Switch is technology changing. Despite PS4's crazy sales, PS4/XB1 actually helped contribute to the downfall of consoles because they're both nothing more than low-end gaming PCs. Switch at the very least is something different for consoles, and something that PC can't replicate even despite all its power.
A portable is not a new concept, but a portable console is. Nintendo hasn't tried to push the high-end of power for a long time, so even if they had released another stationary console, I seriously doubt it would've been much stronger than Switch. Power isn't what is driving the sales though, otherwise both Switch and PS4 would be failures sales-wise.
As much as i see you as a nice dude, some stuff of what you say is just pure subjetive, and i dont see that as a bad thing, but remember that it is far from true. Well, i can agree with the rest (what you said about the switch) but the downfall of stationary consoles never started and isnt happening. If that were the case, the ps4 wouldnt have crazy numbers.

Stationary, handheld or both, it all depends on the software. The ps4 is doing excelent thanks to its software, and we all saw how well the switch is doing, thanks to its concept and games.

I did say regardless of PS4's crazy sales. It's got an HDD, APU, RAM, a PSU, and a case. It's a gaming laptop, just not in a portable form.

As for XB1, they straight up opened it to UWP in a desperate attempt to appeal to PC gamers.

We can agree on that.

We can agree on that.
people are saying consoles are low ending gaming pcs ever since the ps3/xbox 360 but they forget people who own consoles dont care lol they rather not deal with any wierd stuff and just click a game and play it, not wanting to deal with specs or setting up controllers and such. the ps4 by the end of this year will probably pass ps3 lifetime sales, if that is a downfaul i dont know what is, since consoles selling more than the predecessors is the oposite of downfal.

the only thing that happened was xbox selling like crap this gen, because of their announcements saying xbox online only and such not to mention the price being higher becuase of the kinnect since ps4 was actualy stronger tech lol, so yeah xbox shoot themselves on the foot this gen and the xbox one x is not doing anything for them either, they will probably limp their way to the end of this gen due to bad decisions before release.

Thing is, it doesn't matter that they don't care, the markets are still merging because they have a shared component pool. Console players claim they don't care about power and then complain about how weak Switch is. Obviously a bit of hypocrisy there. Regardless, if you're going to play on PC components with a PC-like OS, might as well not half-ass your build.

Software is what's keeping the sales rolling in for PS4, but exclusives are starting to fade. They always end up on PC, usually sooner rather than later.

I remember playing Diablo 3 when it first came out. My ex bought it, she got sick of it, gave me her account. I got bored of the game within the first 10 hours and stopped playing it.

I own Diablo 3 plus it's dlc after buying them with warcraft gold during the Christmas sales. I haven't gotten to play it for more than a few hours. However, those hours were a ton of fun, and id happily purchase Diablo 3 on cartridge so long as I could play it offline, and it came with its dlc and the necromancer class.

Infact, id daresay id prefer playing it on the Switch over my pc, simply because I can play it in handheld when I'm not feeling up to being sat at a desk.

Talk about a late reply. I'm sorry the facts are inconvenient for you, but nothing even comes close to PC in terms of gaming power, that's just how it is. If you're gonna waste your money on a console, might as well be one that has a unique portable design, something PC isn't capable of delivering. On every other point and feature, PC gaming > all. Even in software, because you're not gonna find a console with backward compatibility all the way to the DOS days, or a console that can emulate all other consoles.

Also the guy who thinks Hori produces better quality stuff than Nintendo should probably tread lightly around the word "delusional." Near as I can tell, you're a PS4 fanboy who gets real butthurt if it's not consistently mentioned as the "best" system. It'll always play second fiddle to PC, and Switch is in its own league since Sony decided to fail their way out of the portable market.

You are right nothing comes close to PC in terms of power absolutely, and that means literally nothing

ps4 fanboy? hahahaha I have every console in existence pretty much and yes hori made a better n64 controller than Nintendo neckbeard

I get to sit on my couch and play games instantly on my big screen tv you get to mess with troubleshooting and settings

I own my games physically you own nothing but digital bytes
yikes

why do I need BC? I have all the consoles? and all the games? all my consoles are modded with hdmi and sd/usb loaders its MUCH MUCH better than emulation, it's the real fucking deal and I'm not a pirate like PC gamers. PC elitist's live in this fantasy land where they think everyone wants too game on PC but can't I think it's hilarious. Between Sony and Nintendo the amount of games you miss is staggering and your talking about "all games come to PC" hahahah

PC is not a console, stop acting like every PC is a gaming PC, there are different levels of PC's most peoples PC's are weaker than PS4pro/XBX1, check steam stats. Power has never been the determining factor in sales, only once has the strongest console been the most successful sales wise which was the SNES HAHA.

"play second fiddle" I guess I'm a ps4 fanboy because I live in reality right? the ps4 is STILL pushing ps2 numbers at this point and your talking about playing second fiddle? TO WHO?

god of war 4
spiderman
death standing
Ghost of Tsushima
days gone

just off the top off my head for 2018

listen you can not like the many many ps4 exclusives has racked up over the last 4 years everyone is entitled to their awfull options but don't act they don't exist

I didn't even mention the Switch and all the exclusives it will get enjoy Pokemon on PC I guess?

you are a MINORITY in the real life gaming community, the whole industry revolves around CONSOLES, the last big budget AAA PC exclusive was Crysis in 2007 and that eventually came to consoles as well LOL what exclusives do you have that are not MMOS and RTS games? hahaha and please don't mention the thousands of garbage indie games that fill up steam

pc elitists make me sick

posted to you on my i7 gtx 1080

Glad you're not a total fanboy, but talking about the N64 controller in 2018...k.

Looks about as long as Nintendo's list of exclusives for any given year, what's so special?

You're the one always shitting on Switch, might as well shit on all the other consoles too, right?
