Not like the Switch userbase has many games to choose from this year. I don't know it's almost crazy to think that the PS4 has a lot more high profile games this year than the Switch, I mean Dead Cells released just a few weeks after God of War.

I don't know how and why this warrants a thread, would the PS4 userbase be more likely to buy God of War and Far Cry 5? or would they want a 2D platformer indie game? Hint: it's not the indie game.

The Switch has no games this year, that's a fact. All they have going for them is Smash to finish of the year and to hide themselves from having nothing to show their consumer base, otherwise, it's been a drought.

 

User Warned By ~ PwerlvlAmy

I wonder why adisababa has been warned. Is there anything offensive on that post that I'm missing?

PS: Sorry if it's against the rules asking that, but when I don't get why someone was warned/banned I don't learn anything about what I should avoid to do here.

If I had to guess, it's because it comes off as an attempt at damage controlling the news on this thread by boosting up the PS4 (pointing out their games coming out) while shitting on the Switch (saying the Switch has no games this year), which is the type of thing that instigates petty console war arguments.  It seems that when fans of other platforms see news like this, they get shaken up based on how they typically pile on these threads and try to play things down.

What Sony fans have to understand is that when a lot of Nintendo fans see this thread, even though the devs were comparing sales to the PS4 version, we're (at least I am) looking at it through the perspective that a non-casual 3rd party game is doing well on the Switch.  Why that matters is that for decades, Nintendo fans have always been told that 3rd parties don't sell well on the Switch and that the only games that sell well are exclusives, casual games, shovelware and baby games.  So when a 3rd party multiplat that appeals to core gamers sells well, regardless of whether they're indies or AAA titles, it gives a sense of positivity that things are going in the right direction for the Switch.
