I am the same way.

I am 34 now and over the last few years I just don't have the same urge to play games that I used to, and I don't think it's burnout either I still get the odd game I can really get into but those games are few and far between those days, I just don't think games have the appeal they used too.

As long as places like Gamestop continue to sell secondhand games and PC gamers commit piracy they're not going to go away. If anything they'll become more prevalent.

Sad but true.

Blame greedy devs rather than the gamer.

Ah, yes. Greedy devs that are going out of business or being swallowed by bigger companies like EA because piracy and the secondhand games market is killing their profit margins.

I'll put blame where blame is due.


People as stupid as you make me laugh, Devs go out of business because frankly they are stupid and have unrealistic expectations on the amount of games they're going to sell or just make games that people don't want to buy period.

Used games killing the market give me a break, little tit bit Used games sales account for less than 10% of the market.

Time to admit defeat? Did you miss the fact that they're the only one actually making money in the gaming market? lol

Too many people seem to forget the really slow start the 3ds and ps3 had...

PS 4 is selling at a very slight loss with PS plus expected to generate $1.2 billion annually. Also factor in the rise of digital game sales where Sony will make much more than the $10 they currently make off of most game sales.

PS3 lost Sony somewhere in the region of $6 billion in loses(maybe alot more due to PSN hack), Xbox was starting to claw back it's loses and Nintendo made roughly $20 billion in profits last Gen.

Nintendo are fine

Nintendo did lose $81 million in the last quarter. Quite bad for a company that sells it's consoles well above cost.

$81 million is nothing when you have $11 billion in the bank.

Killzone SF isn't even NEAR as much of a flop as RYSE (4). 7 is still a good score, wasn't the hype 8?

Nobody but stupid cows tried to hype Ryse, while they tried(and still do) to hype borezone as the second comming and it turned out to be god awful.

If Microsoft broke a million in NA they would announce it. They havent.

This is one point lemming chose to just ignore,no announcement is the biggest give away they are behind sony,which is over 1 million in US now,and probably close to 2 million if we account EU.

And Cows choose to ignore it all last Gen.
