None of these consoles have over 3 million units sold
consoles are just coasting off of nostalgia and brand recognition, PC is better in every way
Not one has physical media
>>749040104So PC can play Duskbloods?
>>749040129That's actually a good thing to notice, not one of these attempts have ever had anything physical
>>749040134It will soon, yes.
>>749040134>flop slop>bloodborne rip offat least rep for the true king
>>749040019Sure anon go ahead make your own os and make deals with publishers for exclusive games i'm sure theyll accept not releasing their games on ps5 and steam for your new console.
>>749040341You're telling me steam can't?
>>749040019Have you seen RAM prices?
>>749040104PC vegans are coasting off their parents allowance
>>749040019Having both xbox and playstation is already pretty redundant. A new player would need to do something very unique, or magically whip up a bunch of exclusive IPs like Nintendo has.
>>749040249>>749040224>PC mad they can't emulate console games again
>>749040019Consoles are pointless nowadays, we are past that for over a decade already.
>>749040019Companies think they can get into video game hardware the way they think they can get into the streaming market. And in both cases they lose hundreds of millions of dollars because they lack the infrastructure.
>>749040435You're telling me, Steam, Atari and Sega have nothing?
>>749040515>c-consoles are dying guys>i-ignore the Switch 2 selling 20 million units in a y-year>and the PS5 Breaking records...>C-consoles are dead! Any-any time now!
>>749040516>SteamThey can but wont, unless they hardware cheaper than its cost you can always build a pc to play the same games>atarianon don't make me laugh, it's not the same atari from 70's. Some jewish company bought atari years ago and just using it's name on random crap for nostalgiabaiting.>SegaWould be cool to see actually, they have massive IP's
>>749040661Atari hasn't been the same atari since 83, get your facts straight anon The company that released the Jaguar, isnt the same
>>749040478A vegan will always enter a carnivore thread
>>749040019Won last black friday
>>749040759>t. soiboi
>>749040782hasn't broken 1 million btw
>>749040019Its possible. If Meta or Valve actually stick to VR and actually develop good software they could become staples for people and have a really big advantage against sony and nintendo. Games are always the problem tho, everyone wants to make their own box but no one wants to put anything inside.
>>749040806Yeah that is another name for PC vegan
>>749040846actually it did
>>749040782Jokes aside this thing has 60 exclusive games from respectable names>>749040846It's for children under the age of 9 and unlike nintendo it doesnt have a manchildren fanbase to boost sales, also he's right last black friday this shit sold more than other consoles
Lets face it the console market is a limited environment that has already been captured and is already overcrowded with Xbox/Playstation trying to occupying the same space. The only reason the OG Xbox managed to muscle in was because they had an infinite war chest from Microsoft to bring developers on board,
>>749040936>>749040924it sold 3rd, above the XboxCongrats lmao
>>749040019Because consoles are a mostly dead paradigm that is operating off of nostalgia from the 00s and special permission to ignore antitrust and copyright law. Anyone entering the market now gets none of those benefits, customers will ask why they should buy a more expensive computer, companies will ask what benefit they get from making their software exclusive when they have no audience and lawmakers will ask why their SFF PC shouldn't be forced to support 3rd party storefronts and software.
>>749041040It sold less than steam deck? damn
>>749041105>749041105>c-consoles are dying guys>i-ignore the Switch 2 selling 20 million units in a y-year>and the PS5 Breaking records...>C-consoles are dead! Any-any time now!>p-pc WILL WIN!same argument for 30 years, 30 more years for consoles buddy!
>>749040019There's no more space.There are 5 competitors (kinda).Nintendo, sony, xbox, pc and cellphones.
>>749040019Bottom left is the new console it just exclusively exists in a market space for young kids. That things black Friday sales last year were on pace with the switch 2 and PS5
>>749040846Coming out in japan next year.
>>749041263won't break 1 million
I hate sale number autists, if youre so interested in that why dont you point out that mobile game market is the most earning market? Is mobile gaming better than consoles and computer combined?
>>749041174>he unironically believes Sony's astroturfed shipped numbers where they count PS4s, PSVRs, and other perhipheral and PS5s serviced are realKEK. Guaranteed the PS5 has only sold like 30 million, i barely see them out in the wild.
>>749041408I dont know if i ever met a single person who owned a Switch, and it supposedly hit 156m units sold...
>>749041408>Sony has sold more than 95 million PlayStation 5 consoles worldwide as of June 30, 2026.
>>749041449>>749041408Maybe go outside for once
>>749041408Ahmad PS5 costs triple your monthly salary of course you won't see any.
>>749040782qrd?
>>749041670>guy in Africa shocked no one has a PS5
>>749041453>>749041526>He unironically believes the Shipped numberChrist you are retarded as fuck.
>>749041748>Believes in the sky daddy but not ps5 sale numbers
>>749041748>madlol
>>749040134Demon's Souls 8? How many entries are we at now, I lost count.
>>749041720I don't think so
>>749041826>cope
It's incredibly expensive to manufacture millions of consoles, for one. The market just doesn't have enough meat to have any significant nu-brand pop into existence.Maybe if Mr Beast and PewDiePie teamed up, but even then it would be lucky to get 5-10% of market share.
>>749040019The reason is sad, but the fact is that the videogame industry is at its last breath.These console companies are only still alive because they have fuck you tier money to throw around to keep their shit alive.Even then, AAA games are now absolute garbage, console, subscriptions and game prices are skyrocketing while service drops in quality.In the future, there will be no consoles, just pcs that will act as routers to stream the games directly from a datacenter, which you will pay for in a subscription.The future is bleak.
>>749040019None of those consoles have a singular exclusive "must play" game. You can have a big list of great features that enthusiasts love, but if there's no one fun ass game that everybody wants to play, it won't get a large following. >>749040782Case in point, I don't even know what that is.
I had that Steam machine and I was using it regularly up until around when Genshin Impact came out. I never got the hate or why it failed.
>>749042002It is okay unc, it isnt for you.
>>749042002I doubt you're actively looking for a game console for children under 7 anyway anon
>>749042002why would you know
>>749042002Xbox X/S without any exclusives at all sold 35m so far, what gives?
>>749040019why would anybody give a shit about consoles nowadaysthey are an artifact from a era where multiple hardware companies were fighting each other creating unique architecture, which made each console good in some specific area the devs wanted to focus ln. now they are all using the same fucking off the shelf pc/tablet hardware, whats the point? findom fetish?
>>749041805>Sky Daddy*tips fedora*>>749041820i accept your concession
>>749042050it came out before wine actually worked well for most games
>>749042183convenience
>>749042183There is still no great way to connect a PC to a television without the usage being annoying. Eventually you are reaching for a mouse or keyboard Its even worse when HDR is involved.Consoles lost most of what made them special but until the living room experience is seamless they will have a place.
the only good thing about consoles is physical media. consoles with no physical media are worthless.
>>749040019Nigger we don't even have a 3rd console any more. The console market has spent 25 years contracting.
>>749040782I don't even know what that is.
>>749042231>super mad
>>749042304Just download the torrent and set up the hdmi beforehand like any normal person.
>>749042183>PC fag mad console aren't deadlol
>>749042330you would be right a few years ago, but nowadays there are a bunch of tard-proof distros based off steam os that work off-the-box with any controller you use with them
>>749042330There's OSs specifically made for controllers. Just don't be tech illiterate lol.>Expecting console fags to not be tech illiterateRight... My bad.
The only way for a new console to break group is to go back to the basics. No online, cartridge, predominantly children's games. Kids would like it cause it's easy to use, no accounts and updates. Parents would like it because they don't need to worry about online predators/credit card rape, and physical games make for better gifts.
>Yes pc's are more expensive but you can do much more than gaming with them>Just download the OS made for gaming and nothing more
>>749042642That's just a console
>>749042921they're really notyou pay more to get morethe best snoybox is like getting an r7 2700x and a 9060xt 8gb
Here's your modern independent console bro
>>749042921>Just download the OS made for gaming and nothing morebro youre dual boot?
>>749043154The fuck is that
>>749041931>no argument
>>749043201Playdate
>>749040019These are all PCs or android phones in boxes. They're not proprietary systems in and of itself like consoles are.
>>749040453https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax9yJBB2TXE>but its slow!Just like PCSX2 was, dolphin was, xenia, citra, yuzu..
>>749040421>building $2000+ PCs off of allowanceuh huh
>>749043246What does it play?
>>749043279See for yourselfhttps://play.date/games/
Steam machines and Gabe cube aren't consoles though
>>749043279Anything pre 2020 like red dead redemptio- nothing nigga. It can only play indie games made for it but theyre comparable to gameboy games. It's only quirk is having a crank on the side which works as an analog input.
>>749043154Does the hand crank charge it like a flashlight? That's a neat idea.
>>749043360Anything good?
>>749040019The bottom left has pretty effectively become the console for parents who don't want to buy several $500+ Switches. /v/ never talks about it because it's all baby games.
>>749043270When you don't got bills its easy to save up your allowance, besides most people here got their PC before the steap rise in price
>>749043257I hope my guy i hope...
>>749043426For the most part no. I liked Zero Zero Perfect Stop
>>749040782that a polaroid camera? nice
>>749040516>SteamThey are always going to be a niche because Linux is not viable to the end consumer until every game can be played on it without tinkering or issues cropping up because of the system rather than the game. Right now virtually everything with anti-cheat is off the table which includes some of the most popular games out there. They also don't want to take a hit to their bottom line to subsidize their system sales.The Steam Deck, even if it was sold in stores, I doubt would ever have topped like half of what the Vita did as the Rog Ally literally has kiosks in Best Buy and barely anyone buys the things. PC gaming being cheater heaven also does not help people go to their ecosystem.>AtariDelusional to think they could ever make a push into the market. None of their IPs have any staying power even with their random acquisitions of some Ubisoft IPs like Grow Up or Child of Eden. They have a problem that basically everything they own is an arcade game IP and unless you have complete genre shifts for all of them or heavily invest into brand new IPs there's zero chance for them to ever gain hold in anything but their nostalgia market and maybe some publishing let alone a console maker.>SegaHalf of their IPs are arcade games that will not work in today's climate for the prices they would want to charge. Crazy Taxi is a great example of a game that is going to bargain bin so hard. The other half would need major retooling as games to accommodate today's expectations or have an expanded scope.>Ecco basically needs to fully transition to 3D.>Space Channel 5 as a game cannot function without quadrupling the song count.>Samba de Amigo as a game can only work if it copies the Taiko no Tatsujin model and offer like 100 songs per game.>Phantasy Star, Skies of Arcadia, and the Shining games would need expanded scope.Yakuza, Sonic, Valkyria Chronicles, and Persona would basically be their mains and Yakuza almost never hits 1 million sales for reference.
>>749043405>no analog stickThat sounds gay
>>749043778The crank is like the wiimote in the sense that it can be very fun in the hands of the right dev, or it can be outright shit in the hands of the wrong dev
>>749042594>anon can i pick a different movie on netflix :3Now what
>>749043890Oh okay
>>749042168Xbox had a history of having a must play game called Halo that used to carry it. That's how it became one of the big three in the first place. People kept buying off the expectation that it'll still be selling that one big series they enjoy.
>>749040019one did
>>74904446310 sold
>>749044489SIX MILLION sold
>>749044463Souljaboys famiclone looks better than xbox series s and fat ps5...
>>749043716Sega really was the original "all flash no substance" company and I'm amazed they actually survived as long as they did.
>>749040019The console market is barely sustaining 3, adding a fourth is just throwing away money.
>>749043525To be fair, it probably will be released on PC before the emulator get good enough to run it full speed on regular machines.But you already can emulate a PS5, and will be able to do it better later on.
>>7490449101989-2001?
I mean, it's pretty much just Nintendo and Playstation now.Xbox is dead.
>>749045342Not yet
>>749043928>nonow what
>>749045751>ew I'm leaving anon
>>749040019Every console now is just a PC with locked down firmware outside of Nintendo systems which really only provide a gimmick with every release.The ones still competing are only still here thanks to brand loyalty and lower prices, and they can only get away with that last part because developers are willing to lose a small chunk of their revenue to access their massive playerbases.TL;DR, a successful console needs to be the followup to another successful console in order to succeed.
>>749046137Proof?
>>749043716Poor poor steam
>>749046176That's literally been the ongoing business model since the NES (and earlier technically but nintendo was the first to really try to enforce it), it's not a secret, it's well known by just about anyone who's looked into consoles.>company A makes console>sells it for a bit under production cost>charge company B a license fee to develop for it, provided dev kits (which they have to return after development is complete)>game is released, company A gets their dev kits back and earns a percentage of sales for every game sold for their console>consumer gets to buy company A's game machine for a decent price compared to the hardware in it, and then gets company B's game>company A only pays a small sum on every system sold, but gets far more back from every game sold to make up for it>company B doesn't get 100% of every sale, but gets the chance to sell to a much larger audience making up for itTake away the fact that that company A can guarantee a large audience, and company B wont want to make games for their console, and the best way to prove that is by having an existing userbase from previous generations of their consoles.This means company A has to:>charge more for a new console with no track record of success or existing fanbase and drop licensing fees which can scare off new customers, even if they have a better system overall>eat a loss on every sale to match market rates and hope to still get enough game developers interested to work with them despite lacking an existing userbase>do both and just hope they can generate enough buyers up front to attract game developers later while they eat a loss nowAnd none of those are particularly appealing to anyone that can actually produce a console.
>>749047092Fair
>>749040019none of those have games
>>749047340Steam machine?
>>749047340I bet you feel dumb right now.>>749047390What game can it play that my pc cannot, even a singular steam machine only valve game would help it sell
>>749047517>what game can it playEverything on Steam, what else does it need to do?
>>749047604Answer the full question
>>749047647It is a PC. Thats why someone would buy it
>>749040019The Stadia probably could have did it if it was an actual console and not cloud gaming bullshit. Google would have found some other way to kill it though so it doesn't really matter
>>749040341Why not just make your own exclusives?Valve and epic sure as fuck could.Atari has potential to do it.Cry more
>>749040134Screenshot this post, It wont age good in the upcoming year.
>>749049389What do you mean cry more? How old are you people?
