| Topic | I feel like the PS4 has gotten a bit of a backlash since the Switch released |

They usually have themselves to thank for that one. Nintendo always has this bright idea of making controllers for their consoles that have technical limitations compared to their competitors. The Gamecube controller only had one shoulder button (3 if you include the triggers compared to the usual 4 of the era) and no R3 or L3 buttons as the analog sticks couldn't click in either. This made a lot of ports very challenging for 3'rd party developers, not even getting into the mini-disc format they had chosen. The Wii and Wii U had similar issues with technical limitations imposed by "unique" controllers which weren't as capable or more challenging to develop for, and the Wii U pro controller had the same issue as the Switch's controller, which is the lack of analog triggers. The Switch's saving grace is it's portability. If it wasn't a portable it probably would have been doomed to fail, but luckily Nintendo always knows how to do well in the portable market. --- "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell ...
