The console war is over and Nintendo won.

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

^^^^^^^^

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

Japan is not the premier gaming market and hasn't been for a long time. Even Japanese companies are focused on the western market. Nintendo might beat Sony in Japan but who is the largest company in gaming and which one isn't?

Nintendo isn't pressed about Sony because they pretty much avoid directly competing with them and haven't really done so since the Gamecube. Nintendo came to the conclusion they couldn't out Playstation Playstation a long time ago after Playstation took market leader status from them.

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.

Sony have moved 282 million exclusives and you're putting bum ass Ms with them?

They had at least 15 titles move more units on just ps4 than Gears did on 360.

Microsoft has sold more than that with one game

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.

But PS4/ PS5 is basically an American console since Nintendo sonned them in Japan

That's a game they purchased after it was already released. It wasn't a product created under their watch. It's like crediting Sony for Destiny. Yeah they own it but they didn't create it.

This is a pretty bad analogy

If anything Sony's pursuing western gamers sensibilities cost them Japan. The types of games that they make aren't what Japan wants and they don't even have major Japanese development studios these days.
That's also what boosted them to their current position in gaming.

Nothing Microsoft has created has stood the test of time

They went on an 80 billion dollar spending spree cause their franchises are Garbo status

And now even the IP they bought are getting a stench on them

In America.

The Switch 2 is about to match the lifetime PS5 unit sales in Japan in another 6/7 months from now.

The number that was posted included IP/studios “purchased” by sony.

You guys have to suspend reality to keep up your cult bubble. It’s really fascinating to watch

You are correct about Japan, but Nintendo isn't avoiding anyone. They are just doing their own thing.

PlayStation abandoned Japan for the west, Western style console games now take to long to come out, have the weird "woke" culture difference, cost way more to develop and are overall stale. On top of players having access to more games and being way more critical and picky over games that don't check certain boxes.

Ironically enough one of the more critically acclaimed games in the last couple years is from a Japanese studio they basically all but shut down. In the meantime Nintendo (and mobile)'has basically completely taken over Japan.
