Awww.
[quote="BRocknRolla, post: 201485124"]These reactions... Just absolutely the epitome of internet stupidity.
My personal reaction to all this is to see how it all goes. A tic-tock method of releasing consoles is perfectly fine with me. It's plenty in line with how much of the tech industry already handles their product releases, and I see no reason we should bind this particular industry to an old model that may no longer make sense in a world where consoles no longer contain cutting edge tech when they're released. Will I get one? No idea. Will it destroy the industry. Certainly not. Does Sony deserve to crash and burn for a mild experimentation with their business model (one which isn't even a novel idea)? Of course not.[/QUOTE]
A console is not the same as those other devices in the electronics industry. You can't change what has worked fine for years and expect everything to be ok. There's set expectations when you buy one. One of those is definitely not worrying about another one releasing after only 3 years, with the potential of the current version losing all the development focus it would have gotten.
Consoles have never really been about cutting edge tech so i don't know why that even matters. The PS4 has sold 40 million despite its "laptop CPU" and "outdated GPU". The majority clearly doesn't care.
The response to this is not going to be good after they announce it. We are already seeing this.
[quote="Mister Megative, post: 201487074"]This is quite possibly the dumbest, most childish, banal piece of tripe I've read all day; devoid of logic, intelligence, maturity, and any understanding at all of not just the gaming industry, but consumerism as a whole. Part of my job is to edit people's ridiculous fuckups. Having read back over your toxic contributions to this thread, I now realize there are some forms of stupid so hopelessly devoted to anti-intelligence that they can never be corrected. Your attitude about videogames and the people who make them is absolute garbage.[/QUOTE]
Give me a fucking break. Like seriously. You don't like they way i post, put me on ignore.
