Nintendo be like:

[hippobaer]

"Why don't people want to spend $300 on a Nintendo Switch to then spend $60 more dollars to play Pokemon, offline, with bad graphics? I don't get it!"
"So what if the hardware in the Nintendo Switch came out in 2015!"

The hardware inside the Switch was the Nvidia Tegra chip that was specifically built for MOBILE devices
Anyone with a brain, which is 20,000,000+ players, knows this and knows it's a ripoff to spend almost $400 on outdated hardware, to play a objectively inferior game in all aspects except for the story. The same story that has been told 100 times for the last 25 years
This is why Pokemon looks like a PS2 game in 2024

This is why the Nintendo Switch OLED has only sold 8 million units in 2 years, while Palworld sold 20 million in 2 weeks
They had their chance with the Switch Refresh (OLED) an failed miserably
They are now living with their bad decisions

By that logic, would you not need to spend $2k+ for a PC that can run Palworld at 60fps+?

eh, why should we stoop down to trash on another game? i play both games and its annoying how everyone is 'taking sides'

[prudenut]

That last point is so weird…… you do realize you just compared sales of a physical ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game system compared to sales of a digital $30 game right? You might as well compare prius sales compared tricycle sales, wtf.

My PC is worth less than half that yet I can run Palworld at 60 FPS on max graphics. I think it has to do with optimizations of certain hardware. That's why people with top end rigs are seeing dips while people in the mid range can play perfectly fine. It's about PC having 1000s of different kinds of setups, endless amounts of setups and configurations that all need to be optimized for by the developers

that takes time

yeah that's part of the point. who would pay $400 to play on ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hardware to play on a outdated game when they can pay a fraction of that on a game that performs x10 better?
as far as i can tell, nobody

it's not trashing another game when the latest pokemon game literally looks like it has PS2 graphics. how is using my eyeballs and making a judgement "trashing another game"

[hippobaer]

Nintendo fans be like "Ugh I can't argue any of these points so I'm going to make up my own" lmao

to not compare it to ps2 graphics would mean to not compare the graphics at all. how to word the games graphics in a way that does so in a way that's approved by you? :)? i cannot wait for this response you cook up

nope just giving valid reasons as to why the nintendo switch oled only sold 8 million units in 2 years time

nobody with a brain wants to buy a console with 2015 hardware, that was marketed towards the mobile sector to begin with

do you disagree with that statement? weird how you can't argue that but instead just make up your own argument

there is no argument unless you make one up
anyone with eyeballs agrees the graphics of pokemon games these days is horrendous
that's not trash talking the game, that's using said eyeballs and giving a comparison to another console

I love my Switch and my computer. The Switch is actually super fun especially with friends. I like that they went back to being more like the Wii. What was that last hand held console they put out? The Wii U (ad to google it) now that was junk.
