>Does Nothing>Wins the Console Wars
Literally who?
>>724271612Nobody won because nobody plays consoles anymore. Xbox is dead, PS5 is on life support, and the Switch and Steam Deck are barely even consoles.
They've been the extra supplementary console since 2006 (arguably 1996 depending on who you ask).
>>724271612>>Does NothingThey won because of the blue ocean strategy Iwata had and lateral thinking with withered technology philosophy Gunpei Yokoi had.It bit them in the ass a lot during the Wii U when they had to play catch-up with HD development but they rebounded hard with the Switch.Nintendo's biggest advantage however isn't just their IPs but rather how they're structured.The way EPD is made up is something most publishers would kill to have.
>>724271612The only people who won were the stockholders.
>>724271612>>Does Nothing>>Wins the Console WarsBecause they understand the console gaming market unlike xbox or playstation.Creating Traditional consoles with first parties exclusives.That's all you have to do.
>>724272075>Creating Traditional consoles with first parties exclusives.Nintendo's not traditionalThey prioritized new features over raw power increases
Everyone knows PC will win in the end anyway
>>724272153>Nintendo's not traditional>They prioritized new features over raw power increasesHello that's how it's always been performance was always a means to new features rather than what happened in the 2000s.
>>724272195>Everyone knows PC will win in the end anywayTrusted computing blocks your path. Soon that PC will be effectively a console just like mobile.>SoonIt's already happening.
>>724271612B-B-BUT IT DOESN'T COUNT SONY WON!
>>724272261I meant hardware featuresThe Wii went for motion control rather than HD
>>724271942no, it's just the IPs. their "development structure" means nothing for movies and theme parks and toys, which are also making them a shit load of money.
>>724271612Consoles are dying. Nintendo's just the last loser, and even then that's generous since the ps5 is supposedly doing better globally.The real winner by doing nothing is obviously pc.
>>724271723>>724272195Let it go. PC gaming will never replace consoles
>>724272603Already is. Surpassed consoles years ago. PC grows, consoles stagnated and declined over the past 15 years.
>>724272569>their "development structure"Their structure is literally what makes these games even come out period
>>724271612>winsso you admit that Nintendo is doing the bare minimum but there is no competition
>>724272675>PC growsStill huffing the tanks.PC is a dying platform, zoomers and gen alpha use phones.
>>724272587>>724272675PC marketshare has been declining since 2018, only hyperautists or third worlders are leftDilate
>>724272570>the investors get bankWhy is this important again?
>>724272816PC has objectively outpaced consoles and continues to grow year over year. Mobile isn't real gaming, but if you want to drag that in it also crushes consoles.
>>724271612Making video games isn't exactly "doing nothing".It's the only thing that matters here and the reason they won.
>>724272850PC only "declines in share" because a third worlder got a phone, these things are not really in competition. There are more PC gamers than ever.
>>724272850Steam alone gets way more active users in a month than nintendo gets in a year, but keep huffing that copium. Console userbase has done nothing but decline over the past 15 years, they only keep their revenue up because they screw their remaining audience that much harder to make up for it.

>>724273135>muh move third worlders that play free games!!!>>724273349>active userslmao shit ton of them are bots, youtuber showed tens of thousands of bots on TF2 alone. Imagine CS2. steam is mostly money laundering audience
>>724272570>revenuethe copiest of copes
>>724271942You are dumb. "Blue ocean strategy" died with Wii and DS. Do you even know what blue ocean strategy means? It's trying to appeal to new demographics like non-gamers and older people. It failed so bad with Wii U and 3DS that Nintendo went back to appealing to young gaming adults with Switch and Switch 2."Lateral thinking with withered technology" also isn't applicable as Switch was the most powerful portable when it launched and witch Switch 2 Nintendo together with Nvidia designed a brand new SoC that's the most advanced portable gaming SoC in terms of features to the point of beats $1000 handheld PCs

>>724273570And every single tendie is a braindead bot what is your point
>>724273654>>You are dumb. "Blue ocean strategy" died with Wii and DSNo it didn't, it infected their games.
>>724272675this hasn't been true for at least half a decade now, PC market is contracting
>>724273768tendies buy games more than your average steamie
>>724273858PC was dead a decade ago. It has only grown massively. Every other month Steam hits some new 40+ million active user daily high.
>>724273590>he says as he copes with no rebuttal
>>724273957What a profoundly dumb thing to say. Have you seen steam libraries. Not uncommon to go over 1k.
>>724271612To be fair, they don't have to. Their cultists will keep them alive.
>>724274097Average price of those games were bought at: $2
>>724273957Extreme doubt. I built up a 2,500 game steam library for a fraction of the cost of my 30 year 100 game console library in a fraction of the time. And that's not counting all the other games I have on PC.
>>724274025What rebuttal do I need? Revenue is money made before costs are accounted for. They could have spend 62 billion dollars to make 31 billion dollars. It literally means nothing. It's just a cope by a slowly dying company.
>>724274235That room has somy and sega consoles as well, and an rgb-ridden gayming PC. Say what you want, this person plays all games.
>>724272570>revenuelolLMAO
>>724274283Yeah. Games are super cheap on pc. You could get that bamham collection with 7 other wb games for $10 while only 3 of them cost you $60 and play far worse on the switch.
>>724271612they flopped bigly...
>>724274461>It literally means nothing.It literally shows whos more popular and what people are spending money onYou're just using copium to delude yourself into thinking Nintendo is bigger than Playstation yet more developers and consumers choose Playstation
>>724274632And thats why the AAA PC exclusive market died, PC now is just third worlders buying old games at bargain bin prices
>>724273697>As of 2024, Steam has around 132 million active monthly users. And this is a several year old figure since valve rarely discloses it compared to daily. It's almost certainly closer to 200 by now going by the daily growth.
>>724274853Wow 200 milly bots, LETS FUCKING GO
>>724274819And yet PC gets everything. But if you want to think you're subsidizing AAA cancer, go ahead.
>>724273998>steam user countmeaningless metric when making an account is free/botted. PC's biggest growth in the last decade was due to China, a region that's going jap-mode by becoming phone addicts
>>724273349>Steam alone gets way more active users in a month than nintendo gets in a year,
>>724275275Active users. If we're going by accounts, it was over a billion years ago.
>>724275040>And yet PC gets everything.Except groundbreaking exclusive games like crysis lmao but hey you get 100 metrovanias a week so thats better :^)
>>724275405Yes bots are active
>>724275492
>PC vegan is convinced console gaming is dead based on number of steam accountskek
>>724275857Not dead, dying. Don't even need pc for that, just console hardware and game sales from 15 years ago.
>>724271612>consoles keep fucking up>consolewar over, pc and mobile wonCoincidence, I think not. Good riddance to console cancer.
>>724272850I like how you conveniently ignore the 4 percent decline in console games while trying to make a big deal out of the 0.2 percent decline in PC
>>724276912It also ignores that all the big payers on pc are private and we have no clue what their revenue is, it's all guesswork. That and revenue does not translate to users or games, only what you're extracting out of them. So simply charging people an arm and a leg is going to inflate it.
>>724274461>It literally means nothing. It's just a cope by a slowly dying company.First of all, when you have 3 times the revenue of the other guy, they are more likely to go out of business then you are. You can also just look this up and see that your wrong>Sony>414B yen net option income>Nintendo>282B yen in net option income
>>724277139>That and revenue does not translate to users or gamesSteam has grown by leaps and bounds. No console has 175M monthly active users. You have to be completely out of touch if you think Consoles are thriving while PC is dying. Console's peaked in the 7th generation and its been down ever since. The fact that Sony is making more money then they've ever had while putting their games on PC should tell you everything you need to know about the market.Oh, and Nintendo's best year in terms of sales (as in people buying stuff) was FYE 3/31/09 w/ 1.83T Yen. Nintendo has never beaten that year and Switch's profits are entirely due to improving margins with the Switch being 8 years old and the cost of the games already amortized. That is pretty much dead with Switch 2 especially if the Yen is 150 to the dollar. Their margins are going to decline along with their profits and investors will demand they add their games to Steam just like they wanted them to make mobile games.
>>724276912look up the marketshare from 2018 then realize you are a drooling retard
>>724277987>look up the market share from nearly 8 years agoWhy?
>>724278094Cause its been going down for 8 years which was the entire point if you could read
