Sony's PlayStation 5 became in 2d location and Microsoft's Xbox Series Xturned into in 1/3 area. In terms of revenue, PS5 banked the maximum final year.

Kinda loopy to think that the Switch is Nintendo’s high-quality promoting domestic console, and is in truth exceptional in the returned of the DS standard!

Switch had a few other extraordinary 12 months I see. Here’s to 2023 and beyond. Have a super week women and gentlemen. 🥂

Good effects for each Switch and PS5.

Xbox wants to pull their finger out massive time. This is their maximum powerful market and nonetheless lagging in 0.33. Gamepass by myself may not reduce it.

Switch continues on preserving on.

I offered my youngest daughter the Pokemon OLED version ............Which I'm genuinely jealous of.😜

I'm pretty sure the PS5 is no longer selling at a loss, however as a long manner as I understand, Nintendo consoles commonly start off selling at a moderate profit that continually grows due to the fact the technology goes on. So between Sony's higher revenue and Nintendo's likely better income margins, I wonder who got here out on top in actual take advantage of console profits.

I'd sooner or later bite and take keep of a Switch Oled this past black friday, became a groovy sale at Wal-Mart so i had to however yeah, though dont assume Switch will overtrhone the PS2 as a good deal as i would like to, oh nicely 🫤

Anybody were given the prints money gif?

I bought a 2d Switch this 365 days as a Christmas gift. Truly, it’s an first-rate console, in all likelihood my favored console I’ve ever purchased, and I say that as a person that purchased all three of the massive consoles. I desire the Switch topples the PS2 within the future.

You like to appearance it. Not unexpected the least bit considering Nintendo had a virtually sturdy 365 days last three hundred and sixty five days with some massive sellers blanketed, not to mention the standard evergreens.

I wonder which console will come to be promoting the maximum in the USA for 2023

Been gaming for the purpose that 80’s. First device have become the actual NES with Mario Bros / Duck Hunt. Had plenty of systems over the years. Nintendo Switch is my all-time favored.

I however find it irresistible, irrespective of how growing older it is now. So many remarkable video video games.

Folk claiming the Switch is jogging out of steam are making gaming a ways an excessive amount of effort lol.

Can it do it this 12 months? Yeah. Something tells me TotK goes to have hundreds of folks in the industry thinking why they did not think about that.

@EriXz

Yeah, it is likely. As it stands, no longer many human beings available in recent times need a cheap DVD player. Also the Switch does now not destroy down almost as much as ps2s did. I don't forget all the ones discrete mistakes and chewed up discs for sure.

@Freek real work. My youngest is four and I've just gotten him into gambling video games. It's magical.

@P-Man it's miles Incredible; in reality, Nintendo Switch is my all time preferred Console from Nintendo.

@Doomcrow identical. Got my NES for Xmas when I became four. I adore my Switch. I've usually desired handhelds, and the Switch is a outstanding one. Before this it have become the GBA. I have waaaaay too many handheld and a PS5, however I mainly play my Switch. Really searching ahead to TotK.
...Like as in replaying BotW and Ocarina, with Between Worlds next.
It's clearly not the worst way to live, tbh.

And people wonder why there can be no Switch 2 however...Haha

It’s a top notch console with some of the greatest games. It’s only a disgrace with the ROM dumping and pirating of new video games that aren’t even launched yet.

How can this be, I thought the Switch turn out to be useless inside the water without a Pro revision, as it would no longer be capable of run the ones 0.33 birthday celebration triple AAA video video games that by no means sell at the device except.

Guess the middle lovers will virtually need to bear some , greater years of a decrease powered console despite the fact that outselling all those uber powerful machines, on the equal time as everybody else simply performs video video games and has amusing.

This proves there may be no want for a "next-gen" Switch...Small upgrades shall do the trick Next up...The Netflix app...And the income shall burst even greater

Great to peer Nintendo despite the fact that on the top. I'm a piece burdened as to why the PS5 is pinnacle of the software profits, at the same time as digital income are not protected for the Switch video games? Surely that is a tremendous addition to the earnings, in-reality it might be the majority in a few instances. Which manner that recognition ought to be fascinated by a pinch of salt in a way.

@D_Munk

That is solely on Nintendo for no longer providing virtual profits information.

The stats humans can only work with the info furnished and that they make clean that digital sales aren't covered for Nintendo titles.

@Anachronism Portable hardware fee greater to make. Smaller so extra steeply-priced additives wished and the display screen on my own make the price manufacturing skyrockets. I doubt the switch hardware makes greater income than the PS5 hardware it's a whole lot extra easy to make.

@SBandy1 considering Microsoft as a top author in Steam / PC and desing their platform Xbox as a service apart a console, I think exclusive metrics are had to degree Xbox penetration. For example, monthly lively customers in online offerings.

@theModestMouse Nintendo is in a tricky state of affairs. If they release the Switch 2 early and it does no longer meet expectancies (or in the event that they substantially alternate it to be much less convenient than the Switch) then audiences will say the Switch changed into a fluke and go away Nintendo.

However, if Nintendo does now not announce a device quick with specs or model dess for the audiences, then humans will begin dropping hobby.

They want to make their subsequent pass cautiously however now not up to now off from the future.

@fbnaulin

Well I'm speakme consoles right here as that's what the item is about.

Microsoft did now not launch a unmarried sport of note in 2022.

@SBandy1 yeah I get that. That's why I said we have to kinda take those announcements with a pinch of salt clearly (for the software program aspect).
Still Nintendo aren't doing too badly are they Roll on Tears of the Kingdom I say.

@D_Munk

Absolutely, can not appearance beforehand to that pastime!

Unpopular opinion, I nevertheless opt for 3DS over than Switch for some cause if I compared among Nintendo machines, however I put PS4 on #1 for the cutting-edge machine I finished and Nintendo Switch fell all the way down to quantity four.
Here is the breakdown.

1. PS4
2. PS3
three. 3DS
4. Switch
five. PS2

I did not suggest to say Switch is suck after I have the machine for five years, some factor that made me dissatisfied once I noticed a few flaws from Nintendo Switch in term of porting sure third birthday party multi console video games and code in field remedy on Switch version.

Switch is still doing great. In 2025 Switch 2.

@glaemay I mean the PS5 grow to be confirmed to be initially selling at a loss, while the Switch has generally been promoting at a profits, so glaringly being portable might no longer avoid it from being extra worthwhile. Actually, I cannot discover something saying the digital-handiest PS5 ever stopped selling at a loss. There are different issues, just like the PS5's more contemporary-day hardware, higher scarcity of additives, and constructed in SSD, that could preserve the price of production lots higher compared to the Switch's quite old internals. Then again, inflation's in all likelihood taken a huge bite out of every their profits, with Sony even elevating their prices in a few regions, so it's really tough to say who's faring better in the meantime.

@SBandy1 Sure. They had a weak year in phrases of first celebration content material. 2023 is calling better. Let's desire for the great.

@P-Man it's not really a home console even though it is a mobile device with a hdmi output port on the dock lol

Best issue approximately the switch is it’s sleep button.

@Would_you_kindly,

It's a Hybrid so in effect both home or handheld console, that is why proper from the start it come to be marketed as such... The name Switch is a pretty ideal indicator too.

I use mine as a home console 90% of the time.

@johnvboy it's a cellular tool it uses a a cell chip , I can join my psp to my TV it might not make it a home console

Have a day one Switch. Just had been given my OLED and find it impossible to resist. Truly a fun device.

As an apart, whoever is buying Madden 23, curse you. We'll by no means see a amazing NFL undertaking.

@Would_you_kindly,

The PSP just like the 3DS have become a dedicated handheld tool, the Switch is a hybrid gadget with a dock to connect to the T.V, so it's far every.

@KevinP We already have been given a first rate NFL sport, it is called NFL Blitz 2000 for the N64.

@johnvboy the transfer lite this is the identical device without the dock is a hand-held....

Given it’s my favored Nintendo home device now I’m pleased to look it end up their nice dealer. Given the mess Nintendo changed into in 7 years in the past it’s an super turnaround. Good idea, desirable hardware, accurate software program, pinnacle marketing, appropriate USP. Nailed it.

We all understand there may be not something stopping the Switch at this point, the PS5 and Xbox Series X came out too overdue, the Steam Deck even later, and the Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One were effortlessly trump.

And that is exactly why there isn't always a Switch successor yet. Why recuperation what currently is not damaged?

Will surpass the PS2 on sales. I've been announcing that for a long term. Long reing for the Switch!

@Would_you_kindly,

No the lite is a hand-held because it does now not dock, it modified into desed for people trying to enhance from the 3DS and did no longer need to connect with the T.V.

@Edu23XWiiU,

It has a risk, even extra so if Nintendo put off the successor, which seems probable due to the fact the Switch remains in outstanding name for, and no longer the use of a real fee reduce as yet.

I agree with that as long because it prints cash, Nintendo will maintain Switch taking region the tracks, this is satisfactory with the useful resource of me, because of the fact I love my Switch.

@Serpenterror That changed into a extraordinary recreation. As became ESPN 2K5. But I'm speaking on modern gen or near destiny gen. It's a disgrace.

@1UP_MARIO It sounds so trivial, although it is surely very accessible, sincerely certainly one of my favored functions of the Switch is the capacity to simply freeze the game at any time, and come decrease back later. I desire Nintendo continues that characteristic in future consoles.

@1UP_MARIO

Best element about the Switch is how its sleep function genuinely works.

You press the button, it is going into sleep mode quicker than a M1 Mac. And that’s severely incredible. When you press it over again, it wakes lower lower back to where you left off right away.

It helps mitigate the rather long load times lots of large AAA Switch games have.

@johnvboy

It’s more of a hand-held although because of its hardware specifications although.

That stated, the PS4 and Xbone each used a CPU desed for Ultrabooks once more in 2011. It come to be way underpowered but builders come what may made it paintings.

So possibly that’s no longer an amazing metric anymore.

@OrtadragoonX agree. Puts you right in the sport where you beyond played

What's your reaction?
