Is the Switch success something good for the industry?
It doesn't matter, because Nintendo doesn't shake up the status quo. The competition does steal their game peripheral ideas tho. That's the length of it.
Not at all. It's garbage hardware and has no games besides Wii U ports and ports of Steam indies. Lazy, low effort trash. Nintendo hasn't made a good game in well over a decade.
you're a faggot and you don't deserve my time but mario odyssey is a good ass game
maybe?
it's a good thing that we're still getting devices with new features as the main selling point rather than only upping the specs.
on the other hand the entire design of the hardware is a big compromise between a console and portable so it does limit what features you can have with it than separate console and portable designs
Of course.
It teaches that caring about your players without censoring their games won't cost you everything you built up for years.

As for OP, I believe so because we can see AA games thrive on the platform and they're way more interesting than modern AAA games.
Anti shilling makes you a Jew now? Fucking kys nu-Yea Forums.
It's better than Xbox or Valve success I think
If Xbox succeeds thats a bad message, at least Nintendo makes A game every 4-6 years
Nintendo has been holding back video games for over a decade with their out of date hardware and copy-and-paste game design.
Sometimes you gotta feel bad for these "men"
Four months into the year and they've already been left out of Resident Evil 2, Kingdom Hearts 3, Devil May Cry 5, Sekiro and countless others
And all they have to show for it is Smash, YIIK and Tetris 99
You weren't even trying with your low effort. It deserves a low effort response.
Nintendo's games don't make anyone else's better or worse, nor do they force you to develop for their platform. They aren't holding anything back
No because a world where Nintendo always wins would have consoles with so little power that games like MHW are virtually impossible to pull off outside of PC
As long as it isn't Sony, it's good.
I have a PC
>KoH 3
Miss me with that gay shit
Reminder that majority of Switch Owners are now Female.
Nintendo being successful is irrelevant to the industry, an overwhelming amount of developers already don't support Nintendo, and any games from third parties that land on Nintendo platforms are ports of older games or severely cut down ports, in truth the success of a Nintendo platform doesn't impact the market outside of Nintendo at all.
How was it low effort? My comment is the first one, not the console-war one. You just saw my comment and took it as an attack to your favorite corporation and seethed. Sad.
lol, so many sales and people still watch melee over ultimate.
No it's a stagnant piece of tech that manbabies ate up on principal. No games, shit performance.
Meanwhile, snoy's success has done nothing but damage the industry
>easy mode MH wouldnt exist if Ninty still had it
Lmao
..then just play pc? what is the problem here?
>inb4 poorfag who only get 1 platform to play on
Has anything notable even come out for it recently besides Smash Bros? It feels like the console has completely run out of steam. If they had revealed a Majora's Mask-esque sequel to BOTW or actually made Prime 4 on time I'd very likely buy it, but Smash and BOTW is not enough for me to pick one up
Rent free
>reee my pedo weeb games!
0/10 bait, Sony is the only company making good games and hardware anymore.
in what way?
>It's okay when snoy does it
Because they dont "innuvate" is a lackluster excuse since they're always pumping out new IP while the competition's 1st party line up are nearly all familiar titles or ideas we've seen before.
All those good Sony games. Bloodborne and....
Man it doesn't feel like any real blockbuster game is coming out for the switch this year
maybe? i guess it's proof that emulation and piracy don't actually kill hardware sales
Cope
What about the Last of Us and the Odor 1886? In fact, why don't we go further back to them started and enabling the trend of movie games since the 90s?
Guys, I just ordered a switch and I feel like a fag. I don't want to be basedfag, but it's too late now. I like zelda and mario, but I don't want to. I'm a PC fat mostly, I also used to own a PS1, PS2, PS3 and I have a PS4.
I'll obviously never take the switch outside of my house, but I still feel like a basedboy. I'm 24 and I'm unironically going to play bing bing wahoos. What is wrong with me? Is there any way to stop it before it gets too bad? I haven't shaved in a while too and I think I'm starting to bald a little.
PC plays all of those multiplats just fine, I wouldn't have bought them on switch even if they were on there.
Who plays multiplats on consoles?
I said they don't change the status quo, not that they don't innovate. Nintendo doesn't try and compete with the other consoles. They do their own thing. You faggots seethe at the first sight of any criticism to your corporations I swear.
>The competition does steal their game peripheral ideas tho
Which would mean that they do shake the status quo.
Can you imagine how this will look when Super Mario Maker 2 is out ? Then we get pokemon AND fucking Animal Crossing in the autumn ?
I say 23 million, CONSERVATIVE
because that it just how it is
nintendo games never really feel like gangbuster with the like of gta, but they end up often sell very fucking well and made them shit lot of money
pokemon and animal crossing gonna move a lot of consoles for them in the holiday season
At this point it's effectively a dead platform, for the entire first half of 2019 the Switch has 2 new non indie exclusive, Yoshi's Crafted World and Super Mario Maker 2, that's an entire 6 months, and for the most part that's their main lineup too, in the PS4's first month of the year it had a better lineup than what Nintendo has for it's first half of the year. Outside of this Nintendo has a combination of shovelware and casual comforters, things like Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, and Pokemon, but that's about it.
You fucked up bigtime, it's yos content isn't even really the big drag, it's biggest issue is that it has no games, there are maybe 4 games coming for the remainder of the year, and basically you fucked up bigtime.
I don't think any game will help you be less of a fag, might as well just play whatever you want/
Don't worry, you just have to get rid of your ps4. You see when it feels threatened by other systems it releases waves of estrogen.
What's wrong with you is that somehow took snoyim shitposting to heart. You can do better
you mean 23 more million? that would be too much imo, 5-10 would be more realistic
>that little skin coloured tab
>0.01BTC
Fucking Nice, where can I get these ShillBucks®?
I'm actually mostly serious. I don't want to be a numale. I tried fighting against it, but I'm losing.
I also owned a 3DS last year, but sold it after my family made fun of me.
100 million and counting
23 million for 2019.
Well. Last year they had Smash, that felt like a big title for a month. In 2017 they had BotW, which felt like a huge release. Mario is debatable. But I get what you mean
Should be over that in a year of 2, no worries
Hows your hairline? that's the real mark of a nu male. Anyway that's not really relevant, cancel your Switch order, it has no games, it has no games coming, just enjoy watching Nintendo's E3 this year for the cringe.
Yeah, but those peripherals didn't become successful for the others at all. They were flops and it only worked for Nintendo. The best use that creation of theirs was used for the others is the reuse of move controls for the PSVR.
Sounds like its too late for you. Just play whatever you want, you would have been a huge faggot regardless
Caring this much about your social standing and what peers think is the trait of a woman. You should probably get your testosterone levels checked out.
In a year or two we'll have the PS5 and bingtendies will be TWO generations behind
No? It just means everyone else does what they do, but better.
>I'm actually mostly serious
So am I. What you're feeling is the ps4 feminizing you, why do you think the lgbt community saw a boom when the ps4 sales started to increase?
>US
Cherrypicking. The shitch is nowhere near as successful as the PS4 worldwide.
>The competition does steal their game peripheral ideas tho
Nintendo stealed ideas from niche companies back in the day too and claimed it as their own.
They never did something original
Innovation and changing the status quo are the same thing brainlet. Or do you think that all their attempts to create new trends instead of just upping the power of their consoles aren't changing the status quo?
Also they do alot of things I don't like (like a crummy paid online system and locking rooms behind said system) but they are also doing exactly what you're criticizing them for.
>keep spouting the dead console meme while it still selling like hotcake weeks after weeks
also pretty nice to somehow omit games like deamon x machine, astral chain, fire emblem, the zelda remake
>inb4 all of those are shit anyway
just stating a fact of life.
Both of those ( and Oddyssey, and Mario Kart) Hover around 15 million.
Wanna know how many 15 million exclusive the PS4 got ? 0
Snoyim have deluded themselves that selling hardware meant that their game were appreciated, while most of it is bought by 3rd worlders who need a cheap trash console to play Fifa and multiplats because they can't afford a PC
>They were flops and it only worked for Nintendo
Which is exactly why they're still trying to copy them, they know it can be successful so they continue to try.
Yes those many amazing Sony games like Bloodborne.... And... Bloodborne: The Old hunters DLC
>You should probably get your testosterone levels checked out.
I will. The sudden urge to play nintendo games is probably a symptom of low t.
As I said, I used to be a PCfag and a sony pony. Last year I finally got my first nintendo console (3ds), played a bunch of games and enjoyed it.
I'm getting the urge again. I can't fight it.
But will it have games ? Big doubt.
Tell me, snoyim friend, whats your favorite PS4 exclusive ? It's been 6 years.
So shaking the status quo.
(You)
Bing bing Wahoo!
Yes. It means Sony is finally falling downward which they deserve.
>MFW I've been going PC+Nintendo for the last two gens
>MFW watching console weenies screeching about how I don't get to play their shitty AAA multiplats while I pirate them on my 2080
>MFW I get to bring my switch to the office and play all of the fun exclusives that Nintendo platforms always get while consoleweenies argue about whether or not their console can claim second place in terms of graphics compared to PC
Of course all nintendies buy those games, there's no other games to buy on their fisher price tablets
hard to believe god of war, uncharted and bloodborne can't break 15 mil with the install base, are those number count digital as well?
actually bloodborne i don't think is that much of a blockbuster title for sale anyway so ignore that one
More options for people who play games, do yes. The more ways and platforms to play games the better.
Don't feel bad for these man children. These are the same type of "men" that love watching the girl of their dreams get railed by black men. Sure the Switch might sell well. At the end of day though its just another way to keep men docile and weak. The Switch is a fucking joke. Enjoy your shitty 3rd party last gen games and all 3 Mario games you retards get. lol
Same desu. Can't wait for bloodlines 2, RDR2 and cyberpunk 2077 desu.
Meanwhile I'll play my switch and the occasional multiplat.
Pretty smart of Nintendo to look back at a variety of sources for inspiration.
Why can't Sony do a little more research like that and improve on old failed ideas instead of making low quality copies of Nintendo's stuff?
>The sudden urge to play nintendo games is probably a symptom of low t.
Well no, the symptoms of low t. are.
Weakness in the limbs
Impotency
The need to praise TLoU and Horizon
And drinking onions based beverages
I enjoy nintendo, user. Don't make shitfling consolewar shit at me
I think you're just a bitch. I doubt the consoles have anything to do about it.
Best selling 4 months in a row at the end of the other console's life cycle? earth shattering. Will it dominate the 4 months in the row sales once the next gen of sony/ms comes out? Fucking retard
None of those games are going to sell, so they are largely irrelevant, the whole market is down, Nintendo aren't selling better the competition is selling worse because everyone knows that the next gen consoles are coming, and investing in current consoles is of no value.
By dead console I'm implying that it's a fucking irrelevant joke, third party support is still pathetic, it's still nothing but lazy as fuck old ports like rune factory 4, and severely cut down piles of shit like mortal kombat 11.
Because Sony has never been a creative company.
Hell the ps1 for the most part was made by Nintendo while only the parts came from Sony.
>They innovate, but nothing they innovate changes what happens on the other consoles. They try to implement Nintendo's ideas on the PS4 with move and Kinect, but they failed and people bought and played Xbox and PlayStation for their own thing. The COMPANIES tried to change the status quo, but the people said no and so it remains the same.
Right, and PS4 has so many games avalaible that nobody buy any of them.
>intellivision has a dpad
confirmed for not having used one
I'm good then because I have none of those.
So the ponies lied?
>in 2016., Switch was announced
''Fucking lol, Nintendo. This thing is dead on arrival!''
>it's the current year and Switch sales are pretty good
''B-b-but it's shit! I-it's not even a real console! Bing bing wahoo.''
The fun never ends with you Snoys.
>fire emblem and zelda titles won't sell
Pretty much yeah. Though you could have a reaction if you come within 30 meters of a ps4.
goalpost getting moved like a motherfucker im telling you
>Sony invented movie games
They are called visual novels, and they existed on PC years before Playstation was even a thing.
No.
Nintendo are just repeating the same portable success as usual. It doesn't really affect the rest of the industry.
No, the install base is just so big and varied that different people have different tastes. Is this too hard for your little nintendie brain to understand?
>footjob simulator
Wtf I love Labo now!
>2005
>HAHAHA FUCKING NINTENDOFAGS GET READ THE PS3 IS GOING TO BLOW YOU OUT OF THE WATER
>POWER OF THE CELL BABY HAHAHA
>FUCKIN WII MOTES LOOK LIKE A DEELDO LMAO

>w-whatever the wii is a baby console anyway
>Who cares if the Xbox 360 has better looking multiplats its just a dudebro console
>a-at least I have Underage Panty Quest
I said that they started the TREND, not that they invented it
Thats not what a "movie game" is you melon
When your taste in video games is dictated by memes
Why does that matter a thing when third party support is still pathetic? the Switch is going to end up in an early grave just like every other Nintendo platform because third parties don't treat it seriously, and Nintendo has no interest in ever rectifying this, the platform will continue some growth until it's apex this year with Pokemon, hitting a height of around 18 million units in a year, after that sales will decline sharply, going to 12 million, then to 6 million, then right off of the cliff at less than 1 million, tally that up and you've got a total lifetime sales of 68 million, a pathetic number for a Nintendo handheld, and a pathetic number for a console people are trying to claim is Nintendo's "comeback"
Fire Emblem's popularity was a flash in the pan, 2d Zelda isn't a big seller anymore, there is nothing to worry about, Nintendo's 2019 is pathetic.
>everyone knows that the next gen consoles are coming, and investing in current consoles is of no value
Yeah, I mean, why should anyone who still doesn't own PS4 buy it now and play games on it when he or she can wait until 2020. to buy PS5. Duh.
Just because the other platforms fail doesn't mean they dont succeed with their version.
They've made plenty of failures too such as Virtual Boy, Gamecube, Wii U and 3DS.
You claim they dont change the status quo but they do indeed do so when the competition tries to emulate their ideas and their failures still count as attempts at changing the status quo.
Because the PS5 will have backwards compatibility.
Yes. It fulfills a sizable niche.
It’s literally just an HD Gameboy it was inevitable.
Now they don't even have underage panty quest now. And they still snoygger. Just wait until they start cutting their dicks just because snoy said so.
>the install base is just so big and varied that different people have different tastes
And yet they all buy the end trash.
Yeah, that's what they said in the beginning. After that, they said PS5 will play PS4 discs.
>PS4 discs
And what about games I bought on PS Store?
>Sonic Adventure 2 somehow inspired Mario Galaxy
Yeah, nah. Mad Space was a shit stage and ruined SA2 for me.
Mario quite literally has a game for every god damn genre
Mariokart and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom battle play nothing alike
PS5 will be backwards compat
>And what about games I bought on PS Store?
Same as always.
>Who plays multiplats on consoles?
99% of the vg market
So plebs, got it.
>Same as always.
They won't carry over then, got it.
So I have no need to buy a ps5.
Since when was Yea Forums supposed to give a fuck about what fags playing FIFA, GTA and Call of Duty do?
>everything that isn't bing bing wahoo kiddie shit is trash
Cope.
I did say it works for them. They change their own status quo without effecting the other gaming consoles and PC. They have their own thing. That's what I'm trying to say. It doesn't matter if the competition tries to steal their ideas if it doesn't succeed. Thats the corporations trying to change the status quo. If people don't buy it or support it, it won't change the status quo. It didn't change shit.
the success of the Switch just makes me feel even more disconnected from humanity
It would be fucking hilarious if you put a PS4 disc in a PS5 console and you can't download patches, not to mention DLCs.
>m-muh incel games
fuck off redditor
You do because it will have new games, but I was arguing against someone who thinks buying a PS4 now is a good idea when the PS5 is about to come out and will have the whole PS4 library made available to it day 1, minus digital only games which are never good anyway.
>Soiboi ashamade of liking things
Pathetic
[Citation Needed]
>out of date hardware
If you, as a developer are unable to realise your vision on Switch-level hardware, then no hardware will be satisfactory.
Special exceptions go to VR and other technologies, but seeing as most games on PC/PS4 are just 7th gen games using the rest of their system's resources primarily for graphics, there's no excuse.
They ain’t got shit now
Underaged panty quest 4 Headpats edition with Foot massage expansion is now a Nintendo exclusive
Yes. They outright stated that they were against having any sorts of politics in their games. I hope other gaming companies do the same in the future.
Why?
For the most part it’s brought me closer to people
Playing Mariokart on our huge conference room tv with all my coworkers was awesome
sony got woke
>minus digital only games
You do know that, when people say ''I bought a game from Store'', they don't mean specifically ''digital only game''?
>You do because it will have new games,
Sony already confirmed that it won't have any for years and third parties will abandon them due to the censorship policy, so where will they come from?
Based.
Not as based as my 5, but still pretty based
What if my visions has a game with good graphics running at 1080p 60fps?
that kind of normie shit is not appealing to me I don't dislike the Switch as hardware nor hate the games for it it just doesn't interest me much outside of a handful of things and it being so popular is baffling to me
>graffix
But what about gameplay?
Because that wasn't a thing in the 90's you autistic sperg
Probably because he doesn't have anyone to communicate with.
This is my 1st SK game and I only brought it because
“Fuck you Snoy I support lewdness!”
When I found out about the foot massage section I was hooked.
Then you're in the wrong industry.
You already dilated snoy " girl'?
Yeah that's perfectly possible.
>that wasn't a thing in the 90's
Oh, I guess MGS, X4, and MM8 didn't exist?
Define female
>Sony already confirmed that it won't have any for years and third parties will abandon them due to the censorship policy, so where will they come from?
The lack of early year PS4 titles this year shows that Sony have had PS5 games in development for multiple years, not only will there be PS5 only launch titles there will be cross gen titles that run at native 4k with other graphical enhancements too. Only 2 small third party studios have left Sony thanks to censorship, it's not an issue because Playstation is where the people who buy these games are, there are games still coming to Vita and not PC or Switch, that's how big of a difference there is in consumerbase.
no seriously, what is this?
>there are games still coming to Vita
Yeah. But only in Japan.
Just stop and think real quick user.
Look at the orginal Gameboy from 1989 and look at the Switch from 2017
They share a fuck ton in common
If you can figure out why the OG Gameboy was popular then you can most definitely figure out why the Switch is popular
>continuously comparing yourself to a 5+ year console generation and erasing the Wii U from memory
>treating the game industry as a stagnant market where records aren't overwritten nearly every year
I don't get it.
hardware wars are fucking retarded and have done literally nothing to advance games in any direction
There's literally not a single game developed for the current gen that impresses anyone in any department besides being more movie like than anything that could have just as well been made for PS3 hardware
>The lack of early year PS4 titles this year shows that Sony have had PS5 games in development for multiple years
That's what you guys said last year and the year before. When are these games coming exactly?
Who are you quoting?
Not an argument.
That would have made no sense last year considering God of War and Detroit both came out in the first half of last year, apply yourself retard.
You're mom
>That would have made no sense last year considering God of War and Detroit both came out in the first half of last year, apply yourself retard.
Oh wow, two games in the first half of the year and one in the second, that totally ended the drought.
I think Switch has saved gaming.
PS4 and Xbox are going down this dueling route of bigger better graphics, meanwhile half the games out there with gorgeous graphics have shit gameplay, and half the games out there with incredible gameplay have shit graphics, so it's like, why even bother.
In the annals of history "good enough" has always won.
Betamax was better than VHS, but VHS was cheaper and good enough. It won.
The YF-23 was better than the YF-22, but the YF-22 was cheaper and good enough. It won.
Many such cases. I feel like with competent game programmers the Switch is good enough. And it's cheaper. And you can play it on the go. And it has first party Nintendo games.
It's a winner.
>Not an argument.
Am I wrong?
You are right, games are coming out for Vita. But in Japan.
Same face since I get to emulate both botw and Mario Odyssey. PC/PS4 is the better combo.
>drought
The PS4 has year round releases, and cross gen is easier than ever, the PS5 is going to have a major year, and it's going to have Sony published exclusives on top of that.
Your point is actually a positive for me, the Vita in Japan alone is a better market for these companies to bring their games to rather than the PC or the Switch worldwide.
user wants to claim that third parties are jumping ship, which only about 2 have, and the reason being why the rest haven't is because the people who buy their games are on Playstation platforms, hence choosing the Vita over the PC/Switch, even though a PC/SWitch port is actually easier than a Vita one.
>PC/PS4 is the better combo.
Lol, no.
>the PS5 is going to have a major year
Just the like first 3 years of the PS4, right?
Definitely is, especially with an emulator in the work.
It would be more accurate to say that Nintendo takes existing ideas and makes them commercially successful
Then Sony copies Nintendo's commercial success
>the PS5 is going to have a major year, and it's going to have Sony published exclusives on top of that.
Yeah, they promised the same thing with the ps4 and it didn't get its first game until 2015. Since then the ps4 has been getting 2 - 3 exclusives a year and a metric fuck ton of vita ports to pad out their release schedule.
So where are the games?
cope
The switch IS good for the industry. It provides a positive environment for low spec games, which is why Indies are so fucking successful on it.
I mean, it delivered on what it promised, so I'd say so.
The only reason for a PS4 is to play multiplats with your friends who also have PS4s. PC/Switch and YouTube to play the Sony exclusives
This
Watch in like a year Sony introduces the PlayStation “Swap” that will be better spec wise but more expensive basically handing Nintendo the win in the world of Good enough
>Yuzu emulator
>Literally Popsicle sticks, Duct tape and prayers the emulator
Normies don’t have a 2,000$ computer to play console games that buying legitimately would cost way less
Plus it’s reintroducing AA games which honestly completely died for a while.
It was either AAA safe games or -B? 3DS games because they were so damn cheap to produce 100,000 sales meant a huge success for the company
Games that don't interest you does not mean they don't exist. Needing a PC to validate your console of choice means that the console is pretty poor. At least you find interest in watching playstation exclusive on youtube, I wouldn't even give a view for a switch exclusive playthrough.
holy shit $55 USD per post, where do I sign up?
