He's too smart to actually take that saying seriously though.

Stores are phasing out PS4 games now that the PS5 Pro is coming, but there's not really a killer 'console-seller' game.
Microsoft Recall should have been number 1 by a pretty wide margin, with Apple intelligence in 2nd place. The over-hyped AI features should show how most AI is a complete scam, but I'm sure we'll have to endure even more fake AI features in the coming year.
