Nintendo sells their products in a vacuum, which is why they are so successful. Their profit margins and attach rates are so high BECAUSE of their model. Nintendo understands what their customers want and learned....and are continuing to learn their lessons.
I don't think they sell their stuff in a vacuum. There are too many switches in the wild on this planet and so many new nintendo fans( a little like me, didnt care for nintendo or buy there console like tht, but the swotch made me more of a fan) to call it a vacuum. The main thing is tht nintendo isn't spending as much money on there games loke sony and ms so there returns be better, there not turning tail on their games, there keeping the core of their og games franchise, and making new franchise tht add onto there og ips. On the other hand, u have sony and ms doing hard changes to the games franchise and spending way to much money on making games which heavily effect there return. Sony and ms need to go back to making AA games like they did during ps2,p3, and xbox 360 days
@@desertjane Having a lot of Switches out there doesn't dispute the vacuum, though.
@@NuiYabuko when I hear vacuum selling, i think selling in a tight community like souls games do. The switch brought its self alone brought millions of new comers to Nintendo. Im not gonna say they didn't used to sell there products in a vacuum, but now with the switch, they left tht vacuum and even with there games they been creating have been broaden up more to leave tht "vacuum". I just feel like with the switch, Nintendo decide to open up tht "vacuum selling" mentality to bring in more people and revenue. When the switch eclipse the sale of ps in japan when japan has manily been ps, also show how they left or trying to leave tht vacuum.
They were definitely selling in a "vacuum way" before the switch, but I also think the fact tht there are infinite 3rd party games on the switch like red dead and games like tht also shows how they are trying to leave tht vacuum or left already cause there putting those games on there system to reach those fans to buy there system to play there games on the go. To many people are just buying a switch just to play there fav 3rd party games on the go and not even caring to play the actual Nintendo games. I'm not gonna say Nintendo didnt have 3rd party games like tht, but they really never played nice with 3rd party like they have been with the whole switch life cycle
Blue ocean strategy, Nintendo lives by that and that's why they will always be successful.
@desertjane I hear you. When I say Nintendo sells in a vacuum, I mean they make sure with the great deals, you can only access those deals from their website. If they are going to do a sale through Wal mart, that sale will be exclusive through Wal Mart.
While they do have other vendors they sell through (which I can see why you have your point), their IPs are sold at a premium all the time. So much as so TOTK was their first 69.99 IP release, and it sold UNITS the first month.
Aside Micheal patcher who used to say very bad Nintendo takes, be disrespectful to iwata at one point after iwata's passing. Usually those who say this are the pc fanboys that wants consoles to die and have all of the console exclusives, especially Nintendo ones, on PC lol.
This is like comparing McDonalds being on every second street in a city to a 5 Star restaurant that has only one location. The level of qualities vary and have their own purposes.
Very poignant and well-thought-out response.
Nintendo hasn't gotten to the point where their AAA budget is out of control like the other 2. That's one big factor why they don't have to do what MS is doing.
This yes. That's part of the problem. Nintendo keeps their spending on their games in check. They don't need to sell 10m copies to make a profit. However, if they _do_ sell that many they make boatloads of money.
Nintendo prioritizes gameplay over graphics as well. Pushing graphics so much means more cost, and it can be argued that the added graphical fidelity isn't enough. On top of that, most AAA games that release nowadays are utterly broken.
There's also a caveat, though. Some games graphics just don't stack up. And are broken at release. Like Pokemon. That's not a money issue, though. They make more than enough money off of those games to put more effort into them. The problem is they rush out those games and Game Freak don't hire enough people to keep up. That is a situation where they _should_ increase the budget but don't.
@@JaidynReiman I remember people were surpirse when Miyamoto claimed that Zelda: Breath of the Wild had to sell over 2 million copies to turn a profit, considering some developers like Square-Enix said that only selling five million copies was a dissapointment.
In regards to Game Freak, I think part of the problem is due to them not having as many developers and them not having a lot of experience with console/HD development, Pokémon was for many years a handheld only series, while the Siwtch is a hybrid console, it's an HD one and it's game tend to be more in line with console experiences
@@JaidynReiman Games having issues or you not liking them doesn't mean devs didn't put in the effort. Could Gamers stop assuming the feelings and intentions of the whole dev team?
Sounds like market manipulation to me. Nice try Pachter, go back to the abyss with which you were banished to
On what Goblin world who said Nintendo Exclusive wasn't good for Nintendo.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - 60.58 million
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 44.79 million
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - 33.67 million
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 31.61 million
Super Mario Odyssey - 27.65 million
Pokemon Sword and Shield - 26.17 million
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - 24.36 million
Super Mario Party - 20.34 million
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - 20.28 million
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe - 17.20 million
And Tell me The Sales number of playstation and Xbox exclusive games and Gta's game.
😅
GTA sold 100 million. It's one of the highest selling games ever besides mincraft and tetris. So pretty much gta sells more than all Nintendo 1st party titles, which is beyond expected.
I guess we’ll find out in a couple weeks or so of Nintendo sales update on where these titles stand. I think super Mario Bros wonder would get closer to the top 10 mark with a couple overtakes, with legend of Zelda tears of the kingdom, overtaking super Mario party, and Pokémon scarlet and violet, either doing that, or narrowing the lead of sword and shield.
@@redcrimson1028 , That's the whole point!!!!
Gta is available in all platform.
Look at Mario and Pokemon, Biggest game franchise bigger than Gta and Call of duty, yet only available in One platform. 🤣
The last got been around since 3 consoles era. It didn’t do that on one system
They don't make sales on the exclusivity alone, these numbers prove nothing. The only thing exclusivity affects is console sales, that's it. The more platforms a game is on, the more copies get sold, period. Sure, it's good for Nintendo, but not good for the consumer as Nintendo is perfectly fine letting 10-15 fps games ship on it's super outdated hand held.
Nintendo: That sounds like a you problem.
Lol exactly
😂
If you keep complaining about the first party exclusives that another console has, just admit that you bought the wrong console.
If MS and Sony can't sell their exclusives on their own platforms in some satisfactory numbers, doesn't mean Nintendo can't. Lol, that's just such a stupid topic of discussion, thrown in the media just to make MS look better than they currently do.
That's it. Nintendo succeed because they have a unique and excellent reputation for their games and IPs. They succeed on this, even if their consoles occasionally flop. This is good, if everything was on everything it would mean everything was the same and it would be boring. The issue with the current PS5 and Xbox is that they are to similar.
The similarity is what is broken. MS are only bringing games to other platforms because the Xboxes have been increasingly less successful.
MS can’t compete in the Console market so they’re taken this approach and now Sony is showing they are having a hard time making great games and exclusive Nintendo has destroyed MS and Sony in the last 3 years in exclusive games to the Switch MS and Sony are not putting out great products this last generation
@@danielebowman "if everything was on everything it would mean everything was the same and it would be boring." This statement makes zero sense. All it would mean is that more people can spend money on nintendo games, and they can make more money lol.
I've been hearing people hating on the idea of exclusives for a while now, but I don't really understand the idea of getting rid of the idea of exclusives.
If every single game is on every system, then what's the point on even having more than one system on the market?
That's exactly it. Creating a single platform that games can be developed on makes it extremely easy to bottleneck "wrongthink" gamers and developers.
@@shinigamimiroku3723 You going there instead of one company likely getting a monopoly is all the wrong thinking.
It’s pros and cons, for example one pro for a consumer is that all the games they want can be on one device allowing them to save money where they otherwise would have to buy multiple game consoles.
Exactly
A lot of games would end up being ignored as well. There's a lot of games being released on steam, but no one ever hypes of steam games. If Steam was more selective about how many games they had per week, those games would have more breathing room to shine.
I think exclusives make the game industry more exciting. I don't care about the console wars but I think they are probably good for the industry because they make it more competitive.
Too much competition, and it kills of MEH franchises. Look at the indie games, a lot of them would never even get a chance to survive if they were not on a nintendo console!
Another example. Look at bayonetta and how Nintendo saved this game!
Nintendo has the #2, #3 and #4 best selling consoles of all time. So yeah, exclusives are great business.
It's called competition. If I have an exclusive product that sells and actually sees success, why would I give it to my competition? If my products aren't exclusive to me, why would people come to me? Lol that's stupid.
Exclusives are what sells the console at the end of the day. Some second and third Parties also help but its the games they make that they usually advertise to buy the system. I don't see Nintendo porting games to PC, rather I think it is more likely they might make games specifically for PC in the same vein as Super Mario Run or Animal Crossing Pocket camp.
If every game was available for every console, then we would only need one console. That isn't going to make games "better".
Hears the name Michael pactor
Me: oh not this guy again
Nintendno and playstation first party ip actually dell a lot. PlayStation budegts need to go down to be sustainable and nintendo budgets are good as they are
Sounds like a salty boy to me.
I remember I used to watch Patcher in the Wii U era. He said the Switch would be a failure... 😮
If Mario Kart was available every where it would probably be the best selling game of all time lol
right? that game is crazy popular
You were on point with this one OJ 💯👏🏾
Lol Nintendo has proprietary hardware design that the games depend on and are designed around. Of course, not all but unless every console has the exact same features and peripherals that mindset of no exclusives is silly.
Exactly. Like try playing RFA or NSWS on XB or PS without the game losing its purpose or having to buy a peripheral. I guess RFA uses a peripheral, but I think you understand what I mean.
@@NuiYabuko Like port warioware and clubhouse games everywhere. No, what's the point of having multiple consoles if they are all the same exact thing.
@@thommccarthy1139 I actually think MS and Sony having basically the same hardware is kind of disappointing. I'd like for hardware to be different to entice different ways to play, but I guess games are also too expensive to be able to make a specific version for every console. I don't own one, but when I heard about that back touchpanel or something of the Vita, that was quite exciting.
Nintendo and Playstation are household names. If you like sacrificing ownership for convenience and support the idea of letting flagship titles die behind a subscription service on a diluting brand, go buy an XBOX. Just because PR Phil and the dummies say something, doesn't mean you should take it as gospel. Great games sell consoles and no one gives a sh*t if someone made the jump to PC. Stay in the bubble you live in and leave others alone.
How many times does he have to be wrong before they take the “analyst” title from him? smh
Pachter... LOL.
Yeah mate there's no way Nintendo will give their franchises. They had to fight back so hard to be where they are now. Nintendo is not just a company to their customers and fans. It's a guaranty of quality that few can achieve.
Look at how Nintendo games and systems hold their value. Look at how Nintendo can "remaster" A game every 10 years and sell it for full price and as an anticipated release. They manage to achieve this because their games hold their value because Nintendo knows how to keep the games perceived value high. Nintendo would be foolish to make them available "everywhere".
Exactly this
Good video, OJ. And yeah, I think that the way Nintendo operates with exclusives is quite fine.
Micheal Pachter and Microsoft are playing the reverse psychology game😂😂😂😂😂 they just want to trick Nintendo just like they did Sony to put their great games on their platform lol😂
I love the "movie studios" analogy because that's literally how streaming worked, if you want to watch netflix original like squid gameor stranger things you have to subscribe to netflix, and if you want any disneyplus original you to give the mouse your money. And guessed what, those exclusive show are why people subbed to those streamer.
If movie publishers would also release Blu-ray players and the like, how likely would it be that you'd only be able to watch their movies on their players?
Exactly.
I just think the exclusives are hurting Xbox and Playstation financially. Nintendo has somehow found how to keep costs relatively low and still sell enough copies for a high profit margin.
What's happening with Xbox in particular sounds like Microsoft is getting more involved.
Sound bias because some services failed to manage that then what about Netflix, Disney+
Anyone who thinks any of this applies to Nintendo is very misguided. World's away from reality.
1 the 30% cut with no development costs is insanely profitable. 2 nintendo doesn't overspend on development the way other companies do. They go after gameplay over visuals. 3 Their games just sell better. They might have the best track record of any publisher. 16million copies of a game is normal for them. 4 every game they sold off their hardware would make 30% less, meaning they would need more sales to make the same profits.
Ahhh Michael Pachter... that's a name I've not heard in many years. Almost nostalgic.
This exclusive argument seems to be mainly propped up by Microsoft and their fans, to try and coerce Sony and Nintendo to follow their lead by making their games multiplatform. But they're doing that because hardware sales are low and Game Pass has plateaud, Sony and Nintendo especially are still managing fine with it.
Patcher is tone deaf, in my opinion. Especially with the theater comment. Yes, theaters don't do that, but the non-exclusive route has its problems: where one company can prevent certain films to honor contracts to be in certain theaters because of company/ studio influence and Hollywood politics. Fully doing away with a truthful exclusivity paves the way for backroom exclusivity or exclusive influence through time and what not.
The argument is a disingenuous argument to begin with. If you scale correctly, then you can keep your games exclusive because of these bloated budgets. Yeah, at some point you are gonna have to branch out because you're not bringing enough money in. Secondly, microsoft should not be an authority when it comes down to video game protocol. They are trying too hard to dictate the path. Below game should work when them themselves are not succeeding in that
Patcher. Gross. “Mr I Said” that the Switch is going to fail.
I've always viewed exclusives as a good thing for business and both a good and bad thing for consumers. Good for businesses as they draw people to a console and also allow for smaller companies to be funded and release games that otherwise may never see the light of day, bad for consumers as it can cut out a portion of gamers that may not want to buy a console for a single game (I want to play the new Indiana Jones but won't buy an Xbox for just that for example), and good for consumers as an exclusive is programmed purely for a single set of specs and can, in theory, create more polished games which is never a bad thing for gamers
I think exclusives are more good than bad, even though you made a valid point.
So we're gonna ignore the foundation of the industry just to be inclusive for everyone. Yeah, the gaming news cycle is in full copium timeline with these takes.
If nintendo put their games on other consoles that be it for them. No reason to buy a switch
From what I've seen in recent years, Xbox needs to expand their IPs to other platforms just to stay profitable. It would be good to see some Sony games to be on Xbox and Switch. But how many games for Xbox, PS5 and PC are excluded from Nintendo simply because of Nintendo console limitations? Nintendo does what Nintendo needs to do regardless of the industry's situations. And it's a business model that works. They are the market leader right now because of it. How much of this discussion about console exclusivity is relevant?
Crazy how some people can be so clueless on how Nintendo does business.
Xbox and PS don't have console exclusives selling 20 million in 6 months.
Metroid Prime Remaster would hurt, because people will start to think "I'll just wait for X game to come to PC" It's a slippery slope!
The moment Michael Pachter was named, i stopped taking the analysis seriously. The video is fine, but Pachter doesn't deserve the time or space in any type of media.
So basically Micheal Pachter is saying that for the last 27 years Playstation and xbox exclusives have been irrelevant this entire time.
Exclusivity is what sells consoles. That’s all I’m gonna say.
Microsoft wild for that comment lol
I buy the consoles that have games that I want to play. And I have never own an Xbox. Nuff said.
PS and Xbox who make games that can cost 100mil dollars or higher, yeah, makes sense that they would need to multiplat some series to make up the cost. Nintendo tends to make games at lower costs. If they can sell about 5mil units, for some games, it is enough to break even for others games they made more than expected. Take BotW, that was probably one of Nintendo's most expensive games but i bet they were hoping for a minimum of 10mil units sold to break even (could be less, who knows).
Didn't they say BotW needed 2 million copies sold to break even?
TOTK by itself made 1 billion dollars
It's funny how exclusive during ps1,2,3 and xbox, 1, 360 and all the other og nintendo literally built off exclusive and built empires. Explain how nintendo is still running strong of exclusive. The main reason exclusive now these days is a bad ideal and going open is better is because ms and sony are spending why to much on there exclusive to the point tht there return is nothing, but look at helldivers 2 and how much it cost and look at the return.
Exclusive are needed. Nobody wht to play the same stupid game with the same stupid ideal on a console. Exclusive push companies to come up with amazing things. I'll freaking quit gaming cause I majority play exclusive more then open games. When the companies manage their money better and manage their budget on games more, then u will see a change. I also find it funny when people think just because games come to other consoles, it's magically gonna make all its money back and never flop, yea ok😂😂😂
Pachter is a meme. 😂
Nintendo putting their games on other platforms will always be the worst thing they can do, whether it be remasters or mini tittles. Those are just small steps into drawing people away from purchasing Nintendo hardware, and would push people to buy other platforms while making Nintendo future hardware more obsolete and bolstering popularity of another platform. If i can play metroid remaster on pc, xbox, then they're is no point on buying Nintendo hardware moving forward.Other games will follow suit. We see what's happening to Sony with the ps5. The demand for it has dropped and so has sales. when helldivers 2 and last of us can sell more on pc, then you know Sony is in trouble. Following in Microsoft footsteps will be there downfall. It's a set up! lol. Console exclusives is what sells consoles, not putting your games on other platforms. What's the point of Nintendo making consoles if they're going to put games on pc etc? Yes i have emulators on my pc to play Nintendo games in high resolution but they doesn't mean i prefer to play on it.
Nintendo games are on pc anyways so I hardly doubt they do numbers that many people think it will, specially if the emulators optimize there games better on pc then Nintendo ever could in their lifetime
@@Yoshizuyuner Are you really saying Nintendo's devs couldn't optimise their games?
Without devs making the games there'd be nothing to emulate, so perhaps cut out that arrogance.
@@Yoshizuyuner that doesn't make any sense. Nintendo design their hardware around the intricacies of their software. Nintendo is gameplay over everything. A pc isn't going to give them that. It's not about shiny graphics with them. If you're talking about raw graphics power? Then yes, pc will be better, but pc hardware isn't design gameplay wise for how Nintendo wants gameplay to be utilized.
@@Yoshizuyuner yeah, Nintendo games on are on pc illegally smh lol
Exclusivity is not working for Sony, just see their profit numbers compared against Xbox. Sony is putting everything on PC, only thing left is a AAA single player game. The only company where it work is Nintendo, they have high profits and low costs. Sony is the next Sega.
PAckter is wontg about this model being wrong overall. MIcrosoft just FAILED and when u fail u need to go third party. It is that simple.
How can you be as old as you are and firmly believe "exclustivity" is a word?
Nintendo has been attacked since the GameCube days in how they run things.
Exclusives are the lifeblood of the games industry.
You nailed it and if his analysis didn’t have the nuance yours did congrats, you’re a better analysis than he is.
1st party success depends on the console success, those are the reason why people choose which console to own. XBox’s model is because their console wasn’t selling enough, hence their 1st party games weren’t selling enough. Nintendo’s strength is their exclusive IP, Sony is stronger in that area too.
However you brought up the development costs, and that’s exactly right. Games with a budget of a blockbuster movie need to sell a lot, so they need to cast a wider net. Nintendo games don’t reach that level of cost so they’re probably safe as exclusives. Idk if he did but it’d be strange if that didn’t work its way into the article he wrote, because that’s what it’s all about.
I will add this, I think his argument is more applicable to 3rd party games being exclusive. That is definitely limiting profitability and reach and is completely unnecessary. Atlas learned that with Persona and I think Square needs to learn that with Final Fantasy. I personally think the way to go is version exclusive content, think Soul Calibur 2 when each version had an exclusive fighter. His argument works infinitely better when talking about 3rd party exclusives, less nuance is needed (really only reason to do an exclusive game is if you have data the audience for the game is only on a single platform or you’re using another exclusive IP, like Mario + Rabbids)
PC fans just want everything on PC!
if they get rid of exclusives then no reason too get the system. that will end xbox and playstation consoles. nintendo more so should keep exlusives. with money being the issue could solve if just stop with all the waste like leave super power games too pc.
Yes exclusives is stupid 🤦🏾♂️
Phil Spencer is ruining Xbox. Xbox has not been able to make good exclusives since the 360 and 343 is ruining Halo. They can't manage they're studios.
This is aboslute BS because Pachter only believes this because Microsoft and Xbox are branching out. What he doesn't understand is why Xbox is taking this approach. Their games don't sell. Let's be honest. They don't sell like NIntendo and Sony's 1st party exclusives sell.
So they are forced to branch out and earn revenue and profit that way. When Nintendo stops selling 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 million copies of a single game then I'll listen to pachter. But that's not the case. Even if their games don't sell that high, most if not all of Nintendo's 1st party software is profitable.
MS can’t compete in the Console market so they’re taken this approach and now Sony is showing they are having a hard time making great games and exclusive Nintendo has destroyed MS and Sony in the last 3 years in exclusive games to the Switch MS and Sony are not putting out great products this present generation
Xbox is using the same gimmicks as Sony and that's why both are failing to keep up with Nintendo. If they just made good first party games and not try to nickel and dime people every chance they get they would'nt be doing so bad, that goes for Sony too. Nintendo isn't perfect but the developers and even the executives there have their priorites straight when it comes to game development. People play their first party games cause their often damn good and consistent in quaility too, if Micorosoft and Sony would put in the same effort their first party games would sell.
In 2023 Sony revenue was 30 billion, Xbox was 18 billion, and Nintendo was 12 billion. However, profit is what matters to these corporations
hi OJ
switch a best seller they big mad lol making hit pieces lmao
only reason i buy nintendo is for their exclusives...i stopped buying playstation and xbox BECAUSE they got no exclusives.. i now mostly game on nintendo and PC.. if nintendo go all digital i may just go exclusively PC like Steamdeck....just saying...so nintendo is walking a tightrope imo, if they stop physical AND have no exclusives im done w/them too..just saying...in an all digital era if it ever happens im going to Steamdeck, pirating, and emulation
Huh..?what..?lol
First party exclusives are important that's what you remember about the consoles that's why you buy the consoles. Nintendo is dependent on first party games. You must have a Nintendo console if you want to play Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Splatoon, Kirby, Xenoblade and much more. The fact that Microsoft is now going 3 party is especially good for Nintendo because they now have more third party games. Hi-Fi Rush may not be on Switch, but I'm sure it will be saved for Switch 2
They are the first business. You're the one that strayed away
. . . and you're still not satisfied. Technology will continue to grow and evolve.
. . . (You will continue to limit it)
Exclusives are loss leaders. They are not suposed ot make the MOST cash form exclusives. BUt they are to drive cvustomers to your platform, and once there, u get a cut of literally every ghame sold, that is the reaon. Microsoft just blew it is all, their excluvieres are non existant and very few.
Mike has been riding this N hate for 20 years. Nothing new here. Still Mad about the wii doing wtf well.
PS and Microsoft crying those jealous tears because they failed where Nintendo succeeded. Now I have even less reason to buy a Playstation or XBox since those exclusives will most likely wind up on a Nintendo system eventually anyways.
Because Nintendo sells
Yeah, it’s easy for Xbox to say that because they’re losing because they’re exclusive suck. I’m sorry no one wants to play Starfield.
It's only a broken model when you got like a few games that no one cares about. Xbox does not have any great games! Sony is slipping at having a quantity of games.
Microsoft doesn't have great games or exclusives worth it
Mario kart would be bigger than GTA if it was on everything
Lol
Probably, but I wouldn't want to see any Nintendo games on the competition platform, but I believe it would too.
It’s working for Nintendo and Sony lol 😂
Sony us buying exclusives the most this gen, whereas Nintendo is the only one that makes consistent great first party exclusives every year.
@@Mario123007 Nintendo has had a bunch of timed exclusives as well. Like, why does it even matter whether exclusives are in-house or bought?
@@NuiYabuko not as aggressive as Sony though. And no Nintendo license their ip and have third party devs to make games, like metroid dread was made by mercury steam, advance wars 1&2 reboot camp was made by way forward. But unusually there are some weirdos do care if a game is made in house or not smh.
Also if there wasn’t exclusivity maybe games would still be $60 👀
How does that logic work?
@@NuiYabuko the key word is “maybe” but it’s common sense. If there wasn’t exclusivity then sales would be 📈
For example - Spider-Man 2 would have sold much better.
@@Davey2016 And how would that keep games from becoming more expensive? You are aware you'd need people to port it, playtest it etc.? That adds to the budget.
PlayStation needs to sell their games to PC because they realized that they hit a cap in their userbase. Their data shows that the max a top-selling game can get in the PS4 generation is around 25 million. Thats not good enough when the PS4 sold over 100 million. Whereas Nintendo's cap is around 60 million for a top-selling game.
I support the end of exclusivity. I would love to play everything on my PC. I only own a switch cause i want their games
Nintendo could at least let us PS/X-Box players play NES/SNES games on all systems.
No.
No.
Exclusivity has nothing to do with game sales at all, it only limits them. The only thing exclusivity does is boost console sales at the cost of game sales. Imagine the amount of money Nintendo can save not suing everyone for fixing all the frame rate issues and bugs in their games and instead just sell the games on PC lol.
You thinking they're breaking the bank to defend their product is laughable. Exclusivity allows for a more focus vision. Just the reality of the vast audience on Playstation and Xbox predominantly play the same 6 titles a year at high volume while titles like Pentiment or Days Gone barely reach a hold in that market.
Because we all know how PC games are completely devoid of issues.
@@DankMemeCenterX Tears of the Kingdom sold less than Palworld, so did Pokemon. I'm sure if both Tears and Pokemon were on PC, that wouldn't be he case whatsoever. Try again.
@@NuiYabuko They get fixed, unlike on the Switch. Scarlet and Violet being released in the state they were made me stop buying any games from Nintendo, since you can't even trust them to put out mainline titles that don't run like crap, that the community fixed on PC in less than 2 weeks lol.
@@Masterom2000x I'm talking about actual PC releases. At least try to keep up. DD2 had major issues apparently.
Michael Patcher was wrong like 85% of the time. Not sure why anyone ever took this dude serious.
