laughs at $90.
Vita was a misguided device on a lot of levels (way too high BOM, the device had an OLED screen!), and it was a different environment.
People want to view this new Switch like it's 2018, but the environment is not the same at all. People have and will get more options.
And we are in an environment where Steam has a handheld, Xbox will have a handheld, Lenovo/Asus/etc will have handhelds. Maybe even Sony will have a handheld.We're in the different environment where Sony doesn't have any portable handheld
They are changing it.I think Nintendo owes a lot of their current success to catering to their current fans but also being that second console purchase for most other gamers. Nintendo has embraced not being part of the console war and it has allowed them to still be liked by Sony, Microsoft and PC fans. I do not know if they plan to change that strategy going into the Switch 2 but it has worked up until now.
Sony makes the same amount of revenue as the other two combined. So I guess they won in the only metric that matters in the end.Don't all three companies make approximately the same money on gaming now?
Is there a clear winner?

Yes, let's see the official source for these alleged game prices, in US dollars.What's $90 ?

As far as I can see Mario Kart World at $80 is the most expensive game.
Bullshit rumours on social media have taken over the facts though.
It's £75 in the UK which is only £5 more than I paid for FFXIV
It's the (not so) new way to try to take down brands, diffuse hype etc. sad, pathetic tactic by brand boys.As far as I can see Mario Kart World at $80 is the most expensive game.

When you add their sales tax it's going to be close to $90
It's the US RRP, I've yet to see anywhere selling it at $90
This.Because it's a console war, not a handheld war.
I couldn't care less about units sold , I play what I like, end of story. After experiencing Forza Horizon 5 on my Xbox Series X, I wouldn't even touch a game like Mario Kart. Who's the winner here ? Well, Mario Kart is garbage to me , I'd take FH5 any day of the week. So who wins? A glorified toaster of a handheld or a real home console beast ? The only real winner is your personal taste. Deal with it.

Source for this?Because SIE and Microsoft Gaming account for 87% of consumer spending.

Their revenues reflect that NSW sold 150m as a secondary console.
Secondary consoles tend to have lower ARPU and lower costumer retention.
The question is: Where does Nintendo fit in todays landscape; a world with less disposable income, less free time, higher prices, a wider array of entertainment options, and GTA 6 looming.
Can consumers afford a secondary console ?
Sony makes more revenue in gaming than MS and Nintendo combinedDon't all three companies make approximately the same money on gaming now?

The price in my country. Just to be clear, everything is pricier here not just Nintendo.What's $90 ?

It just sucks Nintendo added more.
PlayStation clearly don't think so, they are sending out survey asking about the Nintendo Switch 2 and its impact after the console unveiling:Nintendo is a separate market, just look at the games and their catalog in general compared to Sony and Microsoft, which except for the exclusives are virtually identical.
NDS > PSPPS1 > N64
PS2 > GC
PS4 > Wii U
PS4+PS5 > Switch

It's a Gen 9 console for sure with a 3+ year headstart on the PS5 and XSX.Wait, so is the Switch a PS4 gen console or a PS5 gen console?

Your replies and posts are a magnificent display of your undying love for the holy Nintendo toaster and your IQ that's bravely battling absolute zero. You basically agreed with me without even realizing it , probably because, instead of a brain, you've got a peanut rattling around in there. In the end, you just confirmed it's all a matter of taste, that there's no true winner or almighty overlord , just plain ol' personal preference. Bravo, Sherlock.I couldn't care less about units sold , I play what I like, end of story. After experiencing Mario Kart on my Switch, I wouldn't even touch a game like Forza Horizon.

From your very first reply, it's crystal clear you're a fanboy , so drop the act, stop pretending to be all edgy and wise, and quit fishing for likes from your fellow keyboard crusaders.
