Netflix needs to STFU and put the movies on the stream bro
I know the headline says PlayStation, but this whole thread is ignoring the Nintendo Switch. For every PS5 sold, two Nintendo Switches were sold. Maybe PlayStation and Xbox are on the decline, but the Switch is nearly the bestselling console of all time (the PS2 is still in the lead and will likely hold that title.)
Also when it comes to MUST HAVE games, Nintendo has so many of those to choose from. Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, the list goes on.
Nintendo has absolutely dominated the console market and this article seems to just ignore that.
FYI, Nintendo DS is ahead of the switch still. https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.html
Good catch, so 2nd to 3rd for the Switch.
Yes they fucking are.
Then why aren’t they getting jobs to support this claim? The number of 8 years olds with a credit card is STILL zero and it’s 2025. Aren’t they in interested in building their credit?
The kids only yern for the mines, not the consoles!
That’s because the kids you’re aiming at are busy with Roblox and whatever shitty “freemium” phone games they get their hands on
Dude it’s sad what kids are subject too now. Endless ad spam and shit games. They’ll always be corpo brainwashed.
I would be messed up too if I was introduced to gambling at 4 years old.
Damn I am glad every day I cancelled this shit, and I started as a customer back in under “please mail me DVDs” phase. This company has completely lost itself.
Yup, was a customer from DVD mailing days up to a few price hikes ago. Now I use Real-Debrid with Stremio for a few bucks a month and laugh every time there’s another price hike.
You know what else they’re not dreaming of? Games on Netflix.
I don’t have a lot of experience, but the one 6 year old I’m around the most sure is obsessed with the PS5. I’m sure “Netflix” here means “rich board members” who typically know fuck all about their investments.
I mean, is it that? Or are electronics getting to an unattainable price point? What 8 year old has $400+ for a console and $60 per game? Sure, parents will buy it, but it’s out of range for many.
That too, but also console gens aren’t what they used to be. What has the current gen done to justify itself beyond the prior gen?
The PS5 is basically PS4 Pro 2. Meh.
Where’s the excitement? We don’t have the graphical or storytelling upgrades of the past anymore. What is going to be incredible and new abiht the next generation? Probably not much.
Reminds me of the story from the other day about how 80%? of hours spent playing PC games are on titles more than 6 years old.
Hell, I just upgraded my video card for the first time in seven years, but the reason I did it was mainly due to factors like avoiding increased future costs due to tariffs and wanting modern API support for stuff like raytracing and experimenting with LLMs, not because there was some particular new game I had in mind that required it.
“Fried Chicken restaurant says kids don’t want to eat Hamburgers anymore”
Really? Cause my kids don’t know what Netflix is and love the switch and portal. Maybe it’s Netflix people don’t care about anymore.
My 6.5 yo is obsessed with PlayStation hardware. He watches teardowns and refurbishing videos. He’s interested in all the old PlayStations and upcoming hardware. A lot of this started with Astros Playroom and collecting hardware.
I’m 8 yrs old /s.
I can’t wait for the PlayStation one billion Mario edition.
PlayStation 6 would be cool tho.
Yeah, how about you get better at canceling your own shows before talking ill of anything else.
They probably dream of playing roblox on an RTX5090 XD
I will guarantee that some kid is already going around the playground saying their uncle works at Sony and he’s seen the PS6.
Get fucked Netflix.
