MODERATORS
Honestly, Nintendo is in such a good position to pick up serious market share from Sony and Xbox. It's insane that just making actual games that aren't riddled with crap and not insta firing everyone who works for you is enough to be the clear front runner.
I wonder if, like Sega and Atari, there will be someone to swoop in and take market share here. I worry it's a Meta or someone with a terrible spyware product.
meanwhile Valve just building platform after platform that in long term will draw people into Steam
Yeah, I mean I'm waitlisted on both the machine and the frame. I love valve's hardware and ecosystem. It's not perfect of course, but it's infinitely better than what Xbox or playstation has going on
I think what makes everyone look so stupid isn't the hardware Valve is making, it's the translation layer they help improve and OS they forked. Proton allow Linux to play windows based game, SteamOS allow people to build their own console-like experience, FEX(used on steam frame) allow translation between x86 and ARM which mean pc gaming on mobile phone, and Lepton allow translation between android and linux. And all of those for free! Meanwhile every console maker is crawling back to their own cave.
Gonna still be steam.
I'm honestly astonished they haven't even attempted being decent yet
Unless Nintendo starts to make new kinds of games i don't see how they will pick up market share, everyone interested in a switch already has a switch.
They have solid "family" games but I don't see them making the next Arc Raiders or League, they have their segment and are good at selling products to it.
This might change with The Duskbloods. They have an actual capable piece of hardware to run things on now.
they make simple games , as its mostly for children, they will be fine as long as the children can convince thier parents to buy thier slop. as long as they can produce pokemon games they wont lose a cent.
