lmfao you can't be this fucking stupid. He's gouko-rounding me.. You commented on me and what I imagined....... then cried when I doubled down on my point... telling me to "argue with NPD because Nintendo is successful" I don't need to argue with the industry you fucking clown... Nintendo no longer directly serves the market I imagine them being successful in.. with the product I imagine them making.... because they weren't successful... due to the DIRECT competition which WAS Nintendo is ONLY successful when they tap something where there is n

I don't need to. By your own admission Nintendo serves multiple markets... which Sony and Xbox don't. I imagine Nintendo still serving the same market directly, the same as MS and Sony.. with powerful consoles. I imagine that... because they don't. You think NPD is going to argue with me that Nintendo doesn't serve multiple markets which the others don't? NPD tracks PC sales... and yet that's not the same market as consoles is it?... Imagine.... Nintendo competing directly... with PS and Xbox. No portable. No waggle gimmicks. Just a powerful dedicated conso

I already explained how it correlates to what you're saying.. and your point. So I guess the only thing left to do IS argue with myself.. since you seem to agree with me

But not one where Nintendo competes in a dedicated powerful console hardware market... which is what I imagine them doing.. Please though... keep reiterating how successful Nintendo can be when they're not directly competing with................anyone and serving multiple markets

I'm making the point dumbass. It directly correlates to why the Switch exists in the first place, and why it's successful... which is what you keep lording over everyone else.... especially people comparing it and the Deck.

They weren't trying to... because the other companies were successful in their core console business.... Nintendo wasn't

I have no issue with it my dude. It's just simple facts. Nintendo could not compete in the console market alone, so they made a hybrid. You know it, and I know it. And.. you quoted me about what I said.... which was that I imagine a Nintendo that didn't have to do that.. and one who actually competed with Playstation and Xbox in the dedicated console market.. with powerful consoles. We're not living in that reality.

No, in the real world, Nintendo is serving a different market which the other two aren't. That's where there success is coming from. I know, and you know... that Switch is a hybrid... because it couldn't compete directly. So uh.. thanks for agreeing with me. Because if Nintendo COULD have competed directly... there would still be a Handheld line and separate console line.

I wasn't trying to disagree with the statement... the point is to clarify why it is. You called other portables "half assed attempts" ... but no other portable attempted to.. because that company was successful in it's core business unlike Nintendo.... So congrats... Switch succeeded at something no other portable attempted to do and only "achieved" it... because they folded on the aspect that Nintendo sucked at... which was competing directly in the console space alone.

That's not what I mean by competitive. They're catering to a different market. I imagine one where Nintendo could compete directly. They couldn't. Thus the Switch. They're massively successful because there is no competition lol

Get out of here with this shit man lmfao... Consoles and portables were separate in the past for valid reasons... Technology simply wasn't where it needed to be to ensure the types of experiences that you could push on console. PSP was INCREDIBLY well supported and had a lot of console quality titles on it despite that fact. Vita was less supported for various reasons.. and Sony hasn't bothered since then. Also the "indiefication" of gaming and the prevalence and success of it, allowed Nintendo to build out a library which easily blurred the lines. The Switch only exists because

I imagine a Nintendo that actually stayed competitive with Playstation and built powerful consoles too.

I always liked Ed Fries. That core Xbox team was awesome. Imagine what that original team could do now with MS fully backing their gaming initiatives? They're all long gone though.

It's an incredibly important and necessary job though... which is probably why they want to unionize.... so they finally get paid what they are worth in contribution to creating a shippable product.
