This is because of Switch 2 and Xbox both failing. Price increases also hurt PlayStation.

The RAM shortage bullshit is going to hit PCs first imo

the Console era is over imo, if anything they will bump up the prices again due to the shortage of ram and gpus will become more scarce next year

Switch 2 really did run out of momentum and fanboys are in denial atm: https://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5812561&mc=1&forum_id=2

Like yes it is in fact possible to have a strong af start then for momentum to die. It’s a toy ffs and audiences are fickle. I went to GameStop irl with a Woman and asked about Switch 2 which had ample stock and they didn’t exactly “recommend” it.

Did Nintendo deny you a Job Interview or something? You seem zealously devoted to ridiculing Switch 2. Perhaps you are more of a PS Portal guy 😏

After winning the 9th gen decisively, and seeing how annoying the fanboys and doodikoff are, I just thought I should set the record straight. You’ll notice I don’t have much to say about Mario Kart, DK, or Kirby. Im sure they’re fine but the target audience is disco fries’ kids tbh. Then I saw the 50 YouTube videos on the State of Metroid and it turned into a good old fashioned dogpile on a western developer which I am always, always up for. With that said, Nintendo did release a console with No Games and I’m just stating facts when I say this.

PS5 gets every game that comes out. You’re talking about exclusives. It has a few. Just no western exclusives.

Same thing happened to PC gaming a decade ago. Game maker stop making good games that were moddable, that could build huge communities, etc. And started releasing the same old shit year after year with almost no originality. Counterstrike clones basically killed PC gaming.

I saw this but I wonder if this is even true. 2012ish must’ve been pretty weak between Wii U, Xbox 360 having no momentum left, and PS3 still basically being a failure in the US.
