Re: Former Xbox Exec Throws Shade At Switch 2, Says It's A 'Hard Pass'

Unfortunately , yes, i am buying the nintendo sh** 2, because of FOMO & because of smash bros and mario kart. i 100% agree with this guy though, but Nintendo is the golden child of the industry so any legit criticisms of their overpriced outdated hardware and overpriced outdated games or paywalled outdated online always gets glossed over

@Medic_alert "Everyone has limited time and money and unless you can afford to buy every game on every platform then they very much compete with each other for both your time and money."

  • Generally, yes, we have limited time and money, but it isn't about buying every game on every platform. It's about having options to play whatever game on whatever platform you like, when you like. And when we bring exclusives into the conversation, you NEED their hardware if you want to play their games. I don't understand why its (still) taboo for a gamer to have gamer things anyway, sure the companies are competing for your time and money, but why do we care? Were allowed to have them all and use them at our own leisure, options is a beautiful thing. We use options for everything else we own, with several different competing brands in our homes.

"Anyway, I stand by my initial statement that I don't believe this to be anything to do with PC sales - unless of course you have data to show otherwise?"

  • I mean, it's absolutely fine if you disagree dude. It's just my theory and opinion. I should have put "imo" in my first comment, but whatever. My only data (since i dont feel like researching) is anecdotal from what I see. Just an opinionated theory.

@Medic_alert keyword "rarely" - doesn't mean its never happened a couple times before. Also, what makes you think im talking about power when i mentioned PC? Theres plenty of people that own a gaming PC whos CPUs or GPUs are aged & dated hardware. Steam asks its users for surveys i believe annually, and every single one of them always shows that more than half of PC users have "underpowered" PCs.

i threw the competitor argument because you mentioned relative sales, so by virtue of you comparing sales - theres competition involved. I don't understand why it surprises you that i had a competitive response to a competitive statement, but ok.

"When you are talking about selling over 100m machines all media is in competition for your time"

  • Disagree. This is just generalizing.

"How you want to classify those things is of no interest to me."

  • It interested you enough to have a reaction to my initial comment and somehow managed to shove nintendo into the conversation.

"And handhelds don't always outsell the home hardware."

  • You mean like how underpowered consoles and handhelds haven't always outsold better hardware? Yeah, I know not to generalize.

"The Vita being the easy response but the 3ds didn't outsell the Xbox 360, PS3 or PS4."

  • I don't get whats the point of this. Handhelds compete with other handhelds, Nintendo Switch has no competitor. Actually it does, my bad, steam deck.

@Medic_alert People buy consoles for several different reasons, so that statement really isn't true. The series X made no inroads because of the massive failure of the xbox one, which by the way, was a weak console & part of the reason the xbox one sold so bad was because of it's lower resolution compared to the PS4, but obviously that doesn't paint the whole picture so why keep generalizing? The switch is a handheld console, so why keep comparing it to traditional home consoles when its clearly not a competitor? one minute its "nintendo is doing its own thing" to "nintendo is winning vs ms or sony", so which is it? Its no surprise that a handheld (console) is outselling consoles, that's nothing new, nintendo's handhelds have always sold big. The PS2 was on the market an entire year earlier with more third party support and a DVD player - again, why generalize instead of tell the whole truth/story?

My idea isn't any different from yours, you say that the switch 2 is taking away from hardware sales, and im saying PC is. I swear the nintendo bias amongst the gaming space is unmatched. the switch has worsened the bias for nintendo x10 over.
