2019-06-24 at 3:38 AM UTCThey come out with new consoles every 5 years.
I don't see the point in spending a bunch of money for something that isn't gonna work in a decade and have all of its services shut off like the Wii.
They are shutting down everything on the Wii U and 3DS so you will have to buy everything through Switch and in a few years they will just make another console and shut down the switch
its an obvious cash grab. -
2019-06-24 at 4:38 AM UTCoh no my 3-400 dollar console is going to be obsolete in 5+ years because time marches on and technology advances!??
imagine being so jedi that 400 bucks for 5 years of entertainment is an "obvious cash grab" to you.
you're a broke bitch with a broke bitch mind so you'll always be a broke bitch.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-06-24 at 4:54 AM UTCWhy because I'm not a materialist? You need to spend that money on new trash every few years or you won't be happy.. you're a basic bitch.
I'm just a thrifty PC master race

Yeah, its bullshit how they want people to have their entire library on a console that won't be supported in a few years. You're the gullible retard that can't see you're being ripped off hardcore.
They release the same games on every platform and make it so you HAVE to have the newest platform to keep playing. If you don't see the issue with that you are just a mindless consumer retard -

2019-06-24 at 5:25 AM UTCThe way these things are designed they aren't gonna work unless it's connected to the internet and when you are it will say "sorry this platform is no longer supported"
Half the content on the Wii and Wii U is gone forever. That's why every game has forced online so you have to keep buying the DLC and sequels
Also if you spend any money on the 3DS like I did now they are shutting down the store so you can only play re releases of old games on the switch. -
2019-06-24 at 6:08 AM UTCThe worst is the way some companies close servers as soon as they can. For example Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield Vietnam. You can't even legitimately buy those games anymore as far as I'm aware.
OTOH pretty sure UT2k4 still works as if it was new.
It costs next to nothing to run a server for a few decades.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-06-24 at 6:10 AM UTCI mean in 50 years time who wouldn't want to pwn the grandkiddoes in online multiplayer

2019-06-24 at 8:27 AM UTCIs not the ps5 to be reverse compatible or whatever they call it? So you can sell all your old consoles keep the games and be merry.

a 500 dollar investment for TEN YEARS of entertainment is not a hardcore, huge rip off. You're a broke faggot crying because you can't afford it, not because you abhor their business practices or cuz you're "not as materialistic" as your so pathetically trying to hide behind. I don't even own consoles, I have a toight little gaming PC, but you are not PC Master race by any means..you play games with graphics and mechanics that predate Atari so come off your shit already.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Things should last. My XBox 360 already Red Ringed of Deathed and had to be repaired/replaced (I'm not sure which was done).
Ideally I'd like to still be playing Skyrim and Deus Ex: Human Revolution on it in 50 years time. TBH I doubt I'll last that long, but still. -

There is literally nothing at all stopping you from doing that, as long as you keep the consoles and the games now or pay the absurd price whatever collectors charge 50 years in the future, both are single player games.
I've experienced I think 2 RROD's. One, I played the absolute dogshit out of it and never once cleaned or took care of it in any way, shape, or form. It lasted 3 years of 8+ hours a day, every day, on carpet, on its side. Shit, my boy even shoved some sunglasses into the disc tray and they stayed there for a year, I just started playing games from the HDD when I thought it was just a broken tray and using it mostly for netflix..Eventually pulled out the glasses and got the disc tray working again lol...The second one I bought used so I think I got one that was treated similarly to mine, but it last about a year. Those were wastes of money, but I'd say partly my fault, partly the companies fault. I should've taken better care of it, like I do my PC now, but if someone pays for a 500 dollar console and its shits out due to wear and tear, you ought to replace for mega cheap or free...having to buy a whole new xbox to feed the addiction was the cashgrab there. I stopped after the 2nd RROD. Fool me twice and all that. -

$400/$500 It's not really a "bunch of money" if you get 10yrs use out of it. I get about 10yrs out of a car and they are far more expensive. -
2019-08-06 at 1:53 PM UTCSo what your gonna spend $500 every 3-4 years just because they tell you? and have to buy all the same games over again because they don't work on the old platform or they stop supporting previous titles
