Yeah, and a lot of PS5's there were out there weren't even in the hands of people who actually wanted to buy and play games on them. They were in the hands of scalpers. And after some people dropped their $1000 out of desperation to get one, they had barely any money left to buy games with.

A lot of launch and first year games probably got hammered sales-wise. Read a lot of articles about how most PS5's were in the hands of scalpers instead of customers who would have purchased at least 2 or 3 games. Then, people who dropped $1000 or more on ebay probably couldn't afford more than 1 game for quite awhile.

Maybe the term needs to be retired. It seems like a way to reinforce a notion that good movies are the ones critics, sales and rant personalities pick, and that anything outside of that is some weird thing that's not actually good.

Even the Superbowl is only watched by a little over 100 million people on a planet of 8 billion.

I watched that the other day, on Christmas, as well. It was lovely, though obviously very much an early age book focusing on understanding everyday feelings in a healthy way.

But it was nice to see something that felt like it was carrying on the animation spirit of things like The Snowman (1982). More like this, please.
