You'd think not shifting the 3DS at $250 would teach them... but then we had 5 years of Wii U. 11 million units... in 5 years! 3DS was where their bread was buttered and that drove them to Switch things up. See what I did there? Anyway, if the Switch 2 jingles things up too much, there is no backstop for Nintendo they're all-in full-steam-ahead on Switch 2, no take backs, no do overs.
I'm seeing a lot of hate around the pricing and not a lot of laughing about th...
The company that makes them. Then you pay them back, but so we are clear... They have to pay first or you get nothing. Makes sense?
We tried to warn them with Wii U, but the NintenDIEHARDs didn't get the memo then, they won't get it now. Unfortunately for them the 3DS and Wii U both exposed just how irrelevant Nintendo really is in the global and Japanese gaming market. It's strange that they're expecting people to just take it this time. Maybe the people will?
Nintendo have hamstrung themselves by sticking to handhelds while simultaneously killing their handheld division with the launch of Switch in 2017. I'm guessing Switch 2 will perform well commercially speaking, but what if it doesn't? If this console fails there will be no Switch 3. Nintendo might make a normal console chasing tech or they might also have to go 3rd party. It's obviously way too soon to call that, of course Switch 2 isn't even on store shelves until June 5th. E...
How many games shown were worth fighting off viruses to get this on PC?
None, but that is just my opinion.

Yeah, I was expecting this to easily surpass the PS5 Gamestop story with 1000° in less than an hour, but it has yet to reach 500° two hours after the event ended.
Even your mighty GoG doesn't promise that you have perpetual access to your library.

While I agree... Aren't Christianity Catholicism and even Islam just reskinned Judaism? Those three are the majority religions of Earth. You can't go anywhere without running into someone who follows an Abrahamic religion.
That's because Xbox has no passion for games. Xbox only ever existed to beat PS. PS exists to stick it to Nintendo because of their betrayal. PS really wanted to improve technology and ganing as a medium. They did that and out sold Nintendo earning more revenue and selling more HW and SW for decades. Nintendo has more Switch's around today but they had a 3-year head start on PS5. This generation has been very messy as the value of upgrading came more than 3 years after PS5 (and XS:X/S...
This is the most honest and truthful take I've read up to this point. I miss the simpler SNES days. GBA with insanely long battery life a headset jack and decent graphics. I also opine for PSP era even though I was older. Man those were the days. It's strange because I don't really want the poorer visuals and weaker louder and less efficient tech. I just miss not knowing about any of the vitriol and having fun. The games I liked as a kid were hated by most or at least barely sold ...
Yup, it helps their MAU counts.
I feel similarly. The game is fun, but I don't see myself buying it again on PS5 if it's not on a disc.

If you picked them up via GamePass and never actually paid money for the core game license, then of course you can't see it in your MS or Xbox account anymore. What did you expect? I bought FH3, 4, and 5 on PC. The first two of those were removed from distribution but not from my Xbox account on PC because I paid to keep them. Obviously, in the ToS MS and Xbox can revoke access to these games and licenses, but this is part of the ToS for basically every publisher in...
PS Portal has already sold around 2 million units after launching Novemer 15th 2023. In 16 months PS Portal has sold around half of what is estimated for Steam Deck and our source for PS Portal unit sales is Sony.
I don't really trust The Verge either, but I'm guessing no one here wants to front the cash to pay IDC to give them the best estimates for Steam Deck numbers either.

Wrong! You can buy the Steam Deck new through Walmart.com even if its only available online to ship to your home. Walmart is a retailer.

I can stream games from my PC to my phone. If I owned a Backbone controller I could play many of my favorite PC games of the past 10 years on my much lighter phone the same way I can play PS5 games with the PS Portal (or with the same phone and controller in PS5's case).

Reduced FoV, lower resolution displays, no headset jack, worse looking games. The only pros of the Quest 3S are the price, absolute number of games available and being wireless.
No one is asking exactly what games will manage 1440p120 or 4K60? No one is asking why most of the trailers, including a couple from Nintendo first parties, didn't say they were running on real HW or even in-engine? Of the games they showed only Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza looked intriguing on a mechanical level. It's nice that Nintendo still has some creative spirit, but wheelchair the game and whatever is using the Nintendo EyeToy will clearly be a harder sell. And what...
