All the more to make consoles last longer. This gen has been a whitewash, more so Xbox Series X. Did Microsoft forget the games? This gen consoles should be releasing this year. The PS4 and Xbox One still had a lot to offer.
Latest Zelda as Game of the Year? A game that carries on from Breath of the Wild that was a Wii U port. AAA games dried up on PS4 and Xbox One and nothing has changed since PS5 and Xbox Series X. Xbox Series X has been dead since launch. If there’s nothing out there that can beat Breath of the Wild and it’s sequel, it proves how staggered the gaming industry is.
A PS5 with VR, memory upgrade and a few games will now set you back an eye watering £1,700+.
You then have to think, the Wii was a huge success for Nintendo, but not the Wii U. Nintendo are walking on thin ice with Switch 2. My Switch is always docked. How about a console and a handheld? I have to buy a handheld to play games on a TV.
Home console? The Switch is a handheld that plugs into a TV. Same can be said for the SEGA Nomad and Sony PSP, other than the fact they didn't have a docking unit.
Sony could launch a console with no games and it'd still sell out week in, week out. You'd have to be clinically obsessed with PlayStation to buy this.
But this gen has been poor, more so Xbox. What was anyone expecting here? These consoles have been out a while not and we may as well made do with PS4 and Xbox One for a few more years. After PS3 and XBox 360, It's was downhill. By the time we get going with PS5 and Xbox Series X, they'll be tipping 5 years old, then the same console launch milarky all over again.
Same old from Sony. Turismo and games in which you have to run about here and there. Spider-Man, Horizon Dawn, The Last of Us, God of War, Uncharted, Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima and Sackboy. Driveclub was run over and there was never a sequel, but a PS5 version with extra bells and whistles would've been a belter. Plenty of other run about here and there games on PS4 and PS5 over the years and even on PS and PS2. After PS3 and Xbox 360, no console generation has come close.
Oldest debate in gaming. Mega Drive games back in 1990 sold for £50 tops, import Mega drive games well over that. Nintendo 64 games topping £70 and that was from the mid to late 1990s. Switch games for £60 is Nintendo having a laugh, although Nintendo are banned in the UK for setting prices. If Nintendo raises the unit price, retailers put the price up. But the idiots are the people who pay these prices. One guy in Canada on here said he $90 for the latest Zelda. Games a...
But Microsoft forgot the games.
Switch games are hitting £60 in the UK from £50, but are dropping. £40 for a game is pushing it. Money men and retailers will disagree hands down, but not game on the planet is worth more than £30.
For $80?
Not bad for a game that started on the Wii U. A Wii U port with a sequel that would hold out on a console that was released in 2012. Proves you can bang out games on tech for years. The Wii U didn't last long, but how many Switch games would run on Wii U. Give me the games. Plenty of Nintendo games out there that're overdue a sequel. SEGA could do better on the Switch. Again, plenty of games overdue a sequel. I don't care about tech these days.
Find it hard to believe those numbers. I'm 47 years old and I've worn tired of racing games. I'm more into arcade racers which you don't see much these days. And I dropped off years ago with rally and F1 racers. I wouldn't mind Ridge Racer and some of SEGA's racers making a comeback. A new Outrun, Wave Race, Stunt Race FX, Road Rash, Project Gotham, Shox to name a few. Top 3 would be Wave Race, Outrun and Project Gotham. Same old tracks with Turismo and Forza. ...
I thought it was a bit cheap looking and the inside padding peeled.
£60 Switch games = more people buy used.
At that price, it'll sell painfully slow.
And a much cheaper price.
Had to pass on the price. Watched a few vids on YouTube, headset looks the same quality as the PS4 VR, but not sure if the padding inside peels like the PS4 VR padding. Game releases are a bit poor at the moment and PS4 VR games don't work with it, which I think is crap. Still, it's not affordable for me right now.
Once gaming goes all digital, I'm out. I can't afford games at launch and more so all deluxe editions selling at eye popping prices. The gaming industry is digging itself into a death pit.
