    There’s literally enough in my PC backlog for the rest of my life probably, don’t need another new console, game or graphics card, ever.

    Maybe the Gabecube will launch with a “console price” after all.

    Haha ok buddy, can’t wait to see you puzzling about why millennials hate game consoles or whatever when launch sales numbers are rightly in the shitter

      You…

      You think they care?

      They want people streaming games to phones/TVs and paying by the hour.

      Not subsidizing console sales anymore will make cloud gaming seem more attractive, and that’s where the most money is at

        Looking forward to indie developers who actually want their games to sell optimizing them for older, more reasonably priced hardware.

      Yeah, feels like the correct move here would be to hold off with the next generation, if you can’t get enough of a performance jump without increasing prices. Otherwise you’re just offering a premium edition.

        I got my new gaming laptop during black friday sales, a few weeks before the AIpocalypse started. The exact laptop I got then is now 400 euro more!

      Me, except at this point my PC will be a Steam Machine with Steam Deck, and Switch 2 on the side.
