The switch is a hybrid council and handheld so it's doesn't count bro... Nice try lame 😔

Horizon Zero Dawn is also over 20 million. It is the highest selling Sony published game

God of War for PS4 reported 19.5 million in sales. This was in 2021. It's possible it has pushed past 20 million since then which would make it 3 games.

3:49 True. I've just commented some thing like this a few days ago. When someone was talking about the Switch being close the best console ever sold and how Nintendo can screw this up (great points by the way and highly agree) * Ahem * "Amazing the the Switch is doing in 8 years what the PS2 did in 12 and at no point Nintendo has given the system a decent price drop like Sony did for the PS2 year after year. FOR PETE SAKES I WISH NINTENDO WOULD MAKE A SWITCH DISCOUNT ALREADY!!!!" ..End quote.

Of course the war is over. SEGA turned third party years ago. 🙃

I guess hybrid consoles are just the new meta now

Can anyone tell me the name of the game he's playing in this video?

Next Xbox and PS should be hybrid consoles. They seem to have plans to do so. It would be awesome if it actually happens.

"it benefits them therefore it's good." no. consoles exclusives are not good for customers, and nintendo is holding back the quality of their games by releasing it on inferior hardware.

who's going to tell this dude that steam quietly won the console war

"Why yes my entire personality is worshiping a company that considers me a disposable number. How could you tell?"

Do you have a background in economics, marketing or something else?

I know this is kinda unrelated to the video, but since you mentioned quitting Genshin because of it's terrible story in the intro... I feel like Natlan in and of itself was my breaking point. And yes, this is because of both the design controversy and the VA strike. With all of these outside factors surrounding the game on top of Natlan just not feeling like Genshin... I'm no longer having fun with a game I once loved and that pains me to say it.

The Switch was assisted with a pandemic boost as with Animal Crossing. By how much? It is impossible to quantify. But to say it is a huge success/killer app ONLY because of the pandemic is cope.

I am again going to need people to think logically and not emotionally with mob think. We complain about the potential of girlbosses in GTA6 but have no problem with Bayonetta and Genshin Impact. We hate Dustborn and Concord for message politics but totally ignored it for Baldur's Gate 3 and Honkai Star Rail having a gender ambiguous lead character. Feminism and Message politics are serious problems for gaming, but people either need to be consistent with their outrage or just admit this isn't really a problem and it's all about making a quality game.

Yes, emulation will continue to get stronger, and it one day will become mainstream. It is ridiculously easy to mod a 3DS and have it play a wide variety of games well. I expect more and more devices will be able to emulate the Switch and its successor, and Nintendo will not be able to stop this. There are many good developers all over the world, and they can host emulators in countries that do not concern themselves with copyright laws in the West. People openly talk on social media about how to emulate consoles, and the emulators are easy to obtain without fear of malware. Nintendo cannot stop the tide, they will one day drown in good emulators. Our phones are powerful computers that can emulate low powered consoles like the Switch. Nintendo are vicious and delusional, and I expect within the next few years they will give up on this unreasonable, and illegal bullying.

honestly, good video. bringing up that YOU wouldnt like it if someone stole from you is a good choice. however, hypothetically if a large company were to do just that, what would be the chances of actually winning? is it just a case of whoever does that thing first or whoever registers it first (ie copyright or patents)? also...uhm...money difference, like i dont think most people would try to go after a company just because of the monitairy damages. but if a person did would they actually stand a chance you think? me? i honestly doubt it, as the company would only have to drag the case on until the person runs out of money. (also i didnt even realised you uploaded as you were still replying to my other comments, honestly thanks for that. shows your actually in it for the discusion and not just ragebait or whatever. it also shows your like...the only mature nintendo defender ive seen, so thanks for that.)

As an old guard I can tell you nintendo's been exploiting nostalgia to constantly farm a generation a whales, that's how boycotts never seem to affect them because they always have a hoard of younger fans ignorantly defending them. They've also demonstrated an Orwellian authoritarian mindset for decades, and it's only gotten more obvious with how they handle public relations regarding their games such as animal crossing and mario maker and smash bros. They've repeatedly shut down multiple charities over petty reasons and did so in vindictive ways.

Sure, Nintendo can control everything and do their own marketing, that's fine. But it's also fine if everyone decides not to support any streamer or KZbinr who participates in any promotion or tournaments by Nintendo. How long do you think Nintendo will last if everyone is aware that associating with them makes you a non-entity in the gaming community?

If Nintendo was smart they would have hired the makers of Palworld to help co develop a good pokemon game

Logically, I believe Switch emulation is wrong due to the fact that The Switch is still being sold. Anything before The Switch though... We need to preserve past gaming, Nintendo isn't making money on these older consoles and games for said consoles. Nintendo fighting emulation for consoles their not making profits on; along with suing anything that can be seen as competition makes Nintendo the most evil company as of right now. And with ignorant people that purchase Nintendo products cause it makes a good babysitter or diehard fanboys that believe Nintendo can do no wrong (including You tube content creators), Nintendo will continue to push anti-consumer practices and it will back fire on them in the long run.

What game are you playing

I think that some of these companies such as Nintendo want to "sell a service" while marketing it as a "product". I agree with Nintendo protecting their IP and assets, but that doesn't stop people that have purchased/stolen Nintendo's products and decided to do as they please with it. Legally, Nintendo can pursue them for redistribution of said IP's, but I believe they won't get much from the average modders pockets, so they aim their sights on the distributor's sites to halt the distribution. Although, at what point can we legally determine that what was altered is effectively a "new" product? That's why I believe they are going to court about this issue?

I'm not buying Nintendo stuff anymore. I'm putting my support behind indie developers and also Atari and Evercade.

Although I disagree with some aspects of how Nintendo functions, I’m still glad that this video was made with mediation in mind rather than trying to get people of one side or the other.

Great video, valid arguments, don't understand the dislikes lol Keep making content just like this, Don't let the haters get to you.

I'm going to need people to think about this logically and not apply mob think.

Nintendo is hypocritical. They scream and cry about people using one mechanic they have even if it's been changed enough to avoid copyright. But then Nintendo will turn around and blatantly steal things from others. Nearly the entire Pokemon franchise was stolen from SquareEnix's Dragon Quest. Nintendo only survives because people are still giving them money. People need to stop giving them money. You say NIntendo is just saying they don't want to copy and pirate their stuff, but what you are NOT seeing is that NIntendo is just as guilty of that exact same thing. Not only is the ENTIRE Pokemon game franchise copying Dragon Quest, but they also stole Tower Synchronization from Assassin's Creed and put it in Breath Of The Wild, they stole the animalistic protagonist and comically disproportioned villain from Crash Bandicoot, AND both the gem collection for world completion and the portals to other realms bits from Spyro and put all of this in Banjo-Kazooie. They stole the side scroller platform fighting game style from Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat and put it in Smash. Nintendo are nothing but hypocrites and you are both blind and dumb if you think otherwise. Pocket Pair didn't emulate and redistribute Pokemon, they made their own game that takes inspiration from Pokemon, Ark, Monster Hunter and others. I don't see Pokemon with a survival game aspect, I don't see Pokemon with base building, I don't see Pokemon with guns, no, I see Palworld. Also, I have looked into the patent, and it's the only avenue that Nintendo really has to try to attack Pocket Pair with. The real reason they want to go after Palworld is because of the likeness to Pokemon, but it is definitely different enough to where that claim can't stand in a litigation battle, so they had to find a way that they COULD get them. Just because you see what's on paper, doesn't mean that's the real reason they're doing it. What Nintendo is saying with this lawsuit is that NO ONE can make a creature collector system in their game ever again. Then they're going to keep going at it with every vague idea and game mechanic they can to where every other gaming company has nothing left to go on. But this is going to be their downfall, because SquareEnix and Ubisoft have both stated that if Nintendo successfully sues Pocket Pair for this, then they will be throwing their Patent Infringement Lawsuits at Nintendo. Both SquareEnix and Ubisoft have already gotten the patents authorized for the points they're going to hit Nintendo for and are watching this lawsuit like vultures. And Nintendo won't know what's coming for them until they get hit with the lawsuit papers. Not only that, but another, rather large and notable company has said they'd be financially backing Pocket Pair in this litigation battle. You might know a company by the name FromSoftware? You know, the creators of the Souls/Borne games? Yeah, they are fully under the mindset that game mechanics ARE to be used for inspiration. FromSoftware has no problem with games like Life Of P and Black Myth: Wukong existing and copying the style. To them, it means their game was good enough and memorable enough to get inspired by. It's a compliment to them. But Nintendo is under the mindset of "what's mine is mine, what's yours is mine, and it will always be mine". Also, you're one to give lectures about not pirating and stealing other companies things, I know for a fact in this video you stole from Capcom by using Breath Of Fire 3 music for your background. So maybe not have that in there if you're going to preach about taking things that belong to others. Oh, sorry, didn't think anyone would notice? I don't see you giving any credit to Capcom in your description. I didn't hear you verbalize any credit for it.

I think the idea that the Palworld law suit won't have ripple effects is not true. Though, for different reasons than you stated. To me, Palworld was proof that games in the creature collector genre could be successful even when not handled by Nintendo. if Nintendo wins the lawsuit it'll just be another reason for people and companies to not try their hand at experimenting with the genre and I think that would be a huge loss for the consumer. I say this knowing that there is no way these patents could be enforced outside of japan even if they won, but it really does feel like, with the timing of it all, Nintendo is just trying to bully a smaller company that they see as a potential threat to, what is essentially, a monopoly on the creature collector genre. As we all know competition breeds innovation, but it doesn't feel like Nintendo or The Pokémon Company want to compete fair and square. They just want to win regardless of the method. I love Nintendo's systems and games. but this is heartbreaking to see.

Please educate yourself before speaking on a topic and do not stand up for Nintendo's anti-consumer and anti-competitive tactics here. Look up "Miyamoto: I Wanted To Patent Jumping In Games" if you want their perspective on patents. I know Miyamoto said it in jest but the the thought seriously crossed his mind. If you are looking for a legal expert's viewpoint on the Palworld situation look up the "Legal Mindset" videos on the subject. Emulation is NOT piracy. Emulation is legal and piracy is not. Any law precedent set in Nintendo's favor could have rippling effects across the Tech Industry possibly turning it on its head. Every case against emulators have so far gone in favor of the defendant producing the emulator, see Sony vs. Bleem or Oracle vs. Google. Emulation is a corner stone technology of the Tech Industry and as any tool can be used for good or bad. On the topic of piracy please look up "Did Nintendo download a Mario ROM and sell it back to us?" by Eurogamer. Yes Nintendo themselves participated in piracy and sold a pirated ROM for their own Wii Virtual Console(which is emulation btw). On the topic of Smash tournaments, how many have they shutdown over the past 4 years? Look it up, many have stated that they will not be coming back. Is this how you treat some of your most avid fans? As for the individuals stating that they will never buy another Nintendo product again, well I am one and guess what I have a library of games and consoles stretching from the NES to the Switch(which will be my last). I own a library of first party titles that is almost complete. I was looking forward to Echos of Wisdom but they have crossed a line for me and are not getting one more cent from me. I will be sure that everyone within my gaming circle will also think twice before purchasing their games. Will it make a difference to Nintendo? Not likely but I personally have had enough.

damn, didn't know Palworld had so many similar designs

My hatred of Nintendo's legal department does not equal a love for the rest of the assholes business practices.

Wow your channel name dose not lie, this really is based! 😂

Smosh warned us about the Nintendo ninja’s 13 years ago

creative patents are garbage.. fck nintendo.

One thing I forgot to mention was instead of Nintendo paying money to host their games on someone else's platform, 3rd parties pay to host their games on their platform. This is more money they would lose if they made their games muti-platform and sunk their hardware business.

well said

Forgot handheld Gaming PCs. They're growing ever year from budget Retro handhelds (running Linux/Android) to almost "desktop replacement" pcs - Steam Deck, Legion Go, Asus Rog Ally and others..

So you telling me that xenoblade is woke?

@HebrewGamer100 ha you've namecalled everyone that's how we know your young now your tryna reverse it and say I've called you gay,ha not happening console war fan boy with your hive minded no argument name calling so ad hominem aren't ya,go on more insults no argument no intelligence rather play better side than enjoy games you ain't no gamer 🤣🤣 delete comments but you can't hide the truth you just a console tribal sheep.

Sony and Microsoft did the same thing Nintendo did with the N64: killed their momentum at its greatest point with hardware choices. PS3 was a pain to develop for, and the Xbone started with forced Kinect and online checks. Incredible. And now both of them have just completely to the ground to a halt in the console space with the current generation. Nintendo had learned that lesson already. And while Sony and MS have infinite money, Nintendo also has a couple flywheels to keep it moving: games and handheld sales, as you said. Sega had neither.

Keep crying Nintendo fanboy, Nintendo sucks

I was in grade school and Junior High during the heyday of the PS1 and N64 and kids my age were split between the consoles. In fact, all my friends had 64s while I played PS1 at relatives' houses. When the PS2 came out though it utterly dominated, Xbox and Gamecube were fighting for scraps. But that was just in my area and age group.

Short answer: Yes! There I saved everyone over 15 minutes.

Video game crash only happened in America, not the whole of the Western world! In many parts of Europe, the Sega Master System outsold the Nes and most played games on micro computers. Nintendo didn't revitalise gaming worldwide, just in the USA

Nothing but pure facts in this video and nothing but butt hurt fanboys in the comments. Perfect, subbed.

This is what you get when someone who isn't natively educated in videogames history, researched Wikipedia as a source, and uses blebs and numbers to craft a biased (inaccurate) narrative in 2024 about things that happened 20 and 30 years ago. 🤦‍♂️ I'm in my 40s and was there too. During much of the PS1 gen I was in HS and when N64 released I had a part-time job at Funcoland (a game store), a car and had spending money to buy games and sub to every magazine. And in 2003, due to some unbelievable luck, I was employed at Ziff Davis as a very young contributing editor at EGN Magazine, Gamenow and later PTOM.. I was entrenched in the daily numbers and trends at that time. In the West, no gaming companies had more money for advertising in the 90s and early 2000s than Nintendo - this angle simply doesn't work. I remember that time well as a young man Both the N64 and GameCube were HUGE flops. And the only reason Wii surpassed PS3 and XB360 was the MASSIVE price gulf. It's not "strange". At launch people where wanting $600-$800 (in 2006 money) for the PS3, and XB360 was Red Ring of Deathing at that time like a mofo. Wii was half the price, cheaper games and cashing a trend of motion controls. This video takes sales numbers and wraps it in a false narrative. I lost count how many things you just pulled outta ya butt. For example when you said Sony had no history in gaming prior to releasing PS1. Sony produced gaming software in the late 80s, and were involved in producing Japanese gaming PCs and supporting Nintendo hardware development. It also wasn't advertising that killed the dreamcast - it's initial launch was actually very successful! The console was safely already doomed (literally) before the first units shipped because Sega had run out of money to function. It was mismanagement and miscommunication in Sega US and Japan that had been systemic since the Sega Genesis 32X. PlayStation had less to do with Dreamcasts demise, than events that snowballed when Sega Japan launched the Saturn early without telling Sega US just weeks after they launch their own attachment. Sony dominated both those gens because Sega and Nintendo fundamentally made historically terrible decisions under bad management. Sony capitalized on superior product and Brilliant management from Ken Kutaragi! And it wasn't even close! Most people had a PS1 or PS2.. N64 and GameCube were the "golden eye" and "Zelda" machines people with extra cash bought for themselves as a secondary platform, or for their kids. This video is just SO FULL of inaccuracies. I could just go on and on...🤷‍♂️

Nintendo was never competition since PS1 & PS2 destroyed Nintendo consecutively Nintendork. Even OG XBOX outsold Nintendo Gamecube thats how horrible Nintendo were. PlayStation shitcanned Nintendo from the home console market. Thats why they went the gimmick route and had a roller coaster success ratio. Nintendo got booted from its territory and had to find a ‘blue ocean strategy’ as said by Iwata San to survive while PlayStation destroyed, Sega, Nintendo and now xbox while PlayStation still remains King. Their strategy is bcos PlayStation destroyed them from the home console market, their ‘blue ocean strategy’ is a survival mechanism from PlayStation. So they NEEDED to be effective otherwise Nintendo would’ve went the way of Sega and Xbox as they didnt form an effective strategy to deviate from PlayStation 😂 u a 🤡 Without PS these Nintendo would still be making Home consoles and destorying innovation in the industry with their childish over priced nostalgia bait horrendous games with their stupid ass catridges. Gaming would still be stuck in the 90s without PlayStation.

Nintendo fanboys are beyond delusional
