Remember, news has always manufactured outrage for its customers (advertisers). Guess Nintendo didn’t spend enough on the network
Funny enough now I think this conspiracy is truer than ever, because only a handful of new releases actually require the full capabilities of a PS5 or an XSX, and most of them are being made by first-party studios to sell those consoles.
If we think of phones, that is definitely true. To the point some brands like Apple have been found actively undermining older devices to sell new ones.
Sony made it even more deliberate. They blocked sales on PS3 for the same games that were on PS4. So a game may be $40 and on sale for $12 on PS4 but it would stay $40 on ps3. Developers complained about it and it was out of their hands
Didn’t happen on Xbox. And of course on steam it was the same game all along
It’s fine, just have to understand why they’re saying what they’re saying and what their motivation is
First and foremost they’re an ad company. They sell ad space. They just need to scare people into watching, outrage them enough, get them habitually hooked
