Welp... That's good news for the Switch I guess.

Imp0ssibl33139d ago

They did say something about porting at least a major game there.

Neonridr3139d ago

yep, if the Switch can handle Unreal 4, then no reason why it shouldn't be able to handle Frostbite 3 (or whatever version they are up to now).

Alexious3139d ago

It can surely handle it. In the interview, he says Frostbite now can support even mobile games...

zb1ftw7773139d ago

Game Engine is not the issue.

It's how many processes and polygons they try to push with it.

The Switch won't be able to keep up, so don't get your hopes up.

zivtheawesome3139d ago

@zb1ftw777
only that the switch is rumored to be more powerful than the XO.

ccgr3139d ago

Hopefully able to play together cross platform too

bleedsoe9mm3139d ago

play anywhere is a must as well , once you pay for it once you shouldn't have to buy it again on different devices especially if its easy for devs to do different platforms

I'll believe their BS when Madden returns to PC.

True, they have pretty different audiences..and some People just have both at home or a PS and a PC that emulates more or less everything from Nintendo.

Knightofelemia3d ago

Xbox hasn't been a competitor since the XB360. Last generation and this generation Sony has been running circles around Xbox. As for Sony vs Nintendo Sony runs circles yes but I don't really see Nintendo as competition. Nintendo does their own thing and it works.

Details are important. Console sales yes. Overall games Xbox seems to be doing fairly well in that department.

LoveSpuds2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

MS were doing so well that they had to start selling their games on their main competitors system which in turn results in around 30% of each sale going to Sony as the platform holder.

I do think tjat MS' fortunes will improve now that they are actually selling games rather than giving them away for pennies on the dollar.

Something that occurs to me is that the more success MS published games have elsewhere, the more stark it will become that selling games is much more profitable than renting them. If that becomes highly noticable, I wonder what the shareholders (who ultimately run the show) will make of a service which has stagnated for years?

crazyCoconuts2d ago

PlayStation doesn't compete with third party games, they compete on consoles. They profit from third party games. If you're not comparing consoles there's no point in comparing.

drivxr3d ago

Console wars are over.

Eventually, everyone else will catch up to this fact.

attilayavuzer3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I think it's all PS fans have left at this point. Console wars were always a competition for fourth place behind Nintendo, PC and mobile. If Xbox evaporates into a hybrid virtual platform, then PS will be perennially left in last place.

Christopher3d ago

Strange, I recall all those FCC documents and witness testimonies saying the exact opposite... Guess Microsoft doesn't know what it's talking about?

PanicMechanic2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great analysis. Just joking.

Pretending like companies give a f about where they “rank” against each other is just super retarded. This isn’t the World Cup.

Tell me, how does “PC” compete against a brand like PlayStation? It just doesn’t make sense at all. What you just said, is complete and utter nonsense

BlaqMagiq12d ago

I don't think PS cares about being in this so-called "last place" you came up with when they're making profits hand over fist.

microsoft wanted to crush sony into dust and they had the money to do it, but with such weak leadership it was always going to fail

Reaper22_3d ago

Had the money? They still have the money but the industry has changed since xbox 360. Microsoft is the number one publisher in gaming. I'd hardly call that failing.

IRetrouk3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

The industry hasn't changed though, just ms, Microsoft was the no1 publisher for a month in december 2024, the actual no1 for fy2024 was tencent if game sales are all that's being counted.

Profchaos3d ago

Money doesn't mean you'll be successful large corporations have entered and failed before like Nec

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
