Re: Industry Analyst Argues Either Sony or Microsoft Will Need to Exit the Console Market

NintenGuy

@Nem Nintendo handhelds are successful for sure, but there has historically been a big drop off between each them. The biggest being the loss of over 50% of users between DS & 3DS. While 76 mill is a great number. That's a huge drop off in customers.

Game Boy/GBC: 118 million
Game Boy Advance: 82 million
DS: 154 million
3DS: 76 million

It'll be interesting to see if the new Switch will break this trend.

Re: Nov 2024 USA Sales: PS2's Sales Toppled by Switch As College Football 25 Becomes the Best-Selling Sports Game Ever

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare I dunno about that. Most people I know that have kids have Playstations or Xbox S for their kids. The average person just isn't dealing with a PC. Why do you think there have been multiple Fortnite bundles on PS. Those aren't for adults. Lol! Also remember that beef Epic had with Sony because Sony has crazy fortnite numbers and revenue and epic backended a storefront to get that cash. Plus CoD & GTA still pull crazy numbers on PS. Kids and Teens are a big part of that.

@Ralizah Whats impressive is during its run the PS2 (160 mil) outsold the both consoles Nintendo had on the market GBA (81 mil) & GC (21 mil) by a large margin. While the Switch has done very well at over 140 mill, but its a noticeable drop from Nintendo's best gen even while consolidating its home & portable consoles. Also considering their Portables always outsold the home consoles by a large margin. 259 million sold with the Wii (105 mill) & DS (154 mil) was crazy. Plus like others have said. Adding Switch lite sale to that total is kinda BS since it can't you know...Switch.

Re: All The Game Awards 2024 Winners

Good to see Rebirth, Astro, Helldivers, Wukong & Balatro all won awards. Unlucky Stellar Blade. It was a great game. Glad it got recognized else where though. Astro for the win!

Re: PlayStation Joins Social Media Shift as Bluesky Rockets in Popularity

NintenGuy

Bluesky seems to be where only one side of the political spectrum can say what they want to say true or make believe. X seems to be where anyone can say anything true or make believe, but lies can be checked with community notes. I don't have social media, but bluesky seems quite pathetic. Like the Miiverse of social media. An echo chamber, circle jerk where any criticism isn't allowed.

Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'

@mountain_spider yes we're in agreement. There was no confusion. When you're chronically online with your opinions. You will get backlash for the things you say. That's the VA's problem to deal with. I'm optimistic SP will make another good game. So I'll be playing it. I'm fine with the lead being a girl. Stellar Blade was fun, My Nioh 2, Elden Ring & Cyberpunk characters are based on my wife, because I got tired of making myself 😄

Plus I'm sure GoY will have a Japanese dub if you don't want to support the English VA's work with a listen.
