It’s a joke on the headline phrasing of moving everything to a single “French cloud”.

What an ephemeral solution.
People still have houses and mortgages after the mortgage bubble burst in 2007.
The internet, ecommerce, and .com’s still exist after the dot com bubble burst in the early 2000s.
A bubble bursting doesn’t mean that thing dies and goes away. It means that the hype for it goes away and the market normalizes/corrects suddenly.
There’s a VC run and an attempt to force AI usage into things where it doesn’t belong, or serves no purposes, or completely alienates the user base. There is going to be a correction for sure, and its not going to be pretty.
The Switch 2 is very likely to struggle, but this consultant’s reasoning is dumb as fuck, and belittlies average gamers as ‘normies’. His analysis of why it will struggle, and why the WiiU failed is off base. The average person doesn’t look at the PS5 and PS4 and go “but why, they look the same.”, they understand that its the updated version with imrpovements.
Nintendo is going to struggle due to:
- Handheld PC alternatives that outperform and have much larger game libraries for similar cost.
- Pissing off the emulation crowd
- Pissing off fans for fan project shutdowns
- Pissing off fans of Smash Bros Melee
- Joycon drift denial
- Stealing fan art.
- Failing to adapt to a rapidly changing gaming market.
- 500 other things.
If I were Nintendo, I’d be working quickly as possible to getting their virtual store available for Windows/Linux/Mac and developing a brand for the platform to feature games that reflected their consoles.
After reading through these, I have to say, none of these are stellar examples of writing from the human authors (good, or above average for sure). However I can tell that there’s a personal touch there.
However, the AI generated stuff easily starts falling into purple prose, and other bad literary patterns that show up commonly. There’s also something missing, disconnected, and off. Everything is there for the story, yet it’s organization, telling of events, and reaching for odd details triggers that uncanney valley response of “something isn’t right here”.
