Which console company is more retarded right now?

how is that even a question?
nintendo is a dogshit cringe company for women and children

Money hungry doesn't mean retardation

Sony and Xbox can't compete right now. All their IP are slop and costing them a fortune in losses. This is why Anon Babble is contaminated with Nintendo haters. It's inorganic and obviously a sign of great weakness.

What's the third one?

If you are still considering MS a console company then them by a wide margin no contest.

Nintendo will always be Nintendo.
Xbox is dead and wull be replaced by Valve nextgen
PS is gay, retarded, commiefornian and their """games""" are a joke.

controls the console market

controls the handheld market

doesn't even control the pc market

i mean it's not really question

What are you saying ?!

What are you saying ?!

Sony and it’s not even close. Nintendo are number one and they will never port their first party games to PC so they will always have a user base. They are also the only console with Pokemon and that’s unironically too big to fail. XBOX were smart and bowed out of the console war all together. Instead they focused on becoming the biggest video game publisher and they are raking in the rewards now. Their goal is to promote their “This is an Xbox” bs and it’s clearly working. They are also going to release their next console with Steam on it so they are embracing the PC user base as well. Playstation is unironically fucked because they no longer have a niche, they port all their first party games to PC and they don’t even make smaller AA games anymore. The PS5 won’t even beat the PS4 in sales and the PS6 is going to fare even worse considering people will just not upgrade seeing how they are STILL releasing games for PS4.

Xbox is dead.
Sony is for retarded niggers that love sucking cock
The only good one of the three is Nintendo

Nintendo because they were served the industry on a platter after xbox gave up and sony went full retard yet they still found a way to fuck it up

I'm saying that the USA game console companies are so incompetent that they get better returns on investing in shilling than investing in competitive developers.

Xbox is literally collapsing.

Playstation is unironically fucked because they no longer have a niche

Their niche is being the default place to play games. Nintendo's hybrid approach makes their consoles too weak to get third party releases that normalfags care about after 2 or 3 years and normalfags won't buy a PC.

I really wonder what reality some of you live in.

interesting

you live in a reality where nintendo is putting out a PS4 grade hybrid which makes them a portable alternative to pretty much any relevant release of the last ten years and even the foreseeable future (PS4 still gets games)

I think snoy is a absolute garbage company, but they are developing a new handheld and I love the PSP and Vita, both were ahead of their time
I'd buy a handheld of the same quality

Nintendo must be doing something right judging by the absolute seethe out of the browns and slavs of Anon Babble.

it's obviously sony

400 dollars disaster with concord (they genuinely believed it'd be their own star wars lmao), only "games" they put out are the 20th rerelease of the last of us, 800 dollars ps5 pro that's completely pointless, already talking about the ps6 while the ps5 got zero meaningful exclusives, forced to have a ridiculous marketing campaign for a nothing platform game their audience doesn't care for in order to save face, their japan studio IPs end up being released on switch etc etc etc

they're an absolute disaster all around and all the switch 2 shitposting here is an obvious attempt from brown third worlders snoys to divert attention from their favorite company being the laughing stock of the industry

The PS6/NextBox come out in 2 years and most multiplats the normalfags care about aren't on PS4 recently. (CoD, AssCreed, Madden, GTA6, etc).

Metaphor releasing on PS4 when P4 came out on PS2 and P5 came out on PS3 isn't indicative of much. Nintendo's console will be too weak. Again. No, the DLSS won't save save it because games will need FSR or whatever they're using for PSSR to even run at 30 FPS on next gen consoles. Games will be made to take advantage of the multiframe generation on PC as well where they generate 3 frames at a time instead of 1 and the Switch 2 is stuck only generating 1 extra frame.

In 2 years then the multiframe gen is doing 5 to 10 frames, then lmao.

sony is woke
xbox is blacked
nintendo is washed up

Separate disc drive for PS5 and you need online for registering it because...?

Playstation Portal that needs wi-fi connection because...??????

"Our console is at the end of it's life cycle"

Concord

Wolverine MIA

Minecraft movie did well but seriously games?

Good studios keeps getting raped

Halo dead

Gears of War ???

All is on gamepass

Hi-Fi Rush studio gets shut down because...!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!??@?@?!?@?!?@?@?

I would rate stupidity like
XBOX >>>>>>>>> Sony >>>> Nintendo >> Common sense
At least Nintendo has some smart plans despite being greedy and bit stupid. And has fucking games.
Sony is being retarded as always and no games.
XBOX is just fucking retarded and I have no idea what they are doing. MC movie did great yeah but come on. Games please.

Perfect breakdown

This reads like someone deluding themselves that even though Sony won the console war they still somehow "lost".

And I get it. I hate Sony too. I hope their whole new fancy California building catches fire like the rest of the state. But this all reads like massive cope. You don't need a "niche" when you are the winner.

iiiii really doubt they're developing a new handheld, honestly, sony refuses to downscale any internal development (this is part of what killed the vita - it couldn't render movie-games, so sony lost interest in devving for it!)

chinese tariffs probably killed any hope xbox might have had of going back into hardware, if the "this is an xbox" ad campaign wasn't already incredibly indicative they were pulling out of dedicated hardware by claiming everything under the sun is an xbox by running a microsoft app
i don't know what meaningful advancement a PS6 could make after "the power of the SSD" turned out to be a total flop and frame-generation is a take it or leave it feature for the vast majority of gaymers, this is after all a company that has hard data proving most playstation users prefer performance mode or framerate stability to graphical quality and they still decided "no, the players want graffix" for the PS5 pro
portability is an enormous draw, too, we can't ignore switch 1 coming close to smashing PS2's record as the most sold console on the planet - there is so much "that doesn't count" surrounding the switch 1 that it is hilarious

Good analysis anon and i agree of nintendo being a money hungry company more than being a retarded one since there winning unlike sony or xbox

bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-25/sony-working-on-new-handheld-console-for-ps5-games-to-rival-nintendo-s-switch
There is a chance they don't release it, but this added to the recent change in lewdership to being Japanese-only again makes me think that maybe they are aiming to get back some of the jap market.
I'm honestly not hold my breath though, because every single game they develop this day is melodramaric propaganda for normaltard cattle, with thebexception maybe of Tsushima (for now)

with the jap market being nintendominated again by that $330 switch 2 pricing sony's just toast lol

Sorry for typing like a retard btw, I'm phoneposter scum

i don't know what meaningful advancement a PS6 could make

The graphical leap that the next gen consoles are capable of is actually really big if they can get somewhere near a 5070(with multi frame gen enabled), which is possible when we'll be at the 6090 by then.

I see the idea of graphics having plateaued posted a lot on Anon Babble but it's because current consoles are weak and PC exclusives aren't really a thing outside of indies. Right now graphics are capable of being insanely good but because it's relegated to mods for PC games not a lot of people are aware of what the jump to next gen might actually look like:
youtube.com/watch?v=MwnUlgmIfXM

LE GRAFFIIIIXXXX

the entire industry is moving away from photorealistic autism because it's literally killing it, games take forever to be developed and the number of faggots who care about how nice a nostril hair is rendered isn't big enough to sustain this model, if you still haven't understood that after former sony execs flat out admitted nintendo were right to leave the arms race twenty years ago I don't know what to tell you

The one I don't like

I’d say “Xbox” and replace right now with “since inception”

The company that wasted $400m+ on some DEI trash that barely sold 25k and which is headquartered in California.

Xbox is the only one that is actually losing, Nintendo will recover and Sony never seems to get punished for any of their retardation.

sony's gonna get punished again by neil druckmann's latest crap, TLOU1 remake bombed and TLOU2 getting remastered within a generation isn't a good sign

It doesn't matter, the Chinese market still wants good graphics and you can look at the games they were making like Bright Memory and Wu Kong(doesn't even hit 30 FPS on a 5090 with RT on without frame gen lmao) as an example of that. If you put 2 products in front of consumers and 1 looks like that video and 1 looks like Metroid Prime 4 on the Switch 2 and those games are the same price, consumers will pick the former every time the same way men will put an attractive girl to fuck over a homely one if given the opportunity.

AI will make creating those photorealistic games easier, the Chinese will do that because they have no qualms about ethics. Then companies have to compete against those games. You can see a sneak preview of that future in the gacha industry right now, which is currently getting bent over backwards by Mihoyo's games that have graphics way better than most other gacha games. Low budget gacha games can no longer do well because the high quality games have the same price tag($0) as the low quality games. So people flock to the high quality ones instead.

Microsoft has the best business sense but no talent to back it up, Nintendo hasn't got a clue what they are doing but has the most talent which is carrying them through their retardation. Sony is simply retarded all around. Microsoft is exiting the game industry entirely in the next 5 years and Sony is exiting after the PS6 flops.

It's going to be kind of sad when valve and Nintendo are the only companies making gaming hardware, sitting on a sea of Chinese trash.

I would say Sony, they are doing nothing new and the industry is changing, they are at the top now but even in this situation they are porting games to PC. Add to that they wasted half of this decade making like 10 games as a service trash that were canceled anyway, normies don't seem to notice, but the "PS5 has no games" meme will carry over to the PS6 as well, game cycles are way too fucking long now, it's will take us until 2029-2031 to start seeing a similar output of games like in the PS4 era.

Future is Valve vs Nintendo
I'm ok with that, both are based

consumers will pick the former every time

obvious counterpoint to your retarded autism: nintendo has by far the most systems and games sold this past decade and most of their titles look like complete shit visually

also

the chinese market

lmao

nihao chang

on what fucking planet is switch 2 metroid prime "homely"

Sony is being lazy

Nintendo is actively malicious

Microsoft wants to be both but is suffering from genuine retardation

IMG_3947.jpg - 1280x1065, 440.66K

The Chinese market is the second biggest one behind America and the Chinese gacha games are infecting other markets too. Look at Akihabara now and it's full of ads for Chinese games instead of Japanese ones.

nintendo has by far the most systems and games sold this past decade and most of their titles look like complete shit visually

That can erode at any point in time. Look at Sony with the PS1 and PS2 and then the PS3 happened. Nintendo can always have another N64/Gamecube/Wii U. Even the 3DS only did half as well as the DS. They are not infallible.

In comparison to that video I linked it absolutely is.

I think the new leadership at sega is actually crazy enough to want to re-enter the hardware space. They seem to be driven almost 100% by nostalgia and restoring their former glory. It makes no economic sense but if Sony and Microsoft leave and if they continue to make lots of money with dumb shit like the sonic films I could see them making something like a steam deck and trying to become the weebshit home of choice in the handheld pc space

well the chinese gacha games also look like quite basic anime games and don't bank everything on absurd graphics, all of mihoyo's slop could run on switch 2 with no meaningful concessions so again your point doesn't stand

also mihoyo's success in the gacha realm has far more to do with the fact they made "real" games as opposed to the usual gacha before them, genshin was a genuine open world arpg which was unheard of in the field before it

Nintendo won
Microsoft kept messing up
Sony released Concord and nothing but flops lately and their upcoming games is just more capeshit and Intergalactic which look bad

Sony effectively removed any need for their console by porting their games to PC.

Xbox is the most futureproof right now, the support the most consumer friendly practices and is just happy selling games. They see the future of video games being platform agnostic and are taking steps to ensure their games are playable on all future platforms.

Sony is doing incredibly well, the PS5 is selling good but they've hit a wall in console growth. GTA6 will boost sales really well so they're gonna be fine this gen despite their missteps.

Nintendo's switch is still selling, Nintendo is moving into the switch 2 but I'm afraid it would price out most of their consumers, the switch 2 will likely sell way less than the switch and it's questionable if their nickle and diming every aspect of the switch 2 would drive away their consumers.

Nintendo

Banked on releasing a strong library of first party games that would make up for the weak hardware of their console

Xbox

Banked on becoming the biggest publisher in the world + becoming the Netflix of videogames with the help of their multi-billion parental company

Sony

Banked on releasing the next Fornite, abandoning their strong first party single player IP lineup and threw everything out of the window. Concord was the second of a dozen of planned live service games, "The Star Wars for Sony", it failed so hard it even killed the rest of the upcoming live service projects.

Fucking this, and I like Nintendo. As for Sony, real fucking funny they made the game of the year like Astro Bot, fill it with a bunch of dormant IPs they FULLY own (some they don't), and make no plans with them? Like come on, make some fucking games. I assure you, none of them will be as expensive as Concord nor will they do as badly, you have no excuse now.

Real games on mobile weren't anything new, it was the production values and graphics that made it stand out. Mobile devices are getting powerful at a rate far faster than consoles, it's why they're a concern in the upcoming years. You can compare a gacha game like Gakuen Idolmaster to Shine Post for the Switch 2 and Gakuen Idolmaster already looks better.

and make no plans with them?

the plan is to give their rights to bandai namco so they can be released on switch

I know you're joking, but since they're porting games to PC (still surprised they let Ratchet and Clank go there) I honestly wouldn't rule it out.

Real games on mobile weren't anything new

there were no open world action rpg on the scale of genshin before genshin in the gacha genre, don't try to jew me now

the ambition of a game in terms of structure and mechanics isn't the same thing as its graphical fidelity

sony and the browns that worship it on this board

Xbox is pretty much dead, they've all but confirmed it with their "every PC is an xbox" ad campaign.

Pshart5 has nogaems and what little gaems it does have are mostly interactive movies filled with tranny propaganda.

Nintendo is currently revealing how many poorfags and turdworlders there are, given all the crying and bitching over a one-time purchase of $450 apparently being too much. But given that they are the only AAA dev left that is actually making good games instead of propaganda movies, they're the least retarded at the moment.

Microsoft has the best business sense

They literally destroyed an entire brand in one E3 reveal and never recovered.

>$90 MK World(everyone is buying the bundle but still wtf)

it's $80, where do people keep getting $90 from

No one cares about your favorite corporation's finances you shill retard.

I would say the one that's selling a $700 brick with no games and trying to resell the same movie for the 5th time, but charging $110 for it.

but I'm not joking

freedom wars, patapon and minna no golf have already been released on switch, who's to say locoroco, gravity rush or soul sacrifice aren't next? sony obviously don't want to do anything with these franchises

Nintendo is objectively the least retarded of the three
PS5 doesn't have any games
When everything is an Xbox, nothing is

They see the future of video games being platform agnostic and are taking steps to ensure their games are playable on all future platforms.

Because they destroyed their brand and realized they've already lost, so are now trying to recoup by pulling a SEGA.

You make them sound downright noble when their greed, anti-consumer practices and overall bad choices forced them into this new path.

You already had a game like Honkai Impact 3rd that had an open world mode that was literally Genshin's prototype. The gameplay was that of a Bayonetta clone as well for the other mode. While not being open world RPGs, you had Fortnite and PBG on mobile before then too.

You make them sound downright noble when their greed, anti-consumer practices and overall bad choices forced them into this new path.

It happened 20 years ago, anon. Meanwhile Nintendo is pushing for $80 games and Sony has done various anti consumer practices over the course of the PS5 alone.

I honestly cannot understand Sony's business plan with the PS5
A game console needs games. Period.

Honestly Xbox bowing out and going software only is the smartest least-retarded move

And everyday I pray for another tsunami in Japan and more California wild fires.

they banked everything on live service games and everything turned out to be an unmitigated disaster

retards online love to screech about greed but this is the best example of corporate greed completely fucking over an entire ecosystem

sony won the console war

ummm errrr the switch doesn't le count because it isn't premium!
