Whatever helps you cope with the fact that we have a bunch of championships lol.

Sony gaming makes 3 to 4x much than Nintendo makes...  I mean if you were even attempting to be objective you would concede this fact.  

Im highly skeptical of that claim. I need to see proof. Ill concede it if its true

C'mon, this kind of console warring just poisons discussions, let's try to be mature about this.

Im sorry curl but what am i supposed to say to someone who says nintendo isnt even competing because they dont share a library? Or that the wii really didnt win 7th gen because the console was different? Its just being dismissive for no good reason. Seemed like bait to me honestly so i responded with "whatever"

"Wii didn't win Gen 7" is indeed just sour grapes from Sony fanatics, but it's best to just ignore such nonsense rather than response in kind.

I appreciate the suggestion. Im not trying to get into any trouble around here. Last thing i want to do is start a war

I don't think Nintendo is part of that whole console competition angle, Xbox 360 vs PS3 was pretty much the only thing people focused on, while Wii wasn't seen as winning that generation because it didn't run and play the same games.

PS and Xbox has been the competition, Nintendo has not been seen as being part of that competition. Only now with Xbox dropping of from consoles have some tried to make PS5 and Switch 2 competitors because PS5 is outselling Switch 2 in several markets. But Switch 2 doesn't play pretty much any of the games that dominate on PS5 looking at Circana player time, so it doesn't make sense to Switch 2 as replacing Xbox as a competitor because they don't share the same software library.

Whatever helps you cope with the fact that we have a bunch of championships lol.

Sephiran is in your camp lol. He's a Nintendo fan, and his "cope" is for Nintendo. He seems to think Sony may kick Nintendo's ass this generation and is pretty much saying "Hey, it's fine. They're not even competing directly" which is a reasonable opinion. Nintendo/Switch and Sony/Playstation remain very different and distinct. It shouldn't matter much that one of them is more successful than the other. They do "compete" but just not directly. If Switch 2 underperforms, PS5 wouldn't be the first, second, or third reason...

It's funny how much bullshit and paranoia posts that come from Nintendo fans get attributed to other fanbases (typically Sony's) and used for console warring.

Playstation dominates revenue, software، and engagement. They grossed $31 billion in the last fiscal year. But Nintendo dominated profitability for years (due to the unrivalled 1st party software, high hardware profits, mobile gaming, merchandise, licencing, etc all boosted by COVID for a while).

COVID pretty much buffed Nintendo and nerfed Sony.

Oh i see. Weird way to cope by saying wii didnt win 7th generation lol. I also dont see the need to cope when we just sold over 150 million consoles and won another championship though. Something seems off about all that.
