Interesting announcement. Will we see a price cut for switch 1 to boost the final sales?

Switch 2 looking like another success for Nintendo. I may have to finally buy my first Nintendo console.

Well that's a take.
Nintendo are just adding more to the competition, Competition is a good thing.
Sony haven't viewed Nintendo as competition since the N64. Microsoft have never viewed them as competition.
I agree with your sentiment, competition is good, we just won't see it from/because of Nintendo

That’s not true. Nintendo competes w Xbox & PS. And Sony/PS does see Nintendo as a competitor whether they want to acknowledge it or & ignore them they cannot deny reality.

Well you can say Xbox going multiplat means they no longer compete which isn’t surprising Xbox console is essentially dead.

But PS does compete w Nintendo consoles & PS has no exclusive.

Brah, read the press releases. Microsoft was touting how everyone was buying a 360 and a Wii, how they weren't competing platforms.

Sony is porting games to the switch, they aren't competing.

Neither companies see Nintendo as competition because handheld and low end power aren't the same as high end power. Both companies are retarded because Nintendo is about to leach 60 million PS4 owners from Sony.

PS is cooked. The writing on the wall is clear.



Nintendo 3rd Party sampling from 2017, Switch 1. Not much difference

People celebrating if Switch 2 plays Elden Ring. Thats kinda expected.
Its only a problem for Playstation if Switch 2 can play games like Dragons Dogma 2, Elden Ring 2 and GTA6.

Nintendo could release an optional super dock to match modern games. If they dont do that, I doubt it will play something like GTA6.
As long as PS5 has GTA6, there not gonna get cooked, it might even be the other way round.

If Nintendo has the power, in a super dock form to match modern consoles to play those kind of games, then the next console wars will begin lol

I agree. When GTA6 comes out, its gonna be the big news for 6 months, Nintendo cant match that with even with Pokemon.
