For when the PS5 is out of stock. It isn’t out of stock anymore.
Sony is just as bad in their own ways.
They are both irrelevant. They don’t sell bespoke hardware, they don’t sell bespoke software, they just sell you locked down schlock. The era of consoles is over. With the ubiquitous nature of HDMI, 4K huge format TVs, and universal peripherals, there only thing consoles offer you is LESS choice.
Go vegan, buy a bike, play PC games.
Go vegan
I swear vegans are eventually going to out class religious people for pushing their own beliefs.
Belief that the world is on fire and its mostly because of big agra? ok.
I thought it was because of cars?
I thought it was because of straws?
I thought it was because of private jets?
I thought it was because of deforestation?
I thought it was because of plastic ocean pollution?
I thought it was because of the top major corporations?
I thought it was because of soot ovens in southeast asia?
Seems like I have read that it is predominantly because of everything.
Yes, those are all major contributors, though some of them overlap.
Yes, modern life is a huge fucking problem. Go vegan, buy a bike, shop local.
Piss off ecofash. Modern life good actually.
Industry, medicine, LGBT rights, women’s rights and science all good actually.
Not to mention smug self righteousness.
Gaming journalists sure want a Sony monopoly of gaming consoles, don’t they?
If Xbox didn’t exist, consumers could only choose PlayStation. Nintendo has shown they have no interest in making real console hardware to compete with Sony or Microsoft anymore, so consumers will get literally only one console choice. That’s bad. Especially since they could set prices at whatever they want and nobody could challenge it.
I get journalists hate Xbox, but Xbox needs to exist as a consumer option.
steam deck exists: “am I a joke to you?”
The Steam Deck is not a console, it is a handheld Linux PC with “console gaming” TV output as an afterthought, just like the Nintendo Switch is a handheld android tablet with console gaming as an afterthought.
K… This is just not true. Plenty of AAA games run well on the steam deck. Currently installed on mine, RDR2, cyberpunk 2077, horizon zero dawn, Forza horizon, uncharted legacy of thieves, the last of us, and for funsies I just started another fallout 4 playthrough. I’m sure others have lots of other AAA games they play on their deck.
If it’s the exclusives you’re missing, like Gran Turismo or something, I think that’s a different argument.
Being able to play AAA games is not a qualifier for a console. My PC can also play AAA games, but it is not a console.
The Steam Deck, and Switch, are both handhelds. It is a subcategory of game console, but it is not considered a game console just the same as a Game Boy is not considered a console, but it is a handheld. Both the Steam Deck and Switch have a screen and internal battery, along with a controller that is built onto the device, like a Game Boy.
A Steam Machine is a Linux PC, but is more similar to a console than the Steam Deck.
