The X will do well, but no, $199 Vs $499 with the current game line up and the $299 switch in the mix. It is an uphill battle for MS, I do think they will fare much better in 2018 tho. 3rd party Devs and MS firsts party will start to show a real powers difference in hardware which could probably be beneficial to MS..we shall see.
We already knew this would happen, Nintendo is the world's best video game makers. Mario is in a league with characters like Mickey Mouse, we knew sales would be phenomenal.
As far as MS goes, when have Xbox ever been a major player/brand in Japan? Why are people gloating about low sales of the X? It always been that way lol.
Wasn't what, the switch best selling game for that month?
They possibly counted digital....or possibly said Mario was the Switche's best selling game. Nintendo is at the top of the list when talking honesty.
Once again, Nintendo the best video game makers on the planet did it again. This will continue for a long while. Thing is, we all knew the NPD would reflect exactly that, even the haters knew.
For sure Noveember is a shoe in, Mario:O was only available for like 4-5 days in Oct. Simply amazing!
The main difference seems to be color saturation.
Goty will be interesting for sure.
Nintendo, The worlds best Video game maker tops the charts again. The NPD will reflect the same. This will continue into the holidays for sure. There is no substitute for the flat out Joy of Nintendo made games. Sprinkle in tons of indies and some good AAA-non Nintendo games and you have delightful console/hybrid...simply amazing what they are doing with this system. It has been a long time since I had so many great/diverse games launching so frequently on any system. each week its like 10 g...
My sister(26) also bought a switch, she also has an Xbox one. The funny thing is that she has never bought a Nintendo system. The bog N is on to something big here. Switch is so awesome.
@ Eagle21, My wallet is complaining tho lol.
Portability is the best thing in gaming right now. 4K graphics while nice(I do love pretty things) don't change a damn thing feeling wise. Playing anywhere I want to with games to match and even surpass PS4, XONE is a blast! downtime at work? no problem, got a switch. Playing a game, gotta use the bathroom? Take the switch with me. Going on a long flight? All the movies suck? No problem I got a switch. Long wait in the doc office or the dmv? Switch got you covered with a great above servi...
Tons of games have been out for for 4 years and been on just as much platforms and don't even come close.
They continue to be the best at what they do, Create amazing games that anyone can have fun with.
Simply Phenomenal.
The Switch IS a game changer, while the concept is not new, the execution and ease of the system is very new. You can now play AAA video games absolutely anywhere, without latency issues, without having to have a wi-fi connection, touch screen functions and a mass array of controller styles. Then you can go home or to a friends house and continue the experience just like the competition..
PS4 is undeniably the best selling system atm. But people claimed the system is a game...
wrong post.
Yeah its better watching grown men rage at CoD../s. BTW, in my experience I have come across more KIDS playing the so called "Mature games" like CoD, Battlefield and Star wars. They cant curse correctly but they sure do try. They also form very insecure opinions like yours...Don't be ashamed of what you like man, or what other think of you..your entertainment standard is not what makes you a grown man, because a large majority would argue that playing ANY game is kiddie.
In your whole rant you forgot to mention some of the best games ever made until this day. I'm a gamer and they offer a wide variety of great games...isnt that the reason you buy GAME SYSTEM?
You can say the games may not be your cup of tea, but let's look at facts. They have the highest rated game ever created, they constantly have phenomenal sales with their IP, and even now have created mascots that only Disney can rival.
You can cherry pick the...
I though so as well, as much people out there that hate on the company, it's undeniable that they put out amazing, excellent quality games longer than any game maker in the industry.
Whenever Nintendo announces a new game or well know edition to their spectacular IPs..its never a question if it will be great..its just a question of what will they do new, and will we like it more than the last masterpiece they released. Never a question of quality tho.
Good to have the best game maker in the industry having success. Nintendo is timeless and the king of polished, fun and great looking games..they deliver such fun experiences time after time.
Lead by example, now com on 3rd party support, show us what you can do.
Well they took Crack Down back to the Drawing Board, I'm sure its to use the extra power from the X and bring it closer to the original vision.
But anyway, Are you implying that they will go a whole year without releasing any first party games? Look i'm not the biggest Xbox fan but lets be real. They have, Halo, Gears, Crack Down, SoT and the Forza franchises to work from. Notice I said 3rd Parties along with first parties, The big deal will be the 3rd parties usi...
