Exactly and really there is nothing remotely close, that either have. Nintendo is on a whole different level. They are at the point where both Sony and MS aspire to be in gaming business wise.

And when you add in Pokemon the difference becomes unfair.



Nintendo owns 1/3 of Pokemon though.

Surely the new Switch 2 must have outsold the 5 year old PS5 this holiday season then?:jbhmm:

In Japan, in just 7 months, The Switch 2 already did 50% of PS5 sales!

7 months already creeping up to the 5 years that PS5 is out.

US games journalism is filled to the brim with Nintendo babies that grew up only owning a Nintendo system and a subscription to Nintendo Power

Yeah they're pretty biased when it comes to how they rate Nintendo games. I still don't understand how Breath of the Wild is considered one of the greatest games when it has the most desolate open maps of this generation. Then it ran terribly
:mjlol: at yall not realizing this same thing holds true for Sony

I don't even think they notice their bias.
:wow:

No, in the retro games podcasts glaze Nintendo. Any people that worked in the game industry that are white and late 30s and up, all wax poetic about the Nintendo consoles of their youth while ignoring or putting down games from other consoles like the Genesis.

and shifted Nintendo to a primarily portable maker.
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

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that Switch 2 sales in Japan almost 50% of all PS5 sales, at just 7 months of release?

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?
