Far as I can tell console relevancy is now directly tied to gta6. Literally the only reason I can muster to buy one, and even that’s tenuous

Consoles still relevant?
They're putting themselves into a grave willingly it seems. I imagine a ps6 will be $1000+ and be sold as some long term media center integration unit to convince people it's worth it .ps5 is probably the last sony console i buy

I actually think it’s more a “gaming still relevant?” Almost all the money is on shit they can harpoon whales on. If it was “traditional gaming,” consoles would still be super relevant. They’ll definitely be in a precarious price spot but still win on ease of use. The average consumer will still go console. Even GTA6 only matters to start selling more shark cards.

Sony has really fucked themselves. PS4 had a lot of good will. And that seemed to extend into the Ps5 era. Now it’s dead. Xbox is dead.

Long Live Nintendo I guess. They suck too. At least online is cheapo if you do that on Nintendo consoles. But they don’t want physical either.

So they are just telling people they don’t want business or customers.

God I love it when an entire division of a mega corporation thinks it is too big to fail.

I hope they absolutely fucking destroy gaming. One way to finally get the chuds organized and off their couches is to wreck it.

Gaming is dead. Nothing to play, everything is mostly shit with heavy emphasis on money over literally everything else. Including their products and customers.

I maybe play a couple hours a week. They've completely destroyed fun.

same, i've pretty much switched over to playing nintendo first party games and a few indies and really only play on vacation.

western studios and their games are mostly DOA. I enjoyed 007 but it was like 50% as good as Hitman and filled with a lot of nonsense, but even that was like 90% better than everything else western studios put out. everything from EA, Sony and Microsoft now is utter trash. i'm expecting GTA 6 to be a dumpster fire.

Good to see both Sony and MS pushing everyone to Valve. Fuck MS for ever starting charging for online.
