IT'S OVER

>What you want: Bloodborne PC
>What you will get: The Last of Us on Switch 2

Has been for years, lil bro.

So Nintendo won the console wars I guess?

>>716462641 (OP)
Why are you up at 3AM, anon?

>>716462865
You think that's the clock?
It's 7am.

>>716462794
PC always wins baby.

>>716462794
>all third parties will return to Nintendo
>all third parties will start optimizing for Steam Deck and PCs
Feels so good that Nintendo and Valve won.

Imagine if Astrobot goes on Switch 2 an actually sells better on there. Would you seethe if you saw that happen?

>gaylo and queers of war on ps
>gow and whatever other onions shit they have on xbox
>and also it's all on pc
Genuinely, how will console warriors cope?

>>716463652
a-a-a PlayStation console sales, um...G-GAME PASS, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Basically, that, lol

>>716462847
SEA poster?

>>716462641 (OP)

Nintendo has been the MARKET LEADER since 2017. This PROVES IT. Both Microsoft and Sony are sucking Nintendo's cock, while Nintendo says, NO MARIO OR ZELDA for you.

>>716463574

AstroFLOP on Switch 2 will sell less than Lego Horizon.

How is it over?

>>716463974
No, go look for your cousin somewhere else.

Nintendo and Valve won

>>716464338
Playstation gave up.

>>716463574
I'm sure astrobot will sell a lot better on switch because tendies love their platformers

>>716462847
Yes

>>716462847
>make an expensive toy with high quality proprietary games
>people buy it
>make a cheap PC that can only play games but then dont put any games on it
>nobody buys it

The other two sudoku'd before the fight was even done.

Namco was already starting to bring Sony's Japanese IPs to multiplatform systems since Freedom Wars

>The leak was right
Lmao how snoys will cope?

>>716462641 (OP)
>>716462847
Sony won. They've expanded their empire to every console. This is an Xbox? No, this is a Playstation.

>>716463268
Won what? The biggest slop eater award?

>>716464687
What leak?

fingers crossed for Ape Escape, PaRappa, Mister Mosquito, Devil Dice, Loco Roco, and Jumping Flash to be remastered or ported over to the multiplatform consoles.

>>716462847
And that's why they went full mask off with Switch 2. Bricking your console is insane.

>>716464468
It's still the only gaming company with 31 billion in annual revenue

>>716462641 (OP)
>Zero exclusives on the PS6 before it's even announced
We live in the funniest timeline

>>716464957
the PS6 wouldn't have any exclusives anyway, they're all going to be crossgen with PS5

>>716464898
And 0 in profit lmao

>>716464838
>Bricking your console is insane
Source?

>>716465271
It's one of the Nintendoomed copes they've been screaming at people since April 2nd. In other words, something completely false

>>716464792
My guess is the patepon remaster was the testing grounds, so if that does well they may go for the others once proved viable

>>716465174
uhh based? Sony is giving supreme value to their customers

>>716462641 (OP)
Can we get Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection on PC and Xbox?

>>716464730
that's consoles
nothing but aaa slop, the worst kind of slop

>>716464182
>Nintendo has been the MARKET LEADER since 2017
No they haven't, they're not in the same market as Playstation and Xbox by Sony's definition of the console market as given during the Microsoft v. FTC court hearings.

>>716462641 (OP)
Tell them to start with these

>>716464773
The one of the upcoming Sony games coming to series s/X

>>716465890
The same court case where the judge stated that Nintendo is in fact competition and to suck on it because CoD won't save them anyway. Truly a crazy thing to witness

>>716465271
>Use a piracy device on Switch 2
>Switch 2 detects this and removes your ability to use any internet features entirely (online play, Nintendo classics, eshop, signing into your account, etc.)
>GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS NINTENDO IS LITERALLY BRICKING CONSOLES FOR LITERALLY PLAYING YOUR LITERALLY LEGAL BACKUPS USING A COMPLETELY VALID SOLUTION THIS IS LITERALLY ANTI LITERALLY CONSUMER

>>716462847
More like Xbox and Playstation lost via unforced errors.

Hmmm

>>716465026
and PS4

>>716467032
jeet?

>>716467110
Nuts

I would pay good money to see Gravity Rush 1 and 2 on PC

>>716467547
The only window those games can release is when that retarded live-action movie comes out or whatever. If it doesn't come out when that movie comes out then it's over.

>>716465912
Fuck that

>>716462847
Ninendo won the console wars almost a decade ago

>>716468005
>The Switch is 8 fucking years old
Where does the time go?

>>716462791
What the fuck? I want The Last of Us Part II Remastered Deluxe Definitive Edition

It's true, all of it.

>>716462847
>So Nintendo won the console wars I guess?
It's more of a case that Sony is losing interest in having a closed ecosystem. They make loads of money from online subscriptions, and likely loads of money from their multi-platform 1st party games they've been trying out.

Also, the console wars died years ago when mobile gaming came on the scene because there's no longer one platform fighting for a complete monopoly of the consumer userbase. Most people today have multiple systems and play specific games on them. The last true console war was probably 7th gen.

Why would anyone get a PlayStation or Xbox after this, lol?

Dear PC cucks:

GTA VI

Remember the pattern:
>PS2: Won
>PS3: Lost
>PS4: Won
>PS5: Lost
>PS6: _ _ _

>>716468698
>pattern

>>716463268
bitch please explain what exactly we "won"? shit skins playing CS2?

>>716468698
>patterns
Chinese dota bros....

>>716466141
lmao so people are freaking out over "bricking" that just turns your console into a 20th century device??? KEK

>>716468504
If it was someone going to bat for Nintendo like this under the same circumstances, it would be part of a coping compilation screenshot

>>716468595
GTA4 and V sucked
Why would this one any different? It's coming out on PC in 2 years or less anyway.

>>716468005
retard

>>716468861
We get all the games.

turns out taking over 5 years to make one single game because it had to look nice wasn't a good idea, who knew? maybe if they had just focused on making games besides cinematic realistic shooters/beat em ups they might've stuck around a bit longer

>>716468553
>i'll rather play on a machine made to fill excel sheets because for the price of 5-10 consoles I can totally get 30 more frames per second while hawing to wrangle drivers and shitty window updates
>also let's not forget the FREE multiplayer full of cheaters, russians huehues and other 3rd worlders which is totally my idea of enjoying gaming with other people
lel PC faggots sure are delusional

>>716466141
I hate that they're calling it "bricking" but I guess they need something to complain about even if it means they have to make shit up

Enjoy my sloppy seconds.

>>716468250
That might be a bit too violent and bloody for Nintendo. They'll gladly take astrobot though.

>>716469586
I won't even pirate that slop
Enjoy your trash consolecuck!

>>716469704
Cope.
GTA games are always best selling and critically acclaimed for a reason. Be a contrarian all you want, it doesn't change the facts. (We all know you're going to buy it.)

>>716462641 (OP)
Damn, easiest job ever. People get paid to do this? I've already personally ported every single worthwhile Playstation game to Switch 2. I'll take my check Sony, thanks.

>>716469829
>GTA games are always best selling and critically acclaimed for a reason.
Because they're easily accessible slop that all browns in the USA and Europe buy to pretend they aren't the governments bitch.
That means investment back guaranteed along with plenty of consoles sold, all business, no soul.
>We all know you're going to buy it
I bought 4 and I hated it
I pirated V and I hated it

Not even pirating this shit

>>716469263
Steam Deck 2 will exist, anon

>>716462641 (OP)
>>716462847
Feels good to be a Bing-bro.

They could branch out and permit VR to work with their exclusives beyond their native VR platform. Otherwise just putting their exclusives on other platforms would make them money too, yeah. Would be good PR for them to break from exclusivity anyway.

>>716470185
Why would it be good PR exactly? To me it just lowers the value of their console.

>>716470659
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING I'M IN CHARGE HERE!!!!

>>716462641 (OP)
What games? Genuinely, what PlayStation exclusive games exist?

>>716471518

Yes, Sony good, Cucktendo shit.

>>716472060
They're both shit!

>>716472218
But enough about steamcucks and their toasters

>>716472405
I'm a piratechad with an RTX 4090 and I only play Half Life 2 mods.

I hate how Sony and Microsoft took many games away from Nintendo and PC for PlayStation and Xbox when they first came in. This is karma for ruining the video game industry for many years.

>>716472764
It was inevitable, none of this shit was sustainable in the slightest just retards trying to one upping themselves ala Hollywood (also dying) and now with stupidly bloated budgets to the point they fired all their talent and hired tons of pajeets, they can't even make "good gwaphics".

>>716465787
As opposed to the indie slop proliferating the Steam storepage?

>>716472764
PC was a non-entity for gaming because most people didn't have home computers back in the late 90's/early 00's. What in the fuck are you talking about to make such a bold claim.

>someone to assist
That fuck does this mean? Can I do this job?

>>716473228
My GPU alone costs more than your car consolepoor/
And I'll still only use it to play 30 year old games

>>716469296
yeah, saying "bricked console" sounds way more threatening than "online ban", the latter which by the way, every single one of the big 3 have been doing since online became commonplace on consoles way back with the original xbox

>>716473396
HOLY SHIT THEY CAN... BAN YOU IF YOU CHEAT BY HACKING???? HOW FUCKING DARE THEY!!!!!

why would this be a bad thing?

>>716468698
PS1!?

>>716473908

Because Playstation fans aren't so much interested in games as they are the concept of Playstation itself. Going "virtual" like this could potentially rob them of a physical totem to worship, i.e. a PS6.

>>716473852
>Makes console unusable
>THIS IS FINE OK? NINTENDO DID IT SO IT'S FINE!!!!

>>716474016
Snoys don't care about the games, they just want a "sociocultural" event much like every AAA faggot.

>>716462847
it's more like xbox pivoted to publisher wars and that threw sony for a loop, and now sony's shareholders probably want them to take publishing games more seriously

selling hardware is nice but it's not scalable like selling software in as many places as you possibly can

>>716462794
lmao
>STEAM: 15 million copies!
>Xbox: 10 million PLAYERS!
its fucking game pass subscribers. i doubt any of them own a series L

also the game wasnt even sold on playstation so

>>716473908
It’s bad for snoys because what reason would anyone want to buy a ps5 for? To attract cockroaches?

>>716474060
>>Makes console unusable
please describe how exactly it makes it unusable.

>>716474238
Nintendo isn't powerful enough to run real games like GTA.

>>716474238
I feel like the only reason now is cheaper physical media. And arguably better physical media support but that's probably going to be in heavy jeopardy by PS6.

Call me when Demon Souls and Bloodborne hit PC

>>716474268
Switch already runs 3 of them, try again

>>716462641 (OP)
that strategy worked very well for XBOX

>>716474268
Wii U probably could've gotten GTA V when it came out but it didn't since fucking bombed. In fact, I would argue that all of Rockstars games except for RDR2 could easily run on switch 1.

>>716474060
You can still play games after getting console banned, retard

>inb4 “I was just pretending to be retarded lolz”

>>716474268
The switch 1&2 can pretty much run all of the GTA games that matter. You can keep your lgbtqia+ movie game

>>716474314
It runs the agreed upon worst versions of all time of 3 over 20 year old GTA games. It needs to get GTA VI.

Just gimme Bloodborne and Gravity Rush 1+2 on Switch 2.

I'm a Nintendofag
I DON'T want a monopoly

>>716474647
Im surprised that rockstar isn't just totally embarrassed and ashamed that SOME FUCKING HOW saints row 3 plays and runs better and just overall higher quality.

>>716474787
If you identify yourself like a corporationfag what you want or do not want does not matter at all.

>>716474787
I mean I don't want one also, but please tell what strategy can other companies even do to even get close to Nintendo? I can only really think of sega and atari having a shot.

Idk maybe an Apple console could work in the sense that it would be ultra shit but popular enough to get some market share at least and doesn't end up as pussy console flop.

>>716473292
That's just a single game and not representative of the gaming industry.

It’s funny to see steam trannies defending the idea of the console war just so they can insert themselves into it

>hurr this product isn’t worth having if I don’t get access to toys you don’t have
Actual autism

Man, MCC and Hi Fi Rush are gonna be comfy af on Switch 2

I just hope they're not too big since I barely have any space left

>>716474963
They also dropped PCs and declared it a dead platform almost killing it until Valve saved it.

>>716474886
The power gap means that Nintendo will always lose out on some heavy hitters that'll ensure at least one other console survives.

>>716464702
That’s an insane cope. PlayStation turning third party publisher is a massive step down. By that logic Sega won the console war.

>best selling game right now for this year is fucking fortza 5
>retards still spreging out that ports are a bad thing

>New LittleBigPlanet is made
>It gets on Switch 2
>Mario exclusive costume
I mean given Nintendo's fit over Fortnite wanting Samus visible across all platforms, I doubt it lol

>>716475253
There is no longer a power gap, 8th generation was the last generation.

>>716462641 (OP)
There is nothing wrong with this, exclusives are a cancer upon vidya. Sony is doing the right thing.

>>716469263
any device that can't run a spreadsheet is worthless to me

>Actually, multiplatform games are bad
do tendies really?

All 0 Games?

>>716474886
>>>Sega
Nintendo dwarfed Sega even back when they were still in the console business. Imagine now.

>>716475685
yeah i will admit, it's really just wishful thinking on my part.

>>716462641 (OP)
nobody cares for their hypercensored slop

>>716475179
PC was never relevant to gaming until Valve made it attractive. I remember the old days on gaming forums where indie devs were making games to capitalize on for the first time. That was a unique selling point of Steam over consoles, and it was in a time where the big gaming companies were chasing the first person shooter craze.

>>716475387
>There is no longer a power gap
The gap is very much still there. At best you can expect cloud versions of heavier PS5/Series X games.

>>716462847
People like to make fun of nintendo but they never stopped focusing on games. All of their gimmicks were about being able to play games in novel ways.
Microsoft went all in on being some entertainment hub, bought up a bunch of studios, and made zero fucking games
Sony went all in on live services and "cinematic experiences" that really wish they weren't video games and got more respect

>>716468000
You can already play Jak 1 and 2 on PC

>>716468504
>They make loads of money from online subscriptions, and likely loads of money from their multi-platform 1st party games they've been trying out.
Nevermind the fact that the majority of their revenue comes from getting a 30% cut on MTX, DLC and game sales.
>>716473336
Not beating the poorfag Brazilian who spent his entire annual salary on a GPU and has to pirate games allegations

>>716476103
>Nevermind the fact that the majority of their revenue comes from getting a 30% cut on MTX, DLC and game sales
Exactly. The console war is long dead because console makers have shifted towards these new revenue systems.

PCBRAHMINS watching the bickering of walled garden console dalits as always.

>>716475750
PC was relevant and then Microsoft started killing it.

>>716464685
>>716464792
Patapon remaster on PS5 couldn't even break 1500 units to chart in top 30 while it charted on Switch.
Sony is painfully aware the people who bought those games 30-20 years aren't on Playstation anymore

>>716470659
>>716471862
I really hope Sony puts their games on Switch and they all bomb horribly (like Lego Horizon) because Switchfags have higher standards than Sony slop

>>716476390
>PC was relevant and then Microsoft started killing it
Not in comparison to consoles. PC was a very specific niche with games like Wolfenstein/Doom/Quake. RTS games were on other home computer platforms like the Amiga and Atari ST. Outside of the shooters, there was nothing of note on PC until emulators became a thing. You need to stop pretending that the PC platform was gimped when it has been growing since Steam made PC gaming appealing.

>>716476103
>>716476349
So what happens when I can play Genshin and Spider-Man 2 on Switch 2? Why would I buy a PS5 and invest in Sony's ecosystem?

>>716476928
Sony is currently experimenting with these new revenue systems. You're asking questions to things that have no answers right now.

>>716462641 (OP)
Lol nintendo is going to be next everyone bends over for pc at some point its just about when for the big N

>>716462641 (OP)
Meh, Sony will only port kiddie shit like Lego Horizon or Patapon to the switch. It's not like they will port over their biggest AAA bestsellers. Sony will prfit off of tendies while providing nothing of value. Sony won.

>>716476928
Genshin will NEVER be on shitch 2

>>716476928
You won't be able to play GTA VI.

bloodborne will be the last game ported

>>716475861
Nigga the wii was there purely to appeal to soccer moms, not because it made gaming more interesting. Wii sports fucking sucked.

>>716477103
Good. No one cares about hoyoslop

Jim Ryan and his consequences have been a disaster for the Snoy race.
The Sony collapse just never fucking ends.
I bought a fucking Vita but I still, can't justify getting a ps5 5 years in. Astrobot is literally the only game on there that I give a shit about and the system is currently now more expensive in Australia than when it first launched.
A console with no exclusives has no reason to exist.

>>716476990

They're not financially incompetent like Xbox and Playstation, so why would they even need to? Wishful thinking.

>>716476813
Massive delusion, for many reasons but not because Nintendofags have higher standards.

Nintendofags don't have higher standards, otherwise the "pay our service to use the internet you already paid" would have bombed.

Nintendofags are consoletards at the end of the day just like Playstationfags and Xboxfags.

NINTENDO WON

Is this gonna make rosterfagging even worse?

Real talk, can you even use headphones/earphones with consoles? Every time I played cross platform games consolefags were always on speakers, how can you immerse yourself in games with shitty speakers?

>>716476739
>>716464685
It was kind of jarring not only see Bamco successfully port these games to the Switch but also how a lot of people are just....fine with it
Even diehard PlayStation fans (who like Japan Studio stuff) are just happy seeing them back

>>716462847
>nintendo won a fight they themselves chose to remove themselves from after the gamecube
It'd be more accurate to say the other two killed themselves in their own confusion. Especially MS.

>>716477856
Y-Yamauchi-dono...

>>716477945
yes, now there's the entire catalog of sony IPs that people want to appear in smash. playstation all star might live on in smash.

>>716478014
So they won.

>>716478091
I don't deny that they won. Just that they did it in the funniest way possible

It's going to be great once sony stops supporting ps5 and people figure out blow to jailbreak that sum bitch

>>716477987

They'll be the PS1/2-era fans who had actual games to play - the ones who are pissed off are the cultists who drank deep on the PS3-era turbocharged arrogance and dudebro audience-chasing, which mostly alienated the former group

Any besides MLB the Show?

>>716462847
based yidtendo

>>716479179
Even with MLB The Show that was on MLB because when they saw switch’s success they demanded sony put it on there or else they’d stop working with them outright

>>716478159
I wouldn't call making video games people want to play "doing nothing".
It's the only thing that matters and what Sony and MS failed to do

>>716479913
They haven''t made a game people wanted to play since 2015. The entire Switch era has been them coasting on name value. Nobody played BotW because it was a good game, they played BotW because OoT was good 25 years ago.

>>716463396
>all third parties will return to Nintendo
Maybe when Nintendo stops making fisher price tablets

>>716479913
they technically did nothing but made videogames. and it worked.

>>716477987
It makes sense honestly. Anybody that likes those kinds of games knows that Sony will never cater to them again and studios know that modern Playstation fans just don't care for those games, so bringing them to other platforms is the best possible thing to do for them. I hope we get some more ports down the line. A Gravity Rush 1+2 port for Switch or PC would be great.

>>716480058
What a sad, sad cope

at this point sony's just a hardware company. they haven't made any good games in years. just join up with nintendo already.

>>716462847
More like the console war just petered out into a wet fart and PC won by doing absolutely nothing. Mobile too, if you want to count that shit.
Nintendo is always a generation behind. Consoles are not long for this world.

>>716480865
They always were a hardware company. PS1 and PS2 were almost entirely propped up by third parties.

>>716480917
Games still sell more on console and GPU prices aren't going down any time soon.

>>716468861
>we
Nice try consolepleb

>>716480963
>Games still sell more on console
No they don't.
And you can get a GPU that blows a ps5 out of the water for like $350.

>>716481114
No that'll only get you a 4060 or 3070 which won't even play GTA 6 at a steady 30.

>>716480963
The best chance for PC winning was in the 7th generation when consoles were selling at their lowest and were expensive

>>716464838
retard

>>716481216
And game companies were too concerned about piracy to even release games on PC. If they Denuvo back then, sure.

>>716462847
SAME AS IT EVER WAS

It's less nintendo winning than macroshart and snoy shooting themselves in the foot

The S2 is like a glorified 1050. The PS5 is like a 2070-3060 at absolute best.

>steam trannies think they're part of the console war

actual retards

>>716462641 (OP)
The only people who think this is a bad thing are console warriors. Nobody but them care about exclusives. I play on PS5 cause it's simply the best place to play games on. Most of my multiplats are played on PS5 and they will continue to be played on PS5 so long as it remains the place with the best ports of multiplat games which for the past 5 years, it has been.

At this point why does Sony not just make their own PC storefront? Surely that would be more beneficial for them compared to putting their games on Steam?

>>716482160
Piracy, that's why. Playstation is a secure platform, PC is full of the worst hackers.

They're still winning, they just need to keep winning. Switch 2 has been a failure so far.
>>716482548
Not PS4 or PS5. Not online which Sony cares about.

>>716482160
Because it worked so well for EA, Ubisoft, Epic, etc.

>>716475943
you can play all of greek gow games too

>>716482621
Sony has more games to offer than EA, Ubisoft and Epic. It would also be nice to be able to sync your PSN trophies with PC versions of games which you can't do on Steam.

>>716482614

How about that Switch 2 emulator Er*c? Contributed to the Patreon yet?

>>716462847
The moment Switch 2 gets the main version of Madden, FIFA and COD is when I will consider the "war" over.
And I believe it will happen soon.

>>716482735
Switch 2 will never be emulated, the encryption is great and most of the major devs for Yuzu/Ryujinx are in jail, that's why it's the first Nintendo platform that Sony is fine with having their games on.

>>716482887
Die on their own swinging at ghosts because they can't compete with PC or mobile and will inevitably go the same route sony and microcock did.

It really is amazing how Xbox and Playstation are killing themselves by their own stupidity.

Good job retards.

>>716462847
The optimal play for the longest time has been PC + Nintendo if you really wanted a console.
Even then you could just be running an Emulator on your PC, especially now Steam Decks exist.

>>716483192
I always love how you moron's suggestions for how these platforms should improve themselves is to double down on exclusivity, the most anti-consumer practice in the industry. Imagine being such a spineless bootlicker that you need to BEG to be fucked in the ass more. Kill yourself.

>>716483192
Still better than Nintendo selling $90 for overpriced tablet games and bricking consoles on a whim and not letting you own your games.

Consoleniggers are like that.

>releasing their games on PC and Nintendo as time goes on
Nobody is releasing third party games on Nintendo's underpowered tablets lil bro. They don't sell, and the underpowered hardware can't run anything above turn based low fidelity jarpigs. Nintendo's audience are Disney adults, they only want corporate Nintendo products, that's what they buy the hardware for.

>>716462847
Nobody won, you're watching the collapse of the whole gaming market.

>>716483276
The worst thing is that these fucking retards have 0% business sense. They don't understand how the fuck this capitalist world works. They don't get the constant need for growth. They just don't get it. They refuse to understand that the console market isn't growing that much anymore if at all.

Imagine for a second if Sony didn't release Stellar Blade on PC, because some fucking emotional fanboy retard on this place told them to. Stellar Blade sold 1 million copies in 3 fucking days on PC. PC players aren't going to buy your console, no matter how many exclusives it has. And if they buy your console to play 1 game the entire generation, then you're not a customer.

>>716483595

Don't be so fucking dramatic

>n-no nintendo is w-winning by making less money by locking their games down and not selling third-party games
you children are fucking mental

Nintendo literally took on the whole industry and RAPED them into submission. Even the Steam Deck BOMBED and the Switch 2 already outsold it. I bet you behind the scenes Valve is, or at one point, begged Nintendo to put Steam on Switch and Nintendo said the Valve, FUCK OFF.

>>716483339
They are. Many 3rd party games sell the best on Switch. Especially RPGs.

Fun fact: MH Rise sold more units on Switch in 5 days than Wilds did on PS5 and Xbox combined in a month

>>716482887
$80 games, thank you Nintendo.

>>716481364
EA? Should that not be sega?

>>716483679
Nintendo didn't take on anyone. In fact they actively avoided it. They just sat in the corner and did their own thing and make no mistake. Nintendo isn't winning. They're just coaxing by, the Switch 2 is not a success compared to the Switch 1, Nintendo has not grown at all. It just looks like Nintendo won because Sony and Microsoft flew too close to the sun, that sun being PC and they couldn't compete with it. Nintendo avoided coming close to PC cause they're terrified of stepping onto the same market hence why they stamp out all emulation.

>>716483276
>Exclusives are LE BAD!
Exclusives are a result of competition, and competition brings the necessity to create quality content to sell your product among the others.
Many if not most of the best games, or sagas, up until now, have been a result of exclusivity, competition.
The moment you don't need to make something good enough to sell a whole machine, that's when the decadency starts, like we have seen for the past years. Ask yourself why Xbox and Playstation only release garbage now and prefer services.

>>716468698
Considering that the Switch 2 is selling faster than the first, I doubt the PS6 will be able to top that

>>716483695
>Fun fact: MH Rise sold more units on Switch in 5 days than Wilds did on PS5 and Xbox combined in a month
We can all lie anon

>>716483276
>exclusives are good
>meanwhile Epic Game Store has the most PC exclusives and yet nobody is moving to it despite it being free to download another launcher
>somehow exclusives will cause people to spend $500 on another set of consoles and games when you cant get people to move to a different launcher

The days of exclusives are over and any moron who keeps talking about it are the same ones who keep saying EGS will kill Steam.

>I bet you behind the scenes Valve is, or at one point, begged Nintendo to put Steam on Switch
meds immediately

Remember when SONY said that "Console sales dont matter" its all about "MAU". Sony knows they are going to kill their own console sales by going multiplatform just like Xbox.

>>716483192
>Keep ballooning projects economically because you made your brand out of high quality realistic graphics and cinematic slop
The most absurd thing about this is that Iwata warned the entire industry about the danger of diminishing returns on graphics and increasing budgets. All they had to do was listen.

>>716483679
>Even the Steam Deck BOMBED
How the fuck did the Steam Deck bomb? What the fuck am I reading on this board? It has been a massive success. It sold millions of copies even though it had no real marketing. It introduced a new concept device that has gotten popular. The Steam Deck was extremely innovative to get actual PC games running on a handheld. The future looks very bright for PC gaming on handhelds, especially now that AMD is getting better at creating these mobile chips.

>>716483192
To be fair to that anon, he did not mention exclusivity, but yes, most consoeplebs just fellate exclusives and think that anti-consumer bullshit is what makes them special for buying into a particular drm box. Games need to compete with each other, not drm box hardware competing on who can take the most/best games hostage to force people into those shitty ecosystems. Console makers know their users are dumb and have zero control, that's why they all fuck their consumers in the ass so hard.

>>716480943
Sony during the PS1/2 era was also just a hardware company before becoming entertainment focused and it’s as much relied on third parties now with the ps5
as it was during that time stupid nigger
>>716481802
90% of Steam users have worse PCs than the original PS5. Don’t pretend like PC isn’t the platform for chinks, slavoids and Brazilians to play CS2 and live service slop on their GTX 1060s

>>716483913
Your average exclusive on PS5/Xbox/PC is better than the best bing bing wahoo game Nintendo has shat out. You'd need to pay me to play the boring snooze fest that is Breath of the Wild. You only THINK Nintendo exclusives are better becuase you're a mindless Nintendo fanboy who has zero organic opinions and thinks only in brand loyalty. See what >>716483956 said. The success of Nintendo has nothing to do with quality exclusives. It's just pure brand loyalty. They've developed a cult fandom who accept anything they shit down their throat and honestly that is the most impressive thing of all.

Delusion wont help you anymore. Nintendo was always the market leader. Sony has gone third party like XFLOP. DEAL WITH IT nigger.

>>716483339
The total of third-party sales on Switch surpass the amount of first-party sales on the same system. It's been almost a decade that Nintendo stopped being a console where you just buy Nintendo games, it's been slow and progressive but we're currently seeing the end results now. Persona, From Software, Red Dead, Earth Defense Force, Disgaea, Atelier, Ys, Legend of Heroes, Ace Combat, Yakuza, etc. all the third-parties that were synononymous with the Playstation brand are more a Nintendo thing now.

>>716484063

>>716483612
Yes, and they brought that down upon themselves.
All what you are talking about is just a short term vision.
If they keep favoring PC and Nintendo all that will create is less people buying their console and their services, which is what will happen, and as a a result, the whole division will fall off at medium-long term.
Many people have moved to PC, myself included, because I just don't need them anymore, and this will only keep getting worse for them which are feeding this behaviour.
Ask yourself how this will help them grow.

>>716484071

3 million. That's N-Gage numbers. Even the massive flop called Poketstation outsold the Steam Deck. The other PC handhelds even sold WORSE. Dont be surprised when a news story breaks that valve cancelled the Steam Deck 2. EVERYBODY lost against Nintendo because Nintendo is the only one who knows what they are doing.

Exclusives get most of their sales in the first 1-2 years. Sony does not need to release all their games day 1, they can just wait a few years before putting it on other platforms and reap the benefits of new gamers buying their games. We know that timed exclusives work based off all our previous data without any of the downsides you mentioned.

>>716485061
If Microsoft didn’t give up on the hardware division they would release a mid gen refresh like the one X and still pride themselves on power, or at the very least a slim revision. Or you know do the bare minimum and not advertise and signal to everyone that Xbox is essentially everything and nothing at the same time as long as it runs MSFT games

>>716484680
Yeah let’s ignore the fact you're ignoring the point to deflect to hardware as if that matters.

>>716484286
>Yeah 2 or 3
So? Was Steam planning on selling 50 or a 100 million of these devices? Were they going to do that with no marketing whatsoever? The only "marketing" that I ever saw was that I occasionally saw an ad for it on the homepage of Steam for a few months. You know their own platform that they own. I never saw an ad outside of Steam for the Deck that was made by Steam. Never saw an ad on TV. Never saw it in physical stores ever. The fact that they sold a couple of million devices for what is effectively still a beta product (Steam OS is still very much in development) is actually really impressive. I know for a fact that it's impressive, because major hardware brands are literally making dozens of them from ASUS, MSI to Lenovo to now even Microsoft getting into this market.
>Handheld PC already existed
So? Were they EVER as mainstream as when the Deck was released? I see PC handheld videos every day now. I see developments being made in this industry every day now. It's not about who is first, it's about who does it the best.
>>The Steam Deck was extremely innovative
>lmao
Yeah, it was EXTREMELY innovative. In fact, as someone who is not really interested in these PC handheld devices (yet), it is a device and a market that I closely follow as a desktop PC gamer. Why? Because they've elevated Linux with Proton to become an actual competitor to the behemoth that is fucking Microsoft Windows from a PC gamer perspective. That is innovation. That is almost unimaginable to any PC gamer that has been around for 20+ years. That there might be an actual alternative worth hopping to for the everyday casual PC gamer. I will argue that the Steam Deck's innovation, especially when it comes to operating systems, is one of the most important developments we've seen the past decade or two.

>>716484548
That has nothing to do with anything.
It's not the same to have a strong brand and sell 5 million at launch and 10 in the first year, than selling 1 at launch and 2 in the first year, which is what is starting to happen to them because people are jumping ship.
It's not that the gaming market isn't growing, it's growing, just not on PS and Xbox , which is something they are helping with and will severely affect them.
Because you may think
>If they don't sell them on PS they will sell them later on PC, people will wait if they want the game, what's the problem
And the problem is that games lose momentum, they always do, and more importantly, these 2 make most of their money not selling their games, but selling services like ps plus and selling all games, mtx etc that are published on their platform. They NEED to sell consoles.
Both will drastically drop sales next gen with what they are doing and revenue will start to decrease every year unless they break the bank with some service game, there's no reason to buy an Xbox or a PS anymore.

>>716485513

Because they need an ornament to worship

>>716485513
Both console warriors and PC trannies who think any of this is bad news are artistically obsessed with exclusives, even though in reality they don’t matter all that much anymore and Sony could coast for decades as the market leader without putting out anything

There's that word again, "revenue". How much are they making in PROFIT? You know, the money that they actually MAKE after paying all their costs from that revenue?

It's not, they're on their phones and people like you have no idea what you're talking about. You probably never even been to Japan and you think e-girls is some proof of anything?
It's not like Japan doesn't have computers, but between studying and working long hours. PC gaming is not something the typical Japanese citizen has time for.
They play on their phones mostly, this has always been a thing since mobile gaming became a thing. Hell, they were doing that shit like a decade before the west was even thinking about it.

>>716486526
>PC gaming isn't really a thing in their culture
PC gaming has eclipsed console gaming for the past years in Japan. They're jumping on. Home consoles are dead in the water. The biggest reason Nintendo sells over there at this point is simply because it's portable.

>>716462641 (OP)
It has been that way for a long time. Square enix and the absolute state of western AAA was the warning that everyone wanted to ignore.
Square enix couldn't get the sales that they needed for their exclusive games due to a combination of their FF games being bad and the playstation user base being full of westoids who are racist japan and japanese culture. A noticeable chunk of the japanese playerbase also abandoned playstation in favor of PC/Mobile/Nintendo.
Western AAA cannot depend on the playstation/xbox platform anymore because their budgets and dev times are ballooning like crazy and the revelation that most AAA games are unoptimized pieces of shit that take up 100GB of a consoles hard drive is becoming more apparent. People were BLATANTLY ignoring the fact that Microsoft admitted this in court when they defeated Sony and the FTC. They basically used that huge weakness of theirs as the secondary reason why they are going third party, where the primary reason is being to get the US government out of their asses.
The hatred for game installation was also already there. Third party devs are getting too cocky.

>>716482659

>>716486967
This is a ridiculous statement on a few things.
1) Japan is the size of America's entire eastern coast, it's not that big of a place to "shake up the industry" about anything. If you were to scrunch up Japan into a ball it'd be about the size of Texas. Using them as some sort of indicator to anything means absolutely fucking nothing from a business standpoint.
2) Smartphones has dominated both consoles and PC in Japan for a long time.
3) "Home consoles dead in the water"? Maybe for Xbox, but what you're saying is extremely dramatic. Sony and Nintendo dominate over Xbox in Japan. It's not even close. So to say they're all dead in the water is the wild.
3)
>The biggest reason Nintendo sells over there at this point is simply because it's portable.
Because their culture plays on phones and they wanted to try and obtain that audience. Notice how their handhelds were always printing money? Because people always wanted portable. Gamecube was designed with that handle to be portable. It's not some big epiphany kid.

Your first point has nothing to do with anything.
Your second point has nothing to do with anything.
Your third point is just wrong. Xbox being rotting in the water doesn't mean the PS5 isn't selling like total dogshit. The Switch is a handheld and yes, people value portability, which is why it still sells. Nintendo already had to kill their home console line before even Xbox did.

It's a portable console as well as a home console. Handheld isn't a magical word.

>>716489459
I like how you have selective reading.
Smartphones are dominating the gaming industry, not PC.
Everyone has a smartphone, not everyone has or wants a PC.

>>716489592
The Switch is LITERALLY just a handheld with HDMI out. If it was a home console, it would have flopped, people value it for portability, especially in a mobile oriented nation like Japan.

>>716489661
I like how you're continuing to miss the entire point and trying to argue some baffling irrelevant side tangents because you've got a huge stick up your butt over PC.

>Sony has confirmed they're going third party

>>716489681
You can use the Switch either as a home console solely, a fully portable console, or alternate the two kind of uses back and forth.
Also, claiming that Japan solely cares about portability is a massive lie from gaijins (PS4 still did well there, including software sales, even if it had a rough start in 2014 and 2015). Games are what a console system successful and SIE under californian rule did everything in its power to alienate the Japanese market.

>>716482659
Well yeah but I meant that Jak 1 and 2 have native PC ports

>>716489785
We're talking about the dominate gaming market.
Smartphones beats all of them.
I am on topic, it's not my fault you don't want to see reality that not everyone gives a flying fuck about PC.
Mobile games boosts sales for companies extremly easier than full blown games. Look at the anime horse girl game for example.
This isn't a "side tangent", you are attempting to dismiss my talking points despite smartphones fall into PC and handheld categories as it is a computer and a handheld device.
That handheld device is dominating the market worldwide. A good majority of the entire planet relies on smartphones now. Everyone has access to games on their phone.
PC gaming is not that big of a deal anymore. They only want to port their games to PC because they want to appeal to the western audience. Most PC gamers though pirate shit, and they'll do more of that once they put their games on steam and realize how stupid it is to do that when they see their games get sold for less than a console online store does.
These are the same people who looked at Twitter and thought listening to literally anyone was a good idea.
They have no idea what's about to happen when more console games get on PC, they're going to get ripped off.

>>716489959
Not him but it’s not really a home console. Neither is the deck, doesn’t matter if you can connect it to a TV. They are called handhelds for a reason

>>716490250
Says who? It's a hybrid you autistic fuck.

>>716490250
Switch is a console, calling it a handheld (a word that doesn't exist in my native tongue btw) doesn't magically denies its nature as a console. Just like how the Deck is primarily a gaming PC laptop firstmost as it functions wholly differently.

>>716489459

Did I miss something? Isn't it literally outpacing PS4?

>>716490521
Outpacing it in what way?

>>716490397
So you think it’s perfectly normal to call the deck a PC just because it technically is one?

>>716490561
Lifetime sales projection. Unless it already cratered as of this year and suits keep counting their chickens before they hatch

>>716490743
I highly doubt it's outpacing PS4. Maybe it had a strong launch but we won't really know for sure until the holiday season comes up. A lot of major releases for multi plat games are coming and it will be a good way to tell what console is performing well.
Summer is when to tell in Hollywood what people are watching. But the holiday season is when it's easier to tell the demand/sales due to christmas.

>>716489959
It doesn't matter, it is still a handheld. The ps4 doing well over there also doesn't matter. Plenty of home consoles did well over there in the past. Current home consoles are flopping hard while pc has taken over.

>>716490895
>Plenty of home consoles did well over there in the past.
Besides Xbox. Although I think 360 did better there than the other Xboxes iirc

>>716490862

>>716490128
>We're talking about the dominate gaming market.
No, that's what you're trying to do and you're dragging mobile into it because you desperately don't want to acknowledge PC taking over home consoles in Japan. Nobody was saying mobile isn't huge in Japan, but it is totally irrelevant to the discussion.

>>716490895
Switch is a hybrid console. End of the line.
And you grossly overestimate how much PC gaming is growing in Japan when PC builds and parts are more expensive over there due of the weak yen + the usual taxes (a relatively decent build can easily cost around the price of a PS5 Pro, aka 12k yen, if not a bit more). As well as the kind of games the Japanese userbase on PC is usually playing.

>>716491185
*120k yen
oops

>>716490521
With like 5k sales a week, I highly doubt it's set to sell the 3 million more needed to outpace the PS4.

>>716468907

It is a console. There's just a difference between a handheld/portable console and a home console.

Whatever, I'm not about to argue semantics over marketing. The Switch is popular over their due to its portability. It is the only thing keeping consoles afloat in Japan and by and large the world. I don't see that lasting too much longer with the way things are going and the absolute state of modern Nintendo, but that's neither here nor there.
>And you grossly overestimate how much PC gaming is growing in Japan
No I'm not. The fact of the matter is it has eclipsed home consoles, the Japanese are migrating to it, and you can see the affects of that by all their games flooding onto the platform. It is extremely rare for anything to be exclusive outside of Nintendo titles these days when it used to be the norm.

It's popular because it's a hybrid where you get both the home console and portable console features in a single device, the Nintendo games on it but also all the third-parties that were synonymous with Playstation (the reason the Japs bought one in the first place).
>The fact of the matter is it has eclipsed home consoles, the Japanese are migrating to it
Absolutely delusional gaijin. One recent example is the pic related while:

>>716492613
Nintendo has never been about the tech. It has always been about making cheap products and selling at an average price.
Their handhelds were printing money more than their consoles.
Nintendo 64 and Gamecube did not do well despite what you may think.
Wii was a gimmick that got old quick and Wii U disapointed everyone.
Now that Reggie is gone from Nintendo, they want to price hike and have a new business philosophy. It was Reggie that had to argue with Nintendo back when Wii was coming out to include Wii sports.
Now Reggie is gone and they're about to have a rough time considering how Mario Kart has dropped in players and Donkey Kong ended up being mediocre.
Those were their two major launch games.
