Hopefully these get released on Switch and Playstation, along with Age of Empires. There’s a severe lack of good RTS games on both those platforms.
You certainly live up to your name.
That’s cute that you think that.
Also, they released the Horizon FW Burning Shores DLC around the same time as Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
You sound like a bot. I don’t see the point of comparing a 200 dollar portable streaming device to a 500 dollar gaming console, especially considering this article isn’t Xbox related.
Also, the so-called success of the Portal is greatly exaggerated. From the numbers I’ve seen, the Portal has only sold around a million units worldwide, if even that. That’s not a great number. That means around 59 million PS5 owners worldwide said no thanks to this borderline useless device.
I...
Is there a point to this comparison?
I’m guessing a fair portion of that was the money they spent purchasing the studio that developed the game.

I didn’t mean that Switch has been ignored in terms of sales. That’s obviously not the case. I just meant that whenever I see arguments or discussions going on about console gaming, people are often hyper-focused on Sony and Microsoft, but Nintendo is often times left out of the conversation as if they’re not a factor or that they don’t really count.
@jznrpg
Not really. Nintendo’s output has been consistently strong every year since its release. Although some of their games are priced too high, specifically the ports and remasters.
Only if you ignore Nintendo, which a lot of people seem to do for some reason. The Switch has had a lot of great games throughout its lifecycle.
That dude was an obnoxious Sony shill.
I’m aware of why Nintendo’s hardware is inexpensive. I’m fine with it as long as it’s affordable and still offers a reasonable amount of power for what I’m paying. If I cared about cutting-edge tech, I’d game on PC instead of consoles.
Except I don’t view the PS5 Pro as a “Lexus”. I just see it as what the PS5 base model would have been had it released this year instead of 2020. That’s how I viewed PS4 Pro also, and that launched at the same price as the base model, which made sense at the time. PS5 Pro is indicating to me that PS6 will likely be $700 or very close, and I find that unacceptable for a console.
This is my primary concern with the PS5 Pro. If this is $700, PS6 will likely cost the same. I doubt it’ll be less. The main appeal of console gaming is affordability. If Playstation goes this route of no longer being affordable, I’ll just stick with Nintendo for console gaming. Nintendo does over-charge for some of their games, but at least their hardware is always priced reasonably.
Because the PS4 Pro launched at $400, the same price as the base model when that launched. The PS5 Pro is $300 more than the base digital-only model when that launched.

Okay bot. Thanks for chiming in.
The bots on the YouTube world premiere video seem to love it. Can’t wait!
Was it broken to begin with?
I’m hoping Nintendo will offer a console-only variant of Switch 2 with a bit extra power and a budget price, which would be feasible since it wouldn’t require a screen or battery.
It’s one of the best platformers ever made, and it has one of gaming’s finest soundtracks.
