I didn't insinuate otherwise, nor did I even mention it.

Wow the rush to "but sales!" is really strong in la familia huh :messenger_smirking:
What was your need to come a thread about sales to give your opinion on what your favorite piece of plastic does better than its closest competitor? What relevance does it have?

Little Chicken Little Chicken really went to the streets and called for backup.

 
Coming from a guy who named himself after his favorite piece of plastic, that’s pretty funny.

Still waiting on those supposed NVIDIA fanboys who wanted AND to die, btw.
Ok, I named myself after my favorite console, you've been shilling for a japanese conglomerate for a decade. I guess we all have our flaws.

Thus, your flaws are 1:1 with others’ flaws? 😂

I get that your feelings were hurt because you were questioned (and continue to ignore said question), but admitting to being a hypocrite while doing so remains the perfect comedic cue.

Don't forget to put your PS logo snapback on, before you head out, pimp. And no, I'm not digging through r/nvidia posts to show you.

I named myself after my favorite CONSOLE. Not my favorite company. Unlike you, not 1:1 at all.

Outside of this thread, I have no clue who you are. But obviously, your feelings are hurt. So, keep this up! It offers entertainment while boredom persists at work.

Any answers on the fanboys, or was that just a carefully curated lie?

Let's discuss that qoute
No current threat of switching to pc. Where did they say that pc is not a competition. Also the same article mentions. That they are trying to entice pc players to consoles. Why do you think the concern was raised by shareholders? Why do you think they are trying to entice another platforms users?. Because pc and ps are competitors who are fighting over the same userbase. That qoute only proved my point.
Nishino, Hermen and Totoki mentioned that PC isn't causing cannibalization, but instead is helping them to grow and see it as a growth opportunity. The shareholder or journalist who asked about it pretty likely wasn't aware of the related metrics that explain it:

Having record PS MAU proves their userbase is growing, so they aren't losing users. They also shown that over 40% of PS5 purchasers are new to PS.

Jim Ryan mentioned when talking about their GaaS push (which includes PC as an important part of it) that they expected that it was going to help them double their first party revenue from March 2021 to March 2026. They apparently are achieving that a year before scheduled, even if some of these dozen GaaS will be released later than originally planned and some of them will be released after March 2026, the original deadline they had for them.

They also mentioned that are expanding to PC (and in the future mobile too) mainly to reach a way bigger market where there are a ton of players who never would buy a console (specially in strategical countries like China or Korea), so they plan to monetize these players there. Their main goal with expanding to PC or mobile isn't to convert all these players to consoles even if a small part of them do. Their strategy is to make more money by reaching more players.

The console brand you first played as a kid in 1995, "won".

You got ridiculed for this, and I agree for the most part.

However you’re onto something, to an extent.

We are going through a HUGE 90s nostalgia boom at the moment as millennials hit a mid-life crisis and have disposable incomez

Just look at how many remakes we’re seeing of PS1 games right now, 90s boy bands are reforming and we’ve got new movies based on 90s franchises too.

Xbox will never see nostalgia bumps of this magnitude, PlayStation will have many more to come over the decades.

Nvidia has no comp, they're basically a monopoly on high end GPU's, And it's a disaster. But sony fanboys still cheer for this same thing, to happen in the console space. Hey, who cares if you're paying 800-900 dollars for a console? The console brand you first played as a kid in 1995, "won".
The better product line/s won.

My whole point is saying fanboys who want the other "side" to die off, are idiots.
Me wants MS console business to die, it creates more harm than good, and MS long overstayed in this business
People who only know how to sprout "competiotion this, competition that" are idiots. Who don't know how discern healthy competition from unhealthy one (and MS is notorious in trying to push unhealthy one any time it enters the market). What is long term consequences of price wars even though it so lucrative for consumers "right now" etc. There is no free lunch - high competition has it pros, in the same time it has it's own cons.
 
What do you suggest?

Everyone needs to run out and buy an Xbox because they feel bad for them?

Its like you're trying to shame people into supporting them.

This is so pathetic...it's not even fucking funny.

The reality is they should have offered a better product for the last 20 years.

They didn't.
When you quote stuff you should write something that has anything to do with what you quoted instead of some insanely stupid rambling about imaginary things
