Thread 719986950

>Earlier this year, Nintendo Co. was under growing pressure. It had been eight long years since the release of the original Switch, and its profit was tumbling more than 40%. When the Switch 2 finally arrived in June, some critics initially panned it as little more than a modest upgrade to its predecessor and questioned whether the Japanese game maker still had its magic touch.

>Yet the new console smashed records for opening weekend sales, selling out at retailers around the world and sending the company's shares to a lifetime high. Three months later, it's still flying off shelves and looks set to dominate Christmas.

>It was the latest example of Nintendo's weird genius — a masterclass in staying ahead by ignoring market expectations and concentrating on a seemingly simple mission: creating fun games.

It boggles my mind that people intentionally go out of their way to pay premium for outdated hardware.

ftfy
And "outdated hardware" doesn't mean much these days when the diminishing returns have gotten more and more exacerbated over time. This isn't something solely exclusive to consoles either, even people playing solely on PC may not necessarily buy the high-tier GPU (and CPU) when the gains are that negligible.

>>719986950 (OP)
Man, they just released exactly what people were telling them to release for years. The Switch but stronger. Good on them but I wouldn't say it takes a "weird genius".

this all started back when nintendo left e3

>>719988028
>And "outdated hardware" doesn't mean much these days
Sure, but if so then just stick with your older hardware. Buying old hardware repackaged as a "new" product at a premium price is at the very least not a good trade.

If you're going to buy new hardware for a high price, maybe, you know, buy new hardware?

>>719987891
go ahead and show me you playing concord on your sóytch 2

see, I can bring up shitty games nobody cares about, too

>>719989641
Is this why they shit on Valve too?

>Three months later, it's still flying off shelves and looks set to dominate Christmas.
With what, Pokemon Legends and Metroid 4?

>>719989893
It’s funny that “new hardware” to the average PC vegan means getting an increase of about 0.005% processing power from their CPU and 1 gig extra RAM for their video cards that immediately gets wasted because modern devs can’t optimize for shit. What’s the point in “new hardware” if you’re paying more just to keep your head above water? At least consoles can run the shit.

Remember the whole anti-legalist Nintendo campaign? That sure died fast.

>>719990159
Yes, exactly.

>>719986950 (OP)
And those fun games would be?

>>719990340
>At least consoles can run the shit
What an embarrassingly low standard.

>>719990340
>getting an increase of about 0.005% processing power from their CPU
Funny, I recently upgraded my CPU (for about $150) and that pretty much doubled my framerate in newer games. But I guess my anecdotal evidence doesn't exactly trump your impressive strawman.
>At least consoles can run the shit.
You can't seriously be arguing that latest consoles perform better than latest PCs.

>>719987582
True.

>>719989893
Are you genuinely retarded? Switch 2 had a proper 10x generational jump over Switch.

>>719990795
And? What does that have to do with what I said? It's still outdated hardware for the current year.

Are we really in for another decade of seething at Nintendo? How do these people not get tired?

>>719990710
>consoles are stationary, and therefore easy to switch footage in sony vegas
nice try

>>719987582
>outdated hardware
Good goy, keep buying a new 3k dollars graphics card that is the same as the one from last year in everything except some changes in the (((AI))) software.
Maybe we high IQ niggas just want to play videogames and not play dick measuring contact with other discord troons like you? Ever thought about that?
Why do you even care how powerful the hardware is? I can play an SNES or game boy color game and have plenty of fun, you don't need the latest consumerist bullshit. GAMES are what matters

>>719987582
>Paying a premium
That's not even true
Switch 2 is cheaper than Windows handhelds
Steam deck is around the same price

>>719986950 (OP)
Nintendo goes for charm when Sony and the like go for realism.

>>719986950 (OP)
>opening weekend sales

>>719987582
actual graphics hardware hasn't really improved in the last 4 years, it's all been very marginal upgrades hidden by lots of AI gimmicks

>>719987582
Lenovo is making a competitor to Switch 2, and it costs $1500, safe to say Nintendo won

>>719990159
What do Sony and Microsofy have?

>>719986950 (OP)
the weird part is they didn't focus
they made a new console yeah
but it has no games

Pretty fucking sweet lineup actually

>>719990159
Against what? What looks like the shittiest Calladoody to date?

>>719986950 (OP)
Not really, the only reason why everyone bought the switch 2 is because of how bad the rest of the gaming industry is. Nintendo has been making garbage unfinished slop for a while now.

If Sega actually put as much effort as they did even in the Dreamcast era they would absolutely destroy Nintendo.

>>719987582
>cheapest of the three major consoles
>pay a premium
Are you retarded

>>719992269
Yeah, Sony and Microsoft don't have shit aside from Ghost of Yotei, and kids aren"/ gonna pick that over Mario Kart, Kirby or Pokemon

>>719992269
GTA6 . . . Oh wait, that got delayed again. Nintendo launching the Switch 2 when they did really solidifies the weird genius argument.

>>719986950 (OP)
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH DELETE THIS RIGHT NOOOOOOOWW!!!!

>>719986950 (OP)
Yes.

The Switch holds it's own purely because it's an actual proper console. In other words it just werks, no launchers, no shader comp, no graphics to set, no frametime graphs, no tdp controls etc. Sometimes you just want to jump straight into a game and it's great for that but you pay a bit more.

Also none of the pc based handhelds have come close to a reliable sleep/resume which is pretty fundamental to a handheld.

Corpos really gotta be scratching their heads in regards to the video game industry. Why are people preferring the cheaper wares for higher prices?

>>719992912
umm no chud you need to wait 5 minutes for your handheld to resume while it plays ads for you to watch.

>>719989893
There is a still a big generational jump from the Switch 1 to the Switch 2 though, with games that couldn't exactly run on the former hardware.
And I sure wouldn't call the pricing of the Switch 2 to be anywhere "premium" either. It's 450€, that's easily manageable if you have a job and not retarded with your money. Also the cheapest option amongst other consoles.
>>719990653
>You can't seriously be arguing that latest consoles perform better than latest PCs.
More like some people want games to just run on the console with zero eventual troubleshooting (even if the performance isn't perfect per se), while PC users tend to be treated like second-class citizens (ports of Japanese console games are most often poorly optimized or offer the bare minimum for instance).

>>719992932
nintendo games are better designed. simple as.

>>719992912
I'd go further and say that a reliable sleep/resume should be fundamental to any console. Or any game playing device really.

>>719991103
Yeah lemme just start up fucking mangohud on my Switch 2 so I can benchmark the game. Retard.

The PS6 will be very interesting to see because TVs have not progressed beyond 4k 60 fps.

Developers will have way more power to their disposal. Honestly just go all in on path tracing.

>>719987582
>to pay premium
SAAR...

>>719993081
I've been applying for jobs just so I can afford a Switch 2. I'll probably quit once I've bought it.

>>719990090
don't overdose on that copium

>>719993081
> It's 450€ ... Also the cheapest option amongst other consoles.
You can buy a PS5 for €439, or a Series S for €329.

>>719987582
What was the stronger hardware that plays MKW and DKB Air Riders Prime 4 pokemon etc etc etc?

>>719992912
>Also none of the pc based handhelds have come close to a reliable sleep/resume which is pretty fundamental to a handheld
Wut? The Deck really can't do that?

>>719993321
>i can buy no games for 439 or 329

>>719990159
And zelda musou, and the evergreens.

>>719989893
The Switch 2 is the cheapest current gen console and will continue to get new, exclusive games for the next 8 years minimum like the Switch 1. That's good value for most people who don't care about specs and just want to play video games.

>>719993321
Ah my bad then, I sorta figured the PS5 was around 500€
But still, I wouldn't call that price range to be anywhere "premium" regardless

>>719992324
>if only
the absolute state of nintendo haters.

>>719993572
>The Switch 2 is the cheapest current gen console
The Series S and PS5 digital are both cheaper at retail price, and discounts are frequent too.

>>719993572
That's not even the best part. Since Nintendo never, ever lowers their prices, and their consoles stay on the market for almost a decade, you can just sell your Switch 2 second hand at full price a few years down the line.

>>719993695
>no games is cheaper than yes games
we know kike

>>719992324
You can let it go Sega bro, it's okay I promise you.

>>719993734
The PS5 and Xbox have gone up in price since they were launched 5 years ago.

>>719988358
Imagine if they had released "the gamecube but stronger" instead of the Wii

>>719993872
Yeah but owning them prior to selling them doesn't give me access to good games so why bother?

>>719993958
You can bet your ass they would have done so if the Gamecube had sold 150 million+ units lmao

>>719993765
Nintendo makes kid games. Nonverbal colorful characters with non-immersive worlds and disjointed or nonsensical plotlines. It's kiddie entertainment

>>719994060
Nintendo won.
sony lost.

>>719994060
Works on my machine

>>719994048
Nintendo these days is motivated mostly by profit. We know. They accumulated fans over the years, and now they're "cashing in" on them

>>719994127
>these days
Always has been. If making good games were enough to make profit, they'd do that instead.

>>719994125
You like them. The happy, silly, smiling children's characters, which you enjoy through a thick layer of irony to disguise the fact you're playing children's games

>>719994208
all games are for children.
>buh muh cinematic kike slop!

>>719993434
Deck standby is much better than any of the Windows handhelds but it wasn't perfect when I had mine. Perhaps it's got better with updates. Also the deck pre-downloads shaders which helps with performance but is annoying when you want to start a game and it wants to download shaders first. Some games took bloody ages to start as well

>>719993695

really it's an issue with linux.
it happened to me like a year ago, not so much anymore.

>>719994127
the SNES, GBA and 3DS were, by all accounts, "same thing but stronger" consoles.

>>719994270
Really? I look in the catalog I see RPG's, hack and slash, dark immersive mystery stories, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, World of Warcraft....etc.
And then, there's the nintendo threads
>happy silly smiling children's character
>pokemon!!
>tee hee playing kiddie games is so ironic and not serious!
It's completely bizarre. These threads stick out like a sore thumb. A the cutesy, silly, happy little nintendo characters.

This is the spurce of manchildren, that's where it's coming from. Speedtrannies are grown men attempting to impose adult levels of difficulty on these kiddie games. They are just the symptom, Nintendo is the disease

>>719994392
SNES gimmick was having a million buttons and mode 7. 3DS gimmick was, y'know, the 3D?

>>719993572
Meanwhile the PS6 and Nextbox are gonna be like $750+ and the vast majority of its games still coming out on old-gen consoles

>>719986950 (OP)
too expensive

>>719987582
>It boggles my mind that people intentionally go out of their way to pay premium for outdated hardware
If they were they'd be buying the PS5.

>>719987582
It boggles my mind that retards like you think hardware matters when some of the best games ever made are on 8/16/32 bit consoles that have been obsolete for a quarter of a century.

>>719994572
>I look in the catalog I see RPG's, hack and slash, dark immersive mystery stories, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil
The same games that are available and bought in masses on Switch?

>>719994589
And the Switch 2 has a mouse that already has more uses than anything they did with the 3D.
Love how you didn't refute the GBA.

>>719994572
>hack and slash, dark immersive mystery stories, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, World of Warcraft....etc.
So you see kids games.
WoW definitely isn't for adults especially not now.
Metal Gear is basically a parody game.
Resi is a joke now with the only good "modern" game being 4 which released on the gamecube first.

>>719994572
Did this nigga really just try to cite World of fucking Warcraft as some kind of positive example?

>>719990159
Yes.

>>719994572
I can just tell you where about to type Dark Souls but then you remembered...

>>719994790
I mean the leap in power is quite astronomical when you consider the original GB was weaker than an NES. Yet it still killed all competitors and got top billing games for over a decade.

Don't care

Deck > Shit 2

Nigger I was playing those games when I was 9.

>>719994640
literally the cheapest option.

I've never understood Nintendo people. Ok it's not like you can't buy multiple consoles but Nintendo people are fucking strange.

Mario kart is fun with friends but why would you play it alone instead of gran turismo.

Zelda is well I mean it's not exactly baldur's gate now is it.

Then there's people who actually play third party games on these? I don't even have a frame of reference for the consumer that would willingly pay full price for a 5 year old game like cyberpunk to run and look like dogshit.

Also it seems they actually hate their customers. Sony's always had a premium on anything they sell but my god at least you get your moneys worth. Nintendo just over prices their systems and games to an insane level. A fucking paid hardware chat button my God.

>>719995240
When I was gaming, there was no Sony yet. Only Nintendo.

>>719993110
true. I don't have a PS5 but I heard games load straight to the main menu without showing logo's/fmvs and this is a requirement from Sony. Apart from the first time you launch a game that is.

The time it takes from deciding you want to play a game to actually taking control of said game should be taken more seriously when looking at various platforms.

>>719995240
>Sony's always had a premium on anything they sell but my god at least you get your moneys worth.

>I've never understood Nintendo people
There's an easy answer for that, you just don't like games.
I mean the two examples you gave are GT a racer with a poor sense of speed and Baldur's Gate where the fun is in what narrative choices you make and not the gameplay, you'd get the same amount of entertainment from a choose your own adventure book.

>>719995240
it's not normal to buy and own multiple consoles, you've been indoctrinated

>>719995240
>Sony's always had a premium on anything they sell but my god at least you get your moneys worth.
my money is well expend when i play the games i like and not only kike propaganda.

Nintendo is the sole remaining platform in the industry with exclusives

>>719995240
The switch has no real competitor as an all in one device that can be played anywhere and on a TV. If Gran Turismo was on Switch 2 it would probably sell quite well.

Sony and Microshaft need to step it up but they just won't.

>>719994060
Nintendo makes family games, games for everyone, games that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. We're in 2025, you surely have already grown the "mature games for mature gamers like myself" phase.

>>719995240
I own a Switch and a PC, I have more games you'll ever have access to. Shame you eternally live in a sour grapes state to enjoy true videogame variety.

>>719986950 (OP)
It's literally the same damn console with slightly upgraded shit (but outdated).

If it has Nintendo, Mario or Zelda slapped on? Normal niggers eat it up.

>>719995240
People who play Nintendo games usually are in a gated community in the gaming world as a whole, they've never played those games nor Assassin's Creed either, if they did play Assassin's Creed they'd have fatigue already since BOTW is more of it.

Average Nintendo fans style themselves as gamers yet they don't play games outside of their toddler console. This leads to endless frustration as they see games they cannot play and so convince themselves that Nintendo is a super genius company that can do no wrong and shouldn't bother expanding their horizons. It's a vicious cycle of endless self-cucking.

>>719990710

Nintendo sat on carts while ps1 had discs and let you play audio cds. Ps2 was famously a great DVD player while Nintendo gave you faggy mini discs. Psp let you have music and videos of a decent amount of file types plus internet browsing. I guess you'd rather play Nintendogs? Ps3 was incredible since you got all that plus super audio CD, bluray and Linux functionality. Nintendo had the wii which don't get me wrong had some fun games too but was totally gimped.

>>719996665
Mate most people on 4chan were first worlders before you thirdies got an internet connection. The fact you have to brag about your ability to spend 500 dollars every 7 years tells me you're poor.

>This leads to endless frustration as they see games they cannot play
lad there is already a massive amount of games on the Switch 1 + Switch 2, and it's obvious at this point barely any third-party can afford the luxury to skip Nintendo these days.
The sole times I felt forced to play on my gaming PC in the last few years were for EDF6, Armored Core 6, Lies of P and Elden Ring (which I plan on getting the Switch 2 port later this year).

>>719994060

the only worthwhile thing there is the dvd and blu ray players. But i buy consoles to play GAMES, not to watch movies.

Said toddler console is statistically proven to have the highest sales on multiplatform games when you compare the three consoles, and the only times it doesn't happen is when companies like Bamco think it's smart to neuter their sales by releasing a Switch port one year after the game's release.

>>719997943
can you fucking read, stupid nigger?

>>719997954
Multiplatform sales on Nintendo consoles have been consistently abysmal since the N64 days. Virtually all of the best selling games since then have been first party games.

>>719998261
Do you have global sales including digital? That's also a niche Japanese game, and Nintendo absolutely dominates in Japan.

>>719998062
Yes, but the argument that Nintendo gamers only play Nintendo games is false as the Switch is home to a lot of multiplatform games also available on other consoles and PC, and excluding Steam for obvious reasons, multiplatforms always sell better on Switch than on the other consoles, that's a statistic fact.

And now the Switch 2 can, and will, have ports of games like Elden Ring, Indiana Jones and Outlaws (as shitty as it might be). For people who only want a games machine, Nintendo is currently the best bang for your buck.

Funny how people refuse to acknowledge how well third party games sell on switch. They don't want to let go of that "tendies only play nintendo games" cope

>>719998504
I have met tendies in real fucking life who only play games on Nintendo consoles and refuse to touch any other device.

>>719998669
The lack of third party support is what leads to the tendie cycle. For example, they trashed Elden Ring non-stop,
but some might change their tune after the game is being ported. That doesn't change the fact that the trend has been for third parties to skip Nintendo ever since the Xbox 360 says, and that trend has leds to only Nintendo games having any strong sales on their systems (saving a few exceptions like Monster Hunter).

>>719998703
I don't blame them. The PS5 and the xbox series have no games

>>719994048
I don't know how to break this to you, anon, but the Wii IS "the GameCube, but stronger." Similarly, the Wii U is "the Wii, but stronger." Most of the unique concepts that were realized in the Wii, 3DS and Wii U were all cultivated during the GameCube era, and Nintendo reused most of the DNA from the GameCube's architecture to create the Wii and Wii U. That whole line of products is just a chain of "the last console with more ram and more compute"

>>719999032
Which is why you guys keep begging for ports.

>>719998401
No one is actually debating who won and who lost. Unless you're a stock holder who gives a fuck.

I want more games I want Nintendo and Sony to make good games. I bought a wiiu for mk8 because I had so much fun playing with friends. Then the switch came out and I just thought wow its just wiiu ports why is everyone going wild. Are that many people really playing these fucking things on the bus? Then switch 2 comes out and it's not oled it's got a pretty damn weak chipset and its launching with mk world which no one can sit here and actually defend that after 11 years this is the best they could do?

As a pc player it's laughable to pay for graphics upgrades on a per game basis. I know playstation had paid ps4 to ps5 upgrades too but Nintendo does it and they can't even include all the dlc as a goty copy on zelda that launched on fucking wiiu? Reusing the same map for totk? Fuck em dude Cmon

>>719999167
They were only really successful whenever they got a strong gimmick tho.
>Gameboy, first major portable console

I still wonder if the Switch 2 can keep the momentum long term without a new gimmick.

>I want more games I want Nintendo and Sony to make good games
Nintendo makes good games, in fact the Switch era was the period with most of its best graded and highest selling versions ever, and they release games on an almost monthly basis. It sounds like your expectations have become so unrealistic that you're incapable of enjoying something as genuinely fun as Bananza anymore.

And it's completely fine not to find Nintendo games fun, but don't go around saying that they haven't released anything good since the WiiU, that's just NDS talk at this point.

>>719999341
The GBA would have easily outsold the GB if not for the fact that Nintendo pushed the DS early because of the PSP.

The 3DS suffered from mobile games taking over handhelds.

The Switch 2 however has virtually no competition, the thing already outsold all of those PC handhelds that people used to swear they were gonna totally take over the market, and the new Xbox Handheld is like, what? $800? Lmao

>>719999770
>its NINTENDO manipulating sales statistics and media articles!
kile projection.

>>719999770
Reality: they're still doing lottery for switch2 in Japan

>>719999978
>The 3DS suffered from mobile games taking over handhelds.
Nah, it had nothing to do with mobile games, it was because the Iwata era fucking sucked and had some of Nintendo's worst games.

>>719999770
Hey Eric, did your last anti-Nintendo thread die already?

>Nintendo keep getting good news
>Sony keep getting bad news
The press is out to get sony, they have an obvious Nintendo bias

>>719986950 (OP)
>pressures devs to keep developing for switch
>withholds switch 2 devkits
what genius? they've got cold feet after seeing how horribly ps5 and xsex bombed so they're artificially holding back devs to ensure a steady revenue stream
the only upside is game requirements won't climb for a while longer

>>720000172
I mean, as far as first party games goes the DS is one of the worst Nintendo consoles and as of this day it is still the best selling Nintendo console ever.

>>719988028
NOOOOOOO BAD GOY. BAD.
YOU WILL TURN ON THE MEMETRACING
YOU WILL TURN ON DLSS AND FRAME GENERATION
YOU WILL BUY AN RTX 5090
you goddamn anti-semite

>>720000341
It's almost as if the DS had good first party games.

>>719998292
>wilds is casualshit. even worse vomit than world
>it's so badly programmed it chokes on high-tier CPUs and top of the line GPUs

disgusting

>>720000243
>Nintendo keep getting good news
>press finds a way to spin it as a bad thing
>Sony keep getting bad news
>press finds a way to spin it as a good thing

Just look at OP using wording like "weird genius" and starting the article by downplaying Nintendo profits when they are the market leader.

>>720000301
Pretty much all of the big third party studios already have a devkits lol
Fromsoftware
Capcom
Square Enix
Bamco
CDProjekt
Microsoft/Bethesda
Sega/Atlus/RGG studio
EA
Ubisoft
Even Atari lmao

Surely everyone else can wait a lil bit longer

>>720000243
>Reality has a Nintendo bias

>>720000693
they're actively discouraging devs from developing switch 2 titles and would rather sell "upgrade packs." it's pure greed

>>720001016
We have no real confirmation of this since no developer has come out to confirm.

>>719986950 (OP)
>genius of gaming
>nothing innovative in years
>all their latest games are copy pasted recycled shit for 3 year olds but somehow only played by manchildren drinking söylent in their mid 40s

>>720001016
I'm not sure that's a thing, since Silksong has a free upgrade

>>720001108
They have
Anonymously

>>720001108
>just burn bridges with the company to settle an internet argument
are you retarded? oh wait you're a console warrior, so it comes with the territory

>>720001016
>They're actively discouraging devs from developing switch 1 titles and would rather sell the game on a system with a lower install base so more people have to upgrade. It's pure greed!
you can always spin it to fit your narrative

console enjoyers, especially nintendr*nes, have the mindset of someone who has given up. it runs rampant.
>"i just wanna turn it on and play the game!"
you end up running through more hurdles for a worse experience in every way possible

>>720001267
stop being retarded. if you make games tailored to older hardware, it means you're not confident your new offerings will sell

>>720001108
I'm an insider
Nintendo sent thugs to our company and force us to make switch 1 only games
They took our wife and kids hostage

>>720001461
That's rough man. Hope you can get your family back someday. Alive and in one piece.

>>719997357
I'm not any of the anons you replied to but none of that's that convincing as an argument for Sony consoles "always" getting you more of your money's worth, speaking as someone whose favorite console is the PS2 and whose favorite game is a PSP game. The most recent system you've mentioned came out 19 years ago and none of the reasoning's to do with games, which in Nintendo's case is the overriding USP. They have games that most people like. It's genuinely that simple. Games, games, games. I don't get this argument in particular:
>Psp let you have music and videos of a decent amount of file types plus internet browsing. I guess you'd rather play Nintendogs?
Would people would rather buy a gaming handheld to play a game, in this case a really popular one? Why wouldn't they?

>>720001460
you're starting from the flawed and imaginary premise that nintendo doesn't want devs to develop for switch 2, which is obviously false
i'm just pointing out that even if your disingenuous lie was the opposite, you would find a way to spin it as a bad thing

>>719999978
People often forget that the GBA only had 3 years of life before the DS came out, a complete anomaly for Nintendo hardware. Despite that, it still sold 80 million units with ease.

>>719987582
You guys really don't get it still, do you. Now that boggles *my* mind, go figure.

>>719987582
Hey there whiteboy, you buy my new gpu yet? I need a new boat.

>>720001770
>company wanting games to run on both consoles to lines their pockets is a conspiracy
a retarded snail has more braincells than you
captcha Y GAY 0

>anons ITT in denial about the switch 2's success
They can cope all they want but there are good reason why people are buying the switch and third party companies like square enix and capcom are praising it

>>719997357
>Nintendo sat on carts while ps1 had discs and let you play audio cds
Discs were never good for gaming, lets be honest. Still aren't which is why they're all installs or downloads.

>>720002165
discs enabled devs to develop vibrant worlds and use real non-synthesized music. not to mention video cutscenes and FMVs
>they're all installs or downloads.
because of load times because games are unoptimized pieces of shit made by illiterate jeets, faggot.

>>720001542
thanks bro, but between you and me, I've been meaning to get a divorce
.....so

>>720002072
>more options is bad, actually
i'm sorry but you are suffering from nintendo derangement syndrome (nds for short)

>>720001016
how the fuck they gonna sell upgrade packs for games they don't own the rights to
are you retarded?

>>720001892
>It's true
Wtf they were really scared of the PSP.
I wonder if all the 3rd parties would have jumped ship if they had decided to wait instead.

>>720002404
>completely ignoring that corporation gets a 30% cut from each sale
see, there you go arguing in bad faith again. showing you're a fucking corporate drone

>>720002404
nintendo is all powerful, they can push around EA, Ubisoft, even Sony.
they just chose not to force 3rd party to make upgrades, due to greed

>>720000170
Correct but in most other countries you can easily get one. You'd be surprised at how difficult getting lots of things is in Japan. Also nintenjew having dual pricing for Japanese language only pisses me off.

>>>720001690
Because a ps2 was the same price as a DVD player for a while you get the games capability for free. Same with ps3. the first JP and NA ps3s were a massive value to any non brain dead consumer but of course poor people seethe because they only see the big number. If 100 or 200 is enough to break the bank over 8 years you shouldn't be playing games. Psp was an ipod with video but without gay iTunes restrictions.

As for games Nintendo gets the same characters generally doing the same things. I like Mario but you don't get nearly the variety or maturity in games as you do with any non Nintendo console. Ps4 and ps5 have less hardware impact in today's market and are basically just PC's that's why they aren't worth mentioning.

>>720002302
no, because of load times because optical media fucking blows ass and we've long since surpassed the maximum capabilities of the format. discs were a genuine godsend when they first rose to prominence, and even now the capability of discs to store high volumes of information in a cost-effective way is a luxury not afforded to many forms of flash or solid-state storage, but FUCK OPTICAL MEDIA!!!! slow, fragile, unreliable LANDFILL!!!!!!

>>720002587
What are we even trying to say here?
Like, which one is more?
30% of $70
or
30% of $60 + 30% of $10
Let's whip out those calculators.

>>720002580
I can't be too sure about whether it was because of the PSP, but the fact that the DS launched with a GBA cartridge slot to further cannibalize its older brother is pretty funny to me. The GBA still got releases up till around 2006, and both it and the DS did very well at the end of the day, but no one knows what Nintendo was smoking back then.

>>719994572
You played and enjoyed FF7 and DOOM as an 8 year old child. Let that sink in.

>>719998624
really hurt your feelings huh?

>>720003289
It's easy to see the DS/Wii generation as a guaranteed success now but imagine going back to those times.
The Gamecube was a failure while the PS2 was taking over everything else, and even the og Xbox outsold it. Sega just exited the console market abd with that there was the fear that Nintendo could face the same destiny after losing hard to Sony twice in a row. And to make things worse, Sony is now working trying to enter the handdheld market?
It's not hard to imagine they went a bit lnto panic mode.

>>719994572
>RPG's, hack and slash, dark immersive mystery stories, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil
All playable on switch btw

>>720003102
>Let's whip out those calculators.
umm is it just me or does this sound like an anti semitic dog whistle to anyone else?

>>719993572
I hope we are not stuck with Switch2 for 8 years. I'd like a next gen console after 5-6 years.

>>720004383
Wow you get to play mgs... 3 decades later. Oh wait what about 4 and 5. This is the kind of talking that makes you look like a fucking retard

>>720003102
the second one is more, bingtendo retard
that's the whole point, pure greed

>>720004604
Hardware improvements are slow and costly these days, and Nintendo handhelds outside of the GBA all had long lifespans before a successor was announced. The Switch 2 might even last longer than the original Switch.

>>720005035
lmoa

>>720005754
They also need to figure out a way to have a better battery life while improving the hardware cuz at this rate Switch 3 games will be playable for half an hour lol

>>720006123
It'll be interesting to see what the supposedly portable PS6 looks like since it's supposed to still be on par with a base PS5.

>>719998624
Just say there arent any next time

Never played before, FF Tactics for Switch 2 over PS5? Seems like it would be good handheld.
Not a Deckshitter btw

>>720006123
The Switch had a revision in 2019 improved the battery life for the original, I imagine something like that will happen for the Switch 2 as well.

>>720006532
If you weren't a tendie you would have played it on ps1 or psp

>>719990195
I want an Xbox series X more than a steam deck... am I retarded? if you choose yes, explain other than le portability, I won't be found dead playing outside risking my expensive ass device getting damaged or stolen.

>>720007375
Same here anon. A lot of back compat games on Xbox that I can play on my nice LG OLED.

>>720007021
But he has a ps5

>>719986950 (OP)

>Typical Jewish anti-Japan propaganda.

Its the normalcy that made Switch and Switch 2 rape Sony and Microsoft into third party status. Its the woke/FAGGOT shit that Sony and Microsoft forces in their games that is weird.

I'm convinced this dude shits up /v on a daily basis

>>720011435
What makes you say that? All NDSfags behave the same, I've seen niggas that cope like Eric outside of /v/

>>720011435
this guy is genuinely out of his gourd, have you seen his unhinged youtube posts?
>this Nintendo fan is afraid of his audience that's why he doesn't fully hate the thing he actually likes more
like what, WHAT

>>719993958
I wouldn't have bought it. Either would have only had a 360 or would try PC gaming just to see how close I could get to Crysis working on it.
