I'm not simping for anyone, whatever the hell this means. I'm just repeating what he said on record, a man that factually knows more about the videogame industry and making a living inside it than any of us do.
What arguments? All you do every week in these threads is bitch about Playstation and then cry when you get called out on it.
And yet your only contribution to this thread has been to derail it and call people pathetic. Actually, you barely contribute anything in any famitsu thread and when you do, its to call people nasty names like saying I'm pathetic for what? For just paraphrasing an actual quote said by someone who 100% knows more about the videogame industry than any of us? In another words, an indisputable fact?
He also said they didn't compete with Sony and was concerned more about Google and Amazon.
Chris is person who has been working on Japan sales threads for about 20 years now. He was the one making media create threads in neogaf when I started lurking.
So are we know saying that the only competitor Sony has is itself?
I suppose is the same at the IB forums, right ?
Yes he's posting the numbers there now.
Phil literally talk's out his ass all year round. He'll say anything for a few sound bites. MS are directly competing with Sony that's about it.
Yes I don't think he's biased, but his posting style is very blunt and I could see how that could be off-putting for people.
It seems that Phil Spencer, head of Xbox and that works in the industry for decades, constantly lies. But if he does, so does Famitsu, NPD, Media Create, European analysts and every single professional videogame analyst. All of them are lying.
He has always being a bit biased towards Nintendo, which is fine.
Between a good balance and compromise between specification, games, and atractiveness of the console(Being hybrid and all).
Specs?
Phil is literally trying his best to make Xbox look as small as possible so the FTC case goes in their favour. Pretending Nintendo (LOL) are direct competitors to Xbox is laughable.
They never describe the Switch as a tradicional home console because they don't use that term either for any of the other consoles lol. They are all described just as consoles. We literally have a thread every single month about it. Hell we ARE in a famitsu thread, and yet you don't even bother to look if they ever make any differentiation between the consoles.Which they don't. NPD even put them all the same rank devided by sales and revenue LMAO. That "tradicional home console" is a term you yourself made up to create a "different market" where only Sony exists and so only Sony will ever be number one. Its not even copium, its pure madness.
Im amazed that you just type all these nonsense while disregard what other people says lol
The Switch doesn't only sell in Japan. It's sold 125million WW and is the the third best selling system ever after the PS2 and NDS. Visuals and Performance do matter, but they are not the most important thing as you can see from Switch WW sales.
Different people will obviously care about different things. But power is obviously further down the list than other factors for most people given how the PS2, DS and Switch sold.
What other stuff people said?
tbh, our argument here has nothing to do with whether Nintendo is a direct competitor to Sony and Microsoft or not. And im not sure why you keep using Japan as measurement on all types of arguments or narrative.
I use Japan because we are in the famitsu thread, which is sales data about Japan? If we were in the NPD thread, we would talk about Nintendo in the US and just the US.
If you've a problem with sub categories then mobile is king.
360 was a beast but we're talking back in 2007. I play a game like lost planet from 360 days by streaming to my ps5 and it looks dogshit these day's.
I'll just keep repeating the equivalent of a sales figure in this conversation, as facts can't be disputed:
You know you've lost the discussion when you start copying a pasting a reply where you've move the goalposts. It's quite simple. Switch isn't a traditional home console.
Au contraire. The moment I have to start repeating myself is when the other one clearly has run out of arguments and you have to keep repeating in the hopes that the other person eventually understands that no, you're not more important and doesn't have more authority than people who have spent their careers doing this like NPD, Famitsu and Phil Spencer.
I've not got arguments. It's one single point. Traditional home consoles and there's no argument here if you understand the definition of traditional.
Doesn't matter. For a youngster who doesn't play on PC or PS5 when they play Zelda BOTW for the first time it will look like the most beautiful game they ever played. The same way Zelda NES / SNES looked like the most beautiful games when they released.
Oh definitely. It's probably why Nintendo are not too worried about graphical power because a huge target audience for them are kids playing games for the first time.
Yeah, everybody noticed that.
Exactly just facts.
Glad we finally agree that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft all compete directly with one another!
That's the most obsurd thing I've ever read. They are literally the definition of indirect competition hence why Sony and Nintendo are doing their best ever. When they were direct competitors they didn't do as well. But as we know they both got stomped into their respective lanes by one another.
And yet, every single professional person and company involved with the industry(Phil Spencer, NPD, Famitsu, Media Create, European analysts, etc) universally agree that Nintendo competes directly with Sony and Microsoft.
Kerotan
, who is a random poster in an internet forum, or people who worked their entire lifes in the videogame industry?
Its that for some people, its not about having a logical and quite obvious discussion. Its about having my favorite plastic box always being the number 1, and when that isn't the case, I'll scream and yell and pretend the others don't exist.
Quote from Sony:And yet, every single professional person and company involved with the industry(Phil Spencer, NPD, Famitsu, Media Create, European analysts, etc) universally agree that Nintendo competes directly with Sony and Microsoft.
Who is right:
But everyone, including Phil Spencer, NPD, Famitsu, Media Create, analysts from all over the world agree universally that the Switch competes directly with Sony and MS.
How can you directly compete with someone when your software offerings are so different? Are you struggling to grasp basic economic definitions?
Who was the direct competor to Sony during the PS2 days?
Because that's the point of exclusives? That's how you, in a competitive market, compete with you competitors? You know, exclusive games, exclusive features, etc? To make it stand up and be more atractive compared to other competitors, when they all compete in the same market(which is videogames in this case)?
