Isn’t the PS5 under heavy discounts at the moment?
In fact, Mat Piscatella of Circana says, “On the hardware side, PS5 saw the most extensive discounting. So, it got a big sales lift. Wouldn’t take much more away from the week than that, tbh.”
Didn’t the PS5 also have a price increase at some point this year though?
It did but any sort of discount is a big deal because nobody expects prices to drop in anything anymore during the end stage capitalism death spiral we’re stuck in.
In Europe the discounted PS5 slim costs roughly the same as a Switch 2 in several territories, the whole discount thesis falls of a cliff once one realises that at the same price people still preferred the PS5. Whoever wanted a switch 2, already got it at launch, everyone else can see the cash grab.
Cold open with a high-pitch whiny voice? Hell no.
Why buy a Switch 2 before they make a new Animal Crossing?
They’re not making a new Animal Crossing for the Switch 2. They’re making a free hotel add on for New Horizons that is the DLC but toned down. And adding multi crafting and strafe terraforming. Oh and mouse controls and the ability to call villagers via the mic for the Switch 2. $5 for that.
I’m sure they’ll make one eventually. They don’t have anything else in exactly the same niche, and ACNH was incredibly popular. This seems like the kind of update you put out to make sure people keep the brand in mind while your next title is still too far out to announce.
Honestly, if I was really into AC still I’d be ok paying for the work of some devs of a five year old game if it made some good quality of life upgrades.
And still no Tom Nook store upgrade.
Agreed. I always wait for Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Smash Bros.
But honestly, it’s not worth it at the prices theyre asking.
Terrible video. PS5 sold well as it has tons of games and a reasonable price. Switch 2 doesn’t have either yet. Microsoft marked Xbox for death with it’s stupid 30 percent profit push. Done.
🥱
Cool The last console I thought had a valid economic model was the 3DO.
Soooo 0 for 1 then so far

If you want to know if this YouTube channel is of any value whatsoever, click on the channel, then click on videos, and take a look at every video thumbnail and title, and you’ll have your answer.

This actually kicks out Veritasium for having no value, and i have a long standing issue with Derek. I like Veritasium, it’s a valuable channel that is entertaining and educational, but Derek is a sellout for a)knowing how bad clickbait is, talk about it in one of his older video, but continue to engage with it, which got even worst recent year; b) sold Veritasium to private equity, which explains why the shitbait is so so bad recently.

There’s click bait, and then there’s rage bait. Veritasium never tried to get me upset about gravity not being a force with a thumbnail of an evil Albert Einstein saying, “HE LIED”.
