gafemaqs 1 day ago#1 "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. (edited 1 day ago)stickyreportquote

Do Apple, Samsung, and other smartphone makers coin the term "mobile war" because they are competing for your dollar? 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. reportquote

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.

   ArsenicSteel 18 hours ago#91 wingo84 posted... Ganiam posted... 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFEYnEN-nRI reportquote
