I think graphics still play a huge role other wise ps5 would have failed cause all of its games are on ps4, but the biggest problem mainly for xbox and but also effecting ps5 is switch still selling great for 400$ since 2020 that has never happened before, usually a nintendo handheld would be 100$ 150$ right now tops so that's hurting ps5/xbox cause it cost basically just as much, then you also have PC becoming huge and it makes sense. kids and parents are gonna choose pokemon and mario over what sony and Microsoft offers any day no matter how inferior and over priced the hardware is. |
It's not just Nintendo fans anymore, these modern day kids would rather play Roblox and Fortnite and Minecraft than some $200 million dollar graphics showcase on the traditional consoles. Smartphones are a big factor in what's happening I think whether or not people want to admit it.
Nintendo as you've admitted isn't really even in the market for "cheap" gamers, most of their sales are coming at high price points still ($350 Switch OLED being by far the most popular model).
