What are some pairings of systems in your view that go really well together, (past and present) and in what way?

Switch 2 and PC. As somebody who craves 60FPS and loves to emulate older titles, Switch 2 just doesn't cut it: There's no 60FPS Final Fantasy VII Remake, there's no 60FPS nor (high-quality) CRT shaders for the classic NSO library, etc. Meanwhile PC isn't easily portable, it's a hassel to set up at times, and doesn't run many Switch 2 exclusives. Essentially all of my gaming needs are covered with these two systems.

There were so many competing experiences in the seventh generation that it made sense to have a 360, Wii and PS3. But Wii and one of those other two in particular was an awesome combo. You could get the majority of third-party games that gen whether you had a PS3 or 360 and you could play Nintendo games and any third-party games that interested you on Wii.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 159 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million, then 161 million)

PS5: 116 million (was 105 million, then 115 million, then 122 million)

Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

A neo geo pocket color and an xbox one

With this combo you get a quality on the go experience in color and tv and sports



Total Championships: Nintendo - 4, Sony - 2, Atari - 1, Microsoft - 0, Sega - 0

Yeah while all three consoles that gen were awesome and worth having, either a Wii + 360 or a Wii + PS3 was a great combo, they were do different and each offered unique experiences.
