Xbox/Anti-Sony cult:

- stanning over-priced pre-builds (that they're not going to buy) after attacking PS5 Pro's value for months on end

- stanning Switch 2 as a last resort (they don't actually play or own it)

- praying for an industry crash, because if Xbox can't win, they'd rather gaming die as a whole (literally cult behavior)

Did I miss anything?
That's the most pathetic of it all. Imagine being that deep into console wars that you rather a catastrophic event happens simply because your favorite brand isn't on top anymore.

:why: fukk you talking about?
In the same way nintendo has a generation of gamers who grew up on nintendo, playstation has the same.


Yall get on here everyday and talk about how amazingly popular playstation brand is, and you can see that popularity leads to favorable coverage for nintendo. But the idea of that possibly also being the case for playstation is totally out of the question to you.

Sony stan bubble is real :wow:

I own a Switch and 3DS with plenty of games. I got a N64 that I sometimes hook up, too.

Sony Stans love console warring until Nintendo and PC get brought up
It's amazing breh, they go on and on about console hardware sales, software sales, and 1st party exclusives.

Nintendo gets mentioned "Stop deflecting" or "oh they don't count, they aren't selling traditional console hardware anymore" or "their fans buy everything."

The best one is Nintendo doesn't count because it's not a high end console so it's in a separate category.

This the only part i think is untrue

Nintendo is the one who always had consistent success with portables via gameboys, PlayStation tried with the psp/pspgo and those did well but everything after fell flat afterwards cuz they never developed classic portable-specific IP like nintendo had with pokemon

Nintendo merging their home and portable concepts was always gonna be the most logical progression as technology got better, PlayStation didn't force nothing over there, mobile gaming runs japan in general so it's really the big flex when you think about it
Nintendo used to make dedicated hone Consoles. PlayStation's position in the home console space absolutely contributed to Nintendo drifting away from conventional consoles starting with them deciding not to compete on hardware specs anymore and ending with the Wii U disaster and resulting in the Switch.

If I'm Nintendo we would be better off making a home console that sells around 100 million like the Wii and a dedicated portable that sells that and more than just a single device that does somewhere in the middle.

They used to sell multiple devices to the same customers.

Next time someone (me) brings up that exclusives sell consoles, I don't want to hear anything from you when Nintendo is used as an example.

Nintendo vs Sony vs Microsoft reminds me of MJ/Bron/Russell.

MJ fans (Sony) = "Bron is trash, 6-0 versus 4-6"

Bron fans (M$) = "Bron is the best based on XYZ criteria and ABC reasons. How exactly do you measure success? 10 finals >> 6 finals"

Russell fans (Nintendo) = "Russell was the MAN on 11 championship teams...more rings than boffum combined. Now what?"
This is a pretty bad analogy

Japan leans toward mobile gaming, it still makes sense for them to value delivering that product knowing that no other company can even remotely compete with them over wasting money also developing a home console that can only do that.


Why continue splitting console sales with PlayStation and Microsoft when you have the entire mobile lane to yourself and you're based in a place where mobile gaming stands above everything else? Better off spending that extra money on pushing your switch developments

Also

Nintendo has now trumped Sony for 20 years in Japan | VGC

That means Nintendo has now dominated the physical software charts in Japan every year since 2005. In 2004, eight out of the top 10 best-selling games were PS2 titles, but Nintendo has taken the majority of Japan’s top ten sellers every year since.

Based on Famitsu’s weekly hardware sales for 2024, Switch was also comfortably the year’s best-selling hardware platform, with PS5 outselling Switch (all versions combined) during only three weeks of the year.


That means Nintendo has had the best-selling game hardware in Japan in all but one year (when PSP was the leading platform) for the past two decades, across Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, and Switch.


^^^^^^^^

Nintendo is SIGNIFICANTLY bigger than PlayStation in japan, where they are based at, you may be glossing over their own bias towards who is running shyt at home vs. how you feel about them in the US

They aren't pressed about anything PlayStation is doing and never were

The Ps4 beat the breaks off the Wii U so badly it made Nintendo merge it's console and handhell divisions.

Beat M$ so bad it turned them into a publisher.

Conversely Sony would kill for a handheld and/or publishing division to rival nintendo/microsoft.

Seems all three have found a lane and it’s time for the warriors to move on :ehh:

I've said time and time again Nintendo is in a different league and people do by their systems for their exclusives.

Neither Xbox nor PlayStation have the IP powerhouse that Nintendo has so it doesn't even make sense to lump them all together.

Also if exclusives really matter to y'all Sony stans like y'all claim, you all should have a switch 2 currently and at least one exclusive game.
:mjpls:
