1. irrelevant points. We're talking about a console war and you're bring up components and saying PC won because of these components, what are you even talking about here? |
You literally lost this point. Here is the thing. You mentioned Radeon.
If it's such an "irrelevant point" then why bring up Radeon to start with?

2. Another point where you bring up something irrelevant to a console war, which is over anyway as every company other than Nintendo if focused on software. |
So... You misconstrue my statement and/or failed to read... Now you claim it's irrelevant? You aren't doing so well in this conversation.
You have also failed with point 2... As you have failed to read my comment in it's intended context.

3. I did a video on this a year and half ago where Phil Spencer literally said he's not focused on out consoling Sony and Nintendo and seeks to focus on software access expansion. he said the console market is dead which is why everything is an Xbox now. you want to argue with reality, be my guest. |
Software is where the money is.
All companies are focused on software, without software, consoles aren't profitable, they actually cost the platform holders money.
Software is why the PC won the console war.

4. Actually, the major gaming companies back then were producing handheld gaming consoles. SEGA, Neo Geo, Atari, and even apple released handhelds during the 6th generation. they all failed to put a dent it Nintendo's stronghold but they were in fact out there. Sony took a crack at it after dominated the home market in releasing the greatest DVD player of all time AKA the PS2. They sold 80 million, but moved barely any software compared to Nintendo who dwarfed them in both hardware and software sales with the DS(all of the PSPs top games were outsold by Nintendogs). Valve, Microsoft, and Sony still want a piece of that market, which is why the steamdeck, PS Portal, and the upcoming xbox handheld exist. Not to mention all these retro gaming emulation machine handhelds being released. |
You are literally agreeing with me here.
Did you not read my post?
None of this changes the fact that:
1) Nintendo has always dominated with handheld sales.
2) Companies didn't do a knee-jerk mass release of handhelds when the Nintendo DS sold as much as the Switch.

5. Good advice as I certainly don't want to end up like you. You and that other weirdo troll should hang out. You two would probably get along great. |
Consider this a formal warning. |
1. You're literally lying now. YOU mentioned radeon and other components and I pointed out bringing these up is irrelevant when we're talking about consoles
2. When in doubt, just accuse everyone of not understanding your point and claim you won. Great strategy, good luck with it!
3. You definitely lost this point. Funny how software is where the money is(I'm glad you understand this after I told you that already) but Nintendo not only continues to make hardware but they are wildly successful at selling it, unlike the competition. Microsoft only had one successful hardware platform in the 360, they've failed every other time so they bailed on it to be videogame netflix. Nothing wrong with this strategy BTW, they just don't do hardware anymore.
4. No I'm not agreeing with you, but this is the strategy you now have to employ to save face.
There was no Reason for Sony and Microsoft to make handhelds when the home console market was still viable during the time of the DS. the shift from home console gaming to mobile gaming happened during the pandemic. Nintendo pushed through 2020 because they had a mobile device and a killer app in Animal Crossing New Horizons. the competition was behind the times and had no killer apps to compete with ACNH. Not only was no one buying the competition's hardware, but Nintendo was doing gangbusters with the Switch. So here comes the SteamDeck, the PS Portal, the new Xbox Handheld and all the other mini emulation machines. I'm not sure why you keep talking about the competition not making handhelds in reaction to the DS as I never made such a claim.
5. .......And what do you plan on doing little buddy??
