Why is Nintendo just head and shoulders above every other gaming company despite its own decline in the Switch 2 era? Is it just branding/character design that makes them so magical compared to Sony?
Sony rapes Shitendo big time hardstyle
>>743300745>decline in the Switch 2 eraOn bizarro earth
>>743300745Nintendo are the only gaming company of fostering an IP for a long period. Literally everyone else has lost their old IPs.Sony does not use their original mascots anymore. Crash, Spyro, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter. They basically let these characters go 3rd party, languish, or just don't release games anymore. All of their 'mascots' are just generic dudes and girls.Xbox only had Master Chef, and he is no longer in the kitchen.Nintendo has Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, etc. These are all IPs that existed since the NES or even before, yet still are considered pop culture icons.
$80 for a Mario Kart game sure is magical
Are they? I have had every Nintendo machine and to me they are really just the Zelda company. Everything else they do is awful anime weeb shit or baby shit.
>>743301828>Sony does not use their original mascots anymore*cough*
>>743300870FPWP
They haven't been good since DS/Wii
>>743302014Yeah, like I said, all of their "mascots" nowadays are just generic people and they kill off and sidelines the ones people like.
>>743302014>closest thing to a mascot is a depiction of a lesbian from the 2020s.>Actively boycotting perfeclty fine, timeless things like ape escape.They made their own bed.
>>743300745They've built higher trust. They've earned it.Trust is a good thing, for humans.
>>743300870Nintendo lives rent-free in sony's head
>>743300745It's just the demographics, tendies only play nintendo shit so everything look new to them even when everyone else played something similar 20 years ago.Cutting their hardware sales in half by fusing their handheld and console is proof that they're not doing great either, they're just falling in slow motion.
>>743301828>Sony does not use their original mascots anymore. Crash, Spyro, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter. They basically let these characters go 3rd party, languish, or just don't release games anymore. All of their 'mascots' are just generic dudes and girls.Everybody has already forgotten about KnackI can't wait for Astro to be abandoned once the PS6 hits so we can call everyone that liked it a tourist
>>743301970And an $80 cutscene and gangbang simulator is somehow better?
>>743305612Oh yeah. I forgot about Astrobot. I mean he is used in marketing, I guess. Feels a bit forced on their end, I think people like the game/experience and not Astrobot himself. He doesn't have much character. I am sure Astrobot 2 is gonna get made at some point though.
>>743300745>Nintendo just head and shoulders above every other gaming company> that makes them so magical compared to Sony?you couldn't sound more biased if you tried, no one calls a fucking brand "magical" unless they are drinking the fucking kool aidit's fucking incredible that Nintendo managed to foster the male equivalent of the "failed adult disney woman"
>>743300745>every other gaming companyI grant you they are marginally better than Sony or Microsoft(well, anti-consumer exclusivity aside). But compared to other "third party" game developers they are pretty average.
>>743305247Why was Sony advertising a new Nintendo console for Nintendo?
>>743307148it was right after the switch 2 was revealed so you know that they were scared shitless after the stomping the Switch gave them.
>>743300745>Is it just branding/character design that makes them so magical compared to Sony?Apparently Sony gives devs a lot of creative freedom so what you see is what you get, all the boring shooters in the past and then cinematic games was what the companies wanted to make. The live service push is 100% Sony though, I don't believe for a second any of the companies wanted to make live service slop
Shitendo's gaming division is losing just as hard as everyone else.
>>7433020143dpds by definition can't be mascots, realistic games have always been shovelware destined to be forgotten
>>743308602I believe the joke is how they killed one of their mascots instantly
>>743300745because Sony uses 3dpd
>>743305247Is this real? It sure doesn't seem real (I have never owned a playstation)
>>743306081>I am sure Astrobot 2 is gonna get made at some point though.ps5 funko bot is already astro 2astro 1 is rescue team for the ps4
>>743305247
>>743309939it's Astro 3 actually. Astro's PlayroomAstro Bot Rescue MissionAstro Bot
>>743305157Cute 'ecko
They only shoot themselves in the foot every couple of years
>>743300745they're not. they're sitll shitty with half physical shit. they're no different than Sony. stop trying to lie to yourself
