Who CARES if Switch is ''winning'' the console war or not?

  3. Who CARES if Switch is ''winning'' the console war or not?

"Console war" is a made up marketing gimmick anyway.

If the Switch has a good Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and Donkey Kong game then it will have done the things it needs to do to be a satisfactory console. This is how Nintendo has operated for a few generations now.

It's not a marketing gimmick. It's something that the gaming community and media created, not the console manufacturers.

Both which are not named "Console War". Heck, those two you listed were from Sega, who haven't been in hardware for how long now?

PS2 outsold GC by over 100 million but still got lots of good titles, including third party games.

There's no reason to believe Switch will sell so poorly it will be bereft of games.

It is a general rule, not a guarantee. You are right that GC had plenty of games, and NS might too.

He said console manufacturers didn't perpetuate the marketing tactics that kept the "war" alive, and all you can respond with is that they didn't call it by that name?

Lol do you just like being a contrarian or something

Doesn't change the fact that you are trying to claim that manufacturers coined the term "console war" when all they do is compete like any business does in the same field. Do Apple, Samsung, and other smartphone makers coin the term "mobile war" because they are competing for your dollar?

I care if they sell well. More support from devs. Winning...is a huge overstatement. They still need around 60 million to even catch up.

I said nothing about coining any phrase in any post. Console wars themselves are marketing gimmicks. Factoids and talking points created by the marketing team that consumers then relay via word of mouth thus driving interest in the product is the foundation of the "war," same as it was years ago (except even sadder). This will persist regardless of what you call it or phrase you coin.
TC, it doesn't really matter since you don't even own one.

Nintendo fanatics care a lot. They are probably sick of being last place and constantly looking up.

This board keeps on making 4.6 million sales in 5 months to be a much bigger deal than it really is. (It's 1.6 million more than what Wii U was at in the same timeframe.)

So yes, this board cares a lot.

Because you care how nintendo is doing. Everyone knows you are a liar. Some of you sony fanboys like you and linetrix care more about nintendo than the nintendo fanboys you suppsedly hate do.

Well I do own a 3ds and had a Wii U. I'm entitled to be here and share my views on Nintendo the same as everyone else. Lets not forget that the people accusing me of trolling are the same ones who were saying the Wii U was the best console last gen, and that I was right all along.

I've experienced that before. Some weirdo used to keep names of people who said anything negative about FF XV in a word document. He would then write notes of statements made about the game so he could pull it up and use it later in an argument.

    They were fun during the snes/genesis days. Both companies pushed hard to make their consoles awesome and to keep competing. And my friends who had sega (i had nintendo) where cool as f*** and werent the kind of punk ass b****es we see fighting console wars now. We would clown on each other but then they would play Mario Kart at my place and I would play streets of rage at theirs.

    This, so we care about the sales.

    Nintendo has been outsold before and it had little to no impact on the quality or quantity of games available. Switch would need to unequivocally bomb but it's already past that point.

    Wii U had games. Bringing up the Virtual Boy is a false equivalency because the console was fundamentally flawed from its inception. Not comparable at all.

    I own a PS4 and Switch, I'm not partial to either side. And is that really all you have to say after I revealed how stupid "console wars" are?

    Console wars are dumb.

    They were fun during the snes/genesis days. Both companies pushed hard to make their consoles awesome and to keep competing. And my friends who had sega (i had nintendo) where cool as f*** and werent the kind of punk ass b****es we see fighting console wars now. We would clown on each other but then they would play Mario Kart at my place and I would play streets of rage at theirs.


    Uhhh the people who actually fought back then we're just as ridiculous as those that do now. People haven't changed but a majority of people just chose a console and get on with it (with the odd bit of "banter" between friends for a laugh). If we had these forums back in those days you can bet your bottom dollar we'd see the exact same bollocks.

    This. The only difference is that Internet wasn't as widespread as it is now. If it was, there would surely have been the same s*** we have today.

    The Wii U was a good console many high-quality titles only available for that system. This is a fact regardless of how many it sold or how much better the other consoles did.

    PS2 outsold GC by over 100 million but still got lots of good titles, including third party games.

    There's no reason to believe Switch will sell so poorly it will be bereft of games.


    Nice joke. PS2 clearly destroyed Gamecube to smithereens. You say GC had lots of good tittles? lol! GC had few quality games and had very very very few 3rd party support compared to PS2.


    Compared to PS2? Obviously it had less to offer. Doesn't mean NGC was hurting for good games.


    Speaking of a console blowing the others to smithereens, let's discuss the Wii.

    Oh, do you keep tabs on people you think "troll" you? George Orwell would find you an interesting specimen.

    I've experienced that before. Some weirdo used to keep names of people who said anything negative about FF XV in a word document. He would then write notes of statements made about the game so he could pull it up and use it later in an argument.

    Doesn't surprise me in the slightest lol

    Again... insecure manchildren. ;)

    Also, the Wii U met the average of a console's lifespan. Despite Nintendo's poor handling, it is a full-fledged console in every regard.

    Sure because of annonymity. But when you have friends and you are talking about consoles it doesnt get like it does online. So it was better then.

    Are console wars still a thing?


    Only to loser chumps 


    Competition is good but as long as you have fun it don’t matter.



    The funny thing is "console wars" is a euphemism for competion among console makers and brand loyalists. It is only 1 of many such brand wars that exist. Stupid? Nope. It's a quick way to surmise the rivalries(I didn't say hatred) that arise among like businesses. 

    Hell, there are books on the subject. The only stupid thing going on is some gamers trying to pretend that the gaming industry exists in a vacuum devoid of basic human trappings and conventions.
    It's geeks who really make or break a TV show or movie or videogame.

    "Console war" is a made up marketing gimmick anyway.

    If the Switch has a good Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and Donkey Kong game then it will have done the things it needs to do to be a satisfactory console. This is how Nintendo has operated for a few generations now.


    Yeah , it's about as made up as your switch

    4 or 5 years is about the lifespan of a generation.
