An Average Gamer - N

We’re headed to the weirdest game crash in history and here’s the kicker a lot won’t like: Nintendo will keep selling moving forward into 2026 like nothing’s happening, while the competition hits turbulence. Why? Even if people don’t want to admit it is because Nintendo as a whole is currently & still living in their rebound phase from their Wii U days🤷 That’s why they’ll look “unaffected” while the rest of the industry recalibrates around them. Here’s why: 1. Nintendo doesn’t play the same game as the competitors anymore They aren’t chasing photorealism, cutting-edge GPUs, or $300M AAA budgets. Their games are stylized, long-lived, and system-selling for years. Mario Kart 8 has spanned three console revisions—proof they’re insulated from the boom-and-bust cycle. 2. Competitors are trapped by cost inflation Sony, Microsoft, and big PC publishers are pouring insane budgets into games with flattening returns. One flop can cripple a studio. That’s the “weird crash” forming behind the scenes. 3. The “graphics” arms race has stalled Graphics jumps are marginal but costs keep rising. Players aren’t upgrading consoles or PCs fast enough to justify these budgets, creating layoffs, cancellations, and delays—a soft crash, not an obvious one. 4. Live-service fatigue? Yup. The market is OVER saturated. Not everyone can sustain multiple “forever-games.” Nintendo mostly avoids this trap because they focus on the PAY TO PLAY or single-player and multiplayer experiences that don’t expire. 5. Nintendo sells games to people, not hype. Nintendo’s audience isn’t chasing specs or FOMO. They buy when games are fun, not when they’re “next-gen,” insulating the company from the shakeout. 6. The crash won’t look dramatic It won’t be shelves emptying. It’ll be: •Studio closures •Fewer ambitious AAA titles •More remasters and sequels •Aggressive consolidation •Subscription cannibalization Bottom line: Nintendo will keep thriving quietly while the competition navigates the strangest, most uneven crash in gaming history.🤷

@mrMeHola @WeboRei38252 Yo estoy disfruntandome el karma. Csm fue completamente avergonzado por la academia porque la industria vio como habia campaña de despretigio contra de ds de parte del “fandom” de csm. Por eso el autor tuvo que acabar su obra y salir de ustedes. DS esta cargando la industria

@AnAverageGamerX @WeboRei38252 Tú estás ardido de que la gente le tire a Kimetsu?

"Los fans de Chainsaw Man son muy fieles" No lo se, tal vez porque Fujimoto tiene un historial realmente destacable que lo respalda como autor. No como cierto mangaka que se le sobrevalora sin la cuarta parte de esto. Ustedes saben de quien estoy hablando 🫵

@alexherlent @Leafard11 @WeboRei38252 Este fandom será recordado como el gimmick fandom.

@Leafard11 @WeboRei38252 Eso es el equivalente a decir que el chef más talentoso del mundo ya mancho su carrera solo pq se le quemo el arroz, wbn

@alexherlent @Yaguradokkan @WeboRei38252 Y todavia lloras que no se gano ni un solo premio contra demon slayer ni de academia👇 Esto lo esta publicando en reddit para que paren de llorar que csm no gano nada🤡✌️

@Yaguradokkan @AnAverageGamerX @WeboRei38252 Ni te tomes enserió a ese tipo pq es el mismo que una vez dijo que la película de CSM fue un éxito pq los haters de Kimetsu la hypearon

@mrMeHola @WeboRei38252 Es mas el alabar basura para utilizar en contra de un ip popular no es un fenomeno nuevo se llama: campaña de desprestigio Preguntate porque atacaron a Demon Slayer tanto cuando salio la pelicula

@AnAverageGamerX @WeboRei38252 Tiene 2 series y muchos One shots Y claro que cualquiera puede hacer uno pero los suyos son muy buenos

@mrMeHola @WeboRei38252 El fire punch fue considerado una basura cuando lo publico. En el way back puedes ver como le daban una clasificacion pobre y luego que los ds haters descubrieron chainsaw empezaron a trepar su basura. La misma industria ya no quiere saber de el luego de ese final

@swissch33z Its because gen zers arent milennials. Millennials when they were young wouldnt admit that its was older gens. One side would diguise boomers as corporations and the other as policies but it was always the 60 year old farts that keep working together to hoard the wealth

It really is shocking how young people on both the far left and the far right who otherwise disagree on everything can all strongly agree that the old people fucked us over.

@SenatorLuma The current economy is run by 9 mega conglomerates No one will feel the pain of deflation except them because they are our current economy.

a lot of people are pretending not to understand that what americans want is for price levels to go down. they don’t care about real wage increases or inflation rates, they want nominal price levels to decrease. there is nothing you can do about this.

@mathematicanese @RealCalvin1 “Basic competenies” is code for if this person willing to do 3 jobs for the salary of one. Foh

@RealCalvin1 I know plenty of people who are hiring at 40-50k for entry level positions with with advancement and raises basically guaranteed after a year. They have trouble finding people with basic competencies and have learned to avoid most college graduates.

The job market in the U.S. is an enigma. Everywhere I go is running on a skeleton crew that's dangerously understaffed. Yet none of them are hiring.

I went to a local store to buy something I needed and they had 5 checkout counters… with only ONE employee working them. There was an 8 person line just standing there waiting.💀

Right-wing boomers love using the suffering of their parents and grandparents to justify being greedy, hedonistic slobs. They act like they are never going to die and that every generation before and after them exists only to serve them so they can be entombed in a pile of junk.

@EvelCrisis On the verge?

You can always tell whose mommy and daddy pay for everything and who had to participate in the real world like an adult. Because all the data shows people are struggling as we are are on the verge of another mass recession

@RefinedPopulist Exactly. Look at ur local traitor politicians “We gotta think of the ederly now. We have an old people crisis. We need to invest jn retirment” Pro tip: 2030s job boom is going to involve working in nursing homes whiping boomers butts as the last f*ck u before dying

@AnAverageGamerX And of Boomers will in turn live for as long as possible, jettisoning all their wealth to nursing home and end of life healthcare, so their children get nothing.

If your mother saw how you squandered the rewards of her sacrifices on empty hedonism, only for her grandchildren to end up living barely better than she did, she’d be ashamed and disgusted by you.

If you've ever helped empty out a boomers garage you know "we were just smart with our money and didn't buy tons of bullshit" is a bald faced lie.

@TheThundervamp9 @TheMagaHulk Boomers caused almost every economic boom we see today: chain restaurants, casual dinning, started the tech bubble etc Wtf did they suffered? They milked 9/11 to scare young gens to vote against their interests

@TheMagaHulk They don't want them to experience that. That want to teach them to save and live within their means and be frugal so that if they ever DID experience a Great Depression, they could weather it better. And their grandkids and great-grandkids just want to shit on them for it.

The boomer mindset is incredible. Every generation until the boomers has wanted to ensure their children and grandchildren have better lives than themselves. They made terrible sacrifices in the hopes the next generation would not have to. Boomers want their grandkids to re-experience the Great Depression. Hopefully those slot machines are worth it.

@TheMagaHulk Its very obvious boomers never wanted kids… they wanted to pump the economy with vibes and cash out & leave nothing for future generations.

“my parents ate sh*t so you have to too” Upper class boomers are telling younger people to eat sh*t like their parents cause they want to keep all the wealth till they die…

@escapefrommelos U dont get it bro: “see my parents suffered so you have to too”

the Eternal Boomer will bluntly state that his parents created a better world for him, then “dunk” on his own children for being angry he is leaving a worse world for them. these two sentiments coexist in the Boomer Mind without contradiction.

BREAKING: Americans are feeling worse about the economy now than they were during the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial crisis, and following the 9/11 attacks, per YF

People like this are so funny with “real wage growth” as if my landlord didn’t just ratchet my rent up 20% and undo 3 years of raises and job hops for pay increases
