I'm often wondering if these people (specifically those behind multi-billion dollar corporations) Whom make these anti-cumsumer decisions are even human
"The Switch is too expensive!" I mean, I kinda agree here. It's getting old, and it should have dropped in price once the OLED came out... "...therefore it's okay that the PS5 went up in price!" Aaaand you lost me. Poor guy must have strained his brain after pulling that much mental gymnastics!
They made no work on anything else Microsoft like to keep the price because they made an effect in real life Made Windows lot of software Sony PlayStation consoles and PS PLUS PS NOW BUY an IP made an Headset high in price ( Fair for gamers to pay lot more for headset )
Man, the PS Fanboys saying "well, Nintendo doesn't drop their system and game prices for their 5 year old system...", like it's the same as increasing prices TWO years after launch.
Yeah....almost as pathetic as the deranged, unwashed scum on the Xbox platform defending the Series X for not releasing a SINGLE game in the whole of 2022..........absolutely scummy and deluded fanbase.
The only thing nintendo does is copyright shit and take videos down. they don't hurt consumers they hurt content creators still much better than sony has ever been
"Could you imagine paying the same price for a Nintendo Switch 5 years later" Is this dude really complaining about a product keeping the same price years later and spining it as a negative? That is like if I ordered a Big Mac meal at McDonald's and got mad that it costs the same as it has always been
@@josuesosa1157 His point wasn’t about it costing more than the Wii U while having less. He was bitching about the fact you are paying the same amount of money for a product you always have been which is fucking retarded and that was the whole point of my comment
People seem to forget that the Nintendo Switch is a 2 in 1 system. (console/handheld) Having a more powerful system is a valid reason to keep a price for a certain time, but even more so when you have the capability to hook it up to your TV or bring it with you. Seriously all these points that guy makes are one-sided. Switch lite already being the cheaper option
From what i've seen around about the matter, i feel that TloU remake scam is way more welcomed by the actual fanboys of the serie, rather than the actual sony fanboys. Because i've seen some hardcore sony fanboys having the common sense of admitting how much of an insult this move is.
They dropped the price on the right console the series s 289.99 And there's an article that says they're giving college kids a discount on a series X ivan
By some miracle I managed to get a PS5 at retail but I still think this is a disgraceful move by Sony which I hope ultimately backfires on them big time. Not that they'll learn since they did this with the PS3 as well.
They're going back to being arrogant Sony from the early PS3 days again! As you said it's only a matter of time before this backfire is on them and hopefully they change their ways again soon!
They will be fine, they will still outsell Xbox. Everyone making this out to be a bigger issue than it is. 90% either already own a PS5 or are from America. So... Stfu?

Well we found out today that Sony actually needed that money for a new mobile gaming studio that the players can fund. Even though they won’t be able to play any of those games on their more expensive console.
I heard it was pretty "cheap" for not even a million. But yeah it really is ridiculous that they go around shopping for studios bit at the same time say they need to increase their hardware price 🤷
Rumor has it Sony raised the price of the PS5 is cause Sony wants their players to pay for the lawsuit so they don't have to lose a year worth of revenue for them😎 I'm kidding ofc but at this point you never know

Actually he's wrong about the Switch staying the same price as back when the OLED model launched, they lowered the price of the original model. An article from Techradar also points out this "The Nintendo Switch OLED costs $350 / £309 / AU$539, and was released on October 8, 2021. That's $50 / £30 / AU$90 more than the original Nintendo Switch was at launch, which instead costs $300 / £279 / AU$449. However, since the OLED's launch, the original model saw a small price reduction, now retailing for £259.99 / $259.99 / AU$435 instead."
As a longtime fan of gaming in general, this is a massive insult man. I already own a PS5 but even I am insulted by this because it sets a new, dangerous precedent for gaming. Since the start of this gen Sony has made an anti-consumer decision every single time they have been faced with a choice to make.
Xbox is the worst?!? So at the cost of 1 3/4 PS games, Xbox players have access to hundreds of games. Meanwhile PC also gets access to gamepass options, steam sales, no need of a subscription to play online _and_ Playstation's exclusives now. What makes PlayStation better now? Ah yes, $70 games and raising the cost on a 2 yr old console that's still hard to find in stores lol
Plot twist: Sony knows that after the Activision/Blizzard deal goes through, Microsoft will be buying up another big publisher (maybe Ubisoft). Sony doesn't want that to happen, so they are purposefully "kneecapping" themselves so Microsoft and Sony have more parity in market share, thus making it more difficult for Microsoft to purchase another publisher.
@@angxlzj Even with Microsoft purchasing Activision/Blizzard, Sony is still the market leader by a fairly significant margin. They are nowhere near a monopoly. Microsoft could buy the entirety of Sony or Nintendo and it still wouldn't qualify as a monopoly.

You gotta watch the PS fanboy who says the only way to stop Sony from moving exclusives to pc is to put bombs in sony headquarters XD it was because of them putting Spider-Man on pc
PlayStation fanboys are crazy... In my country PS5 goes around $900 at retail stores atm... this is insanity for console in country with $450 per month as average salary...
His rant on the Switch is doubly funny when you realize it's 250$ for the Lite, and 329$ for the OLED. And boy did people bitch at the new price of the OLED model because it was an increase from the base model. The console's already very cheap. That's why nobody cares about Nintendo. If Nintendo did increase the price on the Switch, there'd be outrage... I'll give him that, Nintendo definitely doesn't know the definition of "price cut" ((With exception of the Nintendo 3DS, which got a 60$ price cut a few months after its release, and anyone who bought the 3DS before the price drop was given 20 free games, 10 NES games and 10 Gameboy Advanced Games to play on Virtual Console)).
The Lite is 200$ Also I find it dumb that Iwata said it was impossible to have GBA games on the 3DS Virtual Console, when it worked on the DS, and now you just GAVE FREE GBA GAMES. That just makes me lose braincells
Those audio issues you mentioned can sometimes happen if your PC isn't fast enough (or if it is, there's too much bloatware). Now, no way to know that's the cause, but if it is, I do wonder if our friend SupaNova has ever claimed he has a gaming PC for the sake of console wars? Would be interesting to say the least...
Well Nintendo been done trying to keep up with hardware specs since the GameCube flop. Only gimmick the switch has is that it's portable uninterrupted gaming at all times. But to say Sony is ok making the price increase when you can't even physically go to a store and buy one at leisure like other products is the most brain dead take it heard! This is why long time ago I just moved to PC. That way I can upgrade myself whenever I feel the need to
I remember when mcdonalds here had a 1€ cheeseburger at some point for years, until they raised the price to 1,20€ and everyone blew a gasket. Not too far from this situation.
I just got a ps5 last month. I have played demon souls, and that’s it. I wouldn’t buy this console until there is a reason to do so. Not to mention I’m being overcharged for games in the uk. Anyway fuck Sony.
In Canada when you include taxes a PS5 game is pretty much $100. Now that's way too much money. I'd never pay that for a brand new game especially a game thats just another single player 3rd person action adventure type game that you'll likely never play again once you complete it.
Him and Super Nova are good couple and should date because they love to snapping out of blue crying when it comes to them acting like girls when arguing with her ex’s
Nintendo did a price cut for the 3DS pretty soon after it launched because sales were low. They even offered some free digital games to the early adopters who bought it at launch price
Actually here in Canada both OG switch and Oled versions have gone on sale for the last year or so, $50 for the normal and $30 for the Oled . Couple of times it was $80 off too
Imagine if Sony suddenly lowered the price due to the backlash, the narrative would be: “Sony is lowering the price of PlayStation, Xbox is not, haha!” Just shows you that it’s not about the console with these fanboys, it’s about the corporate shilling.
Ofc it's not about the console. Most of these people spend most of their day on Twitter so they spend more time tweeting than they actually do playing their PlayStation that they claim to be the greatest thing ever.
Not related to the topic, but is the viewmodel framerate in the gameplay tied to that retro-style skin or does the game do that in general to help with resources like how Planetside 2 does?
Apparently they just made another revision to the ps5 making it lighter which means less components which means cost less to make and they still said like Henry in Goodfellas "fuck you pay me"
It was increased in the US too. They just did it in a way so they can say it wasn't. They released a bundle that included the Horizon Forbidden West for $549. It has replaced the non-bundle version, which is what normally happens when Sony, Microsoft, and Sony release a console bundle. However, almost every time they do this, the bundle releases at the SAME PRICE as the non-bundle it is replacing. This is not the case this time. Sony raised the price for this bundle by $50 even though they haven't done that in the past. So, yes, they raised the price in the US too, they just did it in a way so they can say they didn't and technically not be lying.
Only thing that made sense would have been the bundle for $50 more... Nothing else. This is someone who leans toward the PC myself. And probably will get a refresh. It will have RDNA 3 in it, etc. If that's the case. Then Nintendo is due for a newer switch. Hardware wise. (Switch Pro, anyone?)
Holy shit, every new video covering Supanova and his terrible takes get somehow even stupider than the last one. These PlayStation fanboys are really something else
Yeah I've never seen a price increase of a console two years into it's life span . And it's funny how they didn't raise prices in the US where the X-Box is neck and neck in terms of sales .
@@Ashpect why should ppl in the U.S care (the bulk of ps5 sales) the price rise does not effect them returnal , ratchet & clank, forbidden West were all great games lol with GOW around the corner
fan boys will be fan boys. If a fanboi is going to defend a company at least get paid for it otherwise they are stupid for doing it for free don't defend a person or company because their actions can change over time. Quite interesting that years ago sony released the PS1 which was very generous when it came to pricing and it was a revolution, now PS5 barely has any of the former benefits with the price increase specially considering the regions like in Latin America where prices of PS5 and games are skyhigh
Fun thing is someone probably could have bought PS5 with current price from scalper when it released, but decided to wait for price to go down and instead get hit by it increasing.
Thanks for this video, I needed a good laugh and this was great. Fanboys suck no matter what clan they belong to but a Sony fanboy is consistently the very worst kind. For some reason, when they buy a console they think they become a shareholder. NOBODY at Sony or anywhere else cares so why white knight for them? Buy the console or consoles you want. Play the games you enjoy, be a GAMER and not a mindless fanboy.
I actually saw a community post on my home page from you about this but I didn’t realize the actual console was getting a price increase. I thought it was the actual games getting increased by 10$ but not the physical consoles. This feels really wrong for a company to increase the price on something that is barely available. I haven’t even seen a PlayStation 5 anywhere so I’m assuming they are pretty hard to come by still. This must suck pretty bad for anyone still looking for a PlayStation 5 and I feel bad for anyone that was actually trying to get one just for this news to come out.
Regarding the "Microsoft and Nintendo can weather the storm" argument, I don't care if Sony can't (though I'm pretty sure they can) do it. As a customer I look at the most compelling option, if I see, that one is pricier than the others that will definitely be a factor in my decision.
This is just terrible, Sony is going on a downward spiral towards obscurity at this point. Even Microsoft realized how fucking stupid the 120$ increase in gamepass was, and reverted the decision. And from the looks of it they aren't going to reserve the decision either! Worst part is sony will probably get away with this Scott free too...
The last time I checked, the price of a Switch is being sold at under MSRP or the console is being sold at MSRP + 1 game (£309.99 MSRP) And this happening in the UK where Sony is hiking the price by £30GBP.
Dude when that sound glitch hit i just thought my headphones died for a second. Truly ads to the experience, now my ears are hurt in 2 ways. One because of the shit take and second because of that godawful noise.
That audio glitch is the funniest thing I heard in years. I think it's coming from him trying to cut his mic off with a manual switch that's awful, I'm guessing it's solidered in by himself.
His only argument is Nintendo hasn't raised their prices since it launched...usually it's been previous consoles got cheaper as new versions were released.

Now, no way to know that's the cause, but if it is, I do wonder if our friend SupaNova has ever claimed he has a gaming PC for the sake of console wars? Would be interesting to say the least...
"Nintendo is selling the Nintendo Switch, a console that is 5 years old, for the exact same price when it launched."
How is any of that a bad thing?
Because they get cheaper to produce over time. Making those old ass APU's for the switch is gonna be much cheaper than it used to be.
I don't see the problem
Well Nintendo been done trying to keep up with hardware specs since the GameCube flop. Only gimmick the switch has is that it's portable uninterrupted gaming at all times. But to say Sony is ok making the price increase when you can't even physically go to a store and buy one at leisure like other products is the most brain dead take it heard! This is why long time ago I just moved to PC. That way I can upgrade myself whenever I feel the need to
@@KeaFunny i Wish Nintendo will return to make an equivalent powerful Console. Both xb and ps R becoming lazy.
I remember when mcdonalds here had a 1€ cheeseburger at some point for years, until they raised the price to 1,20€ and everyone blew a gasket. Not too far from this situation.
Is that a fucking Lego gun in Vanguard 😂
I think Microsoft should lower the price of the series s to $200 as a middle finger to Sony. I don't think they could keep up with the demand
That would be an Alpha move by Microsoft
That would be amazing
considering it’s $289 and it has a microsoft store deal for a free full price game with the purchase of one that would be extremely good
Phasing out Xbox live gold would have the same effect.
@@fxranger326 what? Phasing out xbox live gold will not bring new people into the ecosystem. Selling a $200 console will
I just got a ps5 last month. I have played demon souls, and that’s it. I wouldn’t buy this console until there is a reason to do so. Not to mention I’m being overcharged for games in the uk. Anyway fuck Sony.
Even though I've seen it online many times, it always amazes me how some Playstation fans have this irrational hatred of Nintendo. It's so bizarre.
In Canada when you include taxes a PS5 game is pretty much $100. Now that's way too much money. I'd never pay that for a brand new game especially a game thats just another single player 3rd person action adventure type game that you'll likely never play again once you complete it.
I want a griffin podcast where he has these genius human beings on to talk
Yes, totally! That would be so fun to listen to
King Thrash almost made me think that he would snap out of the madness.
Him and Super Nova are good couple and should date because they love to snapping out of blue crying when it comes to them acting like girls when arguing with her ex’s
Nintendo did a price cut for the 3DS pretty soon after it launched because sales were low. They even offered some free digital games to the early adopters who bought it at launch price
Daily reminder they made ps5 horizon bundle because no one bought horizon and they want to boost its sale.
Before the bundle, I had forgotten that the game had released.
Wait, there was a bundle?
My only gripe with Nintendo is their game prices are unnecessarily expensive still. Physical copy or eshop
Griff if you meant to sync up Nova speaking with the high on life characters then well done
Actually here in Canada both OG switch and Oled versions have gone on sale for the last year or so, $50 for the normal and $30 for the Oled . Couple of times it was $80 off too
Imagine if Sony suddenly lowered the price due to the backlash, the narrative would be: “Sony is lowering the price of PlayStation, Xbox is not, haha!” Just shows you that it’s not about the console with these fanboys, it’s about the corporate shilling.
Ofc it's not about the console. Most of these people spend most of their day on Twitter so they spend more time tweeting than they actually do playing their PlayStation that they claim to be the greatest thing ever.
this is why i love my 8yr old gaming pc it still plays most of the new games and all the ones i love and all i need to do is blow it out.
Not related to the topic, but is the viewmodel framerate in the gameplay tied to that retro-style skin or does the game do that in general to help with resources like how Planetside 2 does?
Its a style choice.
@@malemuffin64 Huh, neat.
Apparently they just made another revision to the ps5 making it lighter which means less components which means cost less to make and they still said like Henry in Goodfellas "fuck you pay me"
It was increased in the US too. They just did it in a way so they can say it wasn't. They released a bundle that included the Horizon Forbidden West for $549. It has replaced the non-bundle version, which is what normally happens when Sony, Microsoft, and Sony release a console bundle. However, almost every time they do this, the bundle releases at the SAME PRICE as the non-bundle it is replacing. This is not the case this time. Sony raised the price for this bundle by $50 even though they haven't done that in the past. So, yes, they raised the price in the US too, they just did it in a way so they can say they didn't and technically not be lying.
Only thing that made sense would have been the bundle for $50 more... Nothing else. This is someone who leans toward the PC myself.
And probably will get a refresh. It will have RDNA 3 in it, etc.
If that's the case. Then Nintendo is due for a newer switch. Hardware wise. (Switch Pro, anyone?)
Supanova's brain just had an implosion
with the price increase they surely have the money to finally port bloodborne to pc right ?
Maybe one day homie
Keep pumping out high quality content like this !!!!!
Holy shit, every new video covering Supanova and his terrible takes get somehow even stupider than the last one. These PlayStation fanboys are really something else
This is the worst damage control I’ve ever witnessed
I wanted to but a ps5 but now I’m getting a Xbox
From 'ponies' to 'pay pigs' in one week.
Thanks for the video it got me 30 minutes of good time
This is the 360/ps3 generation all over again
Yeah I've never seen a price increase of a console two years into it's life span . And it's funny how they didn't raise prices in the US where the X-Box is neck and neck in terms of sales .
The popping in and out made the video so much better 🤣 Nova’s video making skills are unbeatable
I have a ps5 and I love it but Sony has been a disaster this generation.
How lol
@@eugenereeves418 They have raised prices and not put out any good exclusives. By Sony standards, Sony is doing trash.
@@Ashpect why should ppl in the U.S care (the bulk of ps5 sales) the price rise does not effect them returnal , ratchet & clank, forbidden West were all great games lol with GOW around the corner
@@eugenereeves418. Because it's still a shitty thing to do? Also, don't lie to yourself, Pony.
I straight up don't buy games new very often anymore. not a fucking chance I'm forking out £70 for a bloody video game
On the bright side ps5 will be worth more once I decided to sell it 😄
i've seen the nintendo on sale for about £140, no one is looking at this and thinking it has to be cheaper, its a budget console and works like it
fan boys will be fan boys. If a fanboi is going to defend a company at least get paid for it otherwise they are stupid for doing it for free
don't defend a person or company because their actions can change over time. Quite interesting that years ago sony released the PS1 which was very generous when it came to pricing and it was a revolution, now PS5 barely has any of the former benefits with the price increase specially considering the regions like in Latin America where prices of PS5 and games are skyhigh
Fun thing is someone probably could have bought PS5 with current price from scalper when it released, but decided to wait for price to go down and instead get hit by it increasing.
Fanboys are so fuckin funny, I have all 3.
Ikr same here buddy I have all of them and love them so much. Proud gamer
it pisses me off so much to watch grown ass men defending this knowing where i live the playstation 5 already costed 5 minimum wages.
Thanks for this video, I needed a good laugh and this was great. Fanboys suck no matter what clan they belong to but a Sony fanboy is consistently the very worst kind. For some reason, when they buy a console they think they become a shareholder. NOBODY at Sony or anywhere else cares so why white knight for them?
Buy the console or consoles you want. Play the games you enjoy, be a GAMER and not a mindless fanboy.
I actually saw a community post on my home page from you about this but I didn’t realize the actual console was getting a price increase. I thought it was the actual games getting increased by 10$ but not the physical consoles. This feels really wrong for a company to increase the price on something that is barely available. I haven’t even seen a PlayStation 5 anywhere so I’m assuming they are pretty hard to come by still. This must suck pretty bad for anyone still looking for a PlayStation 5 and I feel bad for anyone that was actually trying to get one just for this news to come out.
I have never seen any consumer excited to pay more besides Sony fanboys.
Regarding the "Microsoft and Nintendo can weather the storm" argument, I don't care if Sony can't (though I'm pretty sure they can) do it. As a customer I look at the most compelling option, if I see, that one is pricier than the others that will definitely be a factor in my decision.
This is just terrible, Sony is going on a downward spiral towards obscurity at this point. Even Microsoft realized how fucking stupid the 120$ increase in gamepass was, and reverted the decision. And from the looks of it they aren't going to reserve the decision either! Worst part is sony will probably get away with this Scott free too...
I don’t get why super nova is so mad that the Switch is less powerful than a PS4 when a portable PS4 would cost at least 400 usd.
thats basically what the steam deck is, so yea thats about right
You know he's right cuz he keeps saying "fuckin"
that makes him extra correct
The last time I checked, the price of a Switch is being sold at under MSRP or the console is being sold at MSRP + 1 game (£309.99 MSRP)
And this happening in the UK where Sony is hiking the price by £30GBP.
Dude when that sound glitch hit i just thought my headphones died for a second. Truly ads to the experience, now my ears are hurt in 2 ways. One because of the shit take and second because of that godawful noise.
Just wanna get this out there. The switch has a lite version. It can’t be docked. It’s $100 dollars cheaper than the regular switch.
He really said the bad guys are the ones not raising the price...
That audio glitch is the funniest thing I heard in years. I think it's coming from him trying to cut his mic off with a manual switch that's awful, I'm guessing it's solidered in by himself.
His only argument is Nintendo hasn't raised their prices since it launched...usually it's been previous consoles got cheaper as new versions were released.
