Gamer seems to be a weird term because most don’t consider someone playing Candy Crush a gamer. Kids playing Nintendo games are a bit of a different breed too if we go by that measure. There’s also loads of older folk that grew with some sort of Nintendo system or started to appreciate what they’re doing later on of course. Among my group of older millennials in a country with very little Nintendo presence it seems like Switch is something you buy for your children primarily.

Will start posting Wine news because some people think Proton was wished into existence by Valve

That’s kind of unfair assessment for Microsoft. There’s been more well rated games than HiFi Rush (even if closing Tango is a travesty). We should be applauding that they no longer lock their games to a single platform (despite fanboys crying over it). GP pricing increased but it’s still great value for the money and the best deal around. Their main franchises get new entries consistently and there’s been new IP too in the meantime (Indiana Jones is a joy). I think they ran out of publishers that wanted to participate in backwards compatibility program but I’d be surprised if ActiBlizz catalogue won’t join it sooner or later. Honestly, what are the titles that Sony released in the past 5 years that aren’t sequels or remakes? I’m super confused how Sony is getting away with this. As to Valve. Why is Microsoft stopping physical sales bad but it’s ok when Valve does it? Valve killed physical sales for the entire platform.Once they got a monopoly sales with deep discounts ended. Can you really trust Valve with backwards compatibility and long term support over Microsoft? One has a history of abandoning stuff when they no longer find it profitable, the other is probably best in class still. When I moved from PS4 to XSX it was because I could sell my physical copies, something not possible on PC. End goal for Valve seems to be Android for games where they exert power over some Linux based platform with their app store - that’s no good for any of us. And that’s without addressing elephant in the room that Valve is no different if not worse than EA when it comes to gambling. I don’t have favourites and use what I think is best for me at a given time. I’m deeply confused with what other gamers are choosing for themselves.

Nintendo gets plenty criticism and rightly so and what we traditionally consider to be gamers opt to use other systems. The thing about Nintendo is that their main customer base aren’t gamers but kids. For now I wouldn’t look too much into sales figures of Switch 2, it’s mostly a measure of huge stock available at launch.

MS reputation when it comes to gaming ain’t that bad. They scored some wins over the last two years with lots of decent titles available day 1 on GamePass while Sony is stuck doing remaster after remaster. Nintendo isn’t doing all that hot either reputation-wise. So maybe not great but the bar is set low. Honestly it’s freaking weird how bad XSX is doing compared to PS5 - both are about the same performance-wise unlike previous generation, games are cheaper thanks to GP and there’s such an overabundance of games that lack of exclusives doesn’t hurt that much. I guess that’s just inertia from previous gen but even then Xbox is a budget conscious pick so you’d imagine they’d sell better.

This is a Hori product, official Nintendo camera is much better (but also kinda overpriced).

If you don’t want to see their faces you have to stay in the lead.
