This is its 5th year.
Tbh, wargroove scratched that advance wars itch real good. Currently, I only play old games and monster hunter rise on my Switch.
On the Switch, I am most looking forward to Mario Golf, more old games (Skyward Sword, Legend of Mana), and Project Triangle.
Bravely Default 2 is still on my wish list, but I got a bunch of final fantasy games to get through first.
After some digging, it looks like the series started off worse than xbox one, but eventually surpassed it in launch aligned sales. The xbox one sales dropped pretty hard pretty fast.
That's weird how the Series is keeping pace with the Switch. Isn't the Series behind Xbox one? Does that mean that Switch's first 25 weeks are barely better (or possibly even worse) than the xbox one?
Honestly, both Sony and Microsoft should continue to do this until supply is no longer constrained. Get your consoles in the hands of people who plan on actually buying software for them.
As long as people are still being born, people will still be playing minecraft.
He literally points out in the article that better options are available if you want to spend $500+.
The author might own every console (and PC). Don't see what that has to do with the article talking about why series S could be a good deal for some people.
Agreed. Series S is fine as a 2nd console for Microsoft exclusives / Gamepass.
Good luck finding a pc that can run games at 60fps for $300.

I think we agree with each other on that point. Cross play is good, cross buy / cross progression may or may not be depending on the details.
@RauLeCreuset
"That's incorrect. As clearly indicated by the documents and confirmed by Epic, Sony had to be compensated because they stood to lose revenue from the deal."
That's not cross play. That's cross buy, which is a whole separate thing. Sony was concerned about people buying things on one platform and using them on another. That's completely different from someone buying things on one platform and playing with someone on...
Sony's onboard with it now (as they should be). There's no longer a reason to play defense on their behalf (or offense on someone else's). Cross play is an option that benefits gamers. Period. It is most beneficial for indie games which will have smaller communities. Less beneficial for AAA games which tend to have a large enough user base regardless of platform.
I also didn't care about 4k 15 years ago. Does that mean that we still shouldn't care about 4k? Should we just keep doing everything like we always did? I wrote down passwords for plenty of games back in the day, I didn't need any system memory to remember the last thing I did. If I accidentally wrote O as 0, then I would just start over. Times change, quality of life improves. There are no negatives to cross platform play (as long as you can choose not to use it), so why not?
You avoided my question. You claim that people are new to the genre to want the ability to suspend their game. What game do you know of in the genre that doesn't allow suspending your game?
The last rogue lite without a save and quit option was how many decades ago? Not dark / demon souls, not Hades, not Dead cells, not slay the spire. All of those had a suspend option. What games in this genre are you referring to?
@Buffig, as an investor the exact number sold of a console doesn't matter.
Suppose company A is worth 1 mil and only manages to sell 100 units annually.
Company B is worth 1 bil and sells a mil units annually.
Investor 1 puts a 10k investment into company A.
Investor 2 puts a 10k investment into company B.
Company A doubles their output and effectively doubles the value of their company to 2 mil.
Investo...
I'm not sure what's more impressive, that you bought all of those games or that you took the time to count them.
Everything is relative. Percentages are numbers. They are not ploys. They don't tell lies. Xbox sales are up 200%+ year over year. Xbox series consoles are selling ~50% of what the Ps5 consoles are selling. These are all facts, not ploys.
As an investor, you want to see growth. It's doesn't matter if your company is selling better than some other company. All that matters is that the $ you invested in that company is worth more than it was the year before.
I just did it within the past month... I don't stack 3 years though. I only do one at a time.
