Well let me stop you right here and just inform you that if you want to sell something, you have to have something available to sell...

Still the PS2 by the way, also switch exclusives are fucking dog shit what the fuck is this lmfao

The clock is ticking. Unless sony sells 10 million PS2s in Zimbabwe

they successfully predicted that Tylenol would cause mass autism and made games targetting children who'd still want to play the same game as fully grown men.

>>725397205
Maybe another price increase will save the switch from irrelevance, the library sure won't lmfao

>>725396917 (OP)
Switch 1 is cratering too soon to beat the PS2. Even if it does reach it Sony will just magically discover 10 million more units hidden in Nicaragua.

>wtf are these toys? games? where are the MOVIES!!??

They've got a broad list of ips both popular and lesser known. Additionaly some of their past systems had niche games like Trauma Center, Drawn To Life, TWEWY to name a few.

>>725397670
From wikipedia. I'm agreeing with you for the record.

the complete list of PS5 exclusives isn't even as long as one letter in the Switch list lmao

The reason their employees are respected is because they're capitalists, not whatever the fuck commie bullshit all these other corporations are.

The reason they make so much money is twofold. One, they're smart. Two, they make quality art.

The reason their games are so high rated is because Nintendo is always innovating. Everyone else is just trying to sell you movies for 80 bucks.

>>725397496
Doggie Ninja? How's that one?

>>725398062
>Nintendo is always innovating.
they added building to zelda, equipment and skill trees to donkey kong, and an open world to mario kart. they're trendchasing.

>gameplay first
even when you do a presentation for them, you have to come in with a gameplay prototype inside of storyboards or design documents

>>725397496
pathetic desu

>>725397526
It already beat the PS2 in units sold, same with the DS. Sony's 160m number is the number of PS2 units manufactured, not sold.

>>725398131
>they added building to zelda, equipment and skill trees to donkey kong, and an open world to mario kart. they're trendchasing.

Ignores mechanics such as recall and ascend. Ignores the terrain destruction and puzzle design, and ignores the rail grinding. Why does everyone have nintendo derrangement syndrome.

>>725396917 (OP)
Their competition is Sony and Microsoft, they're masters of fucking shit up

their competition is utterly retarded. Autogynephil spencer spent the last decade actively destroying the xbox brand while jim ryan fucked playstation for half a decade which has yet to recover

>>725398481
because they don't actually play games, they don't know anything about GAMEPLAY

snoys already seething

>>725398481
You also clearly haven't played the game yourself or even seen any gameplay if you think the building in Tears is anything like the rigid legoshit building in other games.

>>725397496
>Maybe another price increase
There would have to be a first for there to be another.

>>725398481
Wow, I can't believe Nintendo invented rail grinding. Should they sue Tony Hawk next? Maybe Jet Grind Radio and Sonic too?

Good games, Good console.

>>725398613
>other games have done all of things ages ago you fucking putz.

Ok show me games with recall, ascend and ultrahand all intertwined with each other. Same with platforming with destruction based voxel level design. You cant be this retarded. NDS is on full effect

Show me another kart racer with this mechanic. You cant be this retarded anon

Doesn't even have a wikipedia page, so it's just here to fill out the library. It's the same if someone counted Grand Prix Challenge as a PS2 exclusive. Sure I guess it is, but who cares?

Why are you so pathetic?

>>725398961
no anon *smacks lips* you see, other completely unrelated games had "rail grinding" so *hiccup* that means we have to discount when Nintendo melds it with another genre in a bout of *hiccup* innovation rarely seen in this *cough* industry.

C'mon I usually like Nintendo but you're being crazy right now, especially Nintendo in 2025.
They're smart at making money in that they realize you have to make games, but those games have to be profitable. Therefor their games are low cost and efficient. It's really not that great of quality.
>The reason their games are so high rated is because Nintendo is always innovating.
Eh...Oddly enough MKW got rated poorly and innovated with the world/interconnectivity aspect (I liked it) but was received poorly because people didn't like the gameplay.
I don't think Bonanza innovated anything really and was rated more highly (I think it's fucking lame) and people are praising the gameplay.
Historically their top rated games (DKC series, ALttP/OoT, Smash) all follow their own formula.

>>725398898
>What games have recall and ascend?
No point of interacting with them anon. They have full blown NDS

>>725396917 (OP)
Not reading all of that but ok

Flagrant fanboy thread

>>725399221
>but was received poorly because people didn't like the gameplay
The gameplay was one of the most beloved aspects of that game, retard.

Ok so two BIG reasons are

1) Employees tend to stay forever. Not just the old dogs like miyamoto but younger gens too. This means experience in what is fun and engaging is retained in the company culture and offerings

remember our corporate mission is creating smiles through entertainment

2) we have a bible of gameplay techniques and ideas that is easily searchable. Ideas that don't make the cut in one game go in the bible for later games. A lot of warioware came from offcuts from this

Basically games are information artefacts and nintendos culture builds on decades of layers of understanding whats fun

>>725401408
Nintendo is where interesting careers go to die and they are remolded into unimaginative slop farmers.

>>725398886
>it doesn't count because it's not all at the same time
You're an idiot. Turning a random already existing game into a roguelike isn't being innovative, it's trend chasing all the other roguelikes. It's the same concept.

>>725398898
>recall
Braid.

>Ascend
It's just passwall from games like DCSS or NWN but vertically instead of horizontally. It's legitimately a D&D ability.

>Ultrahand
Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts.

Hiding behind "NDS" because you've played 30 games in your life is pathetic.

>>725403197
> It's just passwall from games like DCSS or NWN but vertically instead of horizontally. It's legitimately a D&D ability

brainlet take. Ascend being vertical is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to horizontal due to
1) defying gravity makes it part of climbing mini game
2) it has reach limits that make it fun / strategic use
3) it needs a certain level of flatness to work

you onviously haven't spent much time thinking about videogames, what an amateur freak

>>725398761
They just increased the price of the switch 1 though

>>725403742
It's legitimately the same mechanic but with a shine spark upwards. Going through opposite sides of surfaces is nothing new. Please play more CRPGs, they're a good genre of games and there are no shortage of them on the Switch 1.

>>725398272
Crazy how some game companies can just hear a storyboard for a plot, ask no questions about how it will play, and just write a blank check. You can tell so many of them would rather just be in Hollywood greenlighting some dogshit movie

>>725404431
Seriously though. Why are they this lenient about it? It’s why the train wreck that tlou2 was happened and concord as well.

>>725404420
you have not addressed point 1

>>725396917 (OP)
Lots of retards that like dogshit games. Im sorry but nintendo first party games never excited me or looked appealing.

>>725404601
A horizontal shmup and a vertical shmup are still both shmups bro. The verticality doesn't make the mechanic any different fundamentally. It's passwall.

>>725404172
...only in the US due to tariffs. Price remains the same on the rest of the planet.

And if it's tariffs then it's not really Nintendo that raised the price, rather it's the US government that did.

lotta seething vegans in this thread, the red logo must really trigger their npc programming

I have ndf cultist fatigue

>>725404783
Excuses excuses. It happened. It had a first price jump, which anon up there said didnt happen.

>>725404601
>you have not addressed point 1
Dont bother anon hes a bit retarded. He has failed to understand and grasp basic understanding of gameplay design, mechanics and logic

>>725396917 (OP)
what's the point if no games?

>>725396917 (OP)
>How do they fucking do it?
They're a real video game company that focuses on games, not a tech conglomo like Sony and M$ that only uses games to push DVD/BluRay/DirectX, never chased graphics or AAA moviegames or GaaS slop and burnt hundreds of millions on slop like Concord to result in the layoffs you see everywhere else, and they still have good and worthwhile exclusives while XBox is dead and Sony is just a PC pipeline
You don't have to be a fan of their games or like them but the business logic is clear and obvious: it's the video game market, not movies and entertainment and other crap, and they make good video games.

How does PlayStation sell over 100m lifetime every generation nearly if games are what sells consoles though? It’s really more about being pushing and innovative technology than anything.

>>725408931
>How does PlayStation sell over 100m lifetime every generation nearly if games are what sells consoles though? It’s really more about being pushing and innovative technology than anything.

Sure I kinda agree but beyond hardware they have failed. Nintendo has made more money and sold more software than any other company in this industry by far and its not even close. They also have technically sold more hardware than any other company in this industry.

>>725408931
PSP and Vita?

>>725409226
>Nintendo has made more money
Does this make the games better? Are their games now better than they were 20 years ago? Do you gain anything by throating Nintendo's cock?

>>725408685
This really, really, really upset Nintendo fans for some reason.

>>725409525
Yeah, those were in generations that sold well over 100m

>>725409226
If Nintendo is that successful why isn’t gta 6 the biggest release ever going to be on the switch 2?

>>725408685
>Only chose to update PS2's sales
Not very subtle

>>725408685
Remember that every single PS2 ever made was sold and none were lost or had to be replaced. If you ask questions you're a ninfag

>>725396917 (OP)
shareholder thread. ignore and hide

>>725408931
>How does PlayStation sell over 100m lifetime every generation
It doesn't, PS3 and PS5 did/have not cracked 100m, which is not surprising given how expensive they both are/were
>It’s really more about being pushing and innovative technology than anything.
If this were true the PS3 would have won the 7th gen with the most sales but it didn't; the Wii sold the most (>100m to PS3's 87.5m), being much weaker without a BluRay player.
Also the PS5 acquisition rate has been atrocious this gen, only earlier this year did the PS5 surpass PS4, after five years on the market, picrel.
Investing purely in technology and graphics is just diminishing returns and is worthless without good games and game design; this is why Sony typically sells consoles at losses too.

>>725411057
The ps5 is guaranteed to go well past 100m sold lifetime though.


And yes, the Wii outsold both, because it was more pushing for gaming as a whole and offered a lot of new ways to enjoy games which hadn’t been seen before. It was a pushing piece of technology.

>>725404783
They could have just ate the cost. The Switch is almost 9 years old and should have had a price drop by now anyway

>>725411310
>It was a pushing piece of technology.
Yes the motion controls were innovative so it's not like innovation isn't important at all, I will give you that, but it was in pursuit of better and fun gaming (Wii Sports being a historical best seller) not just pure graphics and photorealism, and many at the time mocked the Wii for being weak in specs and "wagglan". I'm all for tech innovation but games and gameplay first is the critical thing.

>>725411948
Let’s be real here too, the ps2 mostly had what would be multiplats and third party carried it hard. It sold 160m and still hasn’t been beaten. And a lot of those games were graphically and physically pushing for the time. They’re not what you would call very fun.


It’s a mixed bag of reasons as to why consoles do well I guess.

>>725398062
>The reason their employees are respected is because they're capitalists
Correct by fleecing and fucking over their customer base because they let them do it. Glad that was established

>>725396917 (OP)
The upper level of Nintendo aren't greedy parasites who just want to extract as much as they can out of the creative talent, unlike practically every other video game company, especially western companies. That allows them to reinvest in new projects and provide good work conditions.

>>725396917 (OP)
I dunno, i'm just not feelin it from them this gen.
ToTK was pretty fun but they haven't announced anything since that's interested me.

>>725414564
>We are selling Thing at Price
>>I agree to buy Thing at Price

I'm sorry, I forgot there was somebody else I was supposed to ask

Excellent. Glad that tendies are basically just another version of undertale/deltarune trannies, where they don't play any other games other than what their dev/company hands to them and can't possibly fathom mechanics/gameplay from those games being an inspiration from or in anything else that came before. Will be filtering Nintendo on this board from now on
