Yeah, and I mean, to your point, the people that are pointing fingers at Nintendo right now, they don't get it. And also, it doesn't matter. I'm not trying to point fingers. Let me take back what I just said. It's not going to matter in a couple weeks when it's everybody. And when the prices of... PlayStations even currently are going to go up and Xboxes are going to go up and all that.
There's probably supplies of stuff that are already made and things are already in stores in America and stuff and it's not going to affect it. It's going to hit a crossover point where the line will be crossed if we continue going this way, which I don't think there's going back from, where The pointing blame at Nintendo, none of that's going to matter because... It's everybody.

It's going to be everything. This is going to be industry-wide. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like none of that is going to matter. To what you're talking about, about the Nintendo generational thing, obviously, yeah, it does really suck. I really do think, though, that that is... again, to the point I just made, least of the concerns, just because it's going to affect everything.

At the very least, on the software side, there are, I mean, I guess Mario Kart is absolutely huge, and Donkey Kong, but the majority of games we're talking about this year are cross-gen, right? At least games that are imminent are cross-gen, that we're hyped for from Nintendo, so they can still put those out. But even those, are those going to get...

And also we're seeing consoles get price increases as opposed to price cuts.
And also we're seeing consoles get price increases as opposed to price cuts.
I mean, that is the other thing, too, is like these tariffs are not only going to affect the things the tariffs affect. They're then going to affect everything else as like a we need to then make more money. Like Game Pass is going to increase its price like they have to or else the games won't be made.

Like that was already a thing of like these games budgets are ballooning and they need to be able to make the money back. And so all of this is going to be a negative effect on gaming as a whole. And I don't think there's any way around it. Go for it, Greg.

Yeah. Yeah. I want to get some super chats about this. Let's see. Thank you very much, Greg. Let's go.
Yeah. Yeah. I want to get some super chats about this. Let's see. Thank you very much, Greg. Let's go.
I honestly feel like it's almost a moot point because I don't think it's about video games. It's like, I think that what you're asking, we can just apply to life. And I think that the answer is, we're either going to be okay, and video games will be okay, or... we're just, we're fucked and there's no coming back from this. And if that's the case, yeah, video games are fucked.

But like, I do think that they're pretty, pretty tied together. Like, I think that video games are going to continue in whatever way that they can, but whatever way they can to your point for the last couple of years, like we're already collapsing. Like we're already in that.

Oh, shit. Yeah. I mean, again, that's the point, right? Video games are just one aspect. We can talk about them, and I think we can use that information to reflect everything else. You can even talk about PC gaming and all that. The more people that are playing on PC, it's like, PC parts.
