How is Nintendo thriving while Playstation and Xbox are down in the shitter?
>>
>>747424192
they make games that are fun
a difficult concept for other companies it seems
>>
>>747424192
What did Xbox do wrong?

I used to be a nintendo+PC cultist and this is the first generation I'm going just PC. Nintendo a shit.

Theres a reason most multiplatform go on ps5/xbox over the switch, their fans mostly only play Nintendo games and thats it

Yes that shows who is more popular as people want to spend more on them. What metric you want to use? Twitter likes?

A lot of reasonable decisions lately, undone by collaborating with La Creatividad.
Honestly all the consoles are shooting themselves in the head, just with varying calibers of gun. I'd say Xbox is using 9mm, Nintendo is using .45 ACP, and Sony is using WW2 naval artillery.
>>
>>747424587
Yeah because switch players usually just have a PC and are either kids or adults. Everyone else uses their consoles and their only piece of hardware. How people can play decade old console with 1080p 30fps when PC's can do much better confuses me. I guess they are just broke.

All at the low price of $5000 lol, PC games barely look different any nowadays and costs more than ever

>>747424587
There's zero chance those numbers are accurate.
>>
>>747426221
no, they're in a completely separate market.
someone can own a switch for mobile play and xbox for home play.
nintendo gave up on the console market when the WiiU flopped as hard as it did.

After Sony is done shitting the bed, the finale of console dick waggling will be Windows vs Valve, with total user autonomy, prebuilt PCs for "consoles". PC master race, brothers, we've won.

They are. Nintendo fans think Nintendo not spending money on game and service development is a good thing so they always crow about profits

These same tech companies don't want us owning our own PCs, though. It's part of why they've been buying up all of the RAM

>>747427072
correct, you're too braindead from playing toddler games all day to understand how to use one.

>>747427072
You'd have to be retarded to own a switch 2, whether or not you also own a PC. It doesn't even have any games yet

what did microshit do now?

You have to understand snoys are constantly fighting to an imaginary person that only owns a Nintendo Switch and somehow browses /v/ too. Since they're teenagers who can only afford one platform, everyone else must be too.

Yes
Nintendo fans are cable of owning a PC, but tendies would slit your throat for even daring to emulate mother 3

Are they? They get the same third party games as the other consoles.
Final Fantasy Revelation, RE Veronica, KH4, Witcher 3 Remasteres, Mobster Hunter Wilds.

These games will never hit phones.

All three are shooting themselves.
The industry is collapsing because it's the only largely unregulated media type people actually consume.
All three are dealing with the kinds of money that regular humans can no longer properly conceive of, or manage. So they hire people that say they can.
These people are largely insane psychopaths, who proceed to do their brand of murder, that, time and again, escapes the consideration that these people being hired might not have the best interest of the people hiring them in mind. That people who make their billions by stripping the corpses of other businesses might actually do that to them. They hired them, after all, someone you hired has to have your best interest in mind, right?
And so, the serial killers are given the keys to the old folk's home, and nature takes its course.

They still do, thats why consoles cost less than steam machine despite having better specs

Third party spending is up 76% YoY on NS2, massively outperforming NS1 or Wii/U. The problem is that third parties abandoned Nintendo platforms during the Iwata era so they'll have to groom that market again. It is getting better though, Onimusha on NS2 sold better than on Xbox. Nintendo ports frequently outsell PC ports also. Nintendo support isn't going anywhere and in fact it's improving due to the hardware extending what's possible on the console, the PS6 simply cannot be a substantial enough jump to leave Nintendo in the dust so it's not like the Switch 2 will be power-limited like what happened at the end of the NS1-era.

NTA but are you agreeing with them? You're posting figures for first party Nintendo releases. The decline in first party sales is a direct consequence of the explosion in 3rd party sales.

it's literally just americans that are crashing the industry

Xbox hasn't had any relevance since mid xbox360. I believe they barely have a tenth of the sales of playstation
>>
>>747424192
The real answer is that Xbox and PS5 are subsidiaries off bigger companies who view them a nothing more then business ventures. When profit starts to look questionable then private equity is going to start forcing them to do weird things to squeeze as much money out of them for as little investment as possible.

To Mr Goldstein who owns a large stake in Sony but knows nothing about video games, a name like Hideo Kojima is just some random Asian guy who likes to spend company dime on fancy dinner parties with top name celebrities because it's "required" for "game development". Why pay money for a hack who has yet to put out a resounding success like Fortnite or Roblox? We're cashing out now, so cut him off before he orders another $500 steak with Kim Kardashian or something retarded like that.

Nintendo on the other hand - gaming is all they have. Even their biggest IP is only a joint ownership with Game Freak. It's sink or swim. They don't have Sonys mass good manufacturing or Microsofts operating system dominance to fall back on. It's sell Mario, or sell nothing.
>>
>>747424587
2024 was one of Nintendo's weakest years ever, do a comparison for 2025

>PS5 Pro sold out everywhere
>GTA6 already sold 40million copies on PS5 alone
Buddy, you don't think anyone actually cares for Kirby, Yoshi, Air Riders, Donkey Kong, and Fire Emblem, do you?
Nintendo systems sell because of Mario Kart, Super Smash, Mario, Zelda, and more recently, Splatoon. The rest is just nice shovelware for people to put on a recommended exclusives list to pretend they aren't filthy casuals like the rest.
Yes, that is 5 more exclusive franchises that Nintendo has whereas PS and Xbox have 0, but at long as they can claim multiplat slop for themselves, Nintendo can't touch them and they can sell a hundred million units easily.
You should talk to your colleagues sometimes about video games and ask them whether they'd prefer to play Mario or their favorite sports' game.
