@Anti-Matter PS5 is becoming irrelevant in Japan and the PS6 will do worse. Sony has lost the Japanese market and they have no one to blame but themselves.with Final Fantasy coming to the Switch 2 and other consoles the same day will continue to hurt the PS brand.
10k in two weeks is horrible. That's like saying poor people left on the Titanic saying, "At least the rich people made it out alive."
@electrolite77 Well, no. A little above. It's the DLSS, and VRR, plus the Switch 2 has 2G GB more of ram.
They said raw numbers, not counting the DLSS and VRR. Street Fighter 6 on the Switch 2 looks better than the Series S version. So does Cyberpunk, and WWE 2K. Psst. BTW, Cyberpunk, SF6 and WWE are based on the PS5 versions.
Oh for Pete's sake, if the Switch 2 can run Cyberpunk 2077, it can run all of those games. Can people stop with the "Can the Switch 2 run it?" Crap. The Switch 2 is a mini PS5, it may not have some of the specs, but it has DLSS, VRR and modern architecture that makes it capable of running ALL of these games.
Especially BG3, That isn't no technology pushing game. Give me a break.
Woohoo! This is awesome! MK8DX almost at 70, Mario Odyssey almost at 30, and TOTK almost at 22 million. Big sales. 153 million Switches sold. It'll finish with 162 million.
I know some people were disappointed with this direct, which is fine, but I liked it. Persona 3 Reload really got me in the feels and happy! I can't wait for October.
I am over the moon excited about MHS3 coming next year! The last one sold over 2.2 million, so that means the audience is growing and that makes me a happy girl.

Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Kart World Gets Back To Demolishing The Competition
@datamonkey That's true. I guess we'll have to wait and see what Sony does.

Incredible success for an incredible game.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Finally Has A Release Date
The ice age didn't last this long. Finally! A release date.
Re: Video: Uh Oh, Elden Ring On Switch 2 Has Issues In Handheld Mode
@Ralizah No. Elden Ring is poorly optimized. Cyberpunk and Split Fiction run extremely well. So, don't go by Elden Ring.
Re: Video: Uh Oh, Elden Ring On Switch 2 Has Issues In Handheld Mode
Sigh. No1, it has some issues on all systems. No2, it's not finished. No3, Bandai Namco sucks at porting to Switch 2. I hope this clears things up.
Re: Gallery: Get A Closer Look At Nintendo's Gamescom 2025 Booth
It looks like a fun time.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Offers Buttery Smooth Performance On Switch 2
Oh I cannot wait for this soon to be classic.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Zooms Onto Switch 2 This November
This Direct went hard. Sakurai was adorable as usual. Lots of info and modes. I can't wait.
Re: Kirby Air Riders' City Trial Mode Looks Just As Bonkers As We'd Hoped
This looks insanely fun. Sakurai does it again.
Re: Preview: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion - A Smart Evolution For Mech Fans, And A Good Early Test For Switch 2

Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct Revealed for Tomorrow, 19th August 2025
This is a pleasant surprise. And 45 minutes? There must be a ton of stuff in this. Damn, Nintendo is bringing the pain with this one.
Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
@electrolite77 So, the Switch 2 is a little bit above a Series S. I apologize for sounding a bit harsh. But, Switch 2 is more powerful than people realize.

Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
@Razzy Uh no. The Switch 2 is way above a PS4 and it's a little above a Series S. Lol More demanding than Cyberpunk? No they aren't.

Re: Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection Slinks Onto Switch This September

I'm getting the upgrade pack. I already have the Switch version.
Re: Metroid Prime 4, Elden Ring, Silksong All Playable At Nintendo's Gamescom Booth
Repeat after me. "Metroid Prime 4 will not be delayed." "Metroid Prime 4 will not be delayed."
I wonder when Team Cherry will show off Silksong? I would love to see more of Silksong, but not until Team Cherry is ready to show it.
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Switch 2 Trailer Showcases More New Mouthful Modes
The new content looks great. I can't wait to play it.

Re: Nintendo Was The Only One Making Steady Revenue On NES, Says Capcom Vet
That does explain why some publishers got upset with Nintendo, and it shows why devs and publishers by the numbers went to PS1.
Re: Japanese Variety Show Ranks Nation's Favourite Games, Mario & Animal Crossing Miss Top Spot
