Beating Nintendo is not difficult, you just need to break the bond between Nintendo consumers and Nintendo by attacking the supposed quality of Nintendo products with a campaign. Just get this one and everything will fall like a hanafuda castle.
Sony has no interest in Nintendo losing relevance as they are both Japanese companies.
PC isn't competition for home consoles.Because PCs exist.
If PCs were not a thing, Sony would have the monopoly of super popular games that nobody will play on a Nintendo Switch: GTA, Mihoyo games, Sony's first party and a very long etc.
So no, they aren't in direct 1-to-1 competition, as they are with XBOX and secondly, PC.
Nintendo has the handheld market. Sony, the home console. As said above, the overlap is tangential. Nobody is buying a Nintendo Switch to play third party games. It's a nice-to-have but not the primary buying factor.
Well, wether they consider Nintendo competition or not, they've been curb stomping PS for a while, not only in sales but games too.

Hum...you do know Playstation makes more money than Nintendo and last time i checked they are basically tied in terms of MAU right?Legit, I dont think Nintendo see Sony as competition anywhere. Theyve eclipsed them and elevated to a whole other level now. It would take a colossal fuck up to change that.
Anyone who uses this meme for anything clearly didn't watch Mad Men lol.
They can't really compete with Nintendo in the traditional sense (i.e. making and selling software that the JP user base prefers), but they currently have a tight grip on the JP console gacha scene. They continue to sign exclusive deals for new gachas, and that's not because of Xbox; it's because they want to maintain their dominance in the JP console gacha space, which is incredibly lucrative (JP has the highest ARPU in gaming out of any nation, and players love spending their money on gachas). For example, the top 6 spots by revenue each month this year on JP PSN have consistently been held by Genshin (gacha), ZZZ (gacha), HSR (gacha), Wuthering Waves (gacha), eFootball (F2P), along with the occasional big release like MH Wilds, Nightreign, Oblivion, and Expedition 33.Let's be real here there is not much competition in Japan, Nintendo already won there.
Especially when Sony mostly focusing on western games.
Right? It's like a condition in their contractMan nobody likes to yap about their old jobs and come out looking dumber for it than these ex-Playstation guys, hey?
Jeeeesus. Is this what Sony fans think like.....
What a fucking weird way to think about entertainment.
Why do you take one guy's weird post and turn it into what "Sony fans think"? Can't be just that one guy?
Jeeeesus.
Just recently Playstation made more profits than Nintendo but that was because of Switch 1 at the end of its lifecycle.Hum...you do know Playstation makes more money than Nintendo and last time i checked they are basically tied in terms of MAU right?
How has Nintendo "eclipsed" them?
Just recently Playstation made more profits than Nintendo but that was because of Switch 1 at the end of its lifecycle.
Switch has made $27 billion profits which is more than the entire Playstation profits history.
Switch 2 is going to net Nintendo much higher profits than the original Switch. We can expect Nintendo to make more profits than PS5 effortlessly.
Just to expand on this because this meme is a pet peeve of mine lol.Anyone who uses this meme for anything clearly didn't watch Mad Men lol.

Where are you getting $27 billion in profits from?
Didn't they launch their State of Play literally the day before Switch 2 launched? And also dud the Days of Summer sale during the launch as well?How does a company consider another one a competitor?
It responds to whatever they do.
Rest assured, if a new xbox was launching instead of Switch 2, Sony would have moved around their SOP and added some games to steal their thunder.
Its Nintendo so they didn't respond.
Basically the marketing dept and CEO decide amongst themselves who they think is a competitor or not.How does a company consider another one a competitor?
Eh....I'm seeing Switch has$18 billion in profits during the Switch years (to 2024). 2696 billion yen. Another $2 billion in FY 2025 based on the chart below, it has eclipsed PS overall, but I don't see $27 billion
