You say as if Nintendo's broke and can't afford them. I just don't see Sony being the likely candidate in the case of an acquisition of Square Enix's gaming divisions, sorry.

true, and Sony most likely will keep going with AAA development, which is hurting Square

If we're gonna talk about the console war, then how about we discuss how Sony and Microsoft are going to survive next gen? Their consoles are guaranteed to be $1000+ at minimum the way things are going. The Switch 2 might see a steeper price but knowing Nintendo, it will never go beyond $500. It's likely Nintendo has already won next gen without doing anything.

>>728834810
You know that it will be "OK when Sony charges $1000+ for their consoles" until the end of time and the Switch 2 will still be demonized.

>>728833102
Since when is the PS5 region-locked?

Since last month, is a model specific for Japan that is cheaper because it only has Japanese language on it. They copied this from Nintendo who had a Japanese only switch 2 since it launched.

>>728834810
>Their consoles are guaranteed to be $1000+ at minimum the way things are going
Twice as powerful as Gaycube for the same price

>>728835286
They've already said the next Xbox is coming, but I’m just here to watch them struggle through their final gasp. The brand's already on life support. There’s no talents left to save them now, not even Rare.

>>728834138
Because Sony paid for exclusivity* but apparently they weren't good enough to keep it for more than a month.

>>728834810
there's multiple options here
>wait out till the AI bubble burst to get parts cheaper, but then they will be selling in a horrible economic recession
>sell it while subsidizing each system, in hopes that the monthly online subs will pay back what they lost
>sell the system at break even, making the system very expensive, but have a huge marketing push to get people to jump on
>make a weak system that isn't much stronger than the ones available now, but focus on games you can only play on the new systems as their marketing push

So, Ghost of BANNU was a failure. Honestly I'm not surprised.

>>728835805
>easterners don’t like it

>>728834187
Nintendo won't buy Square simply because they don't want to spend money out the fucking ass like Square does on individual titles. Breath of the Wild was Nintendo's biggest, most expensive game ever made and the budget is completely dwarfed by FF7R1, and that still has like 19 more remakes left to go.
Sony will buy them just keep the others away from the IPs, realize S-E is too expensive to maintain, and proceed to gut them harder than EA has to any of their acquisitions.

Marathon still has a chance to maybe get a sizable fanbase, but I don't think it'll be big enough for what Sony is expecting, certainly not Helldivers 2 level
the genre of extraction shooter is already niche with a fair bit of competition, so this was definitely the wrong way to go if they wanted mass market appeal

So is the switch 2 getting a price increase because of the RAM shortage or is this another nothingburger?

>>728839784
Arc Raiders is also 40, it's a reasonable price. but i don't know if it'll have more cost.

>>728838890
If the whole chip price thing doesn't get sorted soon new consoles in 2027 doesn't seem feasible.

>>728840463
It's probably getting a discount around when Marathon releases. I'm sure the Arc Raiders devs will want to counter the release of Marathon with a discount and new content.

>>728840450
Of course it's a nothingburger, just like every other time through the year in which everyone said the Switch 2 would get a price increase due to the boogeyman of the month and instead it remained the same while the other two saw massive price increases

It was competing with bargain binned 50% discounted consoles. November is always like that when a new release comes around. As it was when the PS5 released and lost November to the switch. Unfortunately for doomfags, December has already outpaced the entirety of November for sales.

Is this series even relevant anymore outside of Snoopy's Christmas?

>>728844902

Because they only post them along with their financial reports, numbnuts. Last we heard from nintendo they were raising their forecast.

>>728844902
>Was until october, after that Nintendo stopped posting sales date
??? What? The numbers were released when the quarterly reports happened. Of course they stopped, they release them every financial quarter, not at arbitrary times.

>>728844745
>Yeah, switch 2 sells like shit in eu and us
Proof?

>>728844902
Negro, Nintendo posts the results quarterly. We know it’s still the fastest selling console in the US from monthly Us data. Nintendo’s quarterly reports were never used to determine that

>>728837718
Yesn't.
The Legends games have proven themselves to be an experimental lab, they aren't a consistent series.
If you liked Arceus primarily for the catching experience then likely not. Z-A is all about battling sporting a new combat system. While it overall has a similar catching mechanic to Arceus it's far less in depth (i.e. you can't use bait) and the wild zones are extremely small (they only exist to allow you to catch Pokemon)
If you just want a Pokemon game that's different from the norm go for it.

>>728848401
Does the conflict between China and Japan affect Sony or Nintendo more? They've started banning every product from Japan now. It's only a matter of time before they try to make their own console brand.

i could maybe see nintendo courting the saga team away from square and giving them the budget that square never would, but unfortunately not within kawazu's lifetime because he's too entrenched in and loyal to square itself due to being there ever since doing the graphics for rad racer
even though he's supposedly already retired, so idk
however if that happened, it would mean i wouldn't get any more steam releases of saga titles, so

I can respect the new CEO for trying to make amends, but the damages done by the californian suits towards the Playstation brand have been catastrophic and it would take a massive amount of effort to try regaining the brand's influence in Japan. Gaijins are delusional if they believe a handheld console is the answer to all the ongoing issues though.

Something that amuses me with people shilling the Deck is that they rarely mention how loud the internal fan is or that they will downplay the sheer randomness of your games working out of the box or not.

This only exists in your head. PS5 is going to beat PS4 and hit at least 10 million and all the Japanese that get it think it's better than Switch because the on boarding experience is better. Free game with Astro's Playroom rather than a paid demo, much cheaper games, movies included in PS+ premium with hundreds of games, more app support. PS is still attracting normies in Japan whilst the Switch audience that's not kids is autists. It's literally just portability and Mario selling it.

No, it’s because Sony slashed the price by $200 and PS5 still declined by 40%+ compared to last year in both US and UK

>>728854623
fucking Sony, they just can't help themselves

>>728854598
>Already bellow the PS3
The absolute state of play

>>728854598
What tendies can't understand is that the PS5 is going to have a very strong end to life. The difference between PS5 and PS4 at this stage is that the PS4 was price cut but outside factors meant they couldn't do it as early with PS5. There are going to be several big releases between 2026 and 2028 and price cutting will start to come in more as new hardware is on the horizon. It'll beat PS3 as well.

my honest reaction to this information

So Sony planning on using censorship AI is what got him really mad this time?
As expected of Sony's biggest corpo slave.

Your fanfiction against my post is funny but these points really take the cake:
>much cheaper games
lad are you really aware of how much games in Japan cost ? A free tip: they don't have the whole MSRP thing like we do here.
> It's literally just portability and Mario selling it.
Nevermind that the large majority of third-parties between Yakuza, Disgaea, Atelier, EDF, Pragmata, Biohazard, Legend of Heroes, etc. are also on Switch 1 & 2 but sure buddy.
Playstation's image in Japan was pretty much based on said third-parties since its conception but they lost that thing against Nintendo.

jesus that's cheap, and there's still a lot there

The moment third parties capitulated against Nintendo, it was over. Meanwhile, Nintendo always had their own IPs to weather the storm.

indeed, you keep comparing your masters to that utter tcancer, like the subhuman corposlave you are

>>728849748
>9/20 nintendo exclusives

>>728851627
it's funny too since as of today (or earlier last week?) Switch 2 already bypassed Wii U's JP lifetime sales

>>728855226
he looks kinda cool in xenogears's pixel sprite form

>>728855350
so the Switch 2 DID do Wii U numbers
as in it just beat it already

>>728855236
nah the corposlave here is you trying to deflect from people pointing out your masters being cancer

thankyou. it's troubling seeing how much sony and MS dive into the ai crap.

Reminder that a person is most likely shilling for another side if they insist on being loud about "being neutral".
>>728851983
You mean the Pokemon Go clone thing? I think the problem is the approach. Apparently you still have pseudo battles while "Go"-ing which is wrong.
>>728853194
Why do deckies insist the OLED is as powerful as Switch 2? Were they confusing it with Switch 1?
>>728855104
Why do people pretend the Switch 2 isn't a hybrid anyway? If portability is all that matters Lite would have outpaced Switch OLED.

>>728855607
i despise snoy and snoytroons, though
you're the ones that desperately need them to justify your miserable corposlave existence

subhuman cattle moment

no way this is real

Sony is clearly a western company, and wants to take down japan

>>728855738
Anon if you really don't care you wouldn't be in this thread. Or you would be laughing at them. The implication that people are "cattle" here when most likely a lot of posters here own both PC and Switch 1/2 should already go against that narrative.
>cattle
sealion anon is that you?

>>728854623
This is one of those trademarking the tech just in case it’s profitable things. Sony wouldn’t need it since they use a rating system and wouldn’t approve games like that on PS consoles in the first place. But it can be sold to PC platforms to block mods. I admire their commitment to making PC worse.
