Nintendo = Completely different console with new innovations every time

Nintendo has the biggest balls in the industry.

Honestly, I like my switch the most.

I played my Xbox the most cause I played more third party games, but then I got a better PC and sold it.

My PS4 is basically just a Spider-Man/God of War machine at this point.

It's true.

To be fair though, Nintendo has some of biggest balls yes, but also some of the stupidest executions of those balls.

Square took Final Fantasy and said "hey, we've got this winning formula that has worked for 10 games now, how about we fuck it up and never look back?"

Nintendo seems to be the only company to pull of the ballsiest innovations and not get completely buried for it every time (see Sega in the mid/late '90s, the 3DO, the Kinect, Ouya, etc gimmicks)

Excuse me? Sony and Microsoft don't have balls, you say?

Are we forgetting "599 US Dollars"?

Are we forgetting "We have a system for those users, it's called Xbox 360"?

Hell, are we forgetting that the original Xbox One had integrated Kinect and was primarily marketed as a netflix box you could control by waving over being a video game console?

it was also the first time Sony didn't win their generation (in terms of sales)

Honestly even when they fail I respect the Hell out of Nintendo for trying.

For example Nintendo Labo is a fucking bizarre idea, but I see what they were going for and in theory it couldve been cool.

Don't forget that Microsoft had the Kinect!

Sony's PSVR is actually good so I won't make fun of them for that. Turns out when they don't just copy Nintendo in a worse way it can actually end up being good.

Nintendo Switch = watered down ports of multi year old games tbh


The first party games are amazing though, and some of the ports have been fantastic for a portable device. DOOM for example is a fucking miracle.

Isn't Labo technically a success because of how they shipped it or something?

Well yeah, Xbox and PlayStation are basically just shitty PCs. Except that Sony pays to have games exclusive to their shitty PC.

I feel like it only makes sense to have a PC and a Switch.

PC = For when you want the best graphics, power and performance
Switch = When you dont really care about graphics, power or performance but want great gameplay and unique takes on the gaming experience itself

PlayStation and switch has the best choice as PC gaming is a dying platform

Well because of Microsoft, PC gaming might make a comeback, but Xbox consoles might become pretty niche. I doubt their next console would try to innovate much

I was more referring to stuff like their online games being absolutely fucked still in 2019 lol.

And I love Nintendo too, but some of their design choices just make me wonder how the fuck they're as big and successful as they are.

I think having an ecosystem that carries across consoles, PC or streaming is innovative in a sense. They're going all in with Game Pass too.

I think my issue is I don't play portable. My Switch stays docked. I'm also not the biggest fan of Nintendo games; mainly got it for my girlfriend. She loves Mario. Zelda was fun though.


Then why are you commenting on a product that you're not the target demographic for.

The frustrating thing about Nintendo's online is that it's not like they don't have the resources to do it. They just don't and make things as difficult as possible for no logical reason.

This tbqh.

Like, I always used to sigh and tell myself "No, don't complain, it's free after all."

But now that we're paying for the online subscription, all the restrictions on stuff life Smash online are getting really fucking old. It's crazy to think that Mario Tennis, of all things, probably has the most fleshed out online play.

More like Nintendo has no room to squeeze into the normal console market so they create their own niche.

What wrong with that? Better than making the same console for a third time

Nintendo also recycles I.Ps that began in the 80s. Can't innovate for shit. I want to see how well Nintendo would do without Mario and Zelda.
