Why Video Game consoles are going extinct

[The Mad Titan]

Literally what has been being said all throughout the ABK deal.

Now y'all want to pay attention to it.


He also said if it was up to him there wouldn't be exclusives at all. But y'all tee-hee and laughed that off as some round about excuse to get the deal closed.


No nikkas, if MS could just ship games and have a few exclusives here and there to test and show off their proprietary hardware and features they would.

That's ultimately what they are working towards. This isn't something new. Hence why I've been saying since gamepass was announced that console sales won't matter as much for them.

Just like surface sales don't matter much to them. Windows, office and azure aren't simply going to tank because surface sales tanked. And MS is likely never to get rid of some kind of hardware they make for PC use. The samething applies to Xbox.


20 plus years and 70 billion dollars later and y'all still debating and trying to convince everyone that Xbox is falling in one way or another.

PC players are some of the most insecure people. They like those YB fans that would type “YB better” under shyt that has nothing to do with them. There’s so many reasons PC will never overtake consoles but they’ll just close their ears to them

So by your own admission, you should've had the shyt slapped outta your monkey ass for trying to tell someone how to parent their kids, which is considerably more offensive. But you outchea on one over mockery rather than any real disrespect .

You know a nikka down bad when he trying to brag about his dirty ass house .

House dirty because your kids too busy playing switch and punking you like you’re the step father you tried to make fun of.

Only reason Microsoft has lasted this long because of how much money Microsoft as a company has. They've gotten bodied for 3 straight generations.

Gotta commend them for continuing to try tho.

This is just about Xbox users

Consoles aren't going to extinct. There are a lot of people that barely use a computer in their life. Besides maybe at their jobs.

So they own a smartphone for daily usage and a console for entertainment purposes.


At the same time there are many PC users who either barely play any video games or there are gamers who want maximum graphics experience.


Back in 00s you had to own a console because majority of fun games were not available on PC. Things have changed and most of gaming franchises are releasing games for PC owners.

This isn't a flip the switch overnight and everyone abandons consoles moment. This will be a long drawn out process but eventually consoles will be a niche market.

Nintendo is literally living proof of this. They combined their console and portable into a single device and the spec is nowhere near top end yet people still buy it. Eventually your mobile phone and other devices will be able to play games at a AAA level that's acceptable and from there people are gradually gonna lean in that direction. Over time that's going to cause the home console market that really isn't growing in terms of customers to dwindle down to niche level.

We've had 3 console generations since the PS2 generation and no console install base has passed the PS2. At one point Nintendo had the Wii and DS out at the same time each passing over 90 million and (after a blunder) they sacrificed their home console market to consolidate and they're going to struggle to pass the PS2 combining both. That was a device that came out in 2000. If the home console market was growing how has not a single device passed the PS2 in install base? These console makers acquire new customers and shed older ones and it's a net neutral at the moment but we've got decades of numbers that show this isn't really a growing customer base overall.

Alternative avenues to game that people already own will push that down over the long term. The console market is basically treading water and will end up disrupted.

No you're right. If we are looking long term then yes consoles will become far less of a popular choice.

As I mentioned before back in 00s many of the great games weren't available to PC users, so naturally ps2 sold a lot.
You wanted fighting games? Most of them were consoles only. Wanted sports games? Most of them were also console only.
Up until like late 00s when they started releasing PC versions.

You're an online nobody, so there's no need to. Just exposing the hypocritical p*ssy that you are.
