"But to say it was ONLY the release window when the game still had issues selling at $19.99 during the slower periods of the year is being rather blind and narrow minded."

I didn't say it was the only reason but i believe it definitely played the biggest factor, that time of year is always jam packed with games and there is several series you shouldn't try and compete with. That's why you'll see some developers announce r...

That's pure assumption, there is no proof the exclusive deal or the first game which reviewed well by both critics and users affected the second games performance. You had Call of Duty which always sells good and one of the most hyped Battlefield games in recent memory coming out and they chose to try and compete with the two biggest juggernauts, it didn't work out. When Titanfall 2 came to Steam over a year ago, 4 years after its launch it was a massive hit...

Damn shame they released it right in between Call of Duty and Battlefield, it’s an awesome game.

Nintendo has been doing hardware revisions like this for decades and we've gotten slim variants of other consoles lacking features such as backwards compatibility and/or cheaper build quality in flavor of cost, i mean the last handheld not from Nintendo was the Vita which Sony refreshed the system by ditching the OLED panel in flavor of a cheaper LCD one to make the entry cost (50$ cheaper) more appealing, here it's just the opposite. given they're selling 10's of millions of ...

The vast majority of console games were not 1080p 4x MSAA with the settings cranked at 60 fps, they were sub 900p-1080p 30 fps with PC equivalent settings from low to high in most cases which usually resulted in crappy image quality. There is also a difference between a 1080p TV released in 2006 and one released 10 years later ect, a high end 1080p TV panel was still better than those crappy $500 Vizio 4k TV's from a few years ago, panel quality is far more imp...

There is plenty of pro players that use high refresh 1080p panels, it’s not like 1080p is blurry assuming your using a decent AA solution.

This comment is ridiculous, there is nothing on the market that size that can push UHD-4k in a form factor like this, the GPD Win 3, Gx1 PRO and Aya Neo are the highest end handhelds in the market for AAA gaming and at best are suited for 1080p with settings turned up depending on the game with the cheapest model starting around $800 US.

The only mid gen console upgrades with large spec bumps were the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, why would you assume Nintendo would do something like that when they’ve never done that? This is right in line with all their updated console models, it has nothing to do with defending the company and more in line with keeping expectations in check lol.

Trolling fans because rumours were incorrect? Nintendo never said a more powerful switch was coming.

I can't imagine they could get Goldeneye on it just because of the licensing/likenesses issues with stuff like that, they'd probably have a better shot at getting Perfect Dark from Microsoft lol.

Yeah and you can play it without ever playing in your hands on a television, it also is faster than the a Wii-U, 360 and PS3 home consoles and plays full AAA games on it. Doesn’t matter what you call it, it fills two categories.

I think i pegged it selling 50 million on the high end, it's done amazingly well despite no price drop.

What handheld gaming systems have a HDMI and Cooling fan? It's a hybrid system, the Wii-U was a home console but the Switch had the overall better version of games like Botw and Mario Kart 8, either way it's not like people expected it do this well regardless of what you classify it as.

Todd also stated:

"It's also a bit more hardcore of a roleplaying game than we've done," Howard said to The Telegraph. "It's got some really great character systems—choosing your background, things like that. We’re going back to some things that we used to do in games long ago that we felt have really let players express the character they want to be."

You’re acting like Morrowwind and Oblivion were incredibly deep games lol, less janky doesn’t mean you like simpler games lol.

People have complained about this for years, have a look at larger communities like Reddit let alone here where it seems to get brought up fairly regularly when given the opportunity lol: https://www.reddit.com/r/ni...

Sony are the first of the big three to bump up the prices by 10$ so of course people are going to make articles about it, people co...

I'm all for bots but it's silly they can't be turned off, given there track record in single player for AI i can't imagine bots on these kind of maps will be great.

I didn't even hear that they went on sale here in Canada, i was at work and they were all sold out by the time i got off the same day it was announced, i fluked out when someone posted a link to Amazon Japan on twitter which had them the next day. Regardless it'd be nice if companies in general prioritized long time account holders/subscribers with a limited amount and did raffles like shoe companies do so the average person has a better chance, you can't compete with these bots. ...

There is lighting and shadows, you can see the shadows on Samus and enemies when they walk into light sources that are being cast from the background lol.

They could easily release MW2 with micro transactions, they did it was the MW1 remaster lol.
