Even if the PS4 is outselling the Switch with a two month head start, the Switch is still the big story of 2017. Not only because of it being its launch year, but it’s ability to overcome expectations and thrive in a console race where it’s all about power, AAA, 4K, and the like. Plus there were as many doubters, probably more back then, than optimists prior to the launch and even throughout the year. Now, it’s really debatable that the Switch’s first year lineup is among the best of all-time when it comes to launch years (or at least the first 12 months or so of a console’s life). You got a lineup of Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, ARMS, Pokken DX, Fire Emblem Warriors, and soon Xenoblade Chronicles 2, along with a great lineup of indies and surprising third party support of multiplats, ports, and even new games like Mario + Rabbids. Plus it has raised Nintendo’s value to its highest in years and now the expectations are raised with hopes for great years to come for the console that has even gained some attention in the mainstream media and outside of gaming. im not sure who you’re addressing the second sentence to so I’m not gonna comment on that. Forgive me it’s the internet and I’m not sure if that’s what you meant by. |
This sounds like an ad campaign, written by Donald Trump: "all the haters said that we would fail, but showed them with the best lineup of all-time!"
You even threw in the "two month head start," explicitly undermining the fact that the PS4 is still the 2017 sales leader.
Ask a Sony/MS fan about that lineup, and they don't care. Your choir is the Nintendo fanbase. Nintendo fans feel the same way about "stupid," shiny CoDs.
I just wish I could come on here and not have to read console warz fans spouting subjective opinions as facts, in an attempt to undermine competitors.
The fact of the matter is that this has been a great year for videogaming with no console being the "story of 2017." The industry's growth is the real story.
