>>25355638never heard it referred to as that. but this partially proves my point. let me explain: it's simple. I know a lot of people still on the 360, b/c Xbone is still super expensive and honestly not that great of an upgrade to warrant purchasing it, plus atm its game library is pretty unimpressive with many of the games touted as headliners being flops. Sunset overdrive was pretty meh from what I heard, and halo 5 was....pretty bad desu.
BUT, what I'm referring to here is the ironclad shield of marketing known as dumb people. The mainstream, everyday, facebook loving population. /r9k/ would call them normies. I would too, if it werent for the fear of association with /r9k/ kek
but you have to realize, go to youtube, watch any of the huge 100k subbed channels that stream whatever new game is out. people will latch onto new because they have a basic association that new = better. i suppose what you're saying isn't wrong, but the key lacking element here is awareness which normalfags lack
