Companies would be foolish to release new consoles any time in the next 3 to 5 years. None of this is going away anytime soon.

    It's still fucking ridiculous that billionaire literally just bought the world's computing supply for a decade to build something no one wants and no one even knows how to make profitable...

    It's getting to the point where it only makes sense if they don't want us to have computers anymore.

    They've deluded themselves into thinking they can achieve full ai and take over the world. These tech billionaires got their money young and never grew up because of it

    Upside is that it means they'll go full throttle until they smash into the economic equivalent of a pilon barrier. Maybe we'll get lucky and see some of them kill themselves a la people jumping to their deaths at wallstreet when the great depression set in.

    Look a man can dream, and I dream of death and bloodshed.

    They absolutely don't want you to have computers anymore.

    They all want us to go to game streaming.

    Not just games; everything. They want everything in the cloud, and remember, the cloud is just someone else's computer. They want to own it all, and rent it to you by the hour, and then sell all the data they gather from you as well.

    Right, but the fact that this is obvious means that anyone who DOES release a console in this time period is going to be able to capture a lot of market share since they have little to no competition.
