@TheJGG it seems like he was talking about before all that. The SNES era. I'm sure after Playstation became a huge seller it was different. But during that initial SNES era it seems like Sony and Nintendo were happy to play nice.
@Crockin I don't know. They keep saying the Switch is only half way through it's life cycle. I don't see them ruining a good 60+ million fanbase to bring out next gen just cause everyone else has. Especially since the base is still growing.
Monster Hunter Stories 2. Will that be Nintendo exclusive though. As far as I'm aware part 1 was only on the 3ds. So does this mean it will be a switch ONLY release?
@andyg1412 I'd say switch Plus has a more likely ring to it. Especially considering that the Super Mario 3D World+ game. Could be an interesting hint at the pro being called the + instead. MAYBE you can only play the super mario 3d world + ON the Switch PLUS. Oooooh... fuel for the fiiiiiiyAAAAAAH!!!!
@COVIDberry I gotta kind of agree with you. I'd rather have physical but the only time I purchase those AAA games on digital is if it's been years and the digital price is well below the physical. For instance. Bioshock collection was (I believe) $30+ physical on PS4 but $15 (maybe a little less) to get digitally. This is one of those times where, sure, I've gotta download it, but i'd rather wait a few extra hours as opposed to paying double. Cause technically, that's a whole other digital game.
@KingBowser come to Australia. I've been paying almost $500 or more sometimes for my consoles. Sometimes i'll wait for those nice deals that come with one or 2 games. The games (by that time) are generally priced at about $40 (but they're popular) and then the discount is usually down to about $450. So really that's a $370 console. How much fun is that? haha.
Don't know if anyone has said it already. Games here in Australia on the PS4 and Xbox START at $99 (generally that's just digital) and then if you into a store like, let's say best buy, you're paying MAYBE $79. That's a MAYBE! Gametraders Au (Or we prefer EB Games) generally sticks to that nice $99 price point for their physical games. If that increase is reflected here we're looking at paying OVER $100 for games. That's too much! I'd be more than happy to way. I got lucky getting BOTW for $74 on discount. And the only other indie game I have is at half price. Otherwise..Full price (or More) for my switch games. At least playstation has those online digital sales that make it worth it. When a digital game gets to $10 or lower i'm generally ALL IN! Sometimes even up to $15.
