Okay Nintendo if there was any time to release the Switch 2 you need to do it before Trump comes after yo ass

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Game pass looking RIGHT now


With my Samsung TV, I can just play the games from there verse buy a new console that’s gonna be Thousands of dollars.

@MeachTheMonster what our Sony Stans friends gonna do?


Not all them can afford to pay $1500 for a PS6 to play a remaster of a remaster of Spiderman and Resistance and TLOU2

Would be hurting everything made in China. Video games is not even the worst of it.

Would be hurting everything made in China. Video games is not even the worst of it.

and it would have a compounding effect, as many industries use equipment and parts from China. not to mention Trump also talking about tariffs on imports from Mexico, and everywhere else

I understand wanting more stuff to be produced domestically, but we don't have the climate to grow stuff like coffee and bananas

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Blame the WW and latinos... they came out for trump... why you mad at us for?place blame where blame is due...

Na we blaming Ducks and Sony stans too…. Speaking of which

You realize this doesn’t only apply to playstation, right?

In this case it does though

 

[The War Report]

It's gonna tank the whole economy.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I'm getting one before he gets into office for sure. January 20th gives me another month.

 

[Gritsngravy]

I doubt it’s a full ban on China products, it’s going to be on certain strategic shyt

These corporations goin to try and make a deal with trump about that

 

[Gritsngravy]

But prices going up regardless, videos games probably the last shyt to worry about

Ps pro ain’t that serious anyway we gon be playing ps5 (current gen) games at least until 28

Its true that its not that serious, no huge reason to rush and buy it.

But on the other hand, like you said nothing is getting cheaper either so waiting doesn’t benefit you at all. You might as well buy it now and get more use out of it for the next 4+ years.

also, the value of original ps5 is gonna continue to drop in terms of resell/trade-in

I doubt they gon be making games that overpowers the original 5 anytime soon, maybe by 28 and that’s a big maybe

What do you mean ‘overpower’?

 

[Gritsngravy]

What do you mean ‘overpower’?

Running past whatever the five can handle

 

[Rekkapryde]

Running past whatever the five can handle

Base PS5 is the base model for consoles so yes you are right
