No it’s not. It’s the increase of prices of goods and services over time which then each unit of currency can now buy less of therefore less purchasing power. The purchasing power is lowered because of the higher prices not the other way around.

They are a proxy, not an actual military unit. This is the reason why we should’ve never went to war. Now Israel and Iran dictate the terms, not us. This war will never end now. Buy puts.

You care because you keep responding and calling me names. Anyways, back to our conversation. Saying Grand Theft Auto is only 30% of Take Two completely misreads the financial mechanics of the company, and honestly, the math is embarrassing. Take Two just wrapped up Fiscal Year 2026 with 6.72 billion dollars in total net bookings. For Fiscal Year 2027, management's official corporate guidance jumps straight to a record 8.0 to 8.2 billion dollars entirely because Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19th. That is an absolute, single year leap of up to 1.5 billion dollars in brand new top line scale. Trying to act like an unprecedented multi-billion dollar single product launch equates to a tiny five percent blip in market cap proves you are looking at stagnant, trailing numbers rather than forward looking guidance. Furthermore, you are fundamentally confusing unit sales with structural enterprise value. The reason Wall Street values Take Two the way it does is because of Recurrent Consumer Spending, which just grew 17% and now accounts for an astonishing 78% of the company's entire net bookings. GTA Online is the ultimate high margin engine behind those metrics. When a product beats projections by 20% to 50% in a business model where nearly 80% of the revenue is recurring, high margin digital monetization, it completely restructures the company's long term cash flow profile. Claiming that a stock will go down after an unprecedented 50% earnings beat on the most anticipated entertainment launch in history doesn't just ignore macro factors, it entirely defies the fundamental laws of equity valuation.

Nintendo can do whatever they want. Little kids buy there stuff. Sony on the other hand is being outmaneuvered by Xbox. Soon Xbox will be able to produce direct to cloud controllers for $10-$15 per unit and give them away for free. Given the vast improvement in cloud gaming(see Geforce Now)Its a battle of attrition Sony cannot win, that is if they plan on selling the next PS6 at $800-$1000 dollars.
