Why do you care and absolutely want this thing to fail? For now, at the price it's sold, it's objectively doing better than PS4 Pro. We'll see if it stays like this in a few weeks.
I don’t want things to fail. Whether I’m right or wrong is not what I care about. I am trying to offer perspective of the totality 5pro launched in, and it should be considered OK to look at any tech market speak after we laid off 250K tech workers and have a certain amount of skepticism about it.
The ceo was asked to provide a statement because their report landed a day or so after 5pro launched. That’s the best he could offer. As gamers you may take what he said as positive news. As an investor, I would not. Whenever I want to invest money, I do a lot more spot checks to validate. Checking on eBay shows me people are trying to scalp like they did with PS5, yet the stores are flush with stock. So what should happen in this case?
I would ask myself are pre-orders actually the same? What will happen with sales now that pre-orders are done. These are all real questions to ask if you have a couple thousand to spend, would you put it on Sony?
you have to ask these questions. As much as Ife profited from nvidia through AI, until the end consumer starts consuming AI, there’s just no way to continually purchase nvidia. They will stop MS, Meta, and all these companies can’t find a way to monetize AI. So despite the fact that Blackwell is sold out, we need to ask if this the bubble will pop or not.
This is the sales thread right? This is where we start talking the business side of things. The other threads are technical. I make the switch with context as required.
Maybe there is some confusion on where I lie in my posting. I do my best in technical threads to spur discussion on how things work, but more importantly for that to work, spade must be called a spade. For business threads I typically look at trends, patterns and futures using the past.
For fanboy threads, I generally leave people to loving what they love.
If I haven’t been behaving in this way, since becoming a mod, let me know. But you really need to consider trying to separate these items before you start calling people out because you read something you don’t like.
