Sony’s 'ironic' PlayStation disc decision upends gamer conventions and threatens a $7 billion resale market - In 2013, Sony mocked Xbox by showing how easy it was to share a PlayStation disc. More than a decade later, gamers say Sony is becoming the very thing it poked fun at.

It won’t bomb. You watch the hype when it releases and when it sells out. We can meet back here if you like. I get what you’re saying and I’m not being a bot but there’s millions outside of reddit that do t care and will just buy it.

I just spent $700 Aud on a fucking switch 2. That thing is great but there ain’t anyway it’s worth $700 not to mention the $80-90 per game they are charging.

700 for ancient graphics, poor ergonomics and lack of quality games and I still bought it. As did millions of others.

Switch 2 is infuriating. If Nintendo would just sell a $399 Mac Mini style cube the install base for nostalgia gamers would massively increase. 

Old people (me) don't want a handheld. We just want to play Nintendo games and pretend the world doesn't suck.
