@noyoushutthefuckupdad @ChristiJunior @coolboymew nobody bought PS3 at first, but then as prices went way down and there were some absolute gems on the console, pretty much everyone I know had one. It was also getting into that ps2 territory where it doubled as a Blu-ray player and HD TVs were finally becoming common place, so people started buying them more then.
Then you have xbox's complete destruction at E3 with the unveiling of the Xbox one, and that pretty much sunk their ship. Lots of console fanboys dedicated themselves to sony at that point. Ps4 does have some good shit on it too, and unlike PS3 it ran multiplats better than the Xbox did.
I think a lot of people carried that hype into ps5, but I also think a lot of people have been pretty disappointed and especially with the ps5 pro being announced you are starting to see waaaay more of that.
If the switch 2 is literally just a better switch, it'll sell like crazy. Despite me really not liking Nintendo, l will still buy it because they make fantastic games. I'm also curious to try keeping it offline as long as I can because you KNOW people are going to be trying their damnest to break it open. If that shit can emulate GameCube games well I'll be all over that.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @ChristiJunior @coolboymew I think I got my PS3 for like $300 in 2009. By then it was totally worth it. Before then I was still on ps2 and Wii. Played that thing until it melted because last of us gave it a run for its money.
There was a game I really wanted to play on PC, Blacklight retribution, but I had a shit pc that could barely play left 4 dead at minimum settings so it wouldn't even launch the game. Funny enough, that game is why I bought a ps4 at launch lol. Once I really got into pc gaming around 2016 though I didn't really touch it much after that.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @ChristiJunior @coolboymew that being said I don't think the switch 2 will sell quite as well as the switch did. That's not really super sustainable. They're going to need to make new versions of all their consoles sellers for that to happen. Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and Smash all need new editions and I don't think adding a bit of extra content to them will work this time.
