Thread 725013339

There is no console war.

nintendo won but it feels strangely anticlimatic, even if it's always nice to make fun of snoys and their neverending delusions

>>725013339 (OP)
all that tells me is nintendo is behind the times on moving to full digital
its even gayer considering those nintendo cases just contain a chip you download the game from online with
japanese plastic waste through the roof
gotta fill the ocean with something now they've scoured it clean of whales

>>725013478
You will own nothing and you will be happy ahhh NPC anon

>>725013435
>strangely anticlimactic
did you expect there to be explosions or a fist fight between the company president? it feels the same when sega just pulled out of making consoles

>>725013339 (OP)
Since when did Gayzor give a shit about consoles, anyway?

Console wars ended and nobody won. All sides just collectively agreed to stop fighting.

>>725013478
So who is going to sell the hardware and physical accessories to you?

>>725013528
You can't possibly try to peddle that garbage when Nintendo is apple-tier when it comes to being a locked down piece of shit

>>725013563
? the Switch 2 is getting more exclusives this year than the PS5 did in 5 years

>>725013339 (OP)
What's the point for console wars?

PS/Xbox both have gamepasses, their games available on PC, and none of those games are generation-defining even if they are "good".

Generation-defining games always go multiplat anyways because the profits are better. PCs play new and old games just fine while having more freedom than any console can offer. Physical for PS/Xbox is also dogshit. Turns out, most of the discs are basically just a license, so there's no reason to buy physical anymore since they can brick your shit either way.

Nintendo is the only one that's still exclusive focus and the only one selling physical games you can pop in and play.

I don't even think console fanboys even exist anymore except for maybe nintendies.

>>725013478
There is less plastic in a switch cart than in a PS5 disc.

Why did Microsoft even listen to dorito pope and not just kill the video game division when they had the chance? Now they look even more weak and incompetent than had they just pulled out early.

>console war
grow up

>>725013339 (OP)
It legit feels like Microsoft is trying to do everything in its power to kill X-Box.

>>725013339 (OP)
I guess PC gaming must be dead, huh? Michael Jackson fanboys are always severely mentally ill.

>>725013339 (OP)
Literally just because Nintendo is for children and parents are far more likely to buy games for their child at a store than on the digital platform while the others people buy their own games.

Nintendo won.
Video games won.
Gameplay won.
Gamers won.
Japan won.
Microsoft lost.
Live Service lost.
Wannabe movies lost.
Journos lost.
The West lost.

>>725013478

Stupid fucking thread and OP is a faggot.

>>725013339 (OP)
How did X-Box become such a failure? They use to be top dog and now they are the most embarrassing thing since Ouya.

Nintendo are slowly getting rid of physical so then what will these stores have?

>>725013339 (OP)
That's like 75% of an isle.

>>725013876
plushies, amiibo and accessories

>>725013654
Its the same shit as sports, 90% of peoples favourite sports ball teams are that way becauce of where/what they grew up with its the exact same shit with vidya.

>>725013339 (OP)
All the heroes died in the battle, so when the war was won there was nobody the celebrate.
I love you, Sega.

Nintendo fucked with the generational cycle because they knew they couldn't pull off another Wii.

>>725013792
>but what about the gambling platform that costs you a kidney to buy

>>725013478
digital consoles soon I guess

>>725013613
ironically, they have the least locked-down console of the current gen.

>>725013840
Literally just letting their franchises die. We like to say PS has no games because they launch on PC, but those don’t traditionally go to Xbox, so you’re actively missing out by choosing one. Gamepass had potential, but the user base wasn’t there

They’re still relatively small. They just found a niche rather than competing directly

Actually, what happened was consoles stopped getting killer apps and just started launching with literally nothing instead. Anyone with a brain stopped measuring their dick using the brand name on their plastic toy.

You don't own anything with Switch 2 cartridges. They essentially a good old empty box with a key inside that you use to download the game like WoW subs.

>>725013435
Sony and xbox nuking themselves answer this

>>725013435
Mostly because Sony and Microsoft played themselves. Nintendo sat by the river and waited.

>>725014958
anon thats only for some third parties, all Nintendo published games are on cart.

>>725013435
because Nintendo won their own championship.

PlayStation and Xbox are dead, they will be third parties in console and PC gaming that will be dominated by Nintendo and Valve. There is no reason to get a PlayStation or Xbox with Switch 2 exists and Steam Deck will exist.

>>725013435
Nintendo did their own thing, Valve did their own thing, both simply let Sony and Microsoft have a pissing contest while not getting involved after major failures during the 8th generation. After both blew their load, now Sony and Microsoft must make ends meet by porting their games everywhere else. They also want to challenge Nintendo in Japan and Valve in America which makes no sense and will backfire hard.

yes real computers won decades ago. the only remaining excuse for proprietary hardware just for gaming was handhelds (thus nintendo being the last holdout) but even that is slipping.

You should know better than to post this when we got official numbers from Nintendo: 4.54 million for the July-September quarter.
According to VGShartz Switch 2 did:
>July 1.635.800
>August 1.125.500
>September 1.095.200
3.856.500 total. They were off by 683.500.
I'll do the comparison next week as well when Sony posts their numbers.

is there anyway for Sony or microsoft to return to "put disc in, play game without installing"

>>725016069
>they didn't win they just found a way to perform better than the competition
that's called winning retard

>>725013435
Nintendo won by default because every other company just voluntarily exited the race.
Even as a childhood Nintendofag, I find this vaguely disappointing. I own a PS5, and I would much rather Sony were firing on all cylinders and pumping out constant good games (which they could do, and just don't want to).
Nintendo's current game output is like fine. It's no better than it was during the GC era, really. Maybe a little worse, even.

>>725013339 (OP)
Everyone killed themselves following the same path while Nintendo took an alternate path and found much more success.

honestly the most important strategy Nintendo has is that they have a steady stream of releases every year
Nintendo manages to pump out 4-5 exclusives for the Switch every year while Sony and Microsoft barely release 2 for their respective consoles

because /v/ is overwhelmingly a snoyboard, and of course so is the wider internet so it gets buried because it looks bad.

Same as it ever was.

I don't care. It's not fun. RDR became THE Rockstar franchise, and even that isn't that good.
If you want a cool playable crime drama, Yakuza has destroyed GTA several times over.
Just because people are slow on the uptake doesn't mean GTA isn't antiquated grandpa shit from the PS2 era, when people were still impressed that you could walk around a world, and the main competition at that point was Banjo Kazooie and Lego Island.

>>725017620

They let off the gas pedal during the latter half of the 360 to make Kinect shit. They double down during the Xbone era and when they realized it was a flop, they had no studios to make proper games. They started to buy studios in the later years of the Xbone but by that point it was too late to correct course. People had already built a digital library on their preferred console, and the Switch 1 took off in popularity. Xbox was left with no audience.

>>725016342

Xbox and Sony would have been fine if they just kept their exclusives not timed. FF16, Spiderman 2, God of war, ghost of tushima, last of us. This all has to stay permantley exclusive or whats the point?

>>725018316
I'm not sure what you're trying to convey here.
Should I be surprised that Steam has more active players when it's on a PC, something that is owned by a significantly larger amount of people compared to the Switch 1?

>>725018405
Keep exclusives and find a way to stop spending so much on the games.
Fortnite really was the golden goose they wanted to replicate.
