>SEGA America jews getting off scott freeevery fucking time
>>724281163gamestop? more like GAYstop hahahaha goat ham
It's not over until the gaystation is dead.
ITS OVVVERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
>>724281163>Said conflicted originated in the early 2000s with the release of Halo Combat Evolved???????????????????Are we just going to ignore the entire 90s?>SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T>BLAST PROCESSING>$299
>>724281163so who won
>>724281691Sony
>>724281328They don't see each other as competition
>>724281691>Sony has sold over 50 million PS5s>Nintendo has barely sold 6 mill Switch 2>Microsoft won't even put out sales figures>Sony keeps their games at a low $70>Nintendo upped their shit to $80 and even $90>Microsoft Sony won
>>724281651That's the previous war. This is the Cold War equivalent
>>724281983that's bullshit and you know it
>>724281691Its been sony as synonymous with console and steam as synonymous with pc for a loooooong time anon. Nintendo is unironically its own small walled garden unlike xbox was but with an actual loyal fanbase. The rest are all on some variation of pc and/or playstation 4/5.
>>724281163playstation won btw
>>724282021Then what was the Iraqi war
>>724281163https://fxtwitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/1982587953676247375Retweeted by an official US Government twitter account btw
Nintendo, duh.They make the more profit.Snoys and MS went multiplat with their exclusives
>>724281691Pretty much Sony People buy their shit, people view PlayStation as THE Gaming device
>>724281163This declaration isn't worth the paper it's printed on, blaming Xbox for the start of the war is a total farce and I won't stand for this Virtual Versailles treaty.Xbox Hitler when?
>>724281597WHERE ARE THE GAMES MANSLEY?
>>724282167The Chinese takeover can’t come soon enough
>>724281163my town doesn't even have a gamestop anymore, both of them closed earlier this year
>>724282167>Cheering the end of your national video gaming brand
>>724282167He needs to tax the japs for this humiliation
>>724282523>consumer brands as national worthThe 1st world has completely raped the minds of the 3rd world.
>>724282594>Lost Generation 2.0Has if the first iteration hasn't killed them off already.
Nintendosisters... we lost...
>>724282523We never accepted Shill Bates and uh, Microsoft is mostly India now
i always knew sony would win
>>724281163i hate that this is being celebrated as a good thing when it is literally the beginning of the end
If Satya Nadella doesn't immediately disavow this, I'm going to boycott all Microsoft and Xbox products forever.

>>724281163>Said conflict started in the early 2000s with the release of Halo Combat Evolved as an Xbox exclusive titleEvery single word in that sentence is factually incorrect. The console wars were one continuous chain of business rivalries that trickled down into fan spaces starting with Sega encroaching on Nintendo's dominance with the Genesis. Despite beginning as "Nintendo vs Sega" and ending as "Xbox vs Playstation while Nintendo jacks off in a corner and prints money and everyone is on PC anyway" it really is one continuous conflict. You see Nintendo vs Sega continue as Playstation and Xbox are introduced, so when Sega finally falls out of the race, there are already new competitors and the console war continued unbroken. However, the console war has realistically been over for some time. Whether it was when Nintendo bowed out of the traditional hardware race but won anyway with the Wii, the death of the exclusive, Phil Spencer literally admitting they can't win against Sony even if they made COD exclusive, Nintendo's literal exit from making consoles into the hybrid device space, or simply Xbox and Playstation fight looking completely pitiful compared to the dominance of gaming PCs and phones, everyone can agree it ended before now.
>>724283051it was a joke tweet son it's not serious at all
>>724283051>>724283172completely unrelated but what the fuck happened to this guy? i thought he was going to be the next big movie star after inception
If microsoft stops manufacturing consoles OG Xbox games are going to shoot through the roof like Dreamcast games because you wont be able to play them on modern systems
>>724281163>>724281651The entire western "industry" has a form of brain damage where they're unable to perceive Nintendo and I hope it kills them>>724282167Reddit Occupied Government
>>724281996Sony did the $70 price jump first. Expect them to do the 90 next since Nintendo did the 80. Well Rockstar will probably beat both of them and do 100 for basic gta6.
>>724282848Your exclusives are going to Xbox eventually, at least according to a job listing over at Sony. The only one company that has not yet given up the idea of console exclusives is Nintendo.
>>724282801Oh my fucking God
>>724282801O_O;;;
>>724283226Personally, I liked him settling into hipster king on some hipster tv channel about being a portlander.
WHAT IS THIS TIMELINE
>>724281691Nintendo, Sony is next in line to get the guillotine.
>>724283918clown worldrightoids never realized that pretending to be retarded is indistinguishable from actually being retarded, all this trolling just made things into a circus

>>724281163trump stops another war
SEGAbros… forgotten…
>>724281310Back in my day corny was considered soul.
>>724284067
>>724282410China lost
>>724284067If they're so bad why did the majority of the country chose them. Maybe the other option was so shit, weak, and cringe it wasn't even an option for most people?
this is what happens when you pay terminally online children to tweet for the white house
>>724281163It's over. And we all lost.
>>724284367a majority of this country wants to sell their soul to Israelthat doesn't make it a good thing retard
>>724281691nintendo gave upsony lost and paid reparationsxbox ceased to exist
>>724283051That's like saying the war of the Mongol Khanate against the entire world was still ongoing in 1960 because the successors of the Yuan Dynasty, communist Mongolia, was fighting communist China over the Gobi Desert. That's the dumbest interpretation you could have of the console war.
>>724284543>a majority of this country wants to sell their soul to Israellol nothat demographic will be mostly gone in the next few yearsat least the real Right hates jews for the right reasonsthe Left hates jews because they think they're white lol
>>724284367Because memes are only good PR. Politics should never be about PR or opinions, it should be about facts and justice. That's why democracy is a fucking sham. We need to put the experts in charge, and give them the powers to enforce their decisions against the stupid masses. They need to be stomped on repeatedly until they learn that their betters should lead them.
>>724281691PC players
>>724282848
cringe, even white house account did it
as the protagonists of the world Americans are entitled to such silliness
>>724283918>The US Govt. is unironically "How do you doi-ng fellow kids" on XI'd rather have full blown commies in charge right now. The government memeing is about as funny as open mic night.
>>724284896maybe if things weren't so damn bleak for our future this would be funny
>>724283918Unironically selling my Xbox tomorrow unless halo disavows this corny shit

>>724285021go back to >>>lgbt homo
>>724284846....but America lost
>>724281163Frankly speaking, I rather enjoyed the console wars.
>they posted this
>>724281163did literally anybody consider the "console wars" to mean Microsoft and Sony? Neither one cared much about "exclusives" even at the time, let alone in the past 20 yearseven then, at the time Halo came out MS wasn't competing with the PS2, but the Gamecube.
>>724281163celebrate unity. This is globalization. One government. One country. One mission.
>>724285315thisjoin ICE nowwe will highjack the jews plans
>>724284662>>724284543thurd moment
>>724285228Thats when the second gen of console wars happened. Gamestop is ignoring the nintendo/sega wars of the 90s which was worse and laid the foundation of what the console war should look like. Ubiquity is what killed the console wars not someone actually "winning." Everything is functionally a pc now so MS was inherently in a weird position set up to fail, PS realized the only existing divide was m+k or controller, and nintendo has a slave market. We've been edging into a cold war era for a few years so its going to get weirder not more normal.
>>724284974
>>724285182>>724284846>American company losing the war>Chinks wining with gachashit
>>724284067I cried and pooped myself when I saw them tweet a fascism.
>>724281691Nintendo is the only with with exclusives so them
>>724285228That's the console wars after the 6th generation. Nintendo had basically been wiped out in the 5th gen.
>>724281310We need more of this and less BS, go look at the state of things now
>>724283462Sony games are made on Modern hardwareNintendo games are based on 13 year old hardware
>>724284367Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize half are even more stupid than that
>>724281310corn me up
>>724284543He stopped that war too lel
There were 3 Console WarsWorld War I (1991-1996) Nintendo vs Sega. Sega lost when Nintendo unveiled the N64 meanwhile Sega embarrassed themselves with the 32x and CD and internal sabotage World War II (1998-2001) Sony vs Sega. Sony utterly BTFO of Sega so bad not only did they leave the business but Sega had to bend over for daddy Sony to port some games over to their console. Truly a HolocaustWorld War III (2006-2025) Sony vs Microsoft. The longest running war, in actuality it ended in 2013 after the Xbone reveal, however Microsoft kept desperately trying to fight back and unintentionally damage itself while Sony just stood back and watched. Halo ported to PS5 was the atomic bomb.There will never be another Console War.
>>724281691sony won! trans btw
>>724286794>It's okay if BLUE jews me because-Cuck. Spineless cuck. Dickless, spineless, feckless cuck riding the big corpo dildo.Grow a fucking pair.
>>724287084Real trans woman here, I fucking hate sony and am going to kms!
>>724287141Who said I had a Sony console? I don't have a PS5 or a Switch 2 because I'd be a retard to buy either oneI'm just stating the matter of facts
>>724283462>Rockstar will probably beat both of them and do 100 for basic gta6.And they'll probably charge $200 for the deluxe edition.Even though 6 wont even be as good of a game in 2026 as san andreas was in 2004
>>724285315real or ai?
>>724286923Are they? When the other side tells them theyll disarm them, silence them, take away their videogames, movies, and are actively personally ruining all intertainment, and are saying to be weak, gay, and retarded are they expected to vote for them then lol?
>>724281163Not like there's anything to fight over>NintendoEmulation>Playstation>>XboxEverything is being put on PC anyway
>>724287061What about Sony vs Nintendo? Is that the Cold War?
>>724281691You're mom won my cock and balls in her ass.
>>724286715Yet they are still selling consoles to the point that the switch might surpass the ps2 in a few years. Not to mention that the social world is still MALDING that the Switch 2 is selling at a steady pace while failing to do any damage with their calls for boycotts. Also the playstation now longer has any true exclusives all as all their shit ends up on PC a year later. Hell one can ague that the PC entered the conflict during the 6th gen as well so really it's the PC master race should be declared the winner here.
>>724281163FUCKING GAMESTOP
>>724281691I say this as a nigga that was a 306/1 individualSony unfortunately won the platform market by appealing to Africans and Afrophiles but Microsoft (NOT XBOX) won the games market.Steam and Nintendo remain on two separate continents, amassing their forces... XBOX has been replaced by Sony which may continue XBOX replacement by importing SKorean enginners to build nuclear power throughout NATO. We shall see. There is a legitimate chance that SKorea will have equivalent sociocultural power as Japan by this decade, though Japan will not have given up its share.
>>724281163Console wars have always been over since PS4/Xbone eraI think we're all dedicated PC players nowadays.Consoles died once Halo turned gay and Killzone got killed off for Horizon. I fucking despise Tendies but I genuinely respect Nintendo's hustle after all these years. They're the least shit console company so far.
>>724287436The only one doing the disarming and taking away of things as actual elected officials has always been Republicans after they successfully scare you into supporting them. You're the kind of retard that thinks voting for a politician is somehow also voting for what goes into video games.
>>724281691why us gamers of cou...... hang on a minute
>>724281163The console war ended with the release of the Nintendo Switch in 2017, cementing Nintendo as the last victor of the war and only remaining console manufacturer (as its competitors Sony and Microsoft are now in the business of producing subpar PCs and nothing else).
>>724284846>this is the kind of shit MIGAts this is funnyIt’s actually hilarious looking back at all of the “Trump is actually a 120 IQ epic meme lord” videos from back in 2016. Redditors, the lot of them.
>>724288281you lost tranny
>>724281996Playstation 5 is a 9th gen console, compare its sales to the Switch 1 you disingenuous fucktard.
>>724288318>still using the same material from almost a decade agoWay to prove a point
>>724288460proving that you lost and are still kvetching about it a decade later
>>724288460You lost a decade ago too.
>>724281337Gamestop was never good
>>724284846>The official White House account celebrates America losing to the Japs by posting AI slop of the POTUS in Halo cosplayThis country is a fucking joke.
>>724288281>complaining about anyone else's humor>unironically using the term "MIGAts"
>>724288336That's even more embarrassing, you're telling me the 2025 "10th Gen" Switch 2 is not only weaker than a 9th Gen, but also an 8th Gen console!???
>>724281691Sega maybe
>>724288646It’s a pejorative. Funny isn’t the goal
>>724288891Is reducing everyone's estimate of your probable IQ the goal?

>>724281163>felt like checking out FUCKING GAMESTOP for the first time in a couple years>its closing
And then there were two...
>>724287061Those are major battles anon, so long as two consoles are selling the war still goes on, hell in 2006 the PC entered the fight and has slowly been vulturing all the fallen so much they have started to prey on the living (were is the true PS exclusive? the ones that stay on PS, not coming to PC in a year's time?)>>724287662That's the US and China's resource war, with the US using it's large military rep to bank on alliances with other countries to get resources and shut China out of those market, (PS2/3's good rep with third party and buying exclusivity). While China uses the belt and road trade partnerships to make trade routes and improve their public reputation with 3rd world nations that hold a lot of resources (Hosting Indie Directs and having the family friendly brand which helps parents choose them to avoid the Troon virus). The US will be able to coast to continued stable economics success long as the government doesn't do anything stupid that would jeopardize their alliances and trades deals around the world, oh wait- ( playstation in now enforcing California censorship on the devs and now selling their first party games on the PC a year later)....
>>724288783BASED
>>724289362Nintendo and Sony are barely even chasing the same consumer base any more. Interpret that as Sony cope/Nintendomination as you wishSony's free to muck up (((((core))))) gaming as they please now
>>724289335>>724284846Imagine the fucking SEETHING going on in Microsoft and 343 right now, lmao
>>724281691SonyNintendo bowed out a decade ago when Iwata died and was replaced by suits
Hopefully this makes trump push hard on developing spartan armor so he can use his new spartan soldiers to crush antifa for good
Concord bros, let's go!
>>724289563>and 343 right nowuuhhh anon, 343 recently got gutted and rebranded. Pretty much everyone in the photo except for the top pencil pushers were kicked out and sent to infect other studios. They just have a skeleton crew so small now they now have to use AI to make their new Halo remake.
>>724281163>xbox losing to playstation>after all sony's bullshitthey tanked it on purpose or they were entirely blinded by greed and the incompetence that followed.un fucking believable what's happened to vidya in the last 15 years

>>724286418What in like total amount of money? Even if it were true, who fucking cares? China hasn’t produced anything with soul
When Armored Core was more popular than Halo, I knew the Xbox was truly dead.
>>724289470The bloodiest console war is about to begin.
>who won
>>724289409RW franchise btw
>>724281691No one won, but Microsoft lost the most
>>724284846It's over
>>724281691Gaben won and doesn't care because hes to busy sipping his coffee on his yacht bought with valves "fuck you" money before hopping onto his deck for a couple rounds of dota
>>724290275>>724289470Agreed. It will be a bloodbath.
>>724289341>Implying there's a significant difference between the establishment GOP and establishment Dems in the first placeAmerica moment. Bush, Obama, Clinton, and Dubya were barely different. Trump is just populist Clinton.
>>724281691Everyone except microsoft, so humanity
>>724283792I used to get angry when you would post saucy, but now I realize you're a remnant of a way better time on this site and I respect you for what you do. You're a faggot but you're our faggot and I hope you never leave
>>724292619>Trump is just populist Clinton.So did you have any logic behind this at all beyond "they're both horny" or...?>NAFTA and China policy completely fucked over the manufacturing industry>Brady Bill and assault weapons ban>"don't ask don't tell" set us down the road to a trannified military>half dozen mideast wars
>>724281163consoles war didn't originate with halo, what the fuck are these niggers on about? there was an entire generation of people already sick of it by then.
>>724281163When did one of the worst gaming related companies become a expert on the console wars they have to survive on merch and Funkpops just to keep their stores open.
>>724281691I feel like it's more accurate to say that Microsoft lost.
>>724289274i really think we need our brave, patriotic american soldiers to go defend freedom in venezuela, right now. its just another 20 year long 3-day special military operation, they can handle anything.
>>724293350It's one of MAGA's favorite excuses to baselessly claim he's doing just like how other presidents have done. Like comparing his unilateral White House demolition to Obama adding a few extra lines of paint on the already existing tennis court. One of his toady lawyers was claiming that a certain set of procedures in one of his revenge persecutions had plenty of precedent yet completely collapsed when the judge pressed for an actual example.
>>724294184Trump's not bombing Venezuelan drug boats to "spread democracy", he's doing it to stop drug trafficking. I'd assume you're being willfully obtuse but I've seen how fucking retarded your kind can be so I'm afraid I can't give you that benefit of the doubt.
>>724282848Won what the who has the most cp contest?
>>724294263>unilateral White House demolitionEvery month that goes by the shit they lose their minds over just gets stupider and stupider. I genuinely can't wait to see what they're screeching about by 2028.
>>724294389He's bombing boats and calling them drug traffickers afterwards because political "red meat" is no longer metaphorical for his voter base.
>>724281691people who don't enjoy video games
>>724294589Uh huh. Please make this your big issue. I'm genuinely begging you. Please make stopping Trump from bombing south american fentanyl traffickers the big left wing crusade going forward. Unironically.
>>724289409Maybe they’ll finally make them produce a good game
>>724282410lmao, so you can play only gacha games?
SONY WON
>>724288621It’s not that serious bro
>>724294673Yeah you would have definitely been gung-ho for Iraq, gotta stop those WMDs amirite?
>>724287974>implying worst Korea will be equal to JapanThey are a shitty feminist shithole that will be completely gone in a few generations
>>724294963How many overdose deaths did Saddam's imaginary nukes cause?
>>724294569It’s even funnier how they go>ugh maga and trump are so oppressive >WHEN WE GET BACK IN POWER WE WILL KILL YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM Besides there’s a good chance they try some kind of revolt before then
>>724294963Venezuela is an ally of Russia and China. Trump is pressuring Maduro not to fuck with America and to send them a message that it still has what it takes to clean up its backyard. An Iraq War-tier invasion and occupation will not happen. This is just the same shit he did in Iran.

>>724281691Nintendo. They are still doing great, zero lay offs, no need to use AI and exclusives almost every month. They succeed while doing things the other two say you cant do anymore to succeed.
>>724289362Sony isn’t competing with Nintendo retard they have their own audiences
>>724299369That's cool but I'm literally never buying another overpriced Nintendo console or ubisoft ripoff designed games again. They choose the direction they wish to push the company in. I know they'll always be funded because they're the mascots and icon of an entire Country, and thus deserve protection from Japan's defense force in a way Sony cannot compare. (Seen as western sellout). Anyways that's enough for my ted talk as a PC chad. Maybe the next Zelda will borrow elden rings legacy dungeons and make me eat my words.
America is so embarrassing.
>>724299704America moved onto PC gaming a long, long time ago. Adults with consoles buy them for their children because they're seen more as toys. Sometimes adults will be gifted consoles by their elders even into adulthood but they spend their budget on PC now.
>>724289415All game stops have closed near me years ago.
The truth about consoles & PC is that console "gamers" outnumber PC gamers.But PC gamers are actual people, not NPCs.just like real life.

>>724289563343 is dead, Halo Studios is now, and they got rid of their women, the studio is filled with mostly white men, and a lot of Phil's woke mandates got lifted.
>>724290028She no longer works at Halo Studios, they also booted a guy with a last name of Israel.
The real winners of the console wars, are the ones who embrace low poly. Because high poly is pure bullshit at this point.
>>724289470Won't even be a war. Nintendo already outsells Sony by tens of millions, kids are growing up with Nintendo/PC/mobile stuff. Why would they buy a console that they never owned in the first place? They don't have the brand loyalty, they're just gonna buy the console that has actual exclusives and it has third party support as well. Sony's fucked. Like I'm not even into Pokemon but the latest game sold 6 million in a week. I bet Sony won't beat those numbers with Wolverine, Heretic or Saros

>>724281691>playstationfucked up the least, had semi decent business management. great hardware, reasonable pricing for the most part. moved to x86 at the *perfect* time, thanks to cerny.>nintendomassive fucking success to massive fucking failure to massive fucking success to ???, switch 2 is selling a lot but it's plagued with the same endless cross gen releases. basically, this is meant to play ps4 and xbox one games that the switch couldn't handle, in addition to the original switch games. nintendo is once again off in lala land doing whatever they want and people are buying it because it works and is different.>xboxmicrosoft has gone out of their way for the past 2 generations to kill their gaming brand and has finally accomplished it. with halo coming to ps5, they've effectively thrown in the towel. this is how xbox dies: just like sega did, giving in to their closest competitor and releasing their ips. xbox magnus or whatever is rumored to be basically a windows 11 PC, which i wholeheartedly believe given its also rumored price point. in a way, it would be a true return to form: xbox was always meant to be a PC in console clothing, but it took too long, and they lost so much inertia it no longer matters.then there's PC: rock steady since 1993 and before. not the shiniest, not the cheapest, objectively the nerdiest and weirdest, but always capable. and honestly, when console is so dead set on making sure the experience is as weird and crossplat as possible, i'll probably just stay here. switch never gets used, xbox rarely ever gets used now, my newest playstation is a ps2.
>>724304117Nobody ever treated that kiddie company seriously besides Sega
>>724304052Sony was a patent troll, cd, dvd, blu-ray, every 15 years a new version so they get paid for every single one. Direct downloads guts their entire reason to have a console.

>>724281163This is insanely cringe. By the way I've not owned a console since 2007 and have no stakes in the console war.
>>724281691Do you even need to ask?
>>724303750That’s nice, but the CE remake still looks jeeted.
>>724297396>surprised when america is the cuck capital of the worldwhy?
PS6 will be the last PlayStation. Sony, like Microsoft, are shifting towards software/platform over hardware. Nintendo and Valve are in their own handheld markets and Sony is going to flop here. They're just trying to escape the high-end crash coming. Valve is seeing the writing on the wall for home console which is why the Fremont isn't a priority right now and may not happen at all. Currently, Fremont could happen after the Deck 2 or not at all. The Ibex controller is coming though. Sony can't beat Nintendo and Valve at their own handheld game, they'll be in the same place Microsoft is with the ROG Xbox Allys. Valve will also get the Deck 2 out a lot sooner at a lesser price because they're using Zen 6 and RDNA 3.5+ over Zen 6 and UDNA like Sony is using. Power isn't everything. Sony and Microsoft should have learned this.
>>724304918What he said >>> >>724305164T2 isn't gonna ignore the market leader. Switch 2 broke all sales records and Xbox dying would only speed up the urgency of the GTA 6 NS2 port. All you need today is PC/Nintendo. If I want the premium experience I know I'd just buy a new PC with the best CPU because that's what the demanding games require, a great CPU that costs the same as PS5. PS6 won't be able to compete with that
>>724305271I don't want you damned.Mark 16:16 KJVHe that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.https://youtu.be/UVgWCrm67-0https://youtu.be/tfm1mZAuJjA

I miss when I was a teenager and I'd walk in to a gamestop and there'd be massive racks of games and even if I only had $10 I could go home with something new to play. Nowadays they don't even carry half of the new shit where I live.
>>724281691Nintendo
>>724306095Keep coping
>>724284367Inflation basically. Globally, 2024 was the worst year for incumbent parties in history.
>>724281691Probably PC since it gets a lot of ads everywhere.
>>724281163Oldfags will say the Sega/ Nintendo beef was the beginning of the console wars, but it was entirely one-sided with Sega fans being the agitator.It really was always Xbox vs Sony with Nintendo as the underdog who always made millions selling mariokart.
>NOTHING IS OVER>YOU DON'T JUST TURN IT OFF
>>724307332PC is not a console, and not to mention the purity spiral of Intel vs AMD vs Nvidia.
>>724307385>Nintendo>underdogTheir games outsold everything else and they always domiinated the handheld market. The only new thing is just them becoming market leader with NS1, that's the uncommon thing.
>>724307585True true...
>>724281163Stop doing and posting this embarrassing shit
>>724307385Xbox was close to beating Sony ONCE with the 360, the concept of saying the original Xbox came in second place is more of a technicality than a feat when you see the numbers The truth is that there were no "wars" other GenesisXSNES and 360XPS3XWii, only massacre
>>724298812just had an Indian guy come into my wage station this morningsaid Microsoft bought up some building nearby so he thinks we'll be seeing a lot of employees like him pretty soon
Le console war bullshit is fucking retarded and never actually existed outside of marketting. The games matter not the overpriced box you play it on.
>>724307610Even internally Sony and MS never competed with Nintendo because the hardware category wasn't on the same level (per the antitrust lawsuit against MS) because Nintendo products are underpowered. The only category Nintendo smashes is the handheld market and they got BTFO by tablets and smartphones. Hence calling them underdogs.
>>724309065Switch 1 demolished Xbox/Playstation, NS2 broke all the sales records, Pokemon 6 million in a week
>>724281328>Nick Jr and HBO still exist
>>724294263The east wing isnt even that old. Also no liberal actually cares about historical buildings, its just something for you to cry about.
>>724308514You gotta give em props in beating Nintendo as a complete newcommerEveryone expected the Xbox to fail like the 3DO, CDI, Jaguar and every other American console after the Atari 2700
>>724281983Tendies see the Snoys as competition even though they're 2 completely different markets and most consolefags own both consoles.
>>724281983War never changes.

>>724303370Sony forfeit long ago going multiplat too anon.
>>724304117What's nintendos home console called? They seem to have completely given up after the wii-u kek
>>724281691They all gave up.We lost.

>>724311221NS1/NS2

Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo... Whatever. Milton Bradley.
>>724281691>Playstation went third party>Xbox went third party>Nintendo is still first partyNintendo won
>>724313596As horrible as this is, I think it’s the perfect representation of how fucking stupid and soulless this country is.
I wonder how Steven Wilson is taking this news.
>>724283918Its your bread and circus to stop a potential gamer uprising
>>724284578Holy fucking zoom zoom, retard.
>>724287261>shilling for a company>too poor to buy their products anywayAre you just hoping that Sony sees this post then sends you a free PS5 as a thank you for defending their honor on a Laotian rug-brading forum?
>>724313995America is like 4chan, it's a massive shithole but everywhere else is much worse
>>724288336If you want to play this game guess what:the switch is a cheap ass handheld console you disingenuous faggot.
>>724281163I own a playstation but getting a shitty unreal remake is not the same, but I guess the masses just do not care.t. played the original on pc
>>724281163and Nintendo won
>>724281163A neutral entity cannot deem a war to be over between two other parties. The war can only be over once both parties agree to cease hostilities.
Now we must all band together and destroy tendies
>>724313537That's a handheld
>>724284846civil war soon
>>724316342Nintendo won by keeping budgets low and giving their audience more of what they want. Sony and Microsoft fought a graphics arms race which inflated budgets and dev time massively. As well as chasing the Modern Audience that never existed.
>>724316649Portable Console. Deal with it snoygger
>>724316749So they don't have a home console is what you're saying? Damn nintendo are cowards that shut down their console division after the wii-u.Unless you want handhelds to enter the competition in which case I think nintendo lost to android. Ooof.
>>724316840A hybrid console is also a home console in case you're having a little trouble doing your mental gymnastics sprout
>>724316942Damn the PSP was a home console because it had tv-out...
>>724316989It didn't had a dock, wich is different but hey! Can't win them all kiddo
>>724317078If I wanted to talk to an AI I'd open a tab.I notice you didn't refute anything I said and just asked daddy AI to think for you. Nintendo doesn't make home console hardware anymore.

>>724305054>GTAV released on over 300 million platforms.What does that even mean
>>724281163>the console war originated in the early 2000s with the release of Halo: Combat Evolved as an Xbox-exclusive titlewhoever wrote this could have at least tried to make it believable
>>724281163Are they implying that Playstation won? Even though Nintendo has been on the top of the market since 2017? All that really happened is that Xbox lost.
>>724319289Nintendo doesn't count when they're number 1. They only count when they're not
>>724288336This is not the fight to pick anon. The switch is an underpowered tablet
>>724319943It's a tablet that absolutely outperformed the PS5 in both sales and acclaim. And the new tablet doesn't even have a straight competitor.
>>724319943>>724315806And it outsold the Piss5.
>>724281691pc
>>724281691Pc because it actually has games and can play more games by emulating consoles. All else is console shitter cope
>>724320327>>724320357Isn't the switch meant for children? It probably makes sense for sales because of how many kids there are
>>724281651that's long over bro
>>724281163There will be no peace until SONY exchanges Bloodborne for Halo.
>>724281163It's kind of sad how pathetic and irrelevant Halo and Xbox are nowadays that something like this just feels pathetically out of touch. Both are dead and people don't buy either, and Sony's not fairing much better either. Do you remember when both these consoles had killer exclusives with loyal fanbases? Now they have a fatigued audience that barely even buys multiplats. If Sony doesn't buckle in the next generation with a solid chance of Nintendo shit not only coming to the console, but nobody even giving a shit about it to top it off.
>>724320685All video games are for children >B-b-but what abou-Edgy teenagers are children too.
>>724321718No not really. You have complex game like dwarf fortress and aurora 4x that only a pordigy could play and thats not for children. None of the silent hill games or metal gear solid would be for children and just looking at pc games like walking dead talltale and VN porn game are absolutely not for kids lol. Just because Nintendo is for children doesn't make the rest of the industry that way.
>>724281337respect must be earned nigger, not given to someone due to their age.

>>724283918based as fuck
>>724281163>early 200s with the release of Halo: Combat Evolvedso does that mean the 90s Sega vs Nintendo is a different console war? I also viewed it as one long war but I guess its more like world war 1 & 2?
>>724330373>but I guess its more like world war 1 & 2?Yeah
>>724281691Sony. Its the only true videogame companynintendo sells mario and zelda as a brand but the games dont have the quality to stand on their own without ip loyalty.
>>724281163>Whereas, for the past two decadesJust two?The console war was as huge in the 1990s. That's where you had the most direct attack ads between the companies. Sega vs Nintendo, Sony vs the rest.
>>724284067You're just mad because Americans are actually having fun again instead of walking on eggshells about every stupid little left wing pet peeve.
>>724281691Atari DEFEATEDSega DEFEATEDXbox DEFEATEDPlaystation DEFEATEDMost consoles sold EVERMost Exclusives sold EVERMost critically acclaimed games EVERBiggest gaming brand EVERThe way Nintendo won the console war and made Playstation & xbox Bend The Knee is historic
>>724331074>games dont have the quality to stand on their own without ip loyalty.Only pokemon. We've actually seen Mario games fail like mario rabbits 2 and Mario and Luigi Remakes and Warioware. I could be wrong but I believe Luigis Mansion 3 also underperformed tooMeanwhile pokemon devs gave up on game design and we get the fastest selling physical game since TotK cus poketards buy everything, even the same game twice
>>724281163This is kinda cute>Console loyalists are instructed to disband militias>GameStop will continue to operate as a demilitarized zoneThese lines are really funny
>>724331242the 90's console war was a onesided beef between Sega and Nintendo that Nintendo never cared about or acknowledged.

>>724331495uh oh i triggered the poketard :(I didnt mean to remind you that slop you've been force feeding yourself is from devs who stopped caring years ago.

>>724310031Not even close. Personally, I'm surprised there were people who still considered Xbox as competition.

>>724331729Nintendo left the console war after the wii proved that they transcended being a vidya company
You thought you could defeat Xbox, but by destroying it the little green nanomachines have scattered and infected every device on the planet. Your Playstation? That's an Xbox.

>>724331934>no answer Sorry you lost bro.
>>724332673>still pretending we're in the late 2000'sMeanwhile Nintendo, since the Switch 1, has gotten nearly every third-party franchise that were synonymous with Playstation.
>>724332830Nah, it was good it was kept off of here.If GamerGate was allowed as a major thing on /v/ this place would still mainly be a culture war shithouse today.Moreso
>>724281163Sony hasn't been participating in the war for years now, far too busy with their "movies", and Xbox surrendered god knows how long ago. Nintendo won the war, they're the only ones left making vidya games and the only one left with exclusives.

>>724332836what did I lose? I didn't buy the game so I didn't lose my money.>b-but the gameplay!Dude. It's pokemon. Baby's first RPG. Now in real time so you can watch TikTok while the game beats itself. ORAS was designed around phone addicted short attention span retards so yes this is an evolution on that idea
>>724333023Hanging on to exclusives when barely anyone cares about them anymore is so silly. Your average gamer would take a multiplat box over an exclusive box because outside of Nintendo, literally no one is doing exclusives and too many multiplats miss Nintendo's hardware because it's too weak to run the games. Even games like Cyberpunk and Star Wars Outlaws are already removing things to have them run on the Switch 2, clearly next gen is going to be more of the same.Regardless, your average gamer right now is buying 2 games a year(most likely on sale) and playing f2p garbage otherwise. This is not the same industry it was 10 years ago.
>>724284959You already should've because they support a genocide, sweetie.
>>724333958>Muh exclusives don't matterExplain why get a PlayStation over an Xbox then, faggot.
>>724334217It has access to more games. More games and exclusives are not the same thing. The Switch has more exclusives but gets less new games.
>>724332631The greatest trick pulled off this century so far has equating private actors that hold leftist beliefs but few ties to real politics with elected officials themselves. The Republicans have always been the censorious party when it comes to actual government action. Just look at all the states with online porn ID laws and the mass firing of statisticians who might publish inconvenient information. Meanwhile a dev making an individual's decision to downplay cleavage somehow became branded a Democratic tenet by the right without any real legislation to cite. Neither Stellar Blade nor Depression Quest were ever on a literal ballot but Gamergate thought it could vote video games into greatness.
>>724304052But anon. Pokémon ZA sold 200,000 less than Arceus in first week sales. It’s so over for them.
>>724334408>It has access to more gamesSo exclusives do matter, retard.>More games and exclusives are not the same thing.If they aren't exclusives, why would they not be on Xbox? >The Switch has more exclusives but gets less new games.So you're betting on an increasingly weaker argument as more day and date third party port get announced for Switch 2, thus further diminishing the need for the useless brick that is the PS5.Tick tock, snoy.
>>724282167>orange nigger even trying to take credit for ending "console wars"I expect nothing and I am still disappointed.
>>724283918Ok but epstein files.
>>724334648>If they aren't exclusives, why would they not be on Xbox?They quite literally aren't exclusives though, they're also on PC. The PS5 just has access to more games than the Xbox and that's all, they're not even always Sony games there's games on Switch/PC/Playstation that miss Xbox. Playstation and PC are the platforms that get the most games and even then PC gets a lot more that it almost feels wrong to include PS with it but PS gets the most games out of all the consoles. >So you're betting on an increasingly weaker argument as more day and date third party port get announced for Switch 2The Elden Ring port just got pushed back for performance issues and as I said, the Switch 2 is already struggling with the new ports it got to the point where things have to be removed to get them to run(SWO,Cyberpunk). The Switch 1 had tons of 360 ports at the start(Skyrim,DD,Dark Souls,etc) but very obviously that dried up over time because the hardware is too weak. History will repeat itself here when the next gen is 2 years away.
>>724284367You do realise his approval is shit right? Like really shit, no matter how much he says they are the highest ever.
>>724335165>The Switch 1 had tons of 360 ports at the start(Skyrim,DD,Dark Souls,etc) but very obviously that dried up over time because the hardware is too weak.The hardware was too weak for brand new games*

>>724335165>they're also on PC.So an incredibly tiny minority of PC/PS games, most of which were formerly snoy exclusives, that's your grand argument.Again, retard, if they are Sony exclusives in the console space, that's still exclusivity AGAINST Xbox, but please continue playing with semantics.>there's games on Switch/PC/Playstation that miss Xbox.Name 3, go ahead, and I hope you're not looking for japanese-only VN slop.>Playstation and PC are the platforms that get the most gamesWrong, Switch's library is also massive, there's also Switch/PC only games.>PC PC PCThen if you're arguing for the sake of PC gaming, let's also ask while we're at it: Why would I get a PS5 over building a stronger PC?>The Elden Ring port just got pushed back for performance issuesAnd? It's still coming, and when it comes, it will also be up to park with current gen performance as promised, that's why the delay happened, retard.>, the Switch 2 is already struggling with the new ports it got to the point where things have to be removed to get them to runIn what way? It runs Outlaws at a level comparable to current gen Xbox Series S, you do realize putting Outlaws in your argument is weakening your entire premise? Game just got an update for even better performance, Switch 2's version has minimal differences to what the oversized bricks are doing and that's worthy of praise on it's own for a handheld.>History will repeat itself here when the next gen is 2 years away.Meanwhile we're going to get RE9 day and date with solid performance while you continue crying and hoping for "history to repeat itself"
>>724335316that was rare thoughever
>>724335829
>>724281691we all lost
>>724335743>Name 3, go ahead, and I hope you're not looking for japanese-only VN slop.Games from Japan do that more than you'd think. Fate Samurai Remnant, 13 Sentinels, Ys games, Trails games. You can go down the list here and see it happened a few times this year.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_in_video_games>Wrong, Switch's library is also massive, there's also Switch/PC only games.Look at the list above, many games miss the Switch and basically all the big ones aren't on it because it can't run many new games. If you only game on Switch, it's worse than only gaming on Xbox. >Why would I get a PS5 over building a stronger PC?Cheaper price, convenience(being able to pause any time, everything works out of the box). I'd advocate for PC over PS5 any day though.> it will also be up to park with current gen performance as promisedThat's actually probably not the case. If you look at other next gen games on the Switch, they're lesser versions. The few UE5 games the Switch 2 has straight up remove UE5 features to get it to run.(Fortnite, Chronos, Split Fiction). >In what way? It runs Outlaws at a level comparable to current gen Xbox Series SGo look at how many NPCs are removed to get it to run similarly. The Switch 2 port is a handheld port, games have to run on the lowest settings still and that is what holds the Switch 2 back because the dock isn't magically adding the NPCs back.>Meanwhile we're going to get RE9 day Isn't it rumored to also be getting a PS4 port? Getting PS4 ports is in line for what you can expect.
>>724335316I'd say this was more on Rare's part given Earthworm Jim's gun of all things being there, though apparently that was a shot back at a code for Sega CD's version of Earthworm Jim that changed Jim's head for Donkey Kong's with an arrow through it
The war against shittendo will never end
>>724336612>If you only game on Switch, it's worse than only gaming on Xbox. Needed a good chuckle
>>724335472That doesn't even make sense. Obviously incrementing the number of a console means its the next generation version.But the whole idea of console generations is retarded marketing speak anyway.
PC won this years ago tho?
>>724335540No, the views of disillusioned people dont offend me just surprising. Like seeing a hobo eat shit like I know they're a broken human but really you gotta dip that low?0 self reflection.
>>724281163Now we have the handheld wars
progress has been stopped
>>724336612>The Wikipedia article Good job proving my point, from the ranked 90/100 games in the list, 1 is exactly what I mentioned: a PC/Switch exclusive (Hades II), another is a Switch 2 exclusive (Donkey Kong Bananza), others either came out everywhere or have a PS/Xbox/PC release.It still stands to reason that Exclusives MATTER.>If you only game on SwitchNice job ignoring the Switch 2, as usual, all the big third party ports are running on it, or straight up being planned to appear according to basically every big developer interview.>I'd advocate for PC over PS5 any day though.Oh, there you go, PC/Switch 2 combo it is, far better complementary console than a PS5 will ever be, because it has EXCLUSIVES.>The few UE5 games the Switch 2 has straight up remove UE5 features to get it to run.(Fortnite, Chronos, Split Fiction).Chronos got an update that significantly improved the textures recently, so this argument falls flat as it proves that it is mostly an issue with optimization rather than actual raw power (as it usually is).>Go look at how many NPCs are removed to get it to run similarly.What would this constitute in terms of gameplay? every single comparison I look, it's usually running on similar settings and high quality assets as the other current gen systems, the experience is virtually the same, and then I get the ability to play anywhere I want with that current gen game.That is worth far more than seeing 1/2 NPCs less in the background, which is a completely understandable compromise for optimization.>Isn't it rumored to also be getting a PS4 port?And where is it? Show proof it exists.You're also banking on the future existence of the PS6 to somehow imply that Switch 2 will be outclassed like the Switch 1 was, without taking into account that development costs are becoming a bigger brick wall in modern games than raw power, next generation is not going to be much bigger than the current one and everyone knows this.
>>724281163Finally. Now I can rest. It's been too long...
>>724337564Definitely hit a sore spot
>>724281691Nintendo by far because they have the highest sales, highest prices, can get way with shit others can't AND they get to keep their exclusives.
>>724338276Your duty has ended...Rest easy hero
>>724281310Millennials live for this shit, they have insane delusions of grandeur for every stupid thing
Press 'S' to spit in Gaylo and Woker Chief's graveSSSSSSSSSSSSSUPER S
>>724336805No it isn't just marketing speak. There is a fundamental technical difference. Video games are inherently tied to technology by their nature.
>>724338195>Good job proving my point, from the ranked 90/100 games in the list,Holy shit, imagine even pretending that only games journalists suck off matter.> all the big third party ports are running on it , or straight up being planned to appear according to basically every big developer interview.Cool but they're years late and most GotY candidates for the past 5 years have missed it if you want to talk about highly ranked games that journalists suck off. Most of those are in fact on Xbox so yeah, Xbox is the better way to play games if you only had to live with a single console for some reason. >Chronos got an update that significantly improved the textures recently, so this argument falls flatUE5 is more than just textures, anon. Those features refer to things like Lumen and Nanite, the Switch 2 version has lower detail models and shadows even after the patch.>What would this constitute in terms of gameplay?Less immersion when cities are barren. Cyberpunk on PS4 had the same issue to get it to run.>And where is it? Show proof it exists. It's only a rumor but pic related is your smoke.>You're also banking on the future existence of the PS6 to somehow imply that Switch 2 will be outclassed like the Switch 1 wasThat doesn't need to even be the case because the Switch 2 is going to struggle to run PS5 games when the PS5 struggles to run PS5 games. But the PS5 is a 2070 Super equivalent so yes, the next gen should be a big leap when the 6090 will be out then and the PS6 should be around a 5070~. Mind you, we'll get years of crossgen support but the 2070 Super is still a lot better than the 1050 TI specs of the Switch 2 so when games are current gen and next gen only, the Switch 2 is most likely not going to get them if they're maxing out current gen hardware.Again, we saw this exact scenario happen with the Switch 1 which had a billion sales. Not even all the sales in the world got it ports, it's too weak. The Switch 2 will be the same.
>>724281691we bent the knee to chinamen yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
>>724281163lol console wars started at xbox?
Didn't Gamestop go bankrupt?
still not buying a playstaition
>>724333958>Hanging on to exclusives when barely anyone cares about them anymore is so silly. yeah well, People do so that's not really valid is it?
We won fellers let's celebrate by touching tips and cumming inside each other's urethras.
I love this so much. Murder leftists, deport shitskins, 41% troons
>>724281691Anyone saying Nintendo won is retarded. GTA VI is basically only launching at PS5 at this point because no one will want to buy a retarded Series X with the price increase. Sony wins just solely off GTA VI timed exclusivity.
>>724281310People like you can leave now. Xbox shit the bed and you're all too lame to be real nerds so now you can just fuck off.
>>724284846this is great news, we're consolidating for the rocket launch tomorrow let's go
>>724339138>imagine even pretending that only games journalists suck off matter.You will them point to E33, another game that journos sucked off, and consider that a "win" against switch 2.>Cool but they're years lateSo they're coming, cool.>most GotY candidates for the past 5 years have missed itWhereas PS5 is currently missing Hades and Bananza, but hey, "exclusives don't matter" huh? >Xbox is the better way to play games if you only had to live with a single console for some reason.But didn't we just prove the superiority of PC for "owning a single platform", it gets everything after all....except Nintendo games and the 140+ Switch exclusives, of course.>Switch 2 version has lower detail models and shadows even after the patch.So again, a minimal compromise, meanwhile the flexibility that the Switch 2 offers to play on the home, on the go, table top mode, with detachable Joy-cons, the Pro, etc. which balances out other limitations while still offering a current gen experience.>Less immersion when cities are barrenSo a nothingburger of perception that barely anyone cares, and lol at missing 1-2 NPCs meaning "barren".>It's only a rumor but pic related is your smoke.So nothing confirmed, got it.>The next gen should be a big leap when the 6090 will be out then and the PS6 should be around a 5070~And how many games are ACTUALLY going to take advantage of this? Will you be banking on the supermassive AAAA title that comes once every 10 years and eats the cost of hiring a billion indian designers to get it to run properly? This is what I mean by games hitting a graphical ceiling, not in terms of potential, but in practicality.You yourself said it:>we'll get years of crossgen supportSo basically as long as games still have to be optimized for the weaker, but sufficiently strong hardware, Switch 2 support isn't going anywhere for the years of relevancy the console has.No, this won't be a repeat of the Switch 1.
>>724284750can't own any of those physically except for on playstation, steamies own nothing
>>724285228of course nigger, 7th gen was the last great console war, 8th was playstation raping xbox over and over
I saw someone in the youtube comments under a racing game video seething at the PS2 because he had an xbox, even after it ends we'll still have those glorious autistic remnant soldiers

>>724317078the PSP Go had a dock. AND you could use an external controller. Nintendo ripped off Sony lmao
>>7243383124/10, you tried but if you really wanted to go for it you should of thrown a false statistic or talk shit on mario kart world or pokemon. You can do better, I believe in you :)
>>724341580Man you're really upset
>gta vi will be on switch 2!!!so how come there's no GTA V on Switch 1 OR 2 when the game ran on the fucking PS3?
>>724341660I am? Strange I dont feel like I am. I thought I was just bored, at work rn with nothing to do but scroll on /v/. guess i'm upset, what should I do about that?
>>724340552>You will them point to E33, another game that journos sucked off, and consider that a "win" against switch 2.That was a good game so not being able to play it would indeed suck, sure.>Whereas PS5 is currently missing Hades and BananzaBananza most likely isn't getting a GotY nod. Hades 2 is a legitimate GotY contender though. I wouldn't be surprised if that wins.>...except Nintendo games and the 140+ Switch exclusives, of course.Comfy farm sims vs actual games. The average gamer will have more to play on an Xbox because it gets all the normalfag slop as opposed to niche weeb game and games targeting girls(you've watched the directs, you've seen them). > a minimal compromiseIf it's missing next gen features that UE5 has over UE4 then no, your claim that there's parity with next gen games is dumb. It's a good enough port but it's a handheld game. It's wild that you're getting upset about a handheld game being worse than dedicated consoles.>And how many games are ACTUALLY going to take advantage of this?Basically everything on UE5 and UE6? >This is what I mean by games hitting a graphical ceiling, not in terms of potential, but in practicality.The true question in that scenario is how AI impacts game development. Honestly, going back to the previous point I wouldn't be surprised if the AI assets are even worse than the Indian ones and we have more examples of models with way too many polygons because the AI fucked up and no one caught it and that tanks performance. >So basically as long as games still have to be optimized for the weaker, but sufficiently strong hardware, Switch 2 support isn't going anywhere for the years of relevancy the console has.The PS5 is much stronger than the Switch 2. Like, it's not comparable in strength. The real issue is when games use upscaling to run on more powerful hardware, at that point the upscaling that the Switch 2 currently relies on to run games is worthless.
>>724341738>so how come there's no GTA V on Switch 1 Same reason why GTA 6 will come to NS2, ironically
>>724342189>Same reason why GTA 6 will come to NS2, ironicallywoah, thats hefty cope. GTA6 wont run on the switch 3 let alone the switch 2 my tard

>>724344292They all shut down in my country (Finland) years ago, but apparently they're still putting along. I saw one on a trip to Italy in the summer. It was like seeing the last dodo knowing full well its eventual fate. I think actual games took up 1/10th of their floor space.

>>724308514off topic but the fact someone chose that shade of blue instead of the actual ps2 blue makes me mad.
>>724281163The console war's always been between Snoys and Troondies. It'll never end. Troondies target every single game not playable on their platform, and in some cases they'll even target multiplats they can play, like Silksong, for some insanely mentally ill reason.

I despise you /pol/ fags for invading my thread and the mods not doing a single thing about it
>>724281691The reality is no one won, only Microsoft lost.However if you consider this said "console wars" is equivalent to the one of the 90s opposing Nintendo and Sega which Nintendo won by a land slide and transformed Sega into a pachinko machine company, Sony did won against Microsoft.The only thing I find odd is that this war was over since Xbox One released with fully integrated kinect back in 2013, I don't know why retards are claiming it just ended now because Halo (which has been a dogshit husk for more than a decade) suddenly came to xbox, it's not even a new release it's a remake AND a 343 game.
>>724282410Why would they do that.
