Hmm, as a console gamer, I don't think that as a major threat. Steam is thriving but I don't see it replacing consoles, the vehicles of play are just very different. However anecdotally I do know that most of my friends are already a bit iffy about investing in multiple consoles. Switch First Party carries more weight than Sonys, so I do think if quality 3rd party content was day and date on Nintendo's platform. A lot of them would be questioning whether they need to have a playstation for the few big exclusives that won't arrive on Switch (God of War, Spiderman etc)... In some places like Japan that applies even more so. |
Many of my nephews friends have abandoned consoles for PC. They get free online play plus you can play everything and do so many things on PC, key board and mouse is so much better for shooters as well, games are cheaper and emulation. you might not think it's a major threat but third party's are now thriving on PC thats why even sony releasing games for PC, it just shows how big the market is getting. People are not gonna leave the playstation eco system unless Nintendo offers something much better. I honestly would not be surprised to see Nintendo releasing games for PC.
