I think kids are not playing on these higher end devices and not compelled to buy these consoles. I think smartphones are also eating up more of younger gamers gaming diets, more than people here want to admit. I can't do it, but I see kids even playing FPS CoD games on touchscreen smartphones ringing up head shots like it's nothing to them. It's a very different generation coming on up, they don't consume or look at games in the same way. They don't really care as much about graphics either, that's part of the problem, it's mainly old farts raised in the 80s/90s/2000s who are concerned with that but that's a demographic that's not getting younger. |
I think graphics still play a huge role other wise ps5 would have failed cause all of its games are on ps4, but the biggest problem mainly for xbox and but also effecting ps5 is switch still selling great for 400$ since 2020 that has never happened before, usually a nintendo handheld would be 100$ 150$ right now tops so that's hurting ps5/xbox cause it cost basically just as much, then you also have PC becoming huge and it makes sense. kids and parents are gonna choose pokemon and mario over what sony and Microsoft offers any day no matter how inferior and over priced the hardware is.
