Again: Why do you romanticize such a behavior? Storming stores, destroying some of these consoles or stuff "in the way", attacking other customers... And as always you ignore most of the discussion points. |
Using your own words: 1 stage of showing insight! Thank you.
But lets get real. You oversaw that i made a mistake and i did not undertand the video with the RTX correctly (You see? Compared to some other folks here, I am able to admit when i am wrong! There where 66 RTX 5080. But only 4 of them where RTX 5090 models. But still 66 GPUs are much less than a full console launch!) But for the Wii's midnight launch on Time Square they had 4000 consoles for ~3000 buyers. They where sold out during the same day.
Back to topic: Its not about destroying inventory oor consoles, it showes the hysteria that is created by these consoles. This is a Level no RTX... will ever create! This is what i mean! Its like when you rush to a concert seeing a famous liveband. People storm in to get te bet places (possibly first row) and they take ever risk to get it. At the Wii launch we had broken glass. There was blood on the floor. We even had to call the ambulance! But i am sure the same happened at the launch of some random GPU as well, no? What sounds brutal actually happened! You see? The hype, emotions and hysteria games consoles and their games (especially physical ones) create can never be met by some digital launch!
