Somebody who thinks totals influence averages apparently. You seem confused.

I don't quite follow his take either unless he misworded it

I believe it. They buying 700 consoles. Hell they didn’t mind spending a 1000 for the normal ps5 when it came out. I’m believing they got the money, but they not so bright. They like office politics workers. They don’t know how to manage money.

People with disposable incomes tend to not have to worry about managing their pennies so much.

I can't believe you keep doubling-down on how you don't believe in elementary statistics.
It's getting to the flat-earth levels of ignorance.
Of course 1000 people can be representative of a large population, considering the survey is done correctly.

I'm retarded?
I can't believe you lack elementary logic and not all statistics apply to the real world. Stupidity is reaching to the Mars.

He just doesn't understand how surveys like this work
The amazing part isn't so much him doubling down on it its so many people here tried to point him in the right direction but he refuses to enlighten himself and calls those trying to help him the dumb dumbs

In that case every single dime spent on video games is a case of mismanaging money. It ain't exactly investing in a 401k, now is it?

I'd love to see him in an introductory statistics course and argue with a professor how a sample size of ".000001% of the world's population" can't possibly be accurate.
It's hilarious to see people arguing science because it just doesn't make sense to them.

When you sell to a majority, yes averages make sense, especially when your console is $500 - $700. Aren't Playstation consoles flying off the shelf at a 6:1 ratio compared to Xbox? That's a fairly significant difference.

Depends on the area but it can make a decent living in many sections of the US

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
In some states, yes. But the coastal states and cities, that's borderline impossible.

No midnight launch for me. Delivered straight from PlayStation Direct to my home.PS fans queuing up for the PS5 Pro midnight release:
Whether something is selling 100:1 or 1:1 it makes no difference to an averaged salary. What you're saying makes no sense. This isn't a tally of income for those who own a specific platform, it's an average. An average of 100 people can be the same as 2 people.

Also depends on family size. 62k is definitely high for a single person, but not necessarily for a family, but yes.....still depends on area. In the SE US, that is considered pretty good.

PlayStation takes the hit because users like older consoles better than newer ones and a closer look would likely find the most positive sentiment associated with PS2 and less with each subsequent generation. SEGA, Nintendo and especially Atari are only posts from users interested in dead platforms and they generally have nothing to complain about. Xbox isn't a legitimate console and, outside of providing a cheap PS knockoff console, has never contributed anything to gaming.In a study about the benefits of children playing games, that footnote is used for the clickbait and clout. Nice. Meanwhile...

I'm just here for the "PC Gamers are poor" narrative
Also Fifa + Candy Crush gamers are richest, which tracks on mtx spend

I don’t have time for PC gaming. I need to get home and shit to automatically work. Even with iPhone with all it’s features you have to customize it enough to work for you.
Ill buy the newest iPhone and PS5 every single time on a whim. My time is more of an issue than my money. I hate things that don’t respect my time.

Not for something like income which has such a broad range. Ask 1000 people their height you might get close to an average height in the US, because people can't be 1000ft tall. I mean this is only 20 people per state and each state can vary from 50k to 100k average.

Same with Southern Indiana a person could make a decent living there with decent homes being very affordable in the $150-$200k for a decent starter home.
Living in Jupiter Florida near the inlet on the coast homes here can run 20 million

Yeah, my father lives in Orange Beach, AL and the price of houses there is crazy.
Don't think I'll be leaving the Atlanta suburbs any time soon.

Forgot your meds, or is it time to up the dose? I recommend you see a specialist. Just worried about your mental health

I remember time when my iPhone was like this now, any new one I buy automatically install all of my apps connected to my Apple ID and over the years that number grown quite a lot, as result got lots of screens and last 24 months I didn’t go beyond screen 2 (2 swipes right). Still love my new iPhones when I get them.
Never had an issue with my PC gaming, I check for updates once a week, most of the things is set automatically update by itself. Last game crash I have experience was maybe 2-3 years ago on my PC, but I take care of my PC and at the end of the day play more on Xbox series x so that’s maybe why. Stopped caring about modding etc years ago as well.

My wife loves watching shows like House Hunters and I end up watching her shows since I let her control the TV remote 90% of the time and also why I have our PC desks in the same room as one of the TVs so I can play while we watch said showsYeah, my father lives in Orange Beach, AL and the price of houses there is crazy.
Don't think I'll be leaving the Atlanta suburbs any time soon.
All that to say when a show like that goes to the ATL I am amazed how nice of homes can be purchased for the cost if you get out of town just a little bit, seems like a great place to live
And yeah Orange Beach is quite expensive to if you get close to the beach
