Computer games.


AMD couldn't even keep the newest 5600 series of Ryzen processors on the shelf and that's just one part of a console...no surprise at all if another tech launch has been botched. They all (Intel, AMD, nVidia, TSMC etc) deny it to the hilt but this shyt's done on purpose, they know what the 'kin demand is...they've got decades of release numbers/results.

The life cycle of a console means you don't have to be overtly careful with having too many consoles on the shelves, they'll sell eventually...they always release before the holidays too, when they KNOW demand will be high (got excuses for why that's done, too...I don't want to hear it)....it's all done to keep the price up due to demand. Keep those investors happy, yo...

Maybe they don’t want to make too many first gen ones in case they set on fire haha.

Weird, first time since PlayStation I've not pre-ordered its woeful launch. Will get the PlayStation at some point, and have the camera adapter on route for VR (they will run out), there is no way ill be getting up at silly o'clock or paying a penny over RRP.

Same with any high profile game. No Man's Sky was beyond the pale in terms of fanboy response prior to release.

Then it came out, was crap, and people sent death threats to people saying it was crap.

Idiots.

P.S. I still have no idea why anyone would want a next gen console on release right now... there's next to no games for them.

For me it's more what it will do for the games that are already out.. at least for now.

Destiny 2 is getting it's next-gen update on December 8 and I won't be buying COD: Black Ops Cold War until I get a Series X either way. Cyberpunk is still due out next month as well, as things stand.

For me, Demon's Souls is worth it. Played every other Souls game apart from that and its reviews are in the 90s/100 everywhere.
Plus my brother is expecting my PS4 so he can play the FF7 Remake

Anyway why wait a few months? Could die by then like. No time like the present.
