      Pretty sure if Nintendo allowed their games to go to other consoles it would cripple their console market. Their consoles are notorious for being underpowered, so their big selling point is the exclusive games. Why would I get a Switch 2 when the cheapest Steam Deck is (probably) around the same price?

        Ah, you’re thinking about this too pragmatically. All they need to do is release it two weeks earlier on switch and add a Luigi donkey skin(he doesn’t even need to be playable). Do that, and people will pre-order everything, apparently. Gaming consumers are dumb.

          Did someone say “preorder?” Where do I sign up?? Is this the right queue? Literally standing here with my credit card, please just tell me

      We need to push to end console exclusivity. It’s bad for the consumer because it pushes more sales of a console you may not want, rather than the consoles competing on their own merit.

        Nobody but nerds on forums care. You’ll hear loud noises and they’ll continue to sell their shit in droves.

          I would be happy if they were only nerds on forums, remember twitter and YouTube drama when sony started port exclusives to pc, some pretty large YouTubers sucking on to these corporations with unimaginable vacuum

            With populations large enough you’ll always find idiots. None of that crap ever gains any real traction. The vast majority don’t give two fucks and are blissfully unaware.
