Year of the switch 2? Gimme a break! Fucking Nintendo with their kiddie games and old ass game franchises sucks, they sell a lot but the only games that are great are the monolith ones.
Sony and ms move in another realm where they make games for different audiences, not just kids.

 

[Schmendrick]

Sony doesn`t have to do anything.
The target demographics for a full powered stationary and a handheld aren`t cannibalizing each other as we`ve already seen.
And MS doesn`t really matter anymore anyways.

Nintendo games are not 'kids games'.

Grow up.

Flight Simulator 2024 for PS5, with PS5 Pro patch.

Win for both Micro and Sony.

You and your views again. Views are not sales.

Actually… More views is more public knowledge about a product and that can be translated into more sales. That’s why trailers exist and are really important for the companies… Is called Marketing. So yes… Views=Sales.

 

[Matsuchezz]

Grow up.

Yes they are. I mostly hear parents talking about getting their kids Nintendo games. Just because old ass gamers keep buying Nintendo consoles and their games doesn’t mean that Nintendo create games for Mature audiences, they simply don’t tackle adult themes with their cartooney game characters.

Views equal sales is the most retarded statement Ive ever read on Neogaf in the past twenty years.

Just because the games don't feature 'adult themes', does not them, kids games.

"Oh no, colors!" "Oh no, I can't kill everyone? For kids!"

Once again, grow up dude. Gameplay above graphics. I thought people knew that by now. Guess you're prefer the latest COD, so mature!

 

[Tajaz2426]

Make games without any storefronts and microtransactions. Let me earn the cool stuff playing the game and doing objectives that a small percentage do and let me have fun. Simple as that.

Can you explain then what’s the whole point of an trailer is? Can wait to read Mr. “Einstein”

Nintendo brainwashed their most loyal fanbase with their gameplay propaganda, as if they are the only company making great gameplay, they are stuck in the past with themes production values, music, voice overs, technology, performance capture, and a long list of missing pieces. Kids nowadays just settle for bare mínimum which is gameplay. I don’t own a single COD game. I prefer other games that are not Nintendo brand. I grew up with them since NES until ganecube. They are old fashioned and pretry lame imo
I don’t deny that their shit sell like hotcakes.

 

[StereoVsn]

You and your views again. Views are not sales.

And if it’s not Switch 1 exclusive (very likely), it’s going to sell great on Switch 1 and not necessarily get everyone to buy Switch 2.

Plus a lot of casual audience is perfectly happy with MK8 anyways. And likely $400-500+ price (depending on the country) will make that audience potentially stick with Switch 1 longer.

All the shit is not important for Nintendo games. Voice overs? Performance capture? Cmon man. Stop tripping. I own all consoles bar a Xbox console right now, and yes Nintendo's gameplay is king.

 

[Pandawan]

What Does MS & Sony Have To Respond To The Year Of The Switch 2?

They have to start porting their games to Switch 2.

Nintendo plays chess not checkers. They know these bloated budgets are unsustainable and the bells and whistles are unnecessary. They don't care about impressing the tech geeks who have digital foundry homepaged.

 

[64gigabyteram]

Once again, grow up dude. Gameplay above graphics

There are companies out there that are capable of providing both

Exhibit A:

 

[Beechos]

i dont think for a second nintendo will be getting any crazy amount of 3rd party support with switch. Itll be the same as previous gens with the same pubs with their half ass attempts with only certain franchises.

So?

Since my daughter got into gaming Switch has become by far the most used console in our house.

PS5 has AstroBot and Ratchet, but that’s it really.

Xbox has fuck all.

Sony, and especially Microsoft, should bear this in mind more.

 

[Matsuchezz]

I know they are not important for their kiddie games. That’s why they are irrelevant for me. I don’t care if you own a gb advanced too.

Cool, i am glad your daughter enjoys the switch. I don’t mean to be disrespectul.

 

[Brakum]

I honestly i dont consider them to be even in the same market anymore.

 

[Ar¢tos]

I don't get it. Why would they have to do anything in response to the Switch 2?
Is this some kind of erotic fantasy that people will replace their Ps5s and Xboxes with Switch 2 by the millions?

Switch 2 will co-exist with ps5 and XSX, just like Switch 1 did...

 

[PatientGamer]

Microsoft's response is to release their library of titles on Switch 2.

Sony's response is PS6 + Portal 2 whenever that drops.

Though Sony don't need to respond, they're in an entirely different market.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Cool, i am glad your daughter enjoys the switch. I don’t mean to be disrespectul.

No problem, I think people really underestimate how big cross generational gaming now.

The generation that grew up with games now has kids, and these old franchises like Mario, Zelda and Kirby can bring generations together.

 

[SHAKEZ]

Xbox is just glorified third party now, Sony has Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2 I guess, but I don't think it's nearly enough against the launch of a new switch.

 

[Matsuchezz]

As far as I remember Miyamoto himself has acknowledged that their Internal teams are not capable of creating Mature themed games, that is why they have acquired other companies such as Monolith Soft and Retro Studios. I know Nintendo doesn’t persue state of the art tech nor graphics, but we are playing VIDEOgames and cool visuals are expected. Old ass graphics are not ok.
Nintendo realizes their games will sell no matter what, people complain that playstation is the house of remasters and remakes but they are all wrong. Nintendo is the house of remasters HD versions and the like.

I am no longer replying to you guys. This will go nowhere you won’t change my mind and i am not changing yours.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Sony's always got a couple lesbian simulators ready to go.

Not gonna lie.... I kinda want this.

 

[reinking]

Nothing. Nintendo does Nintendo. Sony does Sony (and looks like they are dialing back the GAAS). Microsoft is going to do what Microsoft is going to do. They have not revealed those plans yet but it could include announcing their own handheld or putting their games on the Switch 2. Haven't people been saying all along that Nintendo doesn't need to win the spec war because they do their own thing?

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

GTA6 won't be on the Switch 2.

This year will be the year of GTA6. Game will sell consoles and sell like a fucking bajillion copies. There's nothing Nintendo can put out that competes with GTA.

 

[Chuck Berry]

First off this reads like chatGPT no offense

EverydayBeast has competition? Awwww shit

 

[Ebrietas]

How is the switch 2 any more of a threat than switch 1? Sony hasn’t been struggling to sell ps4 and ps5 during this time.

Maybe wait until Nintendo actually announces a launch price and launch lineup before assuming this thing is just going to magically fly off shelves…

 

[Zacfoldor]

GTA? Bloodborne 2 announcement? I got nothing.

 

[Shifty1897]

Microsoft has a bunch of exclusives to release on Switch 2, like the Master Chief collection.

Sony has a bunch of single player lesbian simulators and live service games to release (or cancel) on PS5.

 

[bad guy]

Nintendo games are for kids, PS5 launched with Spiderman and Sackboy.

In the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-Five, the narrative that Nintendo only makes "kiddie" is still around is more astounding than ever. Lemme guess, Anime is only for kids because its a cartoon? Ice Cream is for babies. This amount of willful ignorance is impressive as it is archaic. I am your friend and I look forward to more of your post.

 

[mdkirby]

I’m not sure they need to do all that much, Nintendo is always just away in its own little world. Mostly pretty different audience (albeit with some crossover)

 

[K' Dash]

Brace for impact?

Nintendo will have at least 3 years where current gen games will easily run on their hardware cause we are still playing fucking PS4 games.

By the time the new games run poorly they will be 60 million in and sell another 60 million just by first party exclusives and japanese third party support.

 

[EN250]

If GTA6 comes this year there is not a single thing nintendo can release to compete with that.

And playstation wll be the biggest benifactor of GTA6.

Kind of sad to bet everything on GTAVI because they have nothing else to show since they keep fumbling it with their trash GAAS initiative...

 

[GigaBowser]

Im sorry my friends Switch 2 will domornate

Yeah, sure... people for sure will spend another 400-450$ to play ps4 version when they haven't spent it to buy ps5.... it's not saying that this hardware will have ZERO future-proof
Way to go to play big-screen gaming (no)
By the time switch get meaningful installbase, their "ps4 level crossgames" would run at 512p in a docked mode and look like a complete disaster on any big screen (like Switch did).

people will spend their money to play their switch library, new games and new Nintendo releases portably.

This is the kind of post that end up being laughed at in 3 years time.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Sony has Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Tsushima's sequel, GTAVI (which will be the biggest game release of all time) basically as an exclusive at this point with Xbox failing with its sales and probably a price drop.

This alone + the fact that Switch 2 is only releasing in like June means Sony could end up selling the most this year as well.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

MS needs to announce the Switch Box.

It's an Xbox branded console that boots either a Nintendo or Sony console, forcing you to play on this company's console from now on!

 

[TheGodfather07]

PlayStation is the default console for the masses who play 3rd party games, so they don't need to do anything and they'll still manage to sell 15m+ units for the year. Nintendo isn't even direct competition to them. They don't have the same library of games.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Sony will probably have trailers and tons of astroturfing by the usual console warriors.
Microsoft will fight Swich 2 intensely by releasing several games for it inmediately.

In a thread about what Sony and Microsoft as companies will do, you're the first to bring up something about console warriors. Ironic.

Would it be possible to create a portable Series S with a good battery time? Gamepass on the go would be fun.

 

[bundylove]

Talk to me when you can run silent hill2 remake on the switch

And vr games

 

[Ozriel]

Switch 2 launch is kinda a blessing in disguise for MS. Fans don’t really rage at games ported to Nintendo hardware, so solid opportunity to make a decent chunk of money from ports of older titles, and of course day 1 releases for stuff like Doom (likely) and COD.

Sony’s probably going to get the worst of it, since it’ll basically suck up all the hardware and software money in Japan, and dominate hardware everywhere else until GTA6 launch.

 

[Ozriel]

Not possible at this time without having terrible battery life.

Talk to me when you can run silent hill2 remake on the switch

Are we talking about the same Silent Hill 2 Remake that runs on the Steamdeck, despite limited optimization for the platform by the developer?
