You can't have infinite growth for everythingThe market isnt growing mat. You can cf25 turbo boost all you want.
I assume College Football 25.Whats a CF25 boost?
He provides numbers to people who pay.Sick of this guy. Just provide numbers or don't. "Answer me these riddles 3 if the sales data you wish to see." How about no.
Mat is seeing increased console sales from the release of College Football.Whats a CF25 boost?
The figures are as of June 2024.Yes, thank you for stating the obvious years late and with less rigor than forum posters, Mat. You're analysis is sooo helpful and instructive.

Yeah, the idea that growth needs to be a constant is so weird. I get that no one wants to lose money, but making a hefty profit should be fine regardless of how much more you are making than you were previously.You can't have infinite growth for everything
For example Call of Duty sales are driven by dudes in their 30s 40s that were playing when they were kids and now they can spend more on microtransactions
It's a buff you buy for 25 bucks in an item store to give your character a 25 seconds XP boost.Whats a CF25 boost?
It's not even a hot take.Pisciatella (tiepida) with another insightful hot take.
Sometimes people who are failing thinking dragging down people who are successful makes them less of a failure.It's pretty bleak for a certain fanbase console so they peddle the narrative that all consoles are in trouble.
I do wish we'd get the all NPD reports like we used to, but Mat is still a good source of information and is pretty good at answering questions.His bosses told him he couldn't freely post numbers anymore, so instead he posts these weird scraps of data and percentages because he likes the social media clout. And he is always acting like a giant baby and deleting posts and blocking people.
I assume that the only reason it was even mentioned by Mat is because Series S saw a surge in the US due to College Football 25.It's pretty bleak for a certain fanbase console so they peddle the narrative that all consoles are in trouble.
I would say the dooming comes more from all the layoffs we're seeing and the console declines from Sony's and Nintendo's reports. Mat doesn't agree with doom.I assume that the only reason it was even mentioned by Mat is because Series S saw a surge in the US due to College Football 25.
Hasn't the game industry grown pretty much every single year since 1995? If the market is growing then you should expect to be growing alongside it at the same rate at the least. If you're not (like MS that is operating at the level they were 15 years ago) you are by definition falling behind.Yeah, the idea that growth needs to be a constant is so weird.

But then I'm not a greedy investor expecting to reap the rewards of doing literally nothing.
Who do you think is paying for this "take"?Imagine getting paid for this kinda of take. Wow.

Maybe Xbox but not PlayStation or Switch, they are both selling well in the US.Consoles just don't have that magic anymore they all are just watered down pcs. Nothing special...
Sells and " magic " are not the same. Consoles use to have identities. Something that made them special. You can look at any game up until the Xbox 360 and say ... that's a snes game .. that's a genesis game. .. that's a pc engine game .. that's a ps2 game.. etc.Maybe Xbox but not PlayStation or Switch, they are both selling well in the US.
Probably the same group that said PC was dead and PS3 would be the last console with phones replacing everything for gaming.It's obvious, but a certain group of people said the console market was dying after poor hardware sales.

That's mostly down to diminishing returns on technology.Sells and " magic " are not the same. Consoles use to have identities. Something that made them special. You can look at any game up until the Xbox 360 and say ... that's a snes game .. that's a genesis game. .. that's a pc engine game .. that's a ps2 game.. etc.
Not any more.
Partly, but also to play Spiderman 2, GOW: Ragnarok, Hogwarts Legacy, Helldivers 2 etc. etc.People are buying PS5s to play... PS4 F2P/GAAS games.
