99% of everything is on PC now these consoles are for kids and poor people 
Most kids don’t even want consoles anymore. Kids stay gaming on their phones and when they want something better they ask for a PC.99% of everything is on PC now these consoles are for kids and poor people
The console market is basically just us.
Those of us that grew up on “nintendo doesn’t”
It’s this weird bubble where video games are talked about, and covered through this antiquated console wars AAA lens, but most people playing games DGAF about none of this stuff we be on here talking about.
It’s always sony stans lining up strawmen to take them down with the same tired stan shyt
Buy another xbox and help the cause breh.I got 3 PS5s in my house.
?!how the fukk do you move the goalposts from one point to another within a single post.
Everything in that video I've been saying for years now. Not even sure what you mean.
Meanwhile, Nintendo has been releasing HoF consoles with nothing but fresh gimmicks, great exclusives, and specs that are usually a whole gen behind at best.
Y'all need to understand that a console is measured by its exclusives

Switch 2 will launch with ZERO exclusives.
What do we measure them with

Surely you don't think that they're holding off the Switch 2 for this long just because of the specs or holiday season.
They're cooking.
Also, I'm sure the PS5 has more than just 2 games that aren't available on Xbox (and vice-versa if we're being fair, but fukk both of em). PC ports don't really count because the markets are different.
To be blunt, the PS5 and the Xbox SeX are competing for the same market, so in the end, what really pushes one system in favor of the other for consumers are the games.
Come back here at launch and tell me how much the switch 2 is worth for playing a bunch of switch games

So we change what the word “exclusive” means and create arbitrary “different” markets to hold on to our console wars narratives

Imagine having a whole PC and saying "You know what I need? An Xbox."
I will. Believe that.
You just claimed they were different markets when it was time to stan playstations lack of actual exclusivesCan you disagree though?
Imagine having a whole PC and saying "You know what I need? An Xbox."
In reality if you own a PC there’s no real reason to own any console other than the fact you like playing on your preferred console.
“exclusives” don’t have much to do with that.
I will. Believe that.

Does that @PS4 @PS5 faq still post in the arcadium.. what are his thoughts?
And now you know why the markets are different
It's not ground-breaking information to say that PC and Switch aren't covering the same market as the two consoles with similar specs, price tag, and other similarities.
Ultimately, the choice between Xbox and PS doesn't boil down to factors like pricing, portability, and functionality, it boils down to whether or not a breh wants to play FF7R, GoW, Tsushima, and TLoU, or if he wants Game Pass, Halo, and Starfield.
Compare that to PC vs Consoles factors, where initial investment, online costs, sales potential, non-gaming functionality, specs, maintenance, and accessories are all factors instead of just "What games can I get, and what do my friends have?"
This is why y'all keep yapping about Sony and Xbox all the time.
Then why say stuff like this?And now you know why the markets are different
You trying to have it both ways.Imagine having a whole PC and saying "You know what I need? An Xbox."
When it comes to xbox some how they are the same market.
When it comes to playstation, “obviously it’s a different market”
Like i said yall playing loose with definitions and goalposts in order to keep up with your stan narratives.
Reality is, “exclusives” are dying and some of you will have to find new and inventive ways to stan your favorite console
