The PS5 and Xbox 2 thread - it's happening

[Markman]

Think its a bit amazing that there are ppl confused about about a discounted console and upcoming one.

How come none of these dumbasses never gets confused when buying a new phone its beyond me.
Tex. Iphone. There are X, XS, XR, 11, 11 Pro models and they all look the same and all up for sale.
Everyone of these fuckers know exactly what iPhone version to buy but choosing between a 3 year old console and a new one is all confusing.
Kill yourself.

Because to them the iPhone is an adult tool that helps them live a better life, whereas a console is a toy for children.

Googling average age of console players reveals the number is 31.
This children narrative maybe worked in 90's but its mostly the adults buying and playing consoles besides maybe Nintendos. Kids are mostly hooked on mobile games and social media.

My son, who has a switch, but mainly plays minecraft and roblox, but also CK2 and warthunder, anyway he's most interested in having a PC and is getting my current PC for his birthday on saturday. Consoles don't seem to interest him at all, because consoles don't have discord.

If I had to say from the top of my head which xbox is the newest I wouldn't know either. Is it the xbox one s or xbox one x? I don't even know what the proper names are, never bothered. The retarded naming is clearly hurting their brand, why they insist on continuing such retarded naming scheme is beyond me. Just call the new xbox: xbox 3 or 4 or whatever and then continue off of that.

Ok, I googled it and it's even worse than I thought:
Xbox; Xbox 360; Xbox One; Xbox One S; Xbox One X; Xbox Series S; Xbox Series X;
Jesus fuck.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

I agree that that the naming is retarded

Anyone not doing an extremely small amount of research before spending $500 is a retard that deserves to lose their money.

 

[Mortmal]

lol lol

That was the last innovation worth of interest xbox had, even if its disapointing.They never launched any killer app as usual , not that there is any on the new consoles either.

Most people thought the Wii U was an add-on for the original Wii.

That also supports my point.
Even my kids are PC centric and playing on phones while Im the one using the consoles the most.

Kids dont give a fuck, what percentage of 12 year olds were begging their parents to buy them that new tranny murder simulator Last of Us 2?
Its adults that buy them and adults that play them. Little Jimmy is busy trolling discord channels and derping in CS GO.
Buying the new X or PS5 "for your kid" is a big fucking bag of bullshit.

Playing games on their phones almost cancels that out. Unless they are playing Neo Scavenger.

But while the children narrative is wrong the perception remained because gaming failed to grow in the mainstream. Yes, I said it, gaming on a console or a PC isn't a mainstream thing. And those 31 years old who buy an xbox to play the next AAA title are seen as.. manchildren by the common. Gaming, actual gaming (I don't count people doing flappy bird on a phone as such) has a really tiny public world wide compared to pretty much any other entertainment medium. Almost everyone watches movies or listens to music but IRL the amount of people I know who play video games is sparse, and the amount who would fit into our personal codex niches is zero. Of the few adults I know who play games, they're all into garbo like GTA, CoD, Gears of War or occasional soccer sim.

Aweigh is right, to them (the general public), a console is something for children. It doesn't matter if most people who own a console are adults. The perception the average working man has of a man in his 30s who plays video game isn't very good. Dare I say, not too unlike to how a normal japanese would perceive anime otakus.

Man, I remember the guy who made the head tracking software that used the Wii sensor bar and remote went to work on this. It must've been soul crushing.
His demo actually looked like it could've had use in proper games, without needing to spend 400 bucks on a head tracking kit, but nope, you're off to make shovelware instead.
