See you in 2 days to brag about 1 week sales Reggie!
I think you're missing the point you just made.. you needed to buy a screen protector to protect a device from it's own dock. That's outrageous. That's like buying a laptop and whenever you close the lid it scratches the screen. Want to know why literally no laptop has that issue? Because those companies give a damn about their product, it's design, and how it all works together.
Switch is a rushed product for literally no reason.. delay it a few m...
Having the extra $400 in my bank account is enough reason to be happy I didn't buy one.
An obvious cash grab, although those are some pretty great maps. It's a little frustrating that we got the first set of maps for free and these are being charged for. But I think people are overlooking the biggest problem this creates, which is dividing an already small subset of players. The only people who can play this game are the ones who spent $80 or $100.. so already it's a small number of players that choose MW over IW. Each time a map pack comes out, you get exclusive lob...
Scorpio isn't going to light the world on fire, just like the PS4 pro didn't post huge sales numbers. The market for 4K gaming is still very small. And while there's some performance gains to be had, I'd wager that most don't have a 4K tv right now. Phil Spencer has positioned the Scorpio as a premium offering for a small market share and the rest should buy an Xbox One S. Barring something completely unexpected, there'll be a noticeable lack of premium software to...
Power has little to do with it.. hence why the 360 was the preferred development platform over PS3 despite having inferior specs.. of course PS3 using the cell processor didn't help. But it's well documented that software drives hardware sales, and right now Sony is delivering an impressive lineup of exclusives.
Gamestop loves to cash in on supply issues by creating expensive bundles for their limited supply. Want a NES Classic? We're sold out, but we do have a bundle that includes controllers, a case, and a book for $120. Want an Xbox Elite Controller at launch? It's sold out, but we do offer a controller with a PowerA charge base for $200.
Classic Gamestop.
Feels like they're cashing in on the 'Anti-Infinite Warfare' sentiment. My friends and I play MW remastered, I'll be interested to see how they'll feel about this.
Solid points all around. 1-2 Switch needed to be bundled with the console to justify its existence. Joy-Con's have connection issues, size issues, and the charge grip should've been bundled with the console. The console price itself is high for what you get, which is a console with no games and a decent list of 'missing' features including Virtual console. The multiplayer system sounds half-baked at best.. who wants to use a handheld device/phone to party/talk with others ...
Not to mention Zelda is essentially the only AAA title that launched with it.. so of course it's the top selling game for the platform with a launch lineup of; Zelda, 1-2 switch, and a bunch of indie games.
Well PS2 is the best selling console, but whichever console one sees as the best is entirely subjective. This post is obviously clickbait.. the switch has pro's and con's like any console released and any yet to come.
I too can pick arbitrary numbers for system performance and release year.. I guess that makes all of us industry analysts. I refuse to click on this article, what a joke..
I think Nintendo telling customers that their defects aren't actually defects is poor customer service. Considering the people who got a Switch likely pre-ordered and dropped close to $400 USD (assuming they wanted a game with their system) and are their most loyal customers, you'd think a few damns would be given. Dead pixels gives the impression of a crappy display, and if it's a crappy display they need to honor the warranty if there's an issue.
I'l...
Even if Sony followed suit, the used game market will always exist due to choice and personal preferences unless both offer backwards compatibility for their entire catalog. There are older generation games that I've held on to because they're not part of the BC program and may never come to it like Project Gotham Racing 3. There's also games from publishers that have gone out of business/dissolved, or games that someone likes that aren't commercially successful/popular. <...
I think you're overlooking the best part of having a big game backlog.. you can get the games cheaper! By not buying into day 1 releases, you can sit back and wait for the price cut/discounts that occur weeks/months after release. It works especially well with Best Buy's gamer club as that discount doesn't expire like the Amazon Prime's 20% off pre-orders and new releases does. So once it drops to $40 in say 1-2 months, you stack your 20% off and get it for something like $...
There's also a noticeable lull once you make it to the Mexico portion.. so pretty understandable in that case. Then there's games like Assassins' Creed where finishing the story only gets you to 50-60% completion.. but that is a little different than walking away from the campaign.
Sony is trying to over-monetize their back catalog and pretend it's a solution to the customer feedback/requests for backwards compatibility. And while streaming games directly to a console sounds like the future, our American internet infrastructure needs to take a few leaps forward before we're at a point where a game can stream as well as it will play locally.. and corporate monopolies will ensure that happens as slowly as possible.
That said, backwards compatibility isn&...
I remember feeling very ripped off when I bought this game 6 years ago.. not going to make that mistake again. It's a very short, very easy game with no multiplayer. What it considered to be multiplayer is an Arcade Mode with scoring points for kills and a leaderboard. It was mildly funny but just rent the game if you have interest in playing it.. you'll be glad you did.
The only correct use of 'outdated' would be to point out the Switch is using outdated hardware, but Nintendo has never focused on graphical quality. Scorpio faces a pretty big hurdle though by targeting the 4k/HDR crowd with it's own higher-priced console. While it's not prohibitively expensive to get a 4k TV these days, it's also not commonplace and I can safely say most homes don't have a 4K TV. When you take into consideration that most broadcast TV is 1080i, you...
Japan has been essentially impossible for Microsoft to gain any traction in, especially when compared to Sony and Nintendo. I think they need to cut and run.. clearly they don't have a market there and getting a JRPG from a popular Japanese game dev isn't going to suddenly turn 2 decades of poor sales. And if someone in Japan wants to get an xbox, buy one online.. there's no region locks to worry about.
