Interesting video on game consoles last month ago-ish.
Let’s keep the comments civil folks and remember that none of this actually matters and nobody really cares lol
then why make the video lmao

If you want to know if this YouTube channel is of any value whatsoever, click on the channel, then click on videos, and take a look at every video thumbnail and title, and you’ll have your answer. Believe me when I say that I’ll be happy if Nintendo faces financial consequences for some of the things they’ve done in the market, but all this data proves is that PS5 had a large discount and Switch 2 did not.

This actually kicks out Veritasium for having no value, and i have a long standing issue with Derek. I like Veritasium, it’s a valuable channel that is entertaining and educational, but Derek is a sellout for a)knowing how bad clickbait is, talk about it in one of his older video, but continue to engage with it, which got even worst recent year; b) sold Veritasium to private equity, which explains why the shitbait is so so bad recently.
There’s click bait, and then there’s rage bait. Veritasium never tried to get me upset about gravity not being a force with a thumbnail of an evil Albert Einstein saying, “HE LIED”.
They did use AB testing, and some of their video thumbnail and title did have that sort of combination when the AB test is in effect. The best one imo is still the fresh upload, which then youtube will cycle all the thumbnail and then end up with the one that got the most click. If you pay attention to it when they first upload then a day later then a few days then a week, it will usually cycle from good to really bad then finally end in bad as their forever thumbnail and title.
Not sure when the sale happened, but there was a recent video about the invention of the Blue LED from the past year which was really good, highly recommended. To me click bait implies the contents are not worth the headline / title / thumbnail, but old Veritasium and recent have kept up mostly the same level of quality IMO. I will say updating old video titles and thumbnails to juice the numbers was annoying, but the optimist in me figured that at least people who had not previously experienced old Veritasium got it recommended to them which is a positive.
Isn’t the PS5 under heavy discounts at the moment?
In fact, Mat Piscatella of Circana says, “On the hardware side, PS5 saw the most extensive discounting. So, it got a big sales lift. Wouldn’t take much more away from the week than that, tbh.”
Didn’t the PS5 also have a price increase at some point this year though?
It did but any sort of discount is a big deal because nobody expects prices to drop in anything anymore during the end stage capitalism death spiral we’re stuck in.
Why buy a Switch 2 before they make a new Animal Crossing?
Agreed. I always wait for Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Smash Bros.
But honestly, it’s not worth it at the prices theyre asking.
Why buy a Switch 2 before they release the OLED version?
If you’re just going to use it docked, the screen doesn’t matter.
Right, but why buy a handheld console to play it docked when you could just buy a more powerful console? The handheld aspect is the entire selling point, at least for me. The Nintendo exclusives will still be there when the OLED version is released, and they’ll be cheaper by then, too.
Because not everyone walks around playing games. A lot of people obviously enjoy playing in thier living room. These things come with a dock for a reason.
Cold open with a high-pitch whiny voice? Hell no.
Too much money. If I had the money I’d buy both though. In the meantime…“free online games” google searches.
Terrible video. PS5 sold well as it has tons of games and a reasonable price. Switch 2 doesn’t have either yet. Microsoft marked Xbox for death with it’s stupid 30 percent profit push. Done.
🥱
Cool The last console I thought had a valid economic model was the 3DO.
Soooo 0 for 1 then so far
