Kid: "Uncle Fluke, what was the burger wars about?"

UF: "Well, that had a lot to do with people who make too much money telling us how we should eat. You see, Chris, the McDonald's CEO, made a video with his product, and he took tiny, little bites. The Manosphere became enraged at the perceived timidity of this man and there were online challenges, to see who could take the biggest bite out of their own burgers without choking to death on camera."

Kid: "But that's the same thing we do on Sunday at Golden Corral."

UF: "And It wasn't until Joey Chestnut, climbed a mountain of Nathan's hot dogs and declared himself messiah that we knew peace."

Kid's Mother: "Other Uncles read stories from books, but Noooo..."

I think it was 10 years ago? Sometime around the time of the Wii and PS and XBOX going at each other, and PCChads were all "Ugga bugga not enough power" but the Wii was pulling numbers, despite the predictions of Nintendo's demise. And now? The first Switch is only behind the PS2 in sales, & the Switch 2 is still selling decently.

XBOX is going to die by the side of the road, neglected and unloved by the way MS seemingly wants to go all in on AI.

SONY can't afford to take on Nintendo alone, not with the PS5.

The next couple of years should be interesting.

"Nintendo has cut its planned Switch 2 output by 33% this quarter, dropping the planned six million units down to four million. This cut is planned to continue into April, it is claimed.

This decision is apparently "driven by slower demand from consumers" over the holiday period, Bloomberg's sources state, and not the wider economic factors affecting worldwide hardware production, like rising component prices."

OpenAI isn't getting the money they want from investors, is killing the Sora video generating app, and is set to almost double their human workforce, is billions in the red again this year, while banks and other large companies are scaling back on data center investments.

Can we NOW admit that massive data center cloud AI was never going to be a sustainable business model?
