>mario kart 8dx is STILL selling nearly half what the Switch sells
Actually fucking terrifying how much money this thing generated.

Do you guys think the Switch 1 will eventually outsell the PS2 worldwide? Hardware sales will naturally diminish with Switch 2 out but it'll still do decently for 1-2 years, I think.

>>713121582
It should unless Sony randomly declares it had sold 165 million actually all along. They pulled that card once and they'll probably do it again.

>>713121582
I only care about outselling the DS.

>>713121706
>once
they've done it twice
once when the DS was about to beat it and again recently

>>713121706
Not only will they, the 160 million announcement was specifically designed to allow them to do it again

>>713121706
thing is they can't.
It's official only 160mil units were made.
sony crafted a stone plaque to immorralize it even.
only option they have is making a ps2 classic and saying 'no! these TOTALLY count as ps2 sales! SHUT UP REEEEEE!"

Kek the ritual poster either thought someone already did his job or got scared away

>>713121582
It's crazy how Nintendo has reached such high of a number while basically never discounting the thing. They could still do that if they want to squeeze as much as they can out of the system before they focus completely on Switch 2.

The game runs perfectly on the Steam Deck, a much weaker handheld. The most optimized PC port in years
it is 100% coming to the Switch 2, Nikke could too

The ps2 "sales" are downright hilarious when you look at them with even the slightest amount of reasonable thinking.
>ps2 is still behind ps1 by the time ps3 releases
>due to the slow start of gen 7 and 3rd world countries only just then starting to adopt dvds, ps2 gets an extra long lifespan
>sales slow to under 2 million per year
>Uh oh! DS is getting close!
>literally the year after, ps2 "totally sold" an additional 5 million (bringing us to the fabled 155 million figure), an additional 3x what it had sold the previous few years
>after that, it never gets "updated" for over a decade
>Uh oh! Switch is getting close now!
>"Updated" to 160 million
>most people assume the "update" is to cover the decade+ since the last one
>when you actually read it though, they're saying they "miscounted" when they "updated" it to 155 million, and it's ACTUALLY been 160 million this whole time!
>they just didn't bother to "fix" this mistake until now, and it was purely random why they chose to do it right now, with no correlation at all to other things going on in the industry
>meaning the ps2 went from selling less than 2 million per year, to selling 10 million in a single year, back down to selling so little that it doesn't warrant a single update for the next decade+
>at least unless/until the switch gets close to 160 million
Perfectly believable story

You're gullible if you think that Stellar Blade is coming to the platform... But, I'll let you believe that it won't be the case so I can see pull a total 180 of the game later in the year when they reveal it at a Nintendo Direct with the PlayStation Studios logo and everything xD

I still remember faggots claiming that it would never ever be released on PC. The same thing happened with Rise of the Ronin too.

>>713124557
Why is he even throwing a tantrum over that? Didn't this gookslop already get a PC port?

>>713124652
yeah but its not on the switch! just like how Persona 5 Royal isn't on the switch!

Sony exclusive. Even if it was ported to PC a year later.
This is like if Bloodborne was ported to Switch 2, and now I want this to happen, the seething over Stellar Blade would be nothing compared to that

>>713124652
He claimed it was never going to be the switch 2

>>713125897
>Why did he think E33 wouldn't come if the devs openly wanted to bring it over?
He very clearly listed it on purpose in spite of it making little sense. Because he is also the same person who has kept accusing "tendies" and Nintendo fans of being responsible for the bulk of all anti-Exp33 posting. Which is a baseless accusation, but he samefags to throw around falesflags in an attempt to give his own claims credibility.

>>713121582
Yes, next question

So everyone's been having a meltdown because Chris "Mario Wonder is made by the C team" Dring gave incorrect information regarding Nintendo? Surprised Piscatella actually came out and put him in his place. Someone important must have gotten pissed off by that slander

>>713127719

Not denying that, but pointing out what I see. The OUT NOW isn't consistent with the style of the textbox below Samus, while the thing "under" it is.

No way that switch 2 will allow Korean and Chinese black ships when nintendo is trying to save Japanese game at all cost. Since nintendo is netouyo company who cares about Japan first unlike traitor company like Snoy who betrayed Japan, betrayed USA after Concord bites the dust sooner than any of shitty gachaslop, just like Ishiba. And nintendo has shutted down Chinese service. So no possibility for Chinese game to be on switch 2.

>>713128292
A general direct this month made sense but now that they did the DK direct idk.

then why did they release this right after the Switch 2 Direct?

I'll buy Stellar Blade and download Nikke once both are on Switch

no wonder he can't get the numbers right, I'd have a tough time two when my eyes are looking in two different directions.

>>713129331
Shiftup only started doing consoles game with stellar blade, and sony poached them with Korea dev project.

As for gacha games, Switch also had Azur lane, it's up to devs and publishers not Nintendo.

not either of those anons, but I fail to see how Bananza looks like 64. It already doesn't have 64's biggest downsides with the tag barrel and the overabundant character locked collectables. Only issues I see is the skill tree and the world likely being too open-ended, but those aren't explicitly dealbreakers.

So the game is bad because you don't like it? That it's? And everyone else should stop having fun because you've already "objectively" assessed the metacritic score of the game? Isn't this a supremely immature thing to say?

I understand why people should be weary of modern gaming, I completely empathise with that. But you're just jaded, anon, almost to a parodical extent.

I don't actually know, but a meme in Japan is that crabbing boats are the last resort for people desperate for money since they'll take anyone, because it's a shitty job that has you out at sea for months on end

not the higher ups. of course, the developers know where the wind blows. i know many people in the company, me included have been pushing for the nintendo switch (and switch 2) to be more supported but we don't have the final say at all.

stuff like playstation is more steady and we should wait and see until we get briefed on the ps6 to be certain about our next steps (which is what they were saying about the ps5 in 2019).

>>713134305
What company? Just for refference to laugh at in due time.

>>713134490
No one had a problem with any of these when Microsoft started it all nor when Sony doubled down on it. It's only when Nintendo follows their example that people have a problem with it. You know what I realized about the gaming audience during the last 14 or so years? If they actually felt negatively about any of those things the Wii U would be the best selling console of all time

>>713135260
>stuff like playstation is more steady and we should wait and see until we get briefed on the ps6 to be certain about our next steps (which is what they were saying about the ps5 in 2019).
What the fuck?

>>713135260
What exactly is the excuse? Why aren't the higher-ups watching with their eyeballs the Switch systems printing money for Nintendo for almost a decade now? It just doesn't make any sense. This is the reaction I would expect of dumb solo devs with axes to grind with Big N, not from higher-ups who have to objectively assess market conditions.

>>713135358
infact snoys openly defending it with sony copied all that shit from microsoft, they even to claim that having paid online was better than nintendo having the free online for a while

>>713134598

>>713135260
I absolutely believe you, always been of the thought that even if Nintendo came out with better hardware than the other two and built a massive install base in a short amount of time, devs would STILL "wait and see" while putting everything on Microsoft's shit instead

>>713135410
>What exactly is the excuse? Why aren't the higher-ups watching with their eyeballs the Switch systems printing money for Nintendo for almost a decade now? It just doesn't make any sense.
let me try to be more a bit clearer. they are aware that the switch has been selling very well and that the switch 2 is very likely to be successful but they are reluctant to move away from playstation due to a sense of familiarity from many years ago. they are our bosses and they have the final say so we can only push back for so long before we are told to shut up and work. it gets frustrating because they are willing to jump on board with sony for the ps6 despite the low sales of our games on ps5 but they don't want to get dev kits for the switch 2 until it is 100% certain that the sales of software and hardware won't collapse

>>713135902
I'm even more puzzled. Japan is impossible to understand.

>>713135902
Please don't tell me it's Compile Heart. (Or ATLUS for that matter.)

>>713135856
Because Nintendo don't give devs and publishers a paycheck and blowjobs like Sony or MS do.

Not mention that Nintendo games are competition.

>>713135445
I doubt they'll correct themselves when they spent these past few months spreading misinformation about the switch 2

the most hilarious part is them trying to pretend they sold 160m through when they supposedly produced 160m (meaning there were no RMAs, no replacements, nothing), which is basically impossible (unless they count RMAs and refurbished consoles as new sales, as they've been doing with the PS4 and PS5)

Funny how the wait and see tactic fucks them over more than rewards them, Nintendo won't wait around for their ass forever if they lack a type of game they are more than willing to fill the niche themselves, they lacked a shooters like COD or BF and made Splatoon, lacked a action game and got Bayonetta 2, 3, W101 (for a time) and then Astral Chain devs keep playing the wait and see move and eventually they won't be needed.

Next week we are going to see the real number for PS5 and PS titles now that days of play of whatever the name of the sale is finally over, so this isn't nowhere near close as how bad it will get for PlayStation in Japan.

>>713137630
They also lacked RPGs for almost fifteen years until Xenoblade and other getting made;

This should probably be a hard pill to swallow for Square-Enix, considering how the Nintendo fanbase stopped to care about the Final Fantasy series and that series failed to attract a new base of consumers in the same way that Capcom and BN did with their franchises.

Imagine how big would be the collapse if Nintendo decides to capitalize subs just like Sony and Xbox are doing now; the only thing keeping them afloat and only because Nintendo isn't doing it.

>>713138314
I really don't get SE some of their best RPGs were on handhelds, one of their best sports games were made with Nintendo, Nintendo even let them get the code for Mana collections since they are clowns and somehow lost it yet they always try to stiff Nintendo with proper support they botched the FFCC remaster, botched the Switch versions of KH, botched Chocobo racing remaster even let Octo Traveler die becuase they wanted it multiplatform and lets not forget how they cheap out on Bravely Default remaster they could have easily fit that on the lowest Switch cart or even made a collection with BD and Bravely Second.

>>713139084
I have not played that but after playing several 'true ultra mon hun clones FOR REAL BRO' which utterly fail to capture WHAT mon hun is I am not going to fall for any more.

>>713139430
If it coincided with the Days of Play Sale in the US, it ended on the 11th.

>>713138857
Sony bet really hard on bringing Monster Hunter World to PS, but they weren't expecting that the actual base would move to PC instead. I mean, if they realized that, they would increase the check and turn that game into a full exclusive instead of giving the "everything but Switch" guideline.

>>713139660
To be fair, the only reason I liked Soul Sacrifice is that it was far more of its own thing than an MH clone. In-quest levellng, all weapons have limited resources that can only be recovered via slaying small enemies, all weapons are spells that can be mixed in any combination, etc. The best clones are the ones that set themselves apart instead of being a pale imitation. And because there weren't that many options on VITA (mean LIFE).

>>713139892
Xenoblade is hardly a system seller though. And it would be a good thing for Monolith to move on to a new JRPG IP. Insisting on Xenoblade seems ill-advised.

>>713139903

Fair.
Not trying to shit on SS. I'm sure it's a good game, but I just doubt it'll give me what I want out of a mon hun clone.
I liked God Eater3 quite a bit frankly....it's just NOT a mon hun clone. Nor is Freedom Wars.

Based

Cool (but unsurprising) that the Switch 2 is doing well
I'm currently waiting for a few more games I'm interested in before I get one myself (currently keen on Bananza, Bravely Default and maaaaaaaybe MKW), but I imagine more games will be shown by the end of the year

>>713140430
The point we can both agree is that Xenoblade certainly filled its purpose, to the point where the Switch almost became the default JRPG machine except for a couple of prestige titles. Star Ocean 2 R sales are quite telling on this, the Switch version outsold Playstation domestically but Sony won worldwide by a relatively small margin. I think the Switch 2 generation will be do-or-die for many companies, everyone should understand by now that there was a huge migration to the Switch and the momentum doesn't seem to be slowing down. It will be an interesting gen when it comes to 3rd party support for the Switch, that's for sure.

>>713140708

Hit him extra hard because last week he was talking some big game about it never coming to Nintendo systems, and then 4 days later the news came out

>>713140945
I'm guessing that MKW will either get a DX treatment some years from now or it will be updated throughout the generation. Either way, we haven't seen its final form.

It's a shame that BD is stuck on a gay key card, but at least Bananza is getting a full physical release and is looking excellent. Bananza has Odyssey bones but they clearly let their younger devs go wild with the features. I must say that I genuinely despise skill trees in these sorts of games and much prefer the clean gameplay-forward approach of Odyssey, but I'm still genuinely curious about Bananza.

>>713141715
Stellar blade isn't a hard game to run on PC hardware anyway. It uses UE4 for fucks sake.

>>713134305
If you work for a big western company you should be fine. Now, if you work for a JP corpo then no matter what it should be PC+Nintendo at bare minimum.

>>713141842
Snoys are still unable to grasp the fact that they lost, so they don't realize that the two games they have can and will be lost to the competition. Just you wait until God of War shows up on Switch 2, because THOSE Sony IPs are next on the line

Why is anyone even remotely hyped for a new Sony handheld? If anything all of them should be absolutely terrified and shitting themselves at the prospect

>>713142861
There's a huge sale on playstaion hardware and software for the past couple of weeks. Seems like stores are trying to get rid of them to have more space for Switch 2 stuff.

>>713142514
The Fate franchise is funny, because by any standards, Aniplex IS Sony, but it seems the relation between them and SIE is so bad that they prefer to work with Nintendo instead.

I wonder what they did to reach at that point.

>>713142879
cause sony does what nintendon't

I'm very eager for Sony follow the foot step of the last guy doing their whole commercial around the cause we not Nintendo.

>>713142879
Because the industry handed over that sector to Nintendo on a silver platter after the Vita died of dysentery. Much like how they handed the family market over to them by chasing the brown n bloom "mature" crowd.

>>713142786
I recall them saying that during the actiblizz court case or whatever yuh.
But still sony is going to get flak from both their die hard fans AND 3rd party devs if they put 1st party major titles like god of war or niggerman on switch2.
They still won't sell so...lmao.

>>713142956

>>713142879
>Why is anyone even remotely hyped for a new Sony handheld?
They just want something that isn't from Nintendo that will totally kill the switch for real this time. See the deck.

>>713143043
They'll probably just ask Hoyoverse to make a new offshoot for it and take the whales mobile.

>>713142879
Because the entire game reviewer community is either under Sony's payroll, or huge snoys that do it for free. If they actually build a portable console, you can already expect it to be either an underpowered piece of shit that barely reaches the Switch 2's specs, or a "decent" portable PC that will cost $1000.

And it will still have no exclusives.

>>713141715

>>713143001
The one thing that could and more than likely will kill Sony is releasing a new handheld. They spent 2 decades teaching their audience that only cutting edge big boxes and hyper photo realistic textures matter and anything less is for little faggots. How do you expect them to buy a handheld that you will not support because you are too busy focusing on PS6 games to try and sell those same people a PS6? Nintendo was able to get away with it for the longest time because they essentially built two different audiences for each sector, Sony was unable to do that and they sure as hell won't get away with it in the current year

>>713143130
That or it's going to have 1 year of good releases and then tumble down into nothing but licensed anime/ecchi shovelware like the Vita.

>>713143128
just like with ZZZ?

>>713143247
doesn't the first one that go cutting edge graphic faggot is the Do the math, which one is that again? Jaguar?

>sony fully supports ps6portable, which means their new games will look significantly worse than ps5 games so their decades of ONLY GRAPHICS MATTER brainwashing shortcircuits snoys and they don't buy shit
OR
>sony doesn't supports ps6portable just like they didn't support the vita because, again, ONLY GRAPHICS MATTER brainwashing and so it flops
Hillarious

>>713143387
That was Atari, yes. It's hilarious in hindsight to see the Genesis, Saturn, Jaguar and 3DO piss money while Nintendo was just trucking along with Mode7 until literally redefining vidya with Mario 64.

>>713142879
Honestly, I know quite a lot of people who didn't bought the Switch because it's "Nintendo", but would be quite happy if it was "Playstation".

Let's see if Sony will look at the Vita and realize the three fundamental reasons that handheld failed.

>>713143481
It's such an stupid proposition that I can't believe Sony is considering this at all. Microsoft cancelled their in-house handheld for a reason, and those guys could afford to sell zero units unlike Sony

>>713143239

>>713143481

>>713143481
about graphics, I don't think a lot of ps5 can beat The Order 1886 on PS4.
and that game also the best showcase for showing chasing graphics mean jack shit

>>713143597
Take a look at the console numbers. The Switch 2 has met 1/7th of of the PS5's lifetime sales in Japan. In 11 DAYS. Combine that with their limp software sales, ballooning budgets for first party titles, PC integration being nothing close to the hail mary they expected and hilariously bad licensing agreements for some games [Marvel takes anywhere from 25%-50% of all revenue on their projects] and Sony is sweating.

>>713143481
OR they make a Switch copycat that's docked with the power of a PS5 Pro but weaker in handheld mode. it'll still be 800+ though

>>713142329
pool hop 2 future GOTY winner

>>713143815
Something tells me that it's the last thing Sony wants to do, because it would be admitting that the Nintendo model of business was right all along. They will continue splurging money and chasing those high end graphics and the consumer will be the one suffering from it because there's no way a PS6 will be cheaper than the current consoles. And it will still be worse than building a PC. Sony has reached a dead end and instead of turning back and find another route, they'll slam their head onto the wall until they bleed out.

>>713143815
A handheld that has the ability to reach PS5 pro power is gonna cost more than $1000 if sold at a loss lmao. Guarantee there won't be backlash about such a price by the usual suspects

>>713143961
i can't imagine there's a lot of route left for Sony
maybe they could

or maybe
>extend the PS5 life for another 5 years as they try to make games for it.

No handheld can reach a PS5 pro. Even Sony is also using AI to upscale in their supposed new handheld. But because it's Sony AI upscaling will be ok even if it's a shitty AMD one.

>>713144230
The problem with the first solution is that Sony's studios are incapable of not making AAA games. That's why their entirety of the GaaS initiative failed, and even after buying Bungie they still failed horribly.

The face of a desperate man.

Nintendo switch 2 has nailed the coffin on Japanese game by fucking price and keycard when they are in peril in 2025 due to having kusoges only like MH wilds, Yumia, Nightreign, while in 2024, Japanese game was so strong according to metascore. But no Jap game with metascore over 90s this year..

They spent almost 2 decades brainwashing gamers into thinking the Playstation consoles are the peak in terms of power and graphics, going back on that would severely hurt their reputation, more than it already is. Granted, snoys are so delusional that they would still find ways to gaslight themselves into thinking Sony can do no wrong. The saddest part is that the only developer that would still mainly develop exclusives for the console is Naughty Dog, which was hijacked by Druckmann, so they will never beat the moviegame console allegations.

Mind you this is parallel to the entire sony japan branch growing increasingly hateful of SIE since the tail end of the PS2 era due to constantly asking for loans but all the money that SIE made stayed on SIE, so it wasn't all nasu, but goddamn it sure helped.

>>713139463
Honestly, I think Octopath Traveler was a success because Square-Enix wasn't trying to make a success, I think they were obliged by contract to do something, then the game was passed by a small team and barely overlooked by their bosses. What they didn't expect is that game selling 5m and being one of the few that turned out being one of their most profitable games during that period.

I think these days they have a different mentality over how to treat the IP, especially considering the second game was multiplatform since day 1, but I fear the franchise eventually falling into oblivion for not being PS oriented. I mean, look how bad they treated TWEWY.

>>713145021
Both MS and Sony already got fucked by Nvidia in some way.

>>713143130
>you can already expect it to be either an underpowered piece of shit that barely reaches the Switch 2's specs

Switch 2's chip is a custom ARM chip that Nvidia made for Nintendo after the Switch 1 partnership worked out. If Sony wanted to work with Nvidia they would have to start from zero. No BC, no engine continuity, and it would take years before the chip's design would be finished.
>>713145124
So did Nintendo technically. They wanted the Tegra K1 for 3DS, but Nvidia was incapable of delivering on the power/battery consumption front so they went with the Pica200.

>no more performance issues because hardware don't have any notable bottleneck or shit part
>no muh devkits because shit use Nvidia API, AKA, what EVERYONE use today for development

So, what going be the excuse as now.

>>713144904
>>sony is going to rush out the PS6 with no games at a $1000+ price point
you know what would be the funniest part of this? that it would make GoyTA6 not even an exclusive even with the massive asterisks of cope needed to pretend the xbone versions don't count

>>713145713
>>no muh devkits because shit use Nvidia API,
this has been the case since the switch 1 akshually

>>713145571
More than likely the latter, there's no way Sony is seriously considering publicly killing themselves

>>713142861
Did Kiwami get a physical release? How'd it do if so?

>>713145024
So from what I understand, even Sony itself hates SIE for being such a horrendous moneysink.

>>713145805
>there's no way Sony is seriously considering publicly killing themselves
They already killed themselves on their primary market (japan).
They already bought bungie for gorillions and got a money black hole for their troubles.
They already made concord.
What's another self-stab with a chainsaw?

Fuck, I was wondering what happened to the archive since 4chanX wasn't fetching stuff correctly. The domain is .dev now. But I can't seem to override the 4chanX script, and updating the archive list does nothing.

>>713145774
Switch actually got updated to support vulkan like a 6 months after release.

But point is that switch 2 have all modern features, gaytracing, DLSS yadda yadda, it's supported both by hardware and software, no magic mosaic algorithm or something.

>>713142329
I'm glad I stopped doing weekly updates on this page

>>713145994
>I was wondering what happened to the archive since 4chanX wasn't fetching stuff correctly
Snoys spammed the board with CP, then proceeded to report the archive in order to have it taken down so people wouldn't be able to search their retarded posts anymore.

>>713145893
yes, but not quite
since the ps1 era SIE has been a bunch of niggers acting like gooks and throwing their weight around even within the sony group to get away with whatever they want, especially ken kutaragi (look up the shit he did if you want a laugh), even the DVD functionality in the PS2 was done this way ignoring it would fuck over the music and hardware division sony aniplex had, and these bad habits only got even worse once SIE moved to trannyfornia
this however gets massively glossed over or completely ignored by most people, even people doing snoystation retrospectives

>>713145881
Kiwami is digital only, and it did well enough for the RGG stooges to publicly talk it up
>>713145904
All of those the media and masses can ignore, killing yourself by releasing a handheld that will fail horribly is impossible to sweep under the rug

Assuming Sony keeps the direction that is going, how many years (if they even get more than one) do they have until they abandon hardware altogether and go third party?

>>713145713
The excuse will be that their shitty key card games are not selling so that means nobody wants to buy their games and playstation is their home or something.

>>713146375
Their financial reports aren't looking great. Assuming they stay the course, then probably PS6 would be their final gen. But there is no reason to assume they haven't reached a critical point and are fundamentally reconsidering their business strategy. Their last State of Play was actually a step in the right direction.

>>713145303
Add Chris Dring lost

>>713146375
>>713146481
Eh isn't more likely for Microsoft to abandon hardware?

>>713146568
Both are fucked due their own business model. Nintendo warned everyone about current market decades ago.

>>713142879
True. It'd be more expensive especially if it's trying to be PS5 on the go. By the time it's release the Switch 2 will have a healthy library of games. That's not even including Nintendo releasing a Switch 2 lite (cheaper) and an OLED version. Nintendo will be more than fine.

>>713142694
If it's a legit handheld, fits in your pocket, system then 720p is absolutely fine and is way higher than I would expect, even today

>>713143659
Maybe they just wanted to pay with cash.

>>713147135
i wonder how sony fans would react to a smaller screen after calling the switch screen too small

>>713142879
I'm looking forward to it only because it will put down the argument that the Switch is only doing as well as it is because it's a handheld.

Sony will be lucky if the thing sells as much as the Switch 2 did at launch.

>>713147213
I would kill for something the size of the PS Vita but with more modern games

>>713147135
Problem is battery and heat, Switch have to put fans on both unit and dock, and deck is loud as shit.

Unless Sony magically got superconductors.

>>713147050
god, a 1k handheld PS5 on the go would definitely make more "what are you poor?" post

>>713147239
i don't think that's likely anymore unless they make it a PS3-PS4 level hardware

>>713147264
Idk, PS Vita was pretty close to the PS3 and that was like a decade ago, they could probably get something at a similar size at the PS4 range by now

>>713144230
They don't have enough studios to pull that off. Sony dropped Vita quickly in favor of making PS4 games and back then they had SCEJ which did the heavy lifting in making games for the platform. That studio is gone now.

>>713147135
>720p is fine
>when sony does it
Damn bro. Wow.

>>713147457
>If it's a legit handheld, fits in your pocket, system
Do you not know how screen sizes work, retardanon?

>>713147379
Switch 2 is PS4 level and its fucking huge.

>>713147379
Lol no.
Look at mortal Kombat and tell me that again.

>>713147526
>PS4 level
Switch 2 is way stronger than the PS4 lol

>>713147379
>PS Vita was pretty close to the PS3
Considering the huge difference between some games like Borderlands 2 or Uncharted? I wouldn't say they were close at all.

hmn looks like Sal Cuckmano is coping on Gematsu trying to spin the switch 2 third-party sale then got BTFO by someone posting Switch 2 3rd party sell debut actually better than PS5 debut

>>713147379
The Vita really hurts. If third parties actually supported it with original games, shit could have been great.

I'm not excited for that new handheld because it's obviously just gonna play PS5 games, which Sony already struggles with.

>>713147528
what the fuck, did it always look like this?

>>713146568
Microsoft is likely going to never truly abandon hardware, with both the SeS and the SeX being produced until the xbox brand as a whole goes belly up, taking half of microjeet with it.
Yes, they likely aren't making money off that hardware anymore, but the fact it gives them brand presence is good enough, especially when they don't have to manufacture that much hardware anymore either.

where did it all go wrong and where can we dilate and tell xirselves that tiddie games don't sell???????????

>>713147379
Vita used all sorts of smoke and mirrors, plus relatively low resolution.

Lot of games were bunch of corridors, same for PSP. Borderlands got ported and ran like absolute anus.

>>713147379
The vita is actually barely a PS2 pro, but with the magic of modern libraries and optimization it could easily punch above it's weight.

>>713147379
I imagine it'll be a digital-only mess of a handheld. There is no way Sony will be producing physical games for that system and the cynical justification will be to reduce manufacturing complexity and/or "DON'T YOU GUYS HAVE INTERNETS???". This alone means that it will flop hard in Japan. Also, the rumoured 720p screen means that they're going for a much smaller handheld, probably something in between a Vita and the Switch, but right now all that this communicates is how utterly unsure they are of this product, meaning that they aren't willing to commit to a beefier system. Smaller handhelds would be great news for handheld aficionados, but this entire project reeks of half-heartedness.

>>713147806
you weren't kidding

>>713147868
>means that they're going for a much smaller handheld, probably something in between a Vita and the Switch
what is even going to carry it?
first party snoy studios are too busy recovering from having to do GAAS slop or still trying to make some, and all third parties, even the most loyal ones, already fucking left
what do they even have anymore? motherfucking compile heart shitting out the nep trilogy for the goddamn gorillionth time given (even fanservice aside) they can't make otaku games anymore? marvelous FINALLY bringing back senran when qureate and inti (plus konami and plenty of other devs) already filled that power vacuum?

>>713147926
Looking like ass is fine, problem is that game run at cinematic framerate of 5-10 FPS in lot of scenarios.

Just read through the thread, what the fuck are you waffling about, this is the same fucking game where the ending show the protagonist of 2 marrying and knocking up his 3 wives, that's not even heteronormative that downright sacrilegious to the woke cult.

>>713147806
hey now, the warriors orochi 3 ultimate vita port is legitimately impressive
that fucking game already pushed the PS3 to it's limits, it's impressive it ran on the vita at all, even if it looked and ran like anus
same with the "remake" of NFS most wanted

>>713147828
it's so crazy how i remember PSP looking like a PS2 and a vita looking like a PS3
my mind is playing tricks on me

>>713148065
ever heard of a troyan horse tactic? even in AAA slop it started like this, still "based" like this but with some nuggets of wokeslop like the racemixing relationships
really though, the fact they very clearly paid the SBI extortion fee for this should have been the red flag

>>713145185
Yup, SE doesn't advertise their non-AAA games and Nintendo doing the heavy lifting for advertising Octopath Traveler was probably the biggest reason it sold as much as it did. Publishers really underestimate how much of a marketing boon it is for Nintendo to give a shit about something that's coming on its platforms nowadays.

>>713148010
Yep, that is definitely the second part of this entire mystery. Either Sony understands that exclusives sell systems or we're going to face a new Vita situation. It's just odd, anon. Nothing about the rumoured new Playstation Portable makes sense.

>>713148168
Anon not even shit like rune factory have harem ending and this is an official first party published game by Nintendo of all people, think about it a little. I don't fucking remembered any mainstream jrpg game having this this in their game, it would scared away the normalfag while getting lit up by journos calling it "pandering to incel".

>>713148010
>>713148194
Make it strong enough to play at least up to PS3 and some PS4 games (namely P5R), and add all those games to its digital market, add PS5 and PS6 remote play, and call it the "PlayStation Mobile"

>>713147379
Better hardware means more heat and power draw. Yes your phone can play shit at 4k res and all the jazz but comes at cost of draining battery in 10 minutes and/or getting dangerously hot.

Sony can opt for something like silicon-carbon batteries for better bang with performance similar to Deck/Switch 2, but that comes with a massive extra cost.

>>713147379
Vita couldn't even run the fucking ps2 god of war games

>>713148292
>sony bringing back their PS3 IPs
god, i would buy one just to show them that they need to make a new motorstorm game

>>713148194
They could be banking on advertising it as a portable machine that plays the entire PS catalogue. 'All of playstation's history in your pocket' or something. Would still be hard sell at the price they'll likely ask for, but maybe they'll go all in on the nostalgia angle.

>>713147602
Hope someone posts Piscatella's comments

>>713148292
There is literally zero chance that Sony will market a handheld system that is substantially weaker than what Nintendo is marketing. Especially not when there is a Switch 2 Lite in the horizon. A PS3 target would be absolutely unacceptable.

>>713148449
this one?

>>713148479
They can't compete in the same market as the switch, they will lose, like how Nintendo would lose if it went balls deep into the home console market

>>713148479
as other anons have stated, NuSnoys would not buy a graphically subpar system, but old school Snoys (like me) would buy it

>>713148065
I still remember how this picture made the Pyra/Mythra's english VA seethe to no end kek. Good times. She was even replaced later in future redeemed for someone that sounds very close to her to voice Glimmer while in Japanese was still the Pyra VA it seems.

>>713148572
While I do agree that is definitely true for Sony, I genuinely do wonder if that argument truly holds for Nintendo at this point in time.

>PS5 and presumedly PS6 will play everything from PS4 and on
It's kinda the obvious choice to make a dedicated system for everything before the PS4, and since it's way less demanding you could easily make it handheld and market it for nostalgia and a wink wink nudge nudge on if certain franchises do well they might come back

>>713148524
So basically Dring made some shitty post about 3rd party sales on Switch 2 but Mat told him "lol no"

>>713148604

>>713148280
Skies of Arcadia. Although "mainstream" is questionable.

>>713148604
The thing is that old school snoys were always a minority and Sony knows this. Why do you think they keep pushing out the cinematic abortions their studios constantly work on?

>>713148753
the only place right now that allows multiple wives are those filled with sandniggers

>>713148065

lol i love that bringing up the Switch 1, which is a massive success, basically shut the grifters down

Nintendo could easily make an uber strong home console onlyt and do well.
But why?
The portablity+home console mix was alkways the best solution for them. Merge their two major division, increase game out put, the device is *strong enough* to keep most 3rd parties, plus keeps dev budgets low.

>>713149084
Rex is a jew?

You'll be more effective.

Gonna kill all your hopes and dreams, that studio doesn't exist anymore.
Half of it got laid off and thrown out to the streets after being in the drive club grinder, the other half got absorbed into criterion, which in turn got thrown into the battlefield mines.

Nintendo worked on past 20 years or so to build independence from third parties, they bought fair amount of middleware and poached assload of talent when possible.

3ds Wiiu showcased they can't support two different divisions, not mention that hardware got good enough for big games just fine. Switch is basically result of whole thing.

>>713149240
guess i'll just kill myself then

>>713148604
>but old school Snoys (like me) would buy it
I would absolutely fucking not after their backstabbing.
The only way I would CONSIDER it is if they move the HQ back to japan and literally every single non-japanese person working at the company gets laid off, filling the seats with japanese people.
And even I would only consider it after seeing their policies going forward.

>>713149324
I can't comment on a meme? And the reactions I see from said meme online? The fuck kind of gatekeeping is this?

I really hope Nintendo focuses on updating their first party games to run at 1080p in handheld, cause Jesus Christ man

>>713149649
I would take the same resolution but actually taking advantage of that high hz screen.

>>713149271
Don't worry it's not deep, it's evangelion-tier of symbolism

>>713149732
I'm okay with 30fps, but they need to be in 1080p

>>713149649
I have a feeling the generation will be filled with them randomly releasing updates for their first party games be they paid Switch 2 editions or free like pokemon. Might be a monthly event sort of deal.

>>713149965
3 hopes feels like it got a full on update, it feels amazing on switch 2
But yeah, I really really hope they do

>>713149965
they're doing some behind the scenes stuff right now just to make games compatible, like pikmin 3. Once they finish that, then they'll be on update duties

>>713150186
They need monolith to push out the Xenoblade patches asap
Xenoblade 2 handheld on switch 2 is awwwwwful

>>713150216
Nintendo need to leave Monolith soft alone, they're making them do EVERYTHING. they can't have a moment to make xenoblade shit

>>713150216
It's very likely that Nintendo will milk the Switch 2 Editions, and the entire gimmick of S2E isn't that they're simple patches but also higher resolution textures and other tweaks, probably also an added new feature or two. I'm definitely betting on Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch 2 Edition having a smartphone GPS map like Breath of the Wild.

>>713150307
We literally know patches for X and 3 are coming out

>>713150307
They're a very large studio, they can spare some manpower for critical operations from time to time. And it only brings them prestige to be consistently associated with the development of the biggest Nintendo titles.

>>713150428
There hasn't been anything about 3 getting one and even X isn't officially confirmed.

>>713150592
3 was officially confirmed and X has code for 60fps in the data

>>713150307
They literally have a dedicated support team/section for assisting on other games.
And it got a massive boost post BotW, as did their main dev segment.
Xenoblade will be fine stop worrying.

>>713150623
Unless they announced something in the last day or two, 3 got a compatibility patch and nothing else and like I said X still hasn't been officially confirmed yet so it could still be months away.
