I wait for the day that Microsoft announces that's it, no more Xbox console. Pop your games onto the PC, PS5 and Switch 2, then wait for PS6 and Switch 3. It makes sense, it's going to make them more money. I remember the generation that had 4 consoles, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox and GameCube, also the PC. We're never going to see a single format, although consoles these days are just PCs. Looking at the cost of the PS5 Pro, how much is the PS6 going to set us back? One less conso...
It was the best console for sport games by a long shot. Having a UK Mega Drive in 1991, playing US and Japanese games using a Honeybee adaptor was awesome. I think Europe only got around 250 games out of around 800 that got released.
Shenmue was unreal back in the day. It was painful waiting for the sequel and it perfectly carried on from the first game. Shenmue 3 on the PS4 looks like a Dreamcast game and carried on as if it was running on the Dreamcast. A Shenmue trilogy is overdue. Not sure if we’ll ever see Shenmue 4, but SEGA went with Yakuza, a Shenmue clone, which is probably why Shenmue was forgotten. If Shenmue had been ported to the PS2 after the Dreamcast dropped off, things may have been different.
If Nintendo re-released the Game Boy with a bigger, colour screen, it’d make a killing. Better still, a Game Boy legacy handheld with a 3D dual screen, able to play all games from Game Boy to 3DS, able to link it to a TV. It’ll never happen l know.
I was a bit gutted with The Division, too many bells and whistles like Far Cry. Never rated Prince of Persia or The Crew. Rayman, it’s too long in the tooth, lay it to rest.
I'm glad Phil is retiring. After the Xbox 360, Xbox died. The Xbox One and Xbox Series X did very little for me, but more so the Series X. This gen has been a whitewash for releases, but not so much for Switch. The best Microsoft can do now is forget about Xbox and pop games on PC, PlayStation and Switch 2.
Banging out old and new games then charging up to £70 and in some cases, over £70, it's no wonder game sales are at their lowest ever level and studios are closed down. Five minutes after the PS5 launched, the PS5 Pro was released, then there's talk about the PS6. Gaming is in one big mess and there's going to be a crash, the last one being in 1983, until Nintendo popped out the NES.
I agree. I got my PS5 at launch and the years have whizzed by. The PS4 is still out there and that's 12/13 years old.
The PS4 is still here 5 years after the PS5 launched, now with a lifespan of 12/13 years.
The current consoles are sufficient, the PS4 is still about 5 years after the PS5 launched, last gen consoles were replaced too early, knock out the next consoles in 2030. On another note, the cost of gaming now, next gen is going to buckle most gamers.
Mario Golf on the GameCube is still a legendary game, not so much any of the Mario Tennis games, Nintendo should've gone with a new golf game instead. Saying that, how about no Mario Golf or Mario Tennis and instead give the fans Wave Race and Pilotwings? Stunt Race FX, 1080 Snowboarding, F-Zero and a true sequel to Mario Kart 8.
Wasn't the Game Boy two Texas calculators stuck together? It didn't have the best screen, the Game Boy Pocket was too late and the Game Boy Color, Nintendo made the screen smaller. Nintendo has made plenty of strange decisions over the years. The only Nintendo handhelds I rate are the DS/3DS and Switch/Switch 2.
Has anyone read Game Over by David Sheff? Plenty of strange Nintendo things in that book.
He joined SEGA in 1971, wow. The Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast hold the best memories for me, more so the Mega Drive. Thanks for the memories, Hideki-sama.
Who's buying this on a Switch 2 keycard?

Xbox died after the Xbox 360. The Xbox One was mediocre, the Series X was game shy. I'm glad Phil is retiring.
