Right. So stick with Switch 1, that's your message?

Although we know in hindsight it was a bad look, at the time he had a point. They were making an always online streaming your television with a mandatory camera console. He was simply stating if you cannot afford it then you can always just play the previous generation console.
it's ok that he said that because nintendo is also doing it now
I could afford the xbox though. I just had shit internet back then so an always online machine didnt interest me.
When Nintendo says it they mean
we are continuing support for the Switch so it's a safe bet to pursue that console instead, this new console is a luxury model for wealthy enthusiasts who are beget to high performance hardware and graphically demanding software
at the time he had a point.
no he didn't. he had a cope
it's ok if they don't get an xbone, they'll buy a 360
is beyond braindead logic
yes. a hacked switch is dirt cheap now. its like the new hacked wii. pick it up at a flea market for the kids.
high performance hardware and graphically demanding software
cyberpunk runs at 40fps with dips at upscaled 1080p
tendies being delusional is always funny to read
He literally said "you can buy our other system" the only one braindead is (you)
I'm 35 and have no kids or wife
No he didn't have a point because his direct competitor had an offering that didn't require mandatory internet. Expecting people to just stay on his obsolete previous gen offering instead of jumping ship to the competition was beyond retarded. Nintendo can afford to say something like that because they have a rabid fanbase that would sooner kill themselves than move away from the Nintendo ecosystem.
lmao
Funny how you all just accepted digital anyway, Mattrick was right in the end they just tried it a couple of years too soon.
if you can't afford the new product then the old one is still available and being supported with new games
Even at the time it was terrible. We already saw that they were pushing measures that were bad for the customer on the 360 and now they were just trying to double down on that on a console that had nogaems.
Playstation only retracted the bullshit because they went second.
Nintendo doing this at this point is accepted because the pot has been boiling long enough for the frog to be cooked, console standards are just abysmal right now.
Bowser was just giving a standard PR answer, what made Mattrick's statement so damning is how smarmy his "it's called the 360" statement and how he clearly regretted it 1 second later.
It wasnt just a couple. It was like a decade too early. There was little shit games journalists and media people in California being like "just get better internet". They live in a bubble there and dont know what the rest of the country is like. I have gigabit now but back when the xbox1 was revealed I only had 0.5 up and 3mb down.
Right. So stick with Switch 1, that's your message?
pick one up for the pet dog
Kek!!!
Not even. It was a orchrstrated move by sony and all the paid media. Sony learned from the ps3 to never ever let the internet take control of the narrative again.
Now we have all the digital shit anyway(duh) but no way to sell our digital licenses. Thanks snoyggers.
I have no pets either
God you fuckers are stupid
should have seen it coming
History really does repeat. Now Nintendo is what Microsoft was to the consumer in 2015 all over again.
obsolete previous gen
Xbox 360 continued to get games for many years, if you were looking to buy into the console then there was a ton of games already released for it.
why not
You're retarded
Newsflash, everything went exactly the way they laid out at the console launch. Even with the backlash and everything, we are now here Even Nintendo admits we're here.
You people are actually. You always prove it day in and day out. A bunch of robot people who speak in memes, grandstanding for idealisms that are never reality.
not necessarily. If you have one, that is cool, but Nintendo has now entered the magical realm of competing with Steam and Epic games.
They have a shittier store front than both, worst business practices then Epic, and a catalog that is shittier and more expensive than Steam. Add in Proprietary hardware and software, it is just a disaster.
Yes.
Nintendo beats Steam in every part of the world it has a presence in
The only markets where Steam wins are South America and China
The high prices are because of the weak yen. Nothing that can be done unless japan gets it's shit together.
emulation brought nintendo games to 4K monitors and tvs trough pc
nintendo makes a deal with nvidia for hardware that can do 1080p 120fps or upscale to 4K 60 when docked
its cheaper than entry level gpus
tendies having a breakdown
they were NOT in direct competition. with the switch 2, they will be.
its cheaper than entry level gpus
why are people lying? it's not 2021. I have an RTX 3060 I bought on launch for MSRP and I am pretty sure it can work better than the SoC on the switch two. Damn, my nephew bought a 6700XT for $300 earlier this year and that is the equivalent of the PS5 Pro's performance.
I hate you people
RTX 3060
You got lucky to buy it at $330 but it was selling above msrp all 2021.
and until mining was over and ETH went pos.
Entry level cards in 2025. are 5070 and 9070 and b580.
You cannot buy any of these at $450.
Maybe the b580 but its not worth more than $250 and intel isn't really making any.
5060ti 8GB will be $400 and 5060ti 16GB will be $450 and those are also faje msrps and street price for both will be above $450.
Maybe the 9060xt will cost $350 but thats also fake msrp and as it will outperform 3080 and 6800 it will certainly sell at $400+.
Entry level cards in 2025. are 5070 and 9070 and b580.
Oh no, nigga you need to do some research of ask Anon Babble. in the pc building world that shit you listed is mid-range. I agree that mid to high end gaming on PC is expensive but that is NOT what you wrote or what you feel Nintendo is trying to do.
Unlike console, you can still buy components from other generations and STILL get good performance. Right now, I have: and yes there is a theme to my build...
Ryzen 5 3600
RTX 3060 12gb
16GB DDR4 3600
500GB M.2 2280
This not only a build that will perform better than the switch two, you can still buy every part new today. I just checked Newegg.
RTX 3060 12GB - $294
Ryzen 5 3600 - $89
DDR4 3200 (this is the best memory, I just like my 3-6-0 build): $40
500GB M.2 2280: $42
$465 total... it is also a fully functional computer.
you need to do some research
lol
ask Anon Babble
lmao
Retards buying 4060 or that were buying 3050 or 1650 or whatever shit are the victims.
Thats a good build for the money but its components from 2019. and 2021.
Its second quarter of 2025.
What interview was this?
I can't think of any worthwhile post bone 360 releases off the the top of my head.
decent mainboards, cases, psu cost $100 each these days.
You probably need an extra fan, mouse, keyboard, cables, thermal paste, IO shield too
But let's just be generous (I excluded a monitor/tv) and we say you can get all this stuff for maybe $200
so $650-$700 for a pc with questionable upgradeability.
Next time you (only) have to replace mobo/cpu/ram/gpu
buy new thing
that is what makes you a consumer meme. all the parts are i mentioned are new and under warranty, you can get them repaired and have more functionality than the switch with equal or better performance but you are still ying.
your recommended build is a mid-range pc, not an entry level.
Microsoft employee tells Xbox fans to deal with the Xbox One always being online
Xbox One reveal had almost no games and was focused on home media shit no one cares about
The Xbox One required people to be online all the time at first
Were going to tie physical games to Xbox Live accounts and limit game trading/reselling, allowing publishers to decide if their game could be resold
Initially required thr Kinect to be connected to the Xbox One at all times
Tells people who can't be online all the time to stick to 360
SwITch 2 iS aNoTHer xBoX ONe gUyS
You are a fucking idiot
whatwaboutism
again, no one is defending that shit either. I cannot for the life of me understand why you are using examples of shit behavior that is not being defended as the reason for defending shit behavior
Because it's not even remotely the same situation. It's clear that the people here claiming Switch 2 is the next Xbox One are just 12 year olds who were babies when the Xbox One and have no idea why it failed
Sorry I should have specified I meant which interview with Doug Bowser.
it now is the same situation. to Nintendo's credit, they fuck destroyed the Sony and Microsoft in the Home console wars. that game is beyond over. and now Nintendo has enter the game of a Software as a platform and now their competition is Epic Games and Steam. good on Nintendo for winning but with how their new device, game distribution and service is modeled, they have now entered the arena of EG and Steam
I don't think there was a SINGLE person who hated the direct. The Switch 2 looks good, but when the price of the game was release EVERYONE mentioned Steam and EG.
It's clear that the people here claiming Switch 2 is the next Xbox One are just 12 year olds who were babies when the Xbox One and have no idea why it failed
the last home console I owned was a Dreamcast. I have been a PC gamer for over 20 years and loved GBA, DS and 3DS.
