Solution? ….. release a pro model 😂 I know internet historians have distorted history to say Switch isn’t a gen 9 console (it is) but you could easily make the argument that it’s the only gen 9 console, at this point XS/PS5 are just X1 pro/PS4 pro pro. |
This has been the case since Xbox One and Playstaion 4 generations. I’m not feeling “next generation” anymore. I’m not excited for what comes after Xbox Series and PS5. It is more of the same. We will just get noticeably better graphics. It is like playing your game after upgrading your PC.
having lived through the jumbs from NES to SNES to PS1 to PS2 to X360, the games were different from one gen to another. We were getting and playing games we couldn’t play before. Not only the way they look but how they play. You could argue that this started with X360/PS3 gen but the booming of online play changed the games and what is being played in a gaming console. Even controller are not advancing in a meaningful ways the last few generations. “New Generation” used to be an experience to live through. Now the only thing that give you the feeling of “new” is the unboxing of the console. The moment you turn it on is the moment you realize nothing has changed.
The list of best selling games or kost played games in the last 15 years just proves my point. GTA and Fortnight living this long is a proof that no new experiences have been introduced to move players from there.
