@KaiYugure "The Switch 2 kinda failed outside of Japan."

So we're just making stuff up now? It's still the fastest selling console of all-time & second fastest in the US outside after the GBA. Maybe you just have really high standards if you actually believe that, but it sounds to me like you're just talking.

@Odium They didn't wait for anything. The game was announced last year before anyone knew about Star Fox. Besides, they're not coming to any of the same platforms, so it's not like they're competing directly anyway unless you actively buy games for more than one.

@Beermonkey I think it's time to get over that. It was only 6 months & can we really blame them? They figured out what plenty of developers already did at the time--the Wii U was a sinking ship. Besides, they've done plenty of worse things since.

This honestly makes no sense. Sony (for the most part) & Nintendo don't make games for other consoles, so it makes sense why they don't do this. But you would think that since Microsoft does, they would want everyone to know exactly what consoles their games are coming to. Just another thing among a long line of things that shows they have almost no idea what they're doing.

@BustedUpBiker All good

@BustedUpBiker You don't need VRR support for 40 FPS docked. You just need a 120Hz TV, but it definitely wouldn't make sense for that to be the only option since not everyone has a 120Hz setup.

@Kezelpaso I considered that, but it wouldn't make any sense to do that at all in this case.

How can the quality mode on handheld Switch 2 be 1260p when the screen resolution is 1080p? Has to be a mistake, right?

@themightyant In Nintendo's defense, that's how they've always done it & they've been doing it a lot longer than X-Box, so it's second nature for Nintendo users.

@GoldenPants I agree with you. The way Microsoft is hyping it up, this premium X-Box seems like it will almost certainly come eventually, but it's definitely a niche device at best. As far as a new entry in the regular console race, I'm not sure that they should even bother. With all the ill will they've garnered in the last few years, it would almost certainly do worse than the current gen in sales.

But to be clear, I don't want to see them gone from that space. Nintendo & Sony already seem to be getting more cocky & that's not a good thing for the consumers. If it's not Microsoft, someone needs to occupy that third slot.

This sounds pretty delusional. They barely sold 2M consoles in 2025. Even the OG Switch sold more. You can't have a "longer tail than usual" when you're on life support.

@Shinato2024 Surprisingly, it's actually 6-7 times.
