If consoles continue increasing in price? Yeah even casual gamers won't tolerate that. That's why Microsoft is building this future where you can play video games everywhere. Accessibility and convenience always wins people over. That's why we got platforms like Netflix and UA-cam.
Console gaming peaked in the 7th gen (ps3, 360, Wii). Nintendo is the only one keeping it alive because the understand that the console has to be FUN and UNIQUE, its not about powerful hardware. All you need for modern and future gaming is a PC and the Newest Nintendo console.
I feel like everyone just overlooks Nintendo. What is Nintendo doing that is causing their console sales to rise - affordable hardware, accessibility, great software. Sony and Microsoft can follow this formula any time they choose and I’m sure over time they can have a similar outcome. They never will but let’s not be so quick to say consoles are dying when they clearly aren’t thanks to Nintendo.
Subsidized Consoles just don't happen now IMO because the Games cost too much to make and take so long they can't recoup their money there the way they used too. Combine that with the High cost of Tech, Diminishing returns each cycle and a shrinking pie do to fierce competition from every direction thanks to mobile and internet technologies, you can start to see why Microsoft is shifting focus off of the BOX. Rather we like it or not, the industry is rapidly changing and the way we perceive gaming is going to change. The future will be much less about the BOX and focused almost completely on the Service. Imagine if Netflix had to sell you an expensive Box to stream their movies. Well... they don't. You can stream them on literally everything. IMO This is the inevitable future of Gaming at least for Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo will hold out as long as possible. They have invested very heavily in protecting their IP. They are more insulated..... for now.
Great, a price drop back to launch MSRP five or six years later, at the end of the console generation... A year after a new generation of astronomically more power PC GPUs (which are only a few months away) have made it look even more antiquated, almost all its exclusives have come to PC, and the Switch 2 is out and probably the only thing people want... Deep into a worldwide recession, when most folks don't have the free income they did in 2020 (thanks many stimulus) and they are in the head space to hang on to what they have already got... .....And (again) while people with cash for a PS5, _already_ own one, or are holding out for the next generation shortly around the corner that they know will be much more powerful and cheap. And (again-again) while people in other markets in South America (parts of Asia), who traditionally benefit from wider availability and substantially lower pricing of PlayStation consoles after they are end-cycle. They now (really for the first generation ever) ALREADY have access to (and have invested in) inexpensive and powerful mobile and PC hardware! Devices which might not be midrange or high end by North American standards ..but are incredibly widely adopted and favored now for their cost efficiency and good image and performance. So.... Yippie...... 🫤

A lot can happen in all those years

The Xbox is the only console on the verge of death.
The Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson “Fight”on Netflix is Proof of that. PPV would have never got those Numbers.
Thank you for the video

I think Pach misremembered. The PS4 did outsell the PS3 by a lot.
He never said the PS3 outsold PS4. Listen again.
@SIFTDGames didn't he say each generation sells less?
You're taking the quote out of context. He said beginning with PS4 each gen will sell less. He's been saying this for years.
@SIFTDGames my bad then.
Will PS5 see a price drop when Switch 2 comes out???
I think Sony prefers holiday promotions more now, like they temporarily dropped the PS5 slim digital edition price to $375 recently

So.... Yippie...... 🫤
