| curl-6 said: I think one of the big lessons we can take from this is not to give so much credence to online outrage. Social media perpetuates hate and negativity in order to generate interaction, but that doesn't necessarily translate to real world behaviour. While the narrative online was that the system was overpriced, anti-consumer trash that nobody wanted, doomed to be the next Wii U, in reality people couldn't wait to get their hands on it. We've seen this time and again with gamer boycotts of titles like Hogwarts Legacy or Pokémon Sword/Shield which went on to enjoy massive sales. All the doom and gloom was a storm in a teacup. |
Well, yeah, true, but real world translation of social media has been happening in a different realm: politics, unfortunately.
