It's only like that now because businesskikes took over after Iwata died

valve

sony when they GENUINELY thought a 600$ console was a good idea in 2006
Otherwise you can't beat nintendo. They're the only company that can sell you tech 10 years out of date, for the same price as modern tech, and charge you full price for games that are more like an indie game in length and gameplay value than a AAA title. What other company could have a price increase on a console, at the end of its lifespan, when its essentially an android tablet that was already outdated when it came out in 2017. My fucking school chromebook was probably more powerful than it, 4gb ram and a fucking snapdragon phone chip.

It's sad how so many people don't understand this. The price increase on the original Switch is a purely anti-consumer move to see how much they can bully them into getting a Switch 2 instead. The same goes for any price increases on consoles well into their lifespan. In no world is a console with a 2070 Super equivalent GPU worth over $500 in 2026. The Series X should be $350 at most with an extra controller and a game or two bundled with it at this point.

Every Chinese and Korean game company

Tencent without a doubt

yeah nintendo despite being a nipponese company is indistinguishable from kikes when it comes to business practices. Fucking i remember when they shut down a smash bros melee tournament that was a fundraiser for cancer or something but they fucking shut down the venue because they didn’t use official hardware or some bullshit. On 2 decade old game at the time. So fucking evil they are rivals to jews

same thing

Electronic Arts (they're more annoying about being woke and trendy than greedy, but that as well)

At least a 2070 equivalent is still modern and can run everything you want it to. Games are also unnecessarily demanding and poorly optimised, but thats another topic. Jewtendo will go out and sell you old hardware that is closer to mobile/laptop harware, and charge you the same price. Idk if its true but I saw that the Switch 2 gpu is equivalent to a laptop 2050. Thats a mid gaming laptop from 5 years ago's specs. The CPU is stronger than the base ps4, which launched in 2013, but is still not as good as a ps4 pro from 2016. As a home console this shit is over 10 years out of date, and they launch it at full price and the soyim gobble it up.
It also only has 12GB RAM which is pathetic, some phonos have that much.

The video game industry is truly dead for consoles, with previous generations you would get price drops and more shit bundled in later into the generation, and now its increasing in price. The PS3 and Xbox 360 both had plenty of bundles, and budget models launching like 6 years in. The ps5 is 6 years old, and you get a price increase instead. Xbox is basically pointless, everything is on PC anyway, theres no exclusives.

>>58554
good goy, leak as i spit in your bowl of diarrhea

>>58585
the switch 2 is a handheld nigga, the hardware is equivalent or a bit better than a ps4, which is what traditionally handhelds have been capable of, running games with basically 1 generation behind technology. What really makes me stay away from switch 2 are that shitty pannel, they somehow managed to have a lot of ghosting on a 120Hz ips screen, and the battery. I mean look at a steam deck, switch 2 is not that expensive, you are just paying a bit more to play nintendo exclusive games, which is what exclusives games are for, giving value to the console (even if xbox and sony are too retarded to remember it).

Not trying to justify the price increase, they are limiting a lot the video game market, but the pc components market is in an awful state too, look at the steam hardware survey, most people play on shitty pcs. We are close to another big video game crack, the narrative of pc gaming eating consoles is not really true, since a lot of it is because of China and third world countries that mostly play f2p shit. Its like saying mobile gaming will replace traditional pc and consoles when they are a completely different thing

>>58585
The 2070 is a midrange GPU from late 2018, and the 1080ti is even better than it and its an early 2017 GPU. The consoles were only alright on release, and dropped off soon after. This is just how consoles work because companies need to make money. Hardware that's basically 9 years old (raytracing is basically non-existent on consoles aside from a handful of games on the PS5 Pro, which hardly anybody bought) getting a price increase at all, is completely unacceptable. And the Switch is basically a phone from 2015. None of these companies are any good, they're cancer to humanity and the hobby. You can't pick and choose who is worse when they're all evil.

>>58591
>they somehow managed to have a lot of ghosting on a 120Hz ips screen
They got the cheapest bargain bin 120Hz displays China could pump out because Nintendo knows the vast majority of its fanbase is as illiterate as Applefags (and modern Nvidiafags). They see a number on a spec sheet and have no idea how that translates to real life, and on top of that, they are easily gaslit into believing whatever they're told. Besides, Nintendo is fully intending on making at least 2 revisions to the Switch 2 over its lifespan. 1 will probably be a microLED backlit (this is different from an emissive microLED) LCD that's actually good for motion and will use Nvidia's G-Sync Pulsar tech, but will intentionally have more blooming than it actually should have, and then later on it will get an OLED model made with dirt cheap 400nit panels that will have quickly degrading blue and green subpixels, which will push people into buying yet another Switch 2 or even the Switch 3 by that point. Nintendo knows they should never make the best product they can at a reasonable price, because of you do that you won't be able to double dip on a bunch of retards within the same product generation.

Compared to how kikey literally every other company in the gaming industry is, Valve are practically fucking saints. Get Tencent's cock out of your mouth for 5 seconds, you faggots.

>>58623
They admittedly used to actually make underpowered but otherwise high-quality consoles and handhelds; the Gameboy through to the various iterations of the DS were famously pretty durable. The shit like the joycons being fucking terrible mainly started happening after Iwata died.

I meant to say "red".

>>58591
The issue here is that the hardware isn't worth what they cost, even in the steam deck. The profit margins must be huge, and the fact that you can't play 2 player out the box (no, playing with one joycon each doesn't fucking count, nigga) is pathetic for nintendo, the famously family oriented console.

They did this with the GBA and DS too. Theres no way they looked at the launch GBA, with no backlight in fucking 2001, and thought that was good. The fucking atari lynx from 1989 had one. It was obviously so that they could make another model, the SP, and charge some retards twice for the same console. THOUGHbeit at least the console hardware was solid otherwise, the SP is a magnificent handheld with good buttons and a great hinge too.
Theres also no way they looked at the utilitarian brick of the original DS and thought it was good. Dim screen, weak hinges, disgusting look. They make the lite version which people actually bought, but make sure to not add internet access, so they can put that into the DSi and sell that to the goys who want their online gamerinos and a shit camera, but they can't play GBA on it, so buy a DS lite too, goy, all your shekels belong to us.

Nintendo was excusable before because at least the price was cheaper than their competitors by a good margin. The Wii cost 50$ less than the cheapest Xbox 360, had original games and a gimmick, and people generally weren't buying the cheapest 360 model anyway. The DS cost 150$ when the PSP cost 250$. For children, it was a lot easier to ask your parents to drop 200$ on a Wii than 600$ on a PS3. Now its so expensive that cacas won't have switch 2s, only the middle aged soyim will.

>>58648
>Now its so expensive that cacas won't have switch 2s, only the middle aged soyim will.
And that's a big reason why gaming has stagnated so hard. Most Millennials have a horrible habit of worshiping brands because they don't have a religion. Criticism is heresy, even if it would improve the game. Just look at Helldivers II as a recent example of a bitter and clueless developer getting praised and defended for making anti-player changes to the game. And the thing is, the praise doesn't last forever, the "glazers" move onto a different game to play IDF with. Just look at 343 Industries losing fanboys so hard and fast that they had to change the name of the studio and fire most of the upper management. Arrowhead will get the same treatment, if they stay on their current heading long enough.

The thing about brand worship/consumerism/materialism, is that it's temporary. A new thing comes out and the "true believers" will move on, that's their nature.

>>58552
This. It baffles me how people are willing to buy a switch 2, which is on-par with an xbox one. Absolute cattle
>dood but the exclusives
yesssss another bing bing wahoooo that is pretty much the same as the bing bing wahoo on the wii-u

>>58648
In fairness to the original brick DS, IIRC being able to survive repeated drops from chest pocket height was a design requirement, and that was the initial solution. The backlight thing was pretty fucking atrocious though, yeah.

And technically speaking the DS Lite did have internet compatibility, it just didn't support any fucking kind of encrypted connection.

>>58585

holy shit that’s so fucking pathetic

Many in Asia consider the Japanese as the jews of their part of the world

>>58653
nigga we hate on all of them equally here, theres no dick sucking we're bashing all of them

Sony is worse but either way the yellow jews continue to rape the pockets of the aryans

>>58656
The exclusives aren't even interesting anymore. Jewtendo forgot what happened 30 years ago with the N64 and Gamecube, and why the Wii and DS sold so much. A nintendo console lives and dies by its originality and its gimmick. The switch was original because it was a hybrid. What does the switch 2 have? A fucking mouse feature? Absolute nothingburger gimmick, they managed to shit out one terrible disability-affirming game with it and thats it. Nintendo can't win by playing it safe, every new console is a gamble for them, either they sweep it under the rug and live off handheld sales for a generation, or they win big. They made a terrible decision for the long term merging the handhelds and the main consoles. Instead of a switch 2, they should have made a dedicated, more powerful console that can have better performance for a similar price, as they aren't rulecucked into using low-power and thin components, which would please the soyim as they get their high fps bing bing wahoos with some sort of stupid gimmick, idk what they'd do, and then make a much cheaper handheld that dips heavily into the caca demographics to give them cheap bing wahoos. A device with 8GB ram, a base PS4 tier mobile CPU, and a handheld clamshell design would have been easy to make on the cheap. Honestly I think the DS form factor was killed too early, the bottom screen is a good way to make use of a larger bottom half with a clamshell design, and if it had regular controller buttons with 2 sticks (or circle pads in this case), all the buttons and 2 sets of shoulder buttons it could run most games that cacas care about + have exclusive bing wahoos. An easy way to guarantee that the soyim still buy it is to make a gorillion slop pokemon games, they lap it up.

Ironically enough, I haven't touched Pokemon since Sun and Moon; I'm still pissed about the loss of the national dex. That shit defeats like half the point of Pokemon.

>>58721
I've played red on the GB, and Diamond and White on the DS. The games are always initially fun, but you end up hitting a brick wall of progression and I can't be arsed to grind levels. The series hasn't changed much from its conception up until the games I played. Is sun/moon worth playing, i can pirate it at any time if i want.
I can't understand why they still make 2 games for each entry. Theres always only like 3 different pokemon. Are the soyim really that stupid that they will buy the same game twice to get every last pokemans?

>>58722
Sun and Moon are worth playing if you ask me, yeah. There are actually apparently significant story difference between them and Ultra Sun/Moon, but I never played either of the ultra games so I can't really comment on that. Either way, Sun/Moon were entries that leaned a bit more into the sci-fi aspects of Pokemon, which I personally feel is when the series tends to be strongest.
