There are plenty of other descriptive words to use. And I was talking about mimicry in general, so that's as true for Unreal as it is for Xbox as it is for anyone. I don't think it makes sense to be so lacking in creativity in your marketing, whether it's B2B or B2C. I don't know if that's "weird", but that's my opinion. It's not a big deal of course, but I think it's a bit silly.
Idk about a hybrid AND a traditional console. Wouldn't those two just cannibalize each other? Are we getting 8K games next year? No? Are 120 hz tv becoming more common? Idk, but if not I just see a split. Then if Microsoft just want it to play Xbox one games and some series games... then how well will it do without new content?
full reveal with preorders next day. Have to get the ball rolling for the May/June release.
Furukawa said they wanted to make the period between reveal and release much shorter. I personally think we are in for a surprise with the release date that will shock people.
While I agree that we should chill with the dog piling, it's important to acknowledge that:
I'm pretty new to this community and I have to agree. It will be incredibly interesting to see how many of these arrogant users are just so painfully wrong once we get official news.
You've GOT to be joking. Did you happen to miss how people here treated the folks suggesting the new device won't have joy-cons?
Arrogant is quite a stretch, imho. Despite the occasional arguing, we're mostly informed based on our ~3 years worth of findings (which you can find on the first page). Even though there's a high chance we'll get a few things wrong, as we can't possibly know everything, but I don't know about "painfully" wrong (unless it's specific occasions, like the quarterly Q&As, then.....). No offense, but I think you need to be a little more acquainted with this community, if this is the conclusion you've drawn, same with what I assume to be many new lurkers here.
Derisively? Probable, though yes, I did miss those specific exchanges.
The NX was announced like 2 years before it came out. At this point I'm sure that's what he was referring to.
Well here is the thing, a couple of users here did the research and the math. They did some investigative work. Some here even did some testing with what is public. The ones that disagree are not doing themselves a favor by not even reading the first page, the first post constantly updates on new finding.
Yeah, I've lost count of how many times I've seen people on other sites act as though all Nintendo had to do was press the "make Wii U games work on Switch" button.
No offense, but it’s pretty telling you felt I was talking about you when I wasn’t.
No???? I wasn't even trying to insert myself in that part of the conversation.
We are not attacking no one or their character. We just only call out there reasoning behind it. "Because Nintendo" that is such a lazy argument. Are we not allowed to dissect that argument?
No, it becomes dogpiling when users assume that because the majority agrees over something that it must be fact to the point that they begin mocking the person who proposed the thing folks disagreed with. Just disagree and move on. It doesn't have to become this whole spectacle where folks start accusing each other of trolling or get all giddy over ignoring certain people.
Could you please show us examples of this happening?
It's a turn of phrase people. It's slang and meant to poke fun at Nintendo's out of the box and often anti-consumer practices. Why does such a phrase trigger so many people here when there have been decades of weird, difficult-to-explain-at-face-value decisions made by Nintendo?
I don't think he means people saying "Because Nintendo" literally. A "Because Nintendo" argument is an argument that suggests that Nintendo will/won't do something because they haven't/have done it in the past. These types of arguments rarely make sense, because Nintendo are an ever-changing company and especially post-Switch their previous actions do not affect their current decisions.
Depends on what you mean by cannibalize. If you mean “won’t they just split the same sales base,” probably not. There are a chunk of handheld players untapped by either MS and Sony right now. On this thread how many non-Xbox owners would buy a Xbox Handheld if it were guaranteed the same games as the S|X? I would.
With all due respect the last time mods intervened a little more, you and a couple others complained. And they didn't ban anyone. They just warned people.
But some people just talk in a condescending manner right off the bat. Hell when I first came here I dealt with this cause that OP is a bit much. I cannot, with my adhd, read that shit. I had asked for a simple retread of what is known and whatnot and it took a couple passive aggressive comments but someone was nice enough to educate me. And I will not blame anyone wanting to do the same cause that OP is too much lol. Funnily enough the ones who made passive aggressive comments are banned but still.
This is what I mean. This 100%. Someone here was threadbanned for being pretty arrogant in their pessimism but if you are optimistic and arrogant...you're good.
Almost every time I've offered a thought in this thread that conflicts with the current fami-approved ideal, I feel I've experienced a bit of dogpiling.
Assuming by joy-con discussion you're talking about the recent discourse around Nate's latest podcast episode, saying that "the whole thread" devolved into that is disingenuous. I did see a few insults thrown around, which is obviously unacceptable, but the majority of people just seemed to be confused about why he thought this when the burden of proof suggests the new system will have them.
I feel the same way. At least I don't have to read anything from that user, but the red banners seems to just go on for pages.
See, but that is built on quite a few assumptions about Nintendo and the next device that you don't even realize you're taking for granted.
Microsoft needs to find it's niche. Coming out with a hybrid will just put them where they are now vis-a-vis Sony but vs Nintendo and it solves nothing.
It is very unlikely that CMB is not Switch 2. Not impossible, but very unlikely. There's stuff connecting it to T239 for example, and if it were for a Switch 1 revision there would likely be other clues. If it were just experimental prototyping we wouldn't be seeing it in that form either.
I was discussing the device not having joy-cons before Nate's podcast and folks were already dismissing me and insulting me then. Nate's podcast just brought a whole new wave of it.
This seems less noticable, but I'd say AI complexity. Pikmin comes to mind in that regard, as the first game was a showcase of not only the GameCube's rendering capabilities, but also the AI of 100 characters (although that's yielded mixed results).
