For reference, Sony was recently boasting that PS5 sold over 80 million copies. This is terrible for Xbox.

    The next console wars will be the Switch 2 vs the horrible sinking feeling in your gut.

    People seemingly forget that the Switch moved as many consoles as the PS4 and Xbox One combined. I don’t even mean people in online forums, because sure. I mean people in the games industry.

      Nintendo sells lots of games on Switch. The games industry in general don’t.

        And whose fault is that?

        For the record, people also suck at selling new live service games despite (and possibly because) Fortnite, Call of Duty, CS and Roblox have all the players and won’t let them go. Don’t see anybody stop trying, for better and worse.

        I’m sure Nintendo is very happy to let everybody ignore that they’ve locked in 150 million players and routinely tap into many millions of them for their first party releases, I’m just here to remind people when they forget and overstate the position of Sony, MS or even Valve.
