DarkTransient 10/04/18 10:25:09 PM #2:	They've just launched online, and apparently it had a rocky start? Maybe they don't want to be selling too many new systems at the moment - instead, work on bringing the online up to scratch, then release the new model and start raking it in then - plus existing owners buying the new one. It also sounds like it might be a similar "new model" situation as PS4 Pro / Xbox One X, where it's a more-powerful and more-expensive variant that some people simply won't be interested in. --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAfJB3KYYDg <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:909979209] in why would ...
