Amazing. After all the whining and complaining about the price being too high, the NS2 broke multiple global sales records and now the Nintendo President has even apologised for not being able to meet demand.
I’ve already got a 1TB microSD express. Already used more than half of the storage. Really need 2TB or better yet 5TB, but I can only imagine the eye watering price for one that large. Probably cost more than the NS2 MKW console bundle, pro-controller and camera combined.
Kit & Krysta were cringy when they were apart of NoA or NoE (I honestly don’t know or care which they were apart of), now they’re just painful. They’ve been off the mark so often, that I don’t know why NLife keeps quoting them, are they stupid?
They’re really going to whine about the sales on a console that’s only been 2 weeks on the market, for game ports that came out well over a year ago, sold at premium prices, while being sold on sale or having permanent price drops elsewhere? Then there’s the whole key card dilemma. I mean really?
SteamDecks and PC handhelds go under the radar because it’s Steam, I mean where are their specific sales numbers? I bet they’re not pumping out great numbers either.
Come back when it’s a game released day and date as the others.
The only thing I look at Sony for is how they robbed Stellar Blade from being a multiplatform game, luckily it’s finally on PC now, only with little thanks to Sony.
So MS slapped the Xbox brand on an Asus ROG and called it a day.
The cheapest I can find for the current market ROG Ally is A$1200, A$1600 for the Ally X.
So the Xbox branding may end up calling it a premium product and bump the price up more, who knows?
Either way, I doubt it’ll have any significant impact on the NS2.
Poor Perfect Dark. One truly great game, then mistreated ever since. Hopefully they’ve gone back to at least redesign her character model, lose the man-jaw and go for a more feminine look like her original design.
Also never forget, NLife gave Other M a 9/10, but turned on it when the majority opinion was negative.
I even remember them doing an article the first time these Figma models were announced, NLife suggesting that you get these models only to stomp them to pieces.
Nice, I’ll get them both this time. Figma and JoyToy make the best fully articulated models, imo. Already got the Dread and Prime models and a TP Zelda model from Figma.
JoyToy is my go to for WH40K models.
Like him or not, he’s not wrong in what he says. If you really want something, you’ll find a way. But the whole “true fans” statement, that’s a bit below the belt.
Besides, gaming is just a form of 1st world entertainment, the real outrage should be toward the price increases on things that truly matter, like food and medical needs.
“Well, at this point, considering the success of the game, it kind of changes everything. So clearly, it’s too early to say, but we’re kind of in a situation where… let’s say there are a lot of opportunities showing up – way too many at once – and we’re figuring out what we’ll go for and what we won’t. But yeah, it’s definitely something that could be interesting.”
Makes me think they have a potential buyer for their little dev studio.
lol, people here complaining about the lack of physical editions, yet data on consumer purchases have shown the rise in digital sales have been outperforming physical for a while now.
Why do you think digital only consoles exist now? Not to mention PC & PC handhelds are strongly on the digital scene.
Well durr, Nintendo always supports their consoles until the consumers move on, that’s just standard business practice. The real guessing game has alway been figuring out how quickly consumers decide to move on. Hopefully Nintendo and the OG Switch will hold on for at least another 8 million units sold. 😉
Most smart phones already do this. Ever wondered why certain videos or ads just so happen to show up on your phone after you’ve talked about specifics?
People crack the sads over this, but all things point to digital downloads being the future for gaming. You don’t see people making the same noise about the same situation on SteamDeck or other PC handhelds, do you?
Then there’s the fact that basically every game on any platform needs some sort of download update to play it.
I’ve got a well paying job, so I’m good either way. Though I do need to work on my compulsive buying, especially when games go on sale. So many games I’ve bought and never played.
We’re basically at a point where, if it runs on the Xbox Ser.S, then it’ll run on the NS2. I’m sure it’ll be on NS2, rumours are already out there saying it will, but yeah, I wish they’d hurry up and officially confirm it.
