CRank: 5Score: 85750

I haven't seen the hype. At all.
outside the fans on this site I've not seen a single mention, and working in retail I've not heard a single person going "I'm eagerly anticipating the 1x"
We are going see this thing fail. Look at the buying patterns of the PS4PRO when it is only 100 more, now add another 100 on top of that, yeah it is gunna flop hard.
It won't bring in more than 1000 new gamers, and might sell a million or 2 to people...

It looks better than Xcom2 which was originally claimed to be too demanding even for the PS4 (they later changed their tune and released on consoles, but still looks worse than Mario+)
This game is what sold me on the Switch and am really looking forward to both it and Golf Story.

xbox will end up in last place, not first if they don't do something drastic (selling us a new box that plays the same couple games is not drastic)
my guess where numbers will stand in 2022 (when they will most likely stop manufacturing ps4 and x1s)
PS4 125mil
Switch 60mil
xbox1 50mil

So if you buy a Switch do you have to sell off your PS4? No you don't, so play them on that. Who honestly still lives in a 1 console world, I can understand choosing between xbox and Ps4, because they are essentially the same system, just one has exclusives that appeal to more than shooter fans. Nintendo is a system to play NINTENDO games on. The portability would make it fun to take more game experiences on the go with, but that is on the 3rd party companies and not nintendo, If third pa...

Im not saying that, but the priorities are out of whack, look at Crash Bandicoot. It is selling like crazy. There is a definite move back towards the old ideals that has been going on, starting with the Indies 6-7 years ago and the Switch really embraces that, that is why I think it will continue to sell great.
With that said I enjoy my PS4, and from time to time find more realistic games that I enjoy, most of which aren't due to the graphics, instead story and world exploration...

Yes it does. If they were to release a system on par with the sp4 it probably would be at least 500$ instead of 300.
It isn't their priority, nor should it be yours. Graphics don't matter. Zelda is better than any game released on xbox for sure, and even with the very best on ps4 if not better than that too.
This focus on graphics above all else is what leads to so many boring copy paste games, like the COD franchise that think innovation is just a few more pixels o...

I think with the push of power that really started with moving into 3d we slowly started losing a bit of what made gaming fun. Look at the ORDER 1844 or whatever it was called, still probably the best looking game but it has already been forgotten, Whereas Little Big Planet is still beloved.
The Switch realizes this, or maybe Nintendo always knew and it took gamers finally being at a point where we could embrace games for the fun of gaming and not for trying to recreate reality. Ind...

It looks so much better than xcom. I'm just hoping it has a bit more variety in missions like Xcom with escort missions etc.
But from what I've seen the game looks amazing.

Id happily buy one but i know i neverwill. Even at 50$ i cant justify the price when literally the only 2 exclusives it has that look interesting to me are sunset overdrive and we happy few. 2 games in 4 yeArs. Switch beat that in 4 months

Golf story. Looks like an old 16bit rpg. With golf.

Trashing games, calling them kiddy. Yet Zelda frustrated you. Oh poor baby needs his games to hold his hand with long tedious tutorial missions. Zelda is the perfect sandbox, if you are frustrated then it just shows you are not good at creative problem solving

1 so would you say the x1x is a better system than the ps2? A better experience?
2 ARE YOU 12? I say 12 instead of the normal 14 because even most 14yos don't bade whether something is cool on whether it's gory. I bet Saw 4 is the greatest movie ever
3 ps4 controller is the worst controller I've ever had. The switch controller is better in everyway. USB C charges fast. Better rumble. And is an earthworm, you cut it in half and it becomes 2
4 padding your...

The switch has features. Not gimmicks. Would you consider the ps4 having Netflix a gimmick?
Nintendo is the most straightforward of all 3. You stick a game in and you play. Your tv breKs, boom it still works. Keep playing.

It has a better controller in every way to the ps4, I love my ps4 but that lighbar is one of the worst design choices ever, I literally am ALWAYS having to rush to plug it in.

It has a much cleaner UI than either system, especially the Xbox which looks as disorganized as a cheap porn site with popups everywhere and have to dig through tons of junk to find what you want

Every system has its pros and cons, in both those respects the Switch is leaps and boun...

Pretty much non existent loading, at least in Zelda. It takes maybe 15seconds from picking up the system or a controller, and playing the game. There is also no loading except when you go into a trail, and that is maybe 5 seconds that is hidden in a animation of teleporting.
No matter what you say the system is wonderful, and it already has one of the best games ever made for it, and looking at its 1st year on the market it is the greatest 1st year of any system this gen or the last...

I don't game like I used to, no time. Most years I only buy 2 or 3 games total
August I'll be buying 3. Mario+rabbids golf story and everybody golf (Hot shots golf). Plus I only got a switch and Zelda last week. Have no idea how I'm gunna find time for all these great games

"Too weak" it is more than powerful enough to play every game it has released. Quit being a spec hipster, it is irevelant. Specs only matter in an argument about 3rd party games that never would of released anyways. If it wasn't the power, it would be the game5e cards. What I'm saying is look at it for what it is and quit wishing it was the ps4. There already IS a ps4

YOU ARE NOT THEIR AUDIENCE. They do give their fans what they are asking for, but they don't toss aside their personality and philosophy to chase after fickle COD and Battlefield gamers.
Even me not being a traditional Nintendo fan (haven't seriously played nintendo since the NES days) I find the system amazing. It is well crafted, it is powerful (Zelda looks beautiful, The only loading is about 10 seconds when starting a game or loading after you die. There is 0 slowdown) ...

Well worth the cost. Loving Zelda. Looking forward to mario+ and golf story in August.
You are getting a console and a portable for 300 dollars, as well as technically a second controller. That is an amazing value

The best selling xbox still lost to the worst selling playstation. Anyone who ever thinks xbox could win is living in a fantasy land
