new consoles push the technological limits -> game dev costs more money and takes longer -> fewer games coming out -> fewer people bothering with buying new consoles when there are so few games -> less money to keep up with ballooning costs of game dev -> layoffs in the industry -> games take even longer to come out
haven't actually looked into the sales numbers to see if any of this is actually correct but it's how it feels vibe wise
More people are treatlords who always buy the new thing than you think, sadly.
God I hate treatlords.
