“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”
Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.
I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is more likely to be held back by software limitations than hardware limitations, according to a game developer.
LLC: "Nintendo Switch 2 is a massive upgrade in every way that matters on a day to day basis, and with some firmware updates it could be even better."
It is massive compared to the switch 1. 6-10X the power, but compared to current standards it’s the bare minimum.
It's just a minor upgrade nothing special. Could have included the Oled screen but greedy Nintendo have something planned for it already.
You are self aware of how dumb and "sheepy" that tagline of "greedy" sounds like at this point in time, right?
Every little entitled twat on the internet has used it ad nauseum, as if all of a sudden you somehow struck gold or something. it ALMOST sounds as infantile as the other meme vomit brain rot: "Defending the billion dollar company, blah, blah" FFS. tell me its "irony" at least what you are trying to express, so at least i can give you some credit for being "clever" or bold. I refuse to believe you ACTUALLY believe what you are saying, unironically,
Great review! We have almost the same impression of the Switch 2. I don't care if the screen isn't OLED, because when I put it next to my friend's Steam OLED screen, they barely deviated in quality.
as an owner of a Steam Deck OLED and a Switch 2 I can wholeheartedly disagree with this statement.
The Steam Deck is nice as I can play my Steam library on the go. But until the Steam Deck can run Mario Kart World or DK Bananza at 60fps then honestly, I can't even begin to compare the two.
And yet people will buy it regardless of the other "good" consoles lol. People want to have fun, not to gawk at dem gwafics like some of you would.
it can do better graphics than the Steam Deck. Higher resolution screen and it can use DLSS which is superior to FSR.
PSVR2 might go mainstream soon imo.
PSVR 2 is going to push VR on Playstation like never before.
VR will likely never be mainstream and PSVR2 certainly isn't going to push it there. The price point is waaaay too high to become mainstream when you factor in you also need a PS5. Most people can't justify that $ for a platform that won't have a ton of games. Wearing a headset while gaming is a barrier that will keep VR from ever becoming truly mainstream even if it becomes more popular. It's powerful and impressive hardware, but it'll remain what psvr was, a niche product that some people own and like to show their friends but the lack of games, cost, and need to wear the headset will prevent it from becoming mainstream.
Psvr2 will help going on that path. It's inevitable. The evolution of gaming is towards total immersion in the game. It's being on the game. We aren't there yet, but the tech keeps evolving.
