Nintendo’s Switch 2 got off to a roaring start but demand has started to sag, particularly in the US. Where are the big games to reverse this?

    Kids only care about Pokemon, casuals only touch Mario Party like once a month when family is over. So making a Pokemon Access Machine underspec’ed and overpriced is actually THE move from profit perspective.

      Which is why I maintain my order of least to most consumer friendly gaming big three is:

      Nintendo < Sony < Microsoft

      For all its flaws, Microsoft is the leash anti-consumer, because they don’t have exclusives anymore.

        M$ was also THE first to charge for multiplayer…even on PC once Xbox era began.

          Yeah, but they actually provided a real service in exchange for that subscription.

          Meanwhile Sony pays studios to NOT develop games for other platforms, which is HORRENDOUSLY anti-consumer, and Nintendo I dont even have to talk about.

          Microsoft isnt the consumers best friend, but out of the big three they are the least bad.
