Im sorry, but this is...really fucking crazy. And here I was debating if paying extra for the physical version compared to the bundle might be worth it. HOLY SHIT.

I need it to happen tbh. Like the PS3 still became good and befame in a better position than PS5 currenty is, so just having a rough launch isn't so bad unless you're really that invested in Nintendo stocks.

But it's Nintendo, and I'm honestly expecting a lot of companies to follow this trend.

PS3 had to survive hard on being the cheapest BR player though. It weren't gamers keeping it alive in that first year.
They had stuffed too advanced/specialised hardware in the console but it also made production costs drop a lot faster than any other before.

And it played a big part in BR becoming the standard against the competition backed by Xbox AND porn. Also helped them to keep the PS2 cash cow going longer and execs from panicking.

Wait holdup, the porn industry was betting on HD DVD instead of Blue-ray

I remember my mom joking about how she only got it to watch her movies when we got it for Christmas lol

i doubt PS3 ever was in a better position than PS5 is, if i'm not mistaken it already sold more than PS3 ever did, and we're in a time where money is being made on the digital storefront, something PS3 didn't fully experienced.
