"NVIDIA’s reasoning for dismissing PlayStation 4, leaked footage of Star Wars: First Assault surfaces, and Nintendo found guilty of latest patent infringement case."
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Nvidia is extremely salty because AMD gave Sony,Microsoft and Nintendo a better deal on the parts. making them not get any of the contracts for next gen consoles. But im sure the shield will out sell them all...
I doubt that the patent infringment thing with Nintendo will have a big impact on anything going on with them.
I wasn't too surprised after hearing about Nintendo's patent infringement.
Having been a proud member of the green team for many many years, I think it's great that AMD are getting backing by companies like Sony and Microsoft. I had a few ATi graphics cards back in the day, but poor driver support and just an overall lack of support made me jump to nVIDIA and I haven't turned back since. In recent years, AMD have certainly stepped up and proved themselves and have improved dramatically, and at the end of the day, both manufactures make excellent products (I own a TITAN myself) Of course nVIDIA are disappointed that they couldn't come to an agreement with these companies, but a surge in popularity for AMD, I see, can be something good - especially for the PC market. This will hopefully force more competition and 'old school' rivalry between red vs. green, something that's been missing for quite some time now.
At the end of the day, the typical average consumer won't give a shiny shite about all this, nor probably know or care who AMD or nVIDIA even are. For gaming enthusiasts, especially of the PC platforming, this should be something to raise your eyebrows and may inspire the PC gaming market to step it up. Interesting times lie ahead...
