Elden Ring and Grand Theft Auto are overpriced and overrated.
Nah, just GTA is overpriced and overrated.
You’re thinking of God of War and Halo Whatever the new one’s name is
Gonna be funny when the Switch 2 comes out and demolishes the PS5 in short order.
The PS6 will be out within a couple of years of Switch 2 releasing. And Nintendo will be living off scraps yet again, as the power gap will be further widened. Nintendo dragged out the Switch life cycle way too long. Sure it’s sold well enough up until now, but they should have been looking at the bigger picture.
The Switch sold well because it was a novelty of having a very powerful handheld for once(though a weak home console), with the addition of TV out, again for the first time, as Nintendo’s home and handheld divisions have been consolidated.
If the competition have any sense, they’ll release a handheld version at least of their platforms. Look at Japan for example, it’s a handheld market, has been for some considerable time. Releasing home consoles only there is largely a waste of time.
Yeah because you know everything. What you’re confusing is what you personally think should’ve happened with reality. Some of us live in the latter but if it makes you feel superior keep believing your own ideas. Laughable that you still believe the ever decreasing power race is the way of the future.
It’s not about “power” in and of itself. Look at it this way. If we all have sticks and equal abilities, but my stick is bigger, harder, and cuts through the air better than everyone else’s, I’m gonna cause the most damage.
The Switch is no longer an oasis in the desert like it was in 2017. Hybrid console were not a “new” thing, but certainly never fleshed out as well as Nintendo did with the Switch, which is why it was successful. However, because of that success, we got the Steam Deck. Then we got the Ayaneo. Then we got the ROG Ally. Then we got the Legion Go, and we got a whole bunch of other legit hybrid console too numerous to mention here.
ALL of these are more powerful than the Switch and many people that are not Nintendo fans but were just attracted to the hybrid dynamic and gotten rid of their Switch to go buy one of those.
I say all that to say that even if you believe the best-case scenario of the rumored-specs of the next console, and then line it up side-by-side to all the hybrids that are on the market now, it’s still behind and all of the ones I mentioned have more powerful iterations on the way.
So, if all these other devices do the exact same thing the Switch does, but are substantially more powerful, if I’m not an Nintendo fan and don’t have any emotional connection to their IP, why am I buying a Switch 2?
Think about that……….
Dumbass woman hater.
If that’s why the Switch sold well then explain why the Vita and Game Gear lost to their less powerful Nintendo competitor handheld?
PS6 usnt going to be all that impressive because of the PS5 Pro.
||Well done, you just burned that scum with facts… ||
Europe has always been full of Sony Ponies…they have been Sony fanboys for generations.
I dont see Nintendo publishing games on Playstation, cope harder. :D
The Switch is a 9th generation console despite the unabashed ignorance of some that use “power-level” as a gauge for generations. Console generations are defined by successors, not power-levels. The Wii was only marginally more powerful than the GameCube, but no one considers the Wii to be a “6th” generation console.
I say all that to say that the Switch already “demolished” the PS5 and won the 9th generation. The next Nintendo console will be a 10th generation console and will be competing against the PS6. The magic formula that existed for the Switch is no longer in play. Hybrid consoles are not “blue ocean” anymore. Much due to the success of the Switch, now hybrid-consoles are “normal.” It wasn’t the games that put the Switch over. It was the the portability factor which is something no one else was offering, or if they were offering it they weren’t doing it well. Now you have a truck load of hybrid consoles out there and more on the way. ALL more powerful than the Switch and what the RUMORED specs of the next console is even in the most optimistic evaluation. More than likely the next console will be less powerful than the RUMORED specs, and if this thing has been done for 2 years before hit it store shelves, it’s already antiquated. Sure, they can tweak a few things ( and I hope for their sake that is what the delay is for,) but they are already going to be behind with their brand new 10th generation console. Not just behind the PS5 and XSX, but behind the PS6 and Next XBOX, and behind all the current hybrid consoles and new ones on the way, and POSSIBLY………..hybrids by Sony and Microsoft.
Nintendo is in trouble. If the next console is not at LEAST as powerful as the XBOX One X in docked-mode, it’s DOA. Preferable, it needs to be somewhere between the XBOX Series S and the PS5 in docked mode. Portable mode doesn’t matter. 1080p, 60fps is fine there.
It’s not about the power of the console as much as it is the talent of the developers and the unique software… and the price point. It doesn’t matter if people make more powerful systems at higher prices if they don’t have unique software people want, they just aren’t going to do that well in the long run.
Hahah my dudes.. more powerful graphics means increased development time and more layoffs for failed games. It’s why the switch is doing so well, they can actually make games for a reasonable price for it and in a reasonable timeline
So why do they need a PS5 Pro?
