90% with PS5 and PC.
Hardly worth the time and effort for the other two switch 2 and Xbox.
I know it’s only physical sales.

So glad Nintendo went Nivdia which has DLSS so superior to AMDs FSR.

Even the PS5 and series x with games like ACS have foliage shimmer etc when moving and panning. That’s FSR etc.

The one exception is the PS5 Pro with ACS when PSSR got patched, no shimmer and visual perfection.

@Hwatt
Just downloading RE9 now on switch 2

If anyone interested DF have now done their switch 2 performance review.
Amazing
DLSS showing FSR how upscaling should be done. So glad Nintendo used Nivdia
More sharper and clean picture than series s
Fantastic version

Never mind the movie, though looking forward to it.
Where’s my new switch 2 3d Mario game.
9 years and counting in October.

Actually I would not mind a super Mario 3d universe, in the vain of the 3d World Series.

Well I am on gaming media a lot.
And have not seen one leak.
Guess I’m lucky and of course I have not been looking for it.

@ShooterMcGavin
Did wonder where the N64 era had gone.
And also some say the greatest Zelda of all time.

Late to Zelda but it was the change to 3d on the N64 LOZOT that got me hooked.
And the rest is history.

Favourite Zelda TOTK just ahead of BOTW.

I might be in the minority but want another one open world like this but not the same
Areas or totally different to BOTW and TOTK.

Mario kart world
Star Wars outlaws
All switch 2

I think Xbox studios are being very slow with the switch 2.

When you consider Ubisoft and Capcom, Xbox studios have been rubbish, switch 2 wise.

I think I’m the same as everyone else.
Switch 2 versions please 60FPS better resolution. Then I would buy.

Will always give massive credit to UBI for the switch 2 Star Wars outlaws port once it had a few patch’s.
The dam game is amazing on switch 2.
Even playing docked on a QD-OLED 65” you think how is this game doing this on switch.

I think the only game that might out do it is RE9 and Pragmata.

Will give this a miss as I think but I maybe wrong no widescreen version or resolution uptick, not for even one of the 5 versions?

They have had god knows how many years to make a new rayman.

Absolutely no chance Nintendo
My switch 2 needs better.

77 on meta that’s more disappointing than some of Xbox efforts over the last 2 years.

Way to go Nintendo with the switch 2, especially after the slight disappointment of Metroid Prime 4 and its issues.

Another reason my switch 2 will continue to gather dust in 2026.
Come on Nintendo let’s see these big AAA games you have hopefully been cooking up for us and releasing this year.
Such a shame about the single player lack of and adventure mode.

Already played most of them and anything new will be on my Pro, if I want it.

Wonder how many of the big console games like Indy, RE9 are 30fps only.

I think my expectations of the switch 2 need to lower until the big N let us know what big AAA games they are releasing later this year.

As I only play in docked mode, since MKW, DKB and MP4 there has been nothing new for me now and in the future currently.

Switch 2, I remember I’ve got one of them somewhere.great start ish MKW and DKB.

@Duncanballs
True, but they should be saying in February direct what they have for the rest of the year
Especially big AAA from Nintendo
Like Mario 3d or LM4.
They are lacking badly on that front.
Everyone else has announced already.

Would love to see a joint physical and digital sales per well for the UK.
That would show the true sales picture.

Not sure what the Nintendo physical to digital ratio is.

And this where we should be at.
One console all games.

Wow good Nvidia tie up and great Switch 2 tie in and special controller.
I was not expecting anything Xbox.
Was maybe a little something on PS, even if they mentioned something about PS5 Pro upgraded.

Switch and switch 2 186 hours
PS5 94

Now Xbox are not doing one this year but I know it will be close between Xbox and switch.

Oh well, goes to show Sony are not doing right nowadays.

In the first two years PS5 was first.
Years 3,4 and 5 it’s been Xbox or switch top.

I mean we are looking for Nov 2025
Switch 2 1:8 million
PS5 3.9 million

Take Japan out for the switch and it gets a lot worse.

Not surprised they need to announce some big AAA games from big N studios for 2026.
Maybe Luigi mansion 4 and a new Mario 3d platform for 2026 would help and create that big N game buzz and for the console outside of Japan.

We know what PS and Xbox are bringing nearly for the whole year, so why not Nintendo.

I used the voucher system a good few times with the switch.
It’s a shame they are going along with gold points which I used as well.
I wonder if the silver points will go in a years time as I have a massive collection of items purchased with the silver points.

And yes it’s all about tightening the purse strings on the money front.

Nintendo can thank Japan big time, where the console is selling massively. Without that market, the Switch 2 would have serious difficulties. Nintendo should lower the price and speed up the release of its big games.

For me being a multi console owner.
Ports of old games like CP2077 no point
Upgrades of old games TOTK no point finished them on the switch.
So that left me with MKW and DKB.

2026 so far no point.
We need the big new guns for 2026. And not tennis or Yoshi.
Up your game big N you have had 8 years to get ready.

Some positions well held by the big N.
Will be interesting to see how MKW does if the bundle deal with the console stops as per rumours.

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t have a big N in house major franchise AAA feeling that is not a switch 2 upgrade or remaster for 2026.

My hopes are pinned on LM4 as I think it will be 6 years since LM3.

I think for me it might be a disappointing switch 2 year, remembering I have the other consoles as well. So old games mean nothing to me.

@Wexter
Totally agree, let’s see if publishing works for them.
They will need to make amazing games to go up against the best third party games and of course Nintendo’s and Sonys best games.

Else they will just get low games sales and fail as a publisher.

That is a dodgy one for Nintendo, they live and breath exclusives on the their consoles.
That’s why I have a switch 2. For games like DKB etc. I play docked only.
If all of a sudden DKB showed up say 6 months later or even day one on my PS5 Pro I probably would just have the PS5 Pro.

I think this model only suits Xbox who are really mainly going to be a publisher now especially more in 2026.

However I would love a console that plays all games no matter who makes them.
One console to buy one eco system, one device in my set up. All games day one.

@StarCollector
So far SWO is my port of the Switch 2.

I don’t mind paying or a bit of greed as long as I get those big N top AAA.
Which I’m hoping for some 2026, but none really announced from their own studios.

They need to follow MKW and DKB with some more.

Merry Christmas all.
I’m sure there is going to be many more online with MKW after all the switch 2 presents 🎁 are opened. 🎄🎄🎄

There’s only one NEW switch 2 game worth it and of course Swtich 2 GOTY
Donkey Kong Bananza then MKW
And looking at next year’s line up from Nintendo for switch 2 only so far it could be still the best in 2026.

I’ve taken all upgrades from switch 1 to switch 2 out and all old games ports like star wars outlaws that are superior on other consoles.

MP4 and star wars outlaws
SMG2

Bethesda are way past thier best, Starfield saw to that.
So don’t expect anything special from them.

I really would not bother, was one of the biggest disappointments of the owning a series x.
Stay well clear N gang and save your money.

Star Wars outlaws without any doubt.
Cyberpunk didn’t do it that much for me graphics and overall smoothness wise even at 40fps. Something not right there, compared to SWO.
SWO just does it in all areas and sometimes I have to think is this really a switch 2 and it’s the only game so far that has done that.

For me Nintendo themselves need to step up next year for switch 2 graphics wise and beat SWO.
But I don’t think they will beat SWO as they will stick to 60fps and I hope they do stick to 60fps.

All in docked mode, 65” QD-OLED.

@timp29
Europe numbers have just gone up.
Now we spent some in Europe for November
The total opposite to USA.

PS5 over 2 million for November 2025
The switches just over half a million

Nintendo really have so much ground to make up in Europe. I think they seem to be losing ground since the switch one.

Nintendo really have so much ground to make up in Europe. I think they seem to be losing ground since the switch one.

I think gaming in general console wise has taken a bit of a dive.
Prices, rinse and repeat, generally folk not having as much money and keeping their old consoles for longer.

In the UK people used to keep cars about 8 years, recently that has gone up to 12 years average.

It’s not just the gaming world.

SWO is the best example of how switch 2 ports should be, anything less for me now is classed as sub par in my eyes and not a good port.

Goes to show what can be done.

Well done Mario karts and Donkey Kong.
Well Metroid isn’t in same league purchasing power wise as the MK and DK
Also the game hardly got the big Nintendo AAA reviews and score.
I’m enjoying it though.

This part of the industry as much as other parts is getting worse and worse.
Patches after release, yes it better have them late than never.
But come on games industry stop being such terrible providers of products and sort these issues out before releasing the games.

It’s like gaming is becoming so more money grabbing for and inferior quality of product.

The gaming industry has all 3 and it sucks.
Inflation
Shrink flation
Skimp flation.

Mmmmmm MKW beating Sonic Crossworlds.
I have both games, it is a tough one.

MKW has the nostalgia and characters and worlds a bit more for me and the karts seem more connected to the road.

However SCW is so more exciting and sort of what is coming up next and more graphical and faster. Also the DLC keeps coming with new tracks and characters, we get Pac-Man in January and new track.

I think MKW is the plodder in this case and SCW is the flash go getter which adds better mystery and fun and DLC.

I will give it to Sonic crossworlds if I had to choose, it seems newer and fresh instead of an enjoyable romp plod which MKW seems now.

I will be honest I’m not that overly impressed with the N last year of switch and now the switch 2. If it wasn’t for DKB it be very average in big N switch 2 world.

Please remember I own all consoles so third party is hard to please on my swtich 2.

Looking forward to the movie next year.

But what a stage to show the most desperately needed for me anyway a new Mario 3d platform game for switch 2 only.
9 years in October 2026 and counting.

Out of interest this 9 years the biggest gap between new Mario 3d platform game releases.
I know SMG 1 and 2 was 3 years. The golden age of game development.
SMG2 to Mario Odyssey 7 years.

It is so dam crazy.

@Bass_X0
It’s just what I would like and a preference.
Especially with wind waker after the Wii u port which was wide screen and 1080p and some quality of life improvements.

I did try it on switch 2 GameCube and even changed the controls, but it didn’t click for me.

Anyway back to MP4.

Well so far I’m 96 hours on the PlayStation that released yesterday.

PS will be third again in 2025 as they were in 2024.
They used to be first in the first two years of PS5 release but it’s all gone quiet in PS world since then.

So top will be very close between Xbox and Nintendo as was 2024.
