Indie games like Elden Ring, Marvel's Spider-Man, No Man's Sky, Skyrim and Moster Hunter Rise? For a Top10 this is is a good mix of indie games, AA games and AAA games. |
The point of the article was the top 10 games are almost all available on the switch. So why spend an extra 100+ dollars if you aren't going to play anything more demanding?
Let's face the facts. Handhelds are for short term play. That's why Sony could never grasp the market enough. Sure they had the hit in PSP at the time but it still got its' ass spanked by the DS. You know what most people I ran into that had PSP. Well it can emulate SNES games or whatever. I was like wow good job there playing pirated Nintendo software on your PSP. Sure they had some good games on PSP but when Vita came out it was like Sony had its head up its ass. Now they were telling you these are console experience games no pussy shit kiddy nintendo games yet they barely supported it and 3rd parties said fuck it. I feel like I'm in deja vu because now I have valve lovers (I like steam don't get me wrong I have more games on there that I probably won't be able to even play fully) saying oh this time its different.
Now the proof is in the damn pudding. Handheld market is where most major companies think they understand yet they have no clue. I see steam deck orders drying up within a year or two. I'll put their total sales at around 10-20 million which isn't bad but it isnt shit compared to any Nintendo handheld. I also don't even really consider the switch that much of handheld. Sure I play in handheld mode when I'm at home but I can't put the damn thing in my pocket. Those days are apparently over except if you buy an emulator handheld. I highly doubt you can put the steam deck in your pocket and I don't give a fuck about the dimensions because if you cant even put switch lite in there is no way in hell you can put that thing. So have fun walking around with a backpack or a carrying case. Handhelds are dead pretty much except for the emulator ones that are being released. GBA Micro failed but maybe they should make a Switch micro that I could actually put in my damn pocket.
Funny thing is the original Gameboy if you stuck it in your pocket it would stick out like a mf. So not many did but then the gameboy color came out, then the gba advance, gba sp, ds (was fat in your pocket but still fit), ds lite, 3DS, 3DS XL, etc... which all could fit in a pocket easily. I thought as we got more advanced that we could shrink it to pocket yet have decent processing power. Fast forward to current times and apparently nothing can fit in your pocket except a phone that plays shit games on shit controls. I'll excuse myself from this forum because obviously we are all fucked. We can't even figure out how to make a true handheld system anymore... I am a relic of the past. Enjoy your shit future. Now everyone wants to play RNG/Gatcha or whatever the fuck you call it games on their cellphones. As Chef Ramsay politely says... Fuck off and that isn't directed to you. That's directed to everyone.
