For me, it ultimately comes down to launch titles. I can sit on my PS4 if there’s no immediate, compelling reason to switch. Much like I held onto my Xbox 360 for months after the PS4 came out when I finally decided to switch.

My logic isn’t flawed because the numbers I laid out is exactly what happened in 2006-2008. All I did was scale down the quantity of buyers to make the math more accessible.

Xbox 360 cost $715 to manufacture, but they took a $315 hit per unit to sell for $400. And the 360 came out a full year before the PS3. Sony was just totally blind to think they could sell at that premium.

We’ll see. Microsoft slashed that price by $100 seven months after launch. 

They always sell these things at a loss

Horizon was great. Really enjoyed the world it built.

I think there’s a window where the stuff we see when the console drops will still have a legacy-console look and feel to them. While the studios are building on developer kits, they haven’t totally optimized what they can get out of the new hardware.

That’s fair, I’ll admit I partially misread your comment. But the person I was responding to is talking about having a milk allergy, which can have nothing to do with the lactose in dairy products. It is instead often about a reaction to the casein or the whey (or other things).

But they exist in this family of foods called “dairy.”

That isn’t true. Lactose doesn’t break down when heated/cooked ... at least not in a way you would achieve in making a 15-20 minute meal.

People who like grits that aren’t nice and creamy are missing out. 

I’ve, literally, never had shrimp and grits that didn’t have cheese in them, or where the grits weren’t prepared using milk. And to be pedantic, I just googled shrimp and grits, and of the top 15 recipes I found, they all contained some combination of cheddar, Parmesan, milk or heavy cream. So I pretty much refute…

I’m willing to bet it will be in the $400-500 neighborhood. My guess is about $450, and we’ll probably see the same pricepoint for the PS5 as well.

Sooooooo, how does that work for you when you have “real” shrimp and grits that is similarly loaded with cheddar cheese?

I have a metric fuckton of popcorn in my house. But I don’t always have cornmeal or polenta.

You wash them, without factoring all of the stuff you touch along the way. Unless you live in some utopia where airplanes have seatbelts that unlatch for you, doors that open for you, toilet seats that lift up for you, or go down for you, sinks that always turn on for you, soap that always dispenses for you, and paper…

Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Absolutely fantastic on top of a burger.

I strongly dislike Blue Apron because their dishes not only take far longer to make than their competitors, but I’m also trashing my entire kitchen for one meal. I think it was Hello Fresh that I also did once. The meals were more simple than Blue Apron (but still tasted great), and I was able to cook the entire meal…

Uhhh. Ok I guess this needs to be explained.
