It is an inconvenience. AAA games will alway try to push hardware, and SSDs just happen to be one of the things that can do that.

Then devs better make a game that people don’t want to resell. Go look at used copies of Nintendo games. Heck, their games are so good, people will pay for them multiple times.

Last year they reported 25 million subscribers. Even if every single one of those was the $10 plan, that equates to $3 Billion. Seems like they are doing okay.

I have a 3070 ti and game pass, and I didn’t even try to play. I saw the FPS graphs.

Less than 10% of PS5 owners buy this. It is a screen with a controller that can only be used to play your PS5 with when you are at home for $199.

Selling out doesn’t mean anything. Let’s see some real sales figures.

It’s a great game. It’s not for people who want an insane challenge, but if that’s what they want, they can play Mario maker 2

Game dev companies got lazy. Instead of DLSS and FSR being really great tools for older GPUs to run newer games, it became a crutch for brand new $900 GPUs to run newer games.

Don’t get me wrong, DLSS and FSR are awesome and I use them to get games to run well at 4K with my 3070 Ti, it’s just a shame so many devs are abusing it.

Yawn… Waiting for Intel Battlemage to get 4080 performance for a realistic price.

This is the most crybaby thing to complain about. Reminds me of the reviews on Steam that are “I do not recommend” (this player has 3,432 hours logged)

Game Pass is awesome. Back when I was a kid, you rented a game for a weekend and it cost you like $8. Now for around that price you rent a hundred games for a month.

Game Pass is just streaming for video games. It works and lets me try out so many games that I would never have spend money on, but ended up liking a lot of them.

I mean, I wouldn’t upgrade from my 12 Pro Max, but the battery life alone makes it superior to all previous iterations. I wonder when we will hit a wall on transistor size. It’s gotta be close! Cross talk is already an issue.

New chip is a new Tegra by Nvidia, if rumors from 2 years ago are true. About 10X the old Tegra chip. So no, not PS 5 level, but decent.

Reminder it’s on gamepass!

Exactly. It’s like when you start an RPG game where you choose how many points to put into each category. If Nintendo has $300 and puts most into CPU/GPU and not as much into screen, then I’m gonna be super happy. People forget that when the OLED switch came out, the other components were cheaper to buy, making room in the budget for the OLED screen.

When components for the Switch 2 get discounted for Nintendo to buy, then they will add an OLED screen.

The people here really don’t understand Nintendo. They want the console to be as cheap as possible to get it to the most hands as possible and then make the real money on the games. Mom and dad see the price tag isn’t too bad and pull the trigger. Everything has a cost, including an OLED screen Vs LCD (presumably IPS).
