I can't remember the guy's name, he left a while ago, but he was claiming the Switch isn't going to outsell the ps1 because nobody wants one.... bad take.

I don’t know… Aren’t we long past bickering about those people?

Not bickering, laughing.  We have bad takes.  I have them at least once a week.

NS still rules.
PS5 regularly outselling XS, but not by a margin large enough to let Sony stop worrying about MS next moves. Even if MS, also because pressed by antitrust in many countries, could decide to prefer money to power and leave Activision heavyweights multiplat and on PS too, Sony should out of prudence consider them lost after the last titles already secured for PS5, and immediately start developing or acquiring alternatives or, when possible, boosting development of alternatives it already owns. Luckily the third option is viable for many Activision best sellers, but I fear countering the worst case of Call of Duty becoming XS and PC exclusive will require much more.

Supply has definitely improved for PS5 and Series X, and by extension for Switch, since they were also affected by the chip crunch to a lesser extent.
And yeah, sales are neck and neck in America. Most other regions have a preferred brand but America really is anyone's for the taking.

Oh you've ditched Yuri Kozukata as your avatar for the protagonist of the fatal frame remake that was shown in the latest direct. The remake is fatal frame 4 isn't it?

Yeah my current avatar is Ruka Minazuki from the Fatal Frame 4 remake. :)

The original Wii game is a favourite of mine, I really hope the remake does it justice and that it finally gets the recognition it deserves.

I thought he’ll would freeze over before we got Final Fantasy 7 on a Nintendo console.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Fatal frame  5 was decent, it was hard getting the platinum though. S+ on every stage on hard mode was a pain but worth it.

I enjoyed 5, but 4 is a much better game in my opinion. I hope we get a full fledged Fatal Frame 6 eventually, but in the meantime it's nice to see an awesome game that never got released outside Japan before reach a global audience.

Some people seriously thought Nintendo should turn it into an ios or Android device or just go full mobile. As if mobile and console gamers are all the same audience.

Never played 4, i played 1,2 & 3 on PS2 a long time ago and played 5 this year when it got re-released. From memory i think FF2 is the best, i remember in that game you play as twins.
