Metroid is on switch 1 I forgot.

Pokopia is still an exclusive Pokemon game for a top 5 IP in the world.


Not really sure how much more people can ask for, especially when PlayStation and Xbox players were more than happy with just PS5 and XSX versions of cross generation games.
Again everyone was buying a PS5 for multiple reasons, substantial upgrades from the PS4(remember most of these 30fps games?) with next gen features, BC that automatically improved everything(faster load times, stable frames, free patches for 60fps) and we already know it's the MAIN system that has potential for big games in the future. The first reveal event and showcase before the system even came out already had Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, God of War Ragnarok, FFXVI, Horizon FW, GT7, Ratchet and Clank, Miles Morales, Pragmata, and Forspoken announced.

What has Nintendo announced that's on that level so far?

*crickets*

You can't try and now downplay Nintendo exclusives breh when that has always been your one trump card to defending exclusives. Like it's nasty work to flip flop like that.

I'm assuming you mean the Series X and s here

How am I downplaying exclusives when I'm saying they legit have strong exclusives especially for a less than ONE year old console.

You all are the ones saying "it's not the right exclusives"... Im saying that the cut in hardware probably has more to do with the economy and the industry and not because of a lack of Nintendo games.

Switch 2 came out and has done stupid numbers and you all in here thinking "oh they cutting back because they don't have enough of the right kind of exclusives" is cope

In reality

lol seeing people cling to pokopia to justify a 500 dollar handheld marketed toward children has been entertaining

The elephant in the room is that the switch hardware and software are way overpriced and these little casual spin-off games and old or lesser than 3rd party ports aren’t gonna cut it

People want Mario and Zelda (and smash)

It’s gonna get bad when they gotta raise the hardware price later this year

Pretty dumb thing to say when that's millions of not billions of people.

Not everyone is trying to play hyper realistic l, gory violent or even story rich games.


And on the flip side their are tons of folks who spent hundreds or a thousands on Roblox and Minecraft computer rigs... Strictly to play those games.

Or how about... you can walk and chew gum? Everything isn't just black and white. There's nuance, something you guys love to pretend you don't understand. It's not ONE thing that is the cause in cutting hardware. I said it's more likely a multitude of reasons including games but you're trying to pretend that a Mario Kart game(one that's said to not even be the best one yet) and a DK game is enough to sustain the console especially when nothing else majorly has been announced meanwhile the Switch 1 already had several hits with more announced in the pipeline by this time.

I can't continue this convo in seriousness if you're going to pretend that Mario Odyssey, Zelda BOTW, MK8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and then a new Smash Bros game is somehow the same as what's going on now. Y'all acting like we said MK and DK is ass. I'm just saying the state of the economy isn't having that same effect on PS5 for some reason. Hell you see more people buying PS5 Pros right now.

It's this. These dudes love to console war rage bait then when you engage them they pretend they aren't doing it :mjlol:
Sony stans dumb.


I'll make it easy.

The cut in hardware isn't due to a lack of 1st party exclusives or the the ones they chose.

Y'all can try to flip that how you want.

The cut in hardware isn't due to one thing.
