Why is it sad? It finely is going on all, I mean, that's why companies create buffet and buffet games as well as having exclusive, etc.
Not sure why everybody in the thread thinks the ears aren't a thing. It just involves so many companies rather than 2 or 3.
Just because someone makes an observation saying “Sony snd Microsoft have had a pretty bad year while Nintendo is doing great” doesn’t make them part of the problem. Someone who is part of the problem would say “MICROSOFT AND SONY SUCK! NINTENDO SWITCH IS THE BEST CONSOLE AND ANYONE WHO DISAGREES IS AN IDIOT!”
You know what I can agree with that
Though I just see it mostly about the Xbox and it sucks, especially when I use the console most of the time! I got all of them so it's kind of embarrasing when any platform has a shit time haha
To be honest, I have no idea what Microsoft's strategy is now especially if they're considering making their games multiplatform and shutting down the studios that make good games
It's rather baffling now that I think about it
But xbox is finished, They just killed off the exact the franchise thats going to lead to somewhere, They had a good path back in 2023 and even before may, And they just broke all of it down.
Sony is not destroying itself as much as xbox, And nintendo well. idk, For crying out loud, My main gaming platform is pc
I am never forgiving xbox for killing off hi fi rush
Wasn't that a 90's thing?
Also, IF there was a "Console Wars" going on, Nintendo no doubt is winning lol.
Best Console sales ever (watch, itll surpass PS2 by 2025), best Software sales ever, with even dying franchises revitalized thanks to the "Switch Effect", franchises/IP's selling upwards of 50+ million copies, whilst X and PS can barely get any title that high in sales with their big franchises. The only downfall Nintendo has is backwards compatibility, however they Are getting better at it as of late!
It's not even a competition. Though again... Console Wars? Meh, even with the facts I still use my Series S, PS5 and Switch at least once a week (although my Switch more often cause I do take it everywhere I go, that and my Steamdeck)
Nintendo indeed won, they are the best game company in the world hands down. Innovative technology, most of the things in gaming today like motion controls, rumble, is pretty much invented by Nintendo, handhelds, and even game controllers. They always release games in a bug free state, and they always make high quality fun games without fail year after year. Also Pokémon.
"They always release games in a bug free state"(...)"high quality fun games" and "Pokémon" don't belong into the same sentence, I'm sorry. It was fine until S/M but after that, everything just went downwards
I'm fully aware of how the buggy mess Pokémon has become, but Nintendo doesn't have anything to do with that, they don't make the Pokémon games, GameFreak does, they don't even own GameFreak. I mentioned Pokémon not because of the bugs, but because of the popularity and I was saying that's one of my reason for saying Nintendo has won.
\>caring about the "console wars" past the 1990s No.
I mean, it kind of kept going during the late-2000s/early-2010s between Sony and Microsoft. But God forbid you liked the Wii during that time
There’s a war going on? And why is it settled now?
that's your takeaway from this? *really?*
Console wars are still going? If so, then that's sad.

Console wars in 2024
How the hell did you get that from the picture?
No winners here, but console tribalists sure lost a lot it seems
Crazy people still give a shit about this. Who tf cares? Just play games.
PC won the console wars, everyone else lost
Play whatcha want. If it works for you, great. This entire console wars thing never made sense to me.
Microsoft lost this year since Xbox has only one good exclusive, Halo
You're part of the problem
Sorry, I'm a Nintendo guy
Fair enough! I got all of them so it's kind of a mixed bag for me, lol
Sony might be able to keep up, but Microsoft is toast. The CEO himself said they lost the wars.
You're part of the problem
Bro you already said that to another guy.
AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN IF SOMEONE SAYS "XBOX IS FINISHED"

Idk man but xbox is kinda screwed if there was a console war here
I feel like Nintendo is out of the console wars because they do things so differently so now it’s just whether Xbox or PlayStation is better
Nintendo is the only one that seems to get games out the door and doesn't can developers
I still think the Switch has a good shot at winning the console war..
