You're literally just being thick for no reason other than to argue at this point. Every point I mentioned is unique to this gen and specifically this time. I literally said the old world doesn't exist anymore, it was quite literally my point about how this gen is unique in that regard unfortunately , so obviously it didn't happen prior to this generation but it's not at all unique to this gen or to just Sony.

Previous gens dropped prices dude.... this gen prices haven't dropped.. and now they're going up. Yes, that's unique to this generation... doesn't make it any less ridiculous.

Can keep thinking it's ridiculous as much as you want, look around you and you can call everything ridiculous atm if you want but it is what it is. You just sounded so stunned and confused and mind blown that this is happening when there is plenty of actual economic reasons for this decision to be made, whether you accept them or not is up to you. Sucks for the Japanese but there is a lot of serious ass issues with their economy atm. Do what you want but continually going on about the past and expecting the same thing now in completely differing economic climates just makes you sound childish. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm expressing the idea of such a thing happening as being ridiculous... not that I don't understand that there's potential reasons for it.... Like I said, economic reasons attributing to the inability to reduce the price over the years...ok sure, but raising prices $100 four years later... is still ridic.. that's all.

madmaltese★ 2,789 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 lol here comes the usual circle jerk Literally have to come pat each other on the back in every thread. But but he was saying this to me, you agree with me right? Good to see things haven't changed. 4 minutes ago, Remij said: His response is basically "well Sony doesn't want to lose money on a console sale anymore" and that "the world has changed" lmao. Yea, annnnnnd... it doesn't make it any less ridiculous Yeah that's my response mate, not inflation, falling value of Yen, economic climate, prices remaining the same = old school price drops, etc. Given you more logical reasons than you deserve tbh since I forgot you've become like dumbo and Dyno. But but its ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. I totally understand it though I swear, but it's ridiculous Which is it? Do you understand it meaning you understand the reasoning (whether you agree or like it is irrelevant) or is it ridiculous? Because things that have a logical conclusion or decision behind them can't be 'ridiculous'. Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, annnnnnd... it doesn't make it any less ridiculous He's not 100% wrong. In the past consoles got cheaper but were also getting royalties per game sold. We're at the point where Sony and MS are paying game makers royalties for their games instead. They have virtual networks to upkeep. Don't get me wrong, whenever Sony has a home run they immediately burn through any goodwill and capital they earned by being greedy. It's wild they are heading into a 3rd console version of the P5 and some how charging more. Link to post Share on other sites

And again, explaining or understanding something doesn't mean defending. Couldn't give a fuck tbh but the reasoning for the price increase is basic ass shit. Literally look at other companies and products in Japan, this is not at all unique or even close to it. The thread asked a question so I answered. Forgot that's not really what this place is, so my bad. Carry on Link to post Share on other sites

Because things that have a logical conclusion or decision behind them can't be 'ridiculous'. The idea that you're paying more for a console 4 years after it released on store shelves than it cost the day it launched IS ridiculous... The idea that the world has changed so much and that statement is true is ridiculous. Can you understand that? It's like someone saying to someone else at the grocery store "Man, it's ridiculous how much food costs these days eh?" as a general remark, and then someone who works at the store says "Well achtually there's tons of economic reasons for it that you may have missed let me explain".... like dude... you having an explanation for it DOESN'T MAKE IT LESS RIDICULOUS Link to post Share on other sites

This and many other products there. So I answered your question and you've been crying about the completely true reason for this post after post If you just wanted to cry about the cost of everything then go ahead, I agree, it sucks fucking balls. But yeah when the yen drops 25% over the 4/5 year period you keep going on about, you crying about no price cut (when in real value they are literally eating a 25% price cut since launch in Japan) and being mindblown at this news makes you sound dumb Link to post Share on other sites

Except your reason was stupid because it doesn't explain the prices remaining the same because the price has remained the same everywhere else (and in some places increased). Your logic would make sense if say the US got a price drop and the Japanese price stayed the same to counter the massively falling value of the Yen. However if the US price stays the same (due to inflation) the way to counter a 25 fucking percent drop in 4/5 years to the Yen is to increase the price of the Japanese model unfortunately. Basic ass maths may be difficult I know but feel free to keep thinking it's ridiculous, can't help stupid Link to post Share on other sites

Sony can afford to lose money on the consoles.. they have before.. And Sony's greed easily explains the reason why prices have remained the same or increased everywhere else.. lmfao.
