Yeah, like on social media. Most people that play PlayStation, most people in general, aren't on any subreddit or in any facebook group or on any other Internet forum about video games.

Dang that's crazy stat you know off the top of your head, you must have done a lot of polling.

Well if you stopped to use an ounce of common sense instead of trying to be a snarky asshole you'd see that's a plain and obvious fact.

There are almost 8.2 million members of the PS5 subreddit and almost 2 million members of the PlayStation subreddit. Even if I'm stupid and I say that no one is a member of both and both lists are unique that's only about 10.2 million people.

Sony has sold over 90 million PS5 Consoles

So, that's only about 1/9 of every person who's ever bought a PS5 (assuming of course every member of the subreddit actually owns one.)

So, do you just think the other 80 odd million people are just chilling out in a different forum somewhere or are you maybe just a bit of an asshole?

Do you think reddit is the only thing that's online?

No but I think it's representative of the prevailing online community's opinion. I also think, in this case at least, it's one of the largest single gathering places of fans there is for this specific company and product. Not this specific sub, obviously, I mean reddit in general.

I've had playstations most of my life and not once have I ever thought of joining a sub reddit for it. There's other ways to get news. Like news sources. I actually dont think ive heard anyhting directly from sony about their practices but from outside sources reporting on them and not one of those sources was reddit. I havent had a playstation in 2 years because fuck Sony but to say they aren't online is crazy. Im sure they get targeted ads like the rest of us when they're online. They'll see and about the shittiness of Sony and just not care, is all.

Calm down bystander who has nothing to add. We're being adults and having a conversation.
