Not that I can really blame you, but I was kinda hoping for a 20 second joke video. But then again, I guess you can only say "Piss off and let me enjoy my holiday" so many times before it stops being funny.
The fact that it was funny at all the first time probably says something about our collective self-esteem, but I'm too unsure of myself to take a stab at what it is.

hehehe, that was actually a pretty good joke. no opinion change on Yahtzee's side, thanks for the update.
This is why I'm using my Christmas money to buy a PS3 and use the change to raid the Steam sale. The new consoles just don't seem to be worth the money.
Sorry Yahtzee... alread bought, about a year ago.
I've had my WiiU since last xmas, I didn't own a 360 or PS3 so I've been enjoying the hell out of my console with all the re-releases / ports from those two to the WiiU. I can't remember when was the last time I've played this much in 360 days. So for me the WiiU has been a great buy, and I still have a small backlog of games to buy, a few even Wii games, and it plays Wii games so that's great!
But yes, otherwise I can agree that the systems for this gen have been a bit strange since they all go for so much more than just gaming, while gaming is what we want. right?

Oh Yahtzee betting your money on desperate Microsoft 
Not rly predicting the momentum with consoles. To be fair Xbone is doing better then I expected so he might break even with that bet.

Damn straight, Yahtzee!
I was close to considering buying a PS4, but instead just threw the money into getting a new Haswell and accompanying MOBO. Fare better investment putting money into getting high-end PC parts and get Steam sale games. There's no exclusive games worth playing at all on consoles, and many of the PC exclusives are becoming far more enjoyable (Minecraft mods anyone?).

This was taken down and reposted.
Wtf.
I mean you could have just said "fuck off"
This is so passive aggressive though

So why is this old video being reposted again?, oh that's right, to bash the new consoles and what they have to offer, to have no other choice or justification according to many here but to just get a PC which is mentioned a lot.
Glad to see we have the freedom to change others choices based on ones logic.

Yeah. I agree. Not interested in the next-gen at this stage.
I've got what I need for the next dark souls and I have a pc (and steam).

Well I didn't get to comment on this the first time round. It was a pretty funny video and looking back on it now it seems weird. The PS4 wasn't even revealed at this point. Most of it has stayed the same though (Microsoft's change being the obvious exception) so I guess it's mostly relevant.
And it was re-uploaded because Yahtzee's on Christmas break, guys.

I'm pretty sure the rerun was "to make money for Ben and the Escapist and put up a video over the Christmas holiday because otherwise people would be all "where's Zero Punctuation? Was Yahtzee fired?"Shadow-Phoenix said:
I doubt Yahtzee needs a rerun to tell us how little the next gen consoles have to offer.
I thought last week's video said clip show for this week, so I was a bit disappointed. I mean, first I find out there's no Santa Claus, and now this. Could today possibly get any worse?Evonisia said:
I knew you were going to say that!samus17 said:
Would have been just as good to tell us to fuck off for wanting to buy a next gen though.Zachary Amaranth said:
Either that or a pre recorded video for Christmas day ahead of schedule.
"Remember it's my Christmas break next week, I'll be spending it trying to think of five games this year I didn't totally despise". Well, that's what was said in the credits. I haven't really double checked each line of the whole video.Zachary Amaranth said:
It didn't really imply that there would be any video this week.
