Google already tried. We know how that went.
Lol. Lmao, even.
"Shaky" isn't anything objective I can work with.
You had layoffs in all times during gaming, no time in the entire industry has been free from layoffs....that isn't some wild thing. Layoffs are happening all over the tech industry and even outside of it.

Stop crying over this and provide actual information that makes any sense in terms of a measurement to support your point.

A game taking um "longer then ever to release" is based on the state of how complex it is to actually put AAA games out. Rockstar has suffered one of the biggest blows to this too, its so fucking shaky for them, it took RDR2 over 8 years to be made and the sadly paid dearly for this with 40 million plus sales, how they are going to recover is beyond me and we could see them close down and this be the end of the gaming industry as we know it......
(series of Tic Tok noises) lol How did I do? Was that sappy teary enough or? lol
If I want to objectively see how the industry is doing, with no actual bias, I need actual data.

Electronic Arts Reports Q4 FY22 Financial Results
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced preliminary financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.
So the last 4 years has seen some of the highest growth and profit across the industry then in almost any time in the entire history of the medium, who the fuck is telling you otherwise is beyond me, but I need some actual data.
I don't see even a shred of any evidence to suggest otherwise
Yes, but just think about it, Apple would invent the home console market
I can see it now, a state of the art $3000 gaming console... that plays mobile games. They will be the best mobile games have ever looked on the most powerful console CPU and GPU that they have ever made for a gaming console, it's integrated smoothly into the Apple ecosystem showing you your heart rate from your apple watch on screen while you game and your friends with the latest iPhone can watch you gaming and they can send messages to your screen blah blah blah
1) People who love video games and see the market opportunity.
Read my post again. Competing is not the word. Now is the time for SEGA to go grab a niche for themselves , and give us what we're missing (fun games again). You can be profitable with a small niche many companies in many industries so this
This
Ok , let's be clear. The losses during this period were NOT solely due to the Saturn. The Saturn was a HUGE hit in Japan. And that clown Stolar killed it early in the West which prevented more money coming in. Then the Dreamcast was also killed early by Peter Moore. SEGA made those losses due to OVERALL bad business decisions, spending a ton on Shenmue, the decline of arcades etc.Not really, the console/platform business relies on selling huge volumes of games to make it economically worthwhile.
If you take a 30% cut of third party game sales then the more copies that are sold the better.
For the above to work you need a platform with tens of millions of paying customers.
That’s why Master System and MegaDrive were successful and made profit, while Saturn and Dreamcast failed and resulted in huge losses.
Firstly , Bernie made the mistake of saying "The Saturn is not our future" before the Dreamcast was launched. That is an unforgivable error. The drop in Saturn sales was due to that comment, not the other way around. If they actually kept releasing so many of the games from Japan, they would still have had some sales - what that number is I don't know. Now your chart shows the Saturn sold about 25% of the PS1s software total in it's final year , what would that 25% be today ?Bernie cancelled the Saturn in the west in mid 97 because by that point they couldn’t give them away and games weren’t selling (look at the top 10 best selling Saturn games in the west, all from 95/96), N64’s launch was the final nail in the coffin and a lot of Saturn owners had switched to PS1 by that point.
Having Saturn-like marketshare today wouldn’t be enough either. Remember, for a new SEGA console to sell it would need exclusives, so bye bye to that money you were making selling Yakuza games on PlayStation.
They don't need to, they already make more from gaming then any of the companies of present without having to lift a finger. The newest M stacked console but could provide some hefty graphics for a super tiny and soundless form but.
You are factoring the PS5 sales during Covid where everyone and his mother wanted to buy a console because they are stock at home. Once that finished ps5 sales dropped significantly to the point Sony dropped a whole brand new game eithe MW3 or spider man last vacation just to keep trajectory of the PS4 sales and even then it didn’t .Again, crashing?
Their consistent winning streak speak for itself.
They don't haven't enough money to code enough stages for KOF and you expect them to release a new console??
The dreamcast line up was incredible, they went down with a bang.
You ever heard of sarcasm?They don't haven't enough money to code enough stages for KOF and you expect them to release a new console??
So just to be clear, all those weekly threads with layoffs at various publishers doesn't mean the industry is shaky?"Shaky" isn't anything objective I can work with.
Stop crying over this and provide actual information that makes any sense in terms of a measurement to support your point.
