As a Switch owner, I'm happy for Nintendo. It is a great system and I hope it keeps selling well.
However, there's tons of gamers without a Switch therefore making it an easier sell than a PS4 or an Xbox One.
The PS4 is already at 70M+ units sold...and they haven't even dropped the price to $199 (permanently).
It is troublesome that the Xbox One X seems to have mostly disappeared....no one seems to be talking about it anymor...
I hope both Sony and Microsoft wait until they can offer substantial improvements.
Slightly better resolutions and framerates are not a good reason to upgrade.
For me, Horizon : Zero Dawn was that "shit, this couldn't be done on PS3".
The XBOX One X doesn't have that yet...and arguably never will. (As a Pro owner, I feel the same way about it).
Happy to wait 3 years for the next gen.
Certainly it will have the biggest number of quality console exclusives: God of War, Spiderman, Detroit, No no Kuni, Shenmue 3....not to mention VR.
Nintendo will fight back with games like Yoshi and Kirby and if we are lucky, Metroid Prime and Pokemon.
Microsoft....Sea of Thieves and Crackdown? #hellno
I could see it but not so sure about Metroid Prime 4.
I guess it could be a Wii U game that got ported over to the Switch.
Pikmin 4 may also be just about ready by now based on Miyamoto's past comments.
Beyond sold on this one....also releasing for $39
I love Nintendo and my Switch but those deals are terrible 😏
Check the PSN:
$20: Doom, Horizon:Zero Down or Skyrim
$30: Wolfenstein II or Persona 5
$7: 3 Uncharted game bundle
Meanwhile at the eShop you can buy 1-2 Switch for $39.
Understandable for a new system. However, consumers will have to choose between:
A) $499 Xbox one X
B) $499 PS4 and PSVR
C) $499 PS4 and Switch
And Sony hasn't even mentioned any PRO discounts....they could easily drop the price to $299 making it $200 cheaper than the X.
A niche product that keeps getting "nicher"....all the hype is about better textures and none about better exclusives.
It's sad....but they've lied too many times saying they will "focus on quality over quantity".
Sonic team is not what it used to be 😒
I wonder how Horizon, The Last of Us 2, Uncharted 4, God of War, Detroit, Ghost of Tsushima, etc. run on the Xbox X.
Oh wait....they are PS4 exclusive so they won't 😉
Enjoy your slightly better shadows and textures while you miss out on the best exclusives.
Has Nintendo ever done a remake?
They do re-releases all the time...but I don't think they are fans of revamping classics.
Hoping for a Batman style level of quality....I would totally buy them.
I just hope they realize the Harry Potter universe is not going anywhere so no need for a crappy, rushed release.
Take your time....get it right.
I think the "exclusives" situation got worse for Microsoft with the Switch having the two highest rated games this year (Zelda and Mario).
They not run in hardware that is way weaker, so suddenly obsession over specs and resolutions feels irrelevant to many gamers.
Just got mine from GameStop.
$39 feels like the right price for PSPlus...specially since the "free" games have been hit or miss lately.
I RAN and got it this time! My subscription had just expired last month.
I was in no rush since November's games are kinda crap...$39 is a good price though.
Yikes.
I guess Microsoft will stop trying to make fetch happen.
They seemed pretty confident this could be a great platform game. Specially sad since they own #_@-$ Rare!
So excited about this....it just looks like a perfect fit for VR.
The Battlefront VR mission was surprisingly good too (but very short).
Between this and the 60 second demo.....looks like it might be a mess.
Releasing 2 weeks after Mario Odyssey is not wise either.
Blew me away.
Honestly way more excited than if it had been a new Infamous.
This feels like a next gen Onimusha 😍
Sony is on fire....hopefully this game won't take 4 years to release.
Honestly curious how Microsoft will counter this....certainly not with higher resolution multiplatform titles.
It was a huge mistake for her joining EA and now she is realizing that.
Whatever creative freedom they offered her was all lies.
