Makes me think how much more Sony could have charged and gotten away with initially if scalpers are having no problems moving units at $1,000 a piece.

How did the PS take over Xbox?

Hasn't it won every console war by the end of their lives?

Tell him I said hi.

I told him you said his kids were ugly and attached your address. My bad. I forgot what I was suppose to relay and I winged it.

It was literally a very simple solution. Add 2-3 layers of buyers protection when you go and purchase a console. The standard make an account, and click the traffic lights could have sufficed. There is no success when 99 percent of the consoles are bought by the same person to turn a quick profit.

I meant the US. Wii beat PS3 though.

That's my bad, I said console war but I just meant against the Box. Nintendo always been in it's own lane for me. An Xbox and PS might stop you from getting the other. But if you want a Nintendo, it's just Nintendo. If you pick 2 consoles for a generation, it's usually a Nintendo and either an Xbox or a PS. Who gots both PS and Xbox, but don't have a Nintendo?

Do online stores in America not use those captcha code things?

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

360 beat PS3 in the US as well.

But PS4 beat Xbox One.

In this instance they're all selling out stock so it's a case of Sony manufacturing more but demand for the PS5 seems higher than general. I don't think the gap between the PS4 and Xbox One is as big as some people think in the US though.

Damn man. Hopefully they aren't ugly and he just brushes it off.

Honestly, now that I think about it, he'd probably just wanna kick my ass for bringing his kids into a bit.

Rarely, it's not like it's common for items like this to exist. Covid dampered production and increased demand. We have the same shitshow with the new pc parts and consoles.

One day I'll get that sweet sweet 3080, one day.

Meme culture picked PS5. It's over for Xbox :3.
