Were long due on some guillotine action.

Or Microsoft. Not only do you not own games, you can’t choose or vote with your wallet anymore if you get into a subscription model, MS will develop whatever costs them less and makes them more and double down on AI slop.

If I didn’t want to play on console and had a tight budget, I’d look into AMD apus or steam deck, yes, or used if that were an option in the market I were in.

My point was, for the price, you’ll be hard pressed to get better perf/visuals out of a game like the guy in the article said. Surprisingly enough, consoles still deliver an impressive presentation. Even more so if Jimbo RyRy hadn’t poured over 2bn in developing live service trash instead of core gaming experiences like Returnal, which is likely my game of this gen (together with BG3).

M8, that’s the wrong argument, you CANNOT do it for 400€-500€. I get that a PC is much more versatile, but as a turnkey solution, the console or steamdeck are downright unbeatable in value right now. GPUs cost stupid money and the PS5 still holds its own against a 6700XT(7700)/4060ti, plus it has resume play like the deck…

I use a PC (9070XT is a wonderful card) but I’m privileged. If I weren’t, I’d be buying a PS5 or a Steamdeck. You can get used PS5 disks for 10-20€, you don’t need to pay to play FTP games online and don’t need internet to play your used disks. It’s overall a far superior option unless your budget is above 1000€ or you have some kind of malformation that only let’s you play with KBM.

The PS5+used games or a Steamdeck in case you already have a library on steam are downright the only smart money options nowadays in the EU.

If you have 1000€ to burn, then you can get a pretty good machine with AM4 and RDNA3 for a reasonable price (7800xt are going for not stupid money normally). I’d still wait for the 9060 to get FSR4 and slap bazzite on a HTPC build and call it a day.

This type of PCMR regarded takes is what lets NVIDIA charge 950€ for what should essentially be a 5060 card.

Get a steamdeck instead of a PS5 every day of the week but arguing you can build a PC for the price of a PS5 (now selling as low as 400€) is downright regarded…

This is a testament that Nintendo thinks the same as I do about their fans 🤣🤣🤣

Huh, AUKUS was a backstab of a reliable ally to play pawn to the biggest aggressor in the entire region. How is that Australia defending itself?

Looks at AUKUS… Riiight, you’re the biggest victim here…

And rightfully so…

Fair enough, silk road was pretty wild.

Looking foward to see sony slap a 40€ price on it, sentencing it to be another multi-million write off.

Hopefully someone will have some common sense and this will be a boon to shooter fans. Market’s pretty saturated tho…

Average reaction of a Nintendo fanboy to abuse:

Step 1: this is expensive

Nintendo: kawaiiiiii

Step 2: shut up and take my money you cute souless overlord

At least that’s what the grapevine says about how that came together.

This is when I stopped reading because this is demonstrably false. The 214 scratches the Cortex 53 cores and is semi-custom hardware. That also ignores the obvious deal to cheapen the Tegras, which was basically handing NVIDIA the Chinese market on a silver platter, which Nintendo really didn’t cater at all…

AMD had nothing low power/long battery to offer but the jaguar at the time, so Nintendo had to deal with one of the most hated companies in order to get a competitive mobile chip, rather than doing it in-house with licensed off the shelf ARM chips like before. They took a page from SONY and went with a custom GPU based solution, but lacking a solid hardware department (AMD did a lot of the heavy lifting over the years) they just went with NVIDIA because there was almost no other game in town at that price (see Chinese market above, no one else was trying to get into streaming for the Chinese market and needed a strong game library).

That’s it

Edit: regarding output switching… You must be using an apple phone and never heard of MHL… Jesus… It’s like with Apple fans, shit exists for a decade but they honestly think it was Apple that came up with it. M8, and let’s not start with the joycons, they are pretty shit, prone to failure and the design is so garbage that even Nintendo spent R&D not to use that trash sliding mechanism again…

Yes, that’s why they took an ARM based Tegra (like the vita with the powerVR from imagination tech) unlike the in-house wiiu tech… Why look at evidence when we can ignore it and just BS to defend my fav plastic box maker…

Also, the WiiU is basically the PSP remote play in one package, 6y later…

C’mon man, do Nintendo fanboys really have to ape Apple fanboys for everything. Next thing you’re going to tell me how palworld should be sued to the ground…

“In a sense, Nintendo is the victim of its own strategic foresight. With the Switch, it was the first to spot that the narrowing gap in processing power between mobile and at-home devices had enabled a unification of handheld and home gaming experiences.”

I was out after this. This is patently wrong. Crucially, Nintendo capitalised on the failure of the vita using the exact same strategy but with a caveat: 3rd party memory cards.

The PSVita had the power to play former gen games in a compact format and MUCH better connectivity than the switch. It failed on the stupid memory cards. Nintendo did not. That’s pretty much it. Sony had the AAA handheld market with the PSP and blew it. I’d be very surprised if something like this wasn’t uttered by an MBA regard in sony’s corpo structure:

“If we divide our playerbase between handheld and dedicated living room console too much it will damage our business”.

So instead of capitalising on a massive library of games that could easily have been ported to a handheld format (the PS4 had 1,4TFlops, we’ve surpased that on mobile before the PS5 launched) SONY decided to double down on AAA and subsequently in live service games, and here we are…

If someone can create a handheld AAA console is a team lead by mark cerny with the support of AMD. To this day I don’t know how we end up with PS portal instead…

So here we are, Sony carved out a niche (AAA and fidelity) from the Nintendo handheld success, and just decided to sit on their hands with it. There was exactly 0 foresight from Nintendo. They knew from the beginning the living room was lost to either MS or Sony to begin with.

Follow to the end of the thread, you walked out thinking someone just understood what you meant and probably with a sense of closed matter rather than boiling because some neo nazi government just arrested two UK MPs.

It was highly effective.

They don’t need to win an argument, they just need to make you think about something else.

The entire crypto world has been hijacked by drug dealers, pedos and would be dictators. If they ratioed me because of that, then I wholeheartedly deserve the flack. We need an alternative non speculative private payment method.

Apparently not, seeing how badly I got ratiod. Nintendo fans sure are something…
