Or asking why handheld console sales are being compared to home console sales? Nintendo have gone from having two consoles to one console, ditching a pure handheld console. I like the Switch, only play it docked, so as a handheld it’s dead. It’s not a new concept either. The SEGA Nomad and PSP could be played on a TV all those years ago.
Spot on. Basically, gamers who kept up to date with news.
Or just pick them up for peanuts if you’ve never played them before.
You mean celebrates at the £50+ price tag? Played them all. This is a no brainer.
I still don’t understand the confusion between Wii and Wii U. No confusion going from DS to 3DS. NES to Super NES. PlayStation 2 to PlayStation 3. Xbox to Xbox 360. I’d say the most confusion was the amount of Xbox One consoles Microsoft released. Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X. Sort of followed on with Xbox Series X and Series S. Game Boy to Game Boy Pocket to Game Boy Color, even the Super Game Boy for the Super Nintendo. I can remember Nintendo advertising the Wii U and l understood w...
Microsoft buys Activision for $70 billion, yet PlayStation owners think Call of Duty etc. will continue on PS5. The plug will be pulled soon, including Call of Duty back catalogue.
The game was a bad idea and pants.
After GTA 5, what has Rockstar released other than Red Dead 2?
Not forgetting 32X CD games. Four formats makes you wonder what was going on at SEGA, plus the Neptune console which l think was two formats playing Mega Drive and 32X carts, but no CD drive. Then out pops the Saturn. Strange times.
It’s been going on for years because people are willing to pay into it. GTA Trilogy for £50 just isn’t a bargain.
After GTA 5, that was it from Rockstar. It’s as though they ran out of cash and had to keep painfully squeezing out GTA 5, then out pops GTA Trilogy and now GTA 4. GTA 5 on PS5 and Series X is a bigger joke than April Fools. Bully was a bit rubbish to be honest. How about a new Smuggler’s Run or Manhunt? Maybe not a new Midnight Club. Same sort of situation with Sony, who keep releasing games that involve running about. Uncharted, Last of Us, Astrobot, Days Gone, Horizon Dawn and Sackboy. And...
Nintendo's handhelds always do well, plus Nintendo pulled out of the 'home console' market after the Wii U disaster. Going from two consoles to one, there's obviously going to be a big gap with sales figures against last gen.
The tech is always going to give us top graphics. Most gamers these days are clinically obsessed with graphics over game play. Too many times this has happened and we all know that. Probably the same sort of thing as the last game.
I can’t recall any glitches with the original games on PS2. And back then, no bug fixes. All these years on, there’s numerous niggles. Game testing has been buckled for years. Release game buckled, throw out the fixes, nobody’s bothered other than the consumer.
It’s laughable that this can sell for £50 tops in the UK. Finished GTA 3 and Vice City on PS2 all those years ago, but not San Andreas. The graphics comparison against the original versions on PS2 made me chuckle, right down to missing grass and bushes etc. Bugs and fixes aside, it’s a £29.99 or less game. But as per usual, enough idiots will pay it, which is why PS5 games sell for £70+ and even PS4 games have risen by £10 from £50 to £60.
Too much same old, same old down at Nintendo. Still no Wave Race, Pilotwings, Stunt Race or F-Zero. Thinking back to N64, Snowboard Kidz, Blastcorps, 1080 Snowboarding etc.
Am l missing something? Home console sales versus handheld console sales. PS5 versus Switch. The Switch is a handheld that can be played on a TV. That was possible with the SEGA Nomad and PSP years ago.
What’s the point if you always play docked?
Snowboard Kidz, Wipeout 64, Blastcorps, Pilotwings 64. There wasn’t a lot of games on N64, so not many top games. Jetforce Gemini?
But the Switch is two consoles in one. But there was the Super Game Boy for the SNES. Still, l don’t see how there’s a connection between the Game Boy and Switch. Only the fact that they’re both Nintendo consoles and have their respective sales figures being different types of consoles.
