This just in, Mike, crazy news that this hyper popular, very modern game is going to just tank sales because it's not coming out this year. And oh, my God, people gamers want to save their money because gaming is is expensive right now and they want to save it till next year. Shocking news. Shocking. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I mean, I don't know. This is this is.
about par for the course i think it makes sense people might be holding out if they don't have a console ready to play this on they're probably holding out to see if there's going to be a bundle and potentially save um like a lot of people are buying you know switch to with the mario kart bundle as well kind of kind of saves money on that so i don't know i this definitely makes sense i feel like this is as a consumer i don't know maybe we're the more
more educated consumer who understands that, yeah, this is probably going to happen.
I don't think it's that crazy, honestly, because GTA is one of those titles that is just extent that is extended outside of just the gaming community, right? Like you talk to celebrities, you talk to, I don't know, like sports, sports players, like basketball players, football players. They all know what GTA is. GTA is crazy. such a casual experience for people who don't even identify as gamers.
So I feel like, of course, this makes a lot of sense. A lot of the casual consumers want to buy a console that can play this game. Most of them don't want to wait a whole year or however long it's going to be to get GTA 6 on a PC, unfortunately. So even for me, I will definitely have to buy it twice because I'll buy it once on a console and I'll buy it another time on a PC.
It's just this like global experience that people don't want to miss out on. So I feel like Yes, the number is actually kind of crazy to see like all at once. But if you look, I mean, GTA 5 has sold over 210 million copies since its 2013 release and has still gotten content out and still makes money to this day. So I feel like. Yeah, it makes sense. It's shocking to see that number.
I'm sure for PlayStation and Xbox developers and their company, it's like, damn, we're missing out on these sales. But I mean, you'll make it all back next year. Don't worry.
Yeah, I think it's interesting. The console generation started in the pandemic, but I feel like the first two, three years don't really count just because I feel I personally feel like this generation for those first two years, people weren't developers weren't ready to move on to this next generation of hardware because they had to try and configure all their games to this new hardware.
And a lot of games were still being made for the previous console. And a lot of people were OK with just holding on to that. And that's fine. But it took two years for developers to really get used to the hardware and what the power could provide for their games.
And also, that's when a lot of consumers were actually able to buy those consoles because of all the, I don't know, the people buying everything out, scalpers, and also not being able to afford it. And also, the fact that all the games were coming out on the Xbox One and PS4 anyways. So, I feel like this console generation has really just started. I want to say maybe like 2023? Yeah.
is when it really started popping off. So I feel like that is the actual start of the console generation. So it's not, it feels like it's gone on for a lot longer than it has, but now the content is really rolling in. So now I feel like it's at its height.
hope not for another couple of years because i feel like we're just now settling into this generation um everyone's getting used to the tech they're getting used to the pricing first of all i don't think people are going to want another console that's going to be even more expensive but i feel like at this point we're reaching a point in hardware where it's kind of harder to find the next step that's not going to be absurdly expensive i mean look at the 50 series right like i have the 40 gpu 40 series gpu on my pc and i'm like okay i don't need to upgrade
until maybe the 60 series we'll see so it's like a lot of people are getting really they're trying to save a lot of money everything's so much more expensive now so i feel like it'll be a really stupid move to announce another console which like i know to hate on the ps5 pro but like i mean i i wasn't one of those people i was like i have to have this and i know there's going to be that elite bunch that are like oh my god i need to have the ps5 pro to play uh gta 6 and it's all its glory but i'm like dude as long as i have the game and i can play it i'm fine like
I think that's generally where most of the casual audience is. So I genuinely hope we don't talk about another console for a while, especially since Xbox has that new campaign. If you can play Xbox anywhere, you don't even need the Xbox, which is great. Gives people a lot of different economical options to game on.
Honestly, I'm totally fine if they don't. I feel like that trailer at the announcement of the delay was probably great for them to have. I would say maybe something more towards like Game Awards, right? Because then that's a little bit more around the corner from seeing the game at May. But also, if they don't release anything else, I'm so okay with that. Because at this point...
I think a lot of people just want to see the game when it's ready, right? So getting that trailer a year away, people were like, oh, it looks great. But also, damn, we could have had that this year. It makes people feel a little bit more upset about the fact that it's not coming out soon.
So I feel like if there's more reveal stuff that comes out in December or even January, I feel like that's a little bit better than if they decided to do that in the summer.
Honestly, I totally get it. He's an artist at heart, right? So as an artist, you're just like, I don't want to be one of those, like, I don't want to be a Banksy where everything gets taken. Like everyone likes it. They get it. Oh, it's a, I totally understand it. And I think he understands that in the gaming environment we are in right now,
controversy fucking sells that's why you see a lot of people being grifters one way or another because they're just like oh man controversy really brings in the money also it brings more eyes to something that most people would not have looked at if you talk about it i i get it it's kind of that sort of um he's doing that psychology thing of like oh if something's really weird or people don't really vibe with it they're gonna they're more inclined to look at it
As opposed to a game that gets like, oh, this is a 10 out of 10. You have to play it. And it's like, is it really? Is it really? And people might avoid it for a little bit. It's a weird sort of mental game, but I do understand probably because Death Stranding 1 was so controversial just in terms of like, what is this, a walking simulator? And then people kind of grew into the environment.
