{RUMOUR} Xbox (new) hardware is up in the air, more retail stores will pull Xbox from sale and MS is becoming 100% a third party publisher

Copped a PS5 for the same price at Target last week.

Once again sony stan’s stinking up the forum with nonsense

 

[VegetasHairline]

Sony stans, not Sony Stan's.
Use proper grammar.
Microsoft cult leaders.

Was literally an online only black friday deal.

Didn’t set foot in an actual target store.

Thanks for proving my point

Cloud gaming is still were gaming is headed nothing has changed.


This last year alone this has been proven, and shown by people all over the industry. The only folks in denial are Sony stans

Consoles don't matter hardly as much as they use to and that will continue to get worse for those who want Dedicated hardware that just sits under a screen not console hybrids like the switch or steam deck/ Rog ally

Sony blew millions if not billions trying to cash in on GAAS. The whole I give you some cash you give me a game in return model is not the optimal way to maximum profits of games anymore ESPECIALLY not triple A games.


Price increase always matter but it doesn't matter to me if I'm still getting value of the product

Before COVID we had 9 GameStop in our city and surrounding areas. Filled with 80 percent games

We have 3 now fill with about 40 percent games and the rest is gaming merch.


You can even go to a GameStop on day of release in the evening and expect to pick up a physical copy of a game even if its popular.

They gonna tell you to go online order it and you can pick it up there when it comes in


I've already said this, Microsoft just needs hardware standard certifications. Gaming is in a space were it's a race to be all in one and connected everywhere from everything.

I'm sure it'll be ok once OEM PlayStation products start dropping though

Hey man, I remember when Sony stans had jokes about Netflix and apps on the Xbox or who needs a web browser on their gaming console.

Look at y'all now

Have not been following anymore. They aren’t even selling it for a markup. It’s just sitting there for $450.

Think ima buy it today and try to flip it. Or maybe I’ll just keep it for my son for Christmas

At a local electronics exchange store.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Are these still really hard to come by?

My daughter works at “The Exchange” and she says they got a trade in just sitting on the shelf.

Thinking about buying it

My daughter works at the exchange and she said all that comes in there is dusty nikkas, meth heads and stinky smash players.

That’s your people

Like i said it’s only @ORDER_66 types slumming around in these stores.

I, like you and everyone else purchased our hardware online.

Can't fault Meach for not wanting to be seen in public, we can barely tolerate him in this faceless space.

If it was announced that Best buy/gamestop were closing tomorrow our collective reaction would be

“makes sense, people don’t buy electronics in store anymore”

But of course the Cult gotta pretend reality ain’t real for console wars daps. So here we are pretending, i’m saying something crazy by saying “people don’t buy electronics in store anymore”

Retailers will close up to 15,000 stores this year, more than double that in 2024. In addition, store closures will far outpace openings.

No body goes to these stores anymore to buy games they are waiting on unless they are having some kinda deep sale.

Got my PS5 at Best Buy.

Bought it online and drove up there for the same day curbside pickup.
