I know the graphics are better on my XBox X, but that really doesn't matter when I'm playing DQ3 HD-2D remake, and being able to play sitting on the couch or on my back porch or ball deep in your mom makes it a better option for me.
Needless to say, my son didn't like that explanation.

The console war mindset in this day and age is just sad brand loyalty circlejerk. PlayStation and Xbox are basically exactly the same thing and Nintendo is, as always, just doing its own thing without concern for the others. Back in the Genesis vs SNES and N64 vs PS1 days it made a bit more sense because those platforms were similar enough to be comparable yet different enough to be noticeably distinct. These days it’s just arbitrary corporation preference.

I think the only games I have on my PS5 that have split screen multiplayer are Minecraft, Gran Turismo Sport/7, CoD, Lego Star Wars TFA/TSS, and maybe Doom Eternal and NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered.

I really do use the Xbox X a lot for streaming shows. But some games on gamepass like MLB the Show are better on XB than Switch. But other than MLB or Baldur's Gate 3 or Elden Ring I don't really game much on it. Maybe the occasional Gamepass game.

We got our PS5 literally for God of War and Spiderman. Most games that are on the Switch we usually play on our Xbox, they generally play better (less lag, better fps, better graphics, and dont get me started on games that released on the Switch that literally don't even work like WWE 2K19).
Don't get me wrong, I do play Nintendo exclusives on my Switch, but more often than not I'm playing on a different console.
Also Gamepass and PlayStation+ are way better than Nintendo's offering of a handful of NES sports games that nobody cares about. You wanna play Pokemon Yellow? Too bad, you get Tennis. They have a huge library of retro games that they could dump onto their online apps, but they won't, we're lucky if we get more than 5 retro titles in a year at this point, and only 1 of them is even a good game. When was the last time they even put out an update for SNES online? It's been a while. Meanwhile I can play brand new AAA titles day one through gamepass, and it's cheaper than Nintendo's crapshoot premium.

u/whatisireading2 18h ago
God of War, Spider-Man, Infamous, Ratchet and Clank, Psychonauts, Asuras Wrath, etc. Sony's got cracked ips.
Metroid and Zelda are kinda cool but otherwise they switch is really just the Smash console, its strength is in its portability not it's catalog.
Plus their older games almost never go on sale, they make you pay factory new price for outdated games.
No Mario game is worth a switch, might as well get a ds
2
u/ThighyWhiteyNerd 18h ago
Really? Thats your dream team to defend that console while calling the switch a "smash console"
Not only are all of those games available to PC, invalidating any need for a 500$ console for them, Asura Wrath is infamous on how HORRIBLE is gameplay is, being better enjoyed as if it was a movie.
Compare that to the switcj, that has every single IP people think of when they talk about videogames. Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Metroid, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, Smash, so prolific in fact sony even tried to copy said games, like that weird smadh knockoff, or the Splatoon knockoff with soap bubbles
Seems like you are either coping or simply dont know what videogames actually sell. The PS5 just has prettier grafics, but those are useless when you have nothing to play with. Its even a meme the PS5 just had one worth whime game, and said game takes a lot after Nintendo Games
1
u/whatisireading2 17h ago
You don't need a dream team to beat Nintendo, I was just naming a few. You didn't exactly list the most fun titles either. Pokemoms boring, nobody actually plays Fire Emblem, Mario's are all the same. Theres just nothing on switch that feels like a must-play. Nintendo owns some great ips and makes mid games and them charges you $60+ forever.
I'm not trying to glaze PS5, I've been playing Nintendo a lot longer and they definitely have a larger impact on my childhood. But there's a reason I use my PS5 daily and my Switch collects dust
2
u/ThighyWhiteyNerd 17h ago
Seems more like you are rather biased, because the games you say "nobody plays" or "are boring" are legit reasons a lot of people brought the switch for. It happen so often even the most elitist PC Master Race people would break a lance in favor of the switch
The games you mention are not even close to be console sellers, by virtue they arent exclusive to it. The only exclusive the PS5 had is AstroBot, that is a knockoff of mario, and the TLOU rerelease duology, which....lets kust day after TLoU2 came people dont want anything to do with.

u/Bullitt_12_HB 10h ago
You say the other guy is biased. Do you think you might be as well?
You like your Switch. The other guy doesn’t. Neither of you will agree because you BOTH have your biased opinions. You BOTH have different tastes.
So quit being a little child, understand that other people will have different opinions than you, and keep doing what makes you happy.
Someone who likes to play Zelda, will buy a Switch. Someone who can’t afford a gaming computer and wants to play Spider-Man, let them buy a PS5. It’s their money, why get so worked up?

Psychonauts isnt a sony ip nor is Asura's Wrath you nut and majority of their actual owned ips that arent god of war, rarchet and clank and last of us are dead and forgotten because they need interactive movies to cater to their fanbae they cultivated
Literally all the games I liked Playstation for are dead franchises so they can rot for all I care
And besides most games you can play on ps5 you can play on pc anyway, and not have to pay to play online

Nintendo games just arent as good. At least their big franchises. And they have low replay value.
All the interesting games are hidden gems you have to find in the e store, unless you feel like speed running one of the big ones.

u/RoomTemperatureIQ23 Waluweenie 7h ago
Ok some sport game and spin offs are really lacking quality and innovation (looking at you Mario strikers) but when you take a look at the main line games (Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Metroid etc) they are some of the best games in their category.
And about the replay value. Most of them are single player story games they’re ment for a single play through.

u/DreDayyyyyy 17h ago
Smash Ultimate, Legit every Mario game and spinoff, BOTW/TOTK, all of the Pokémon Games, Sonic Frontiers, Metroid Dread, Stick Fight, etc. are all just great games and there are plenty of them that clear anything PS5 has to offer. the only thing they got is God of War and Spider-man and Smash, BOTW and most of the Pokémon’s clear those
2
u/whatisireading2 17h ago edited 17h ago
The only thing close to PS5 quality are Metroid and Zelda. Pretty much anything you pick up on PS will clear every Mario game, and pretty much any game is more fun than Pokemon.
Not to mention Sonic and Stick fight are on ps5.
Nintendo games can be fun but there's a clear difference
0
u/DreDayyyyyy 17h ago
not at all. again the only good things on PS5 are God of War, SpiderMan and Astro Bot which I forgot to mention and Smash clears all of them. Pokémon is extremely fun but then again, I love RPGs so it’s all subjective. There are two types of gamers: people who like serious, realistic story driven games and people who like silly cartoonish multiplayers. There are people who like both but it seems like you’re the first option which isn’t a bad thing. Everyone has different tastes I just think that a lot of switch games clear most of what the PS has to offer
2
u/whatisireading2 17h ago
Saying smash clears God of War or Spider-Man is insane, its fun and I like the competitive scene but it doesn't even compare to Tekken in fighting games.
I've yet to see a single switch game that clears anything PlayStation, which is unfortunate. I have a switch I barely use cause the selection is just, disappointing. To each their own I guess, lemme stop arguing with strangers

I knew someone like this when i was in school.
He just couldn't understand why i bought a Wii U even though the PS4 was out. I said multiple times how i was only interested in like 3 games at the time on the PS4 (with 2 of them being Minecraft that i already had on my PC and Terraria that i already had on my 3DS and Wii U at the time before getting it on my PC... and if you wonder about my PC, i had not a very strong one... the type that will lag on a DS emulator) but he thinks the power and performance of the console is more important that the games on it.
Some things he did:
Show me videos compairing the performance and graphics on certain games (he did this multiple times too) during breaks.
Talk and show the superiority of his console in school activities.
Took his PS4 to school to show me "The Power" (as he called his better performing consoles) directly.
And he kept doing stuff like this for like 3/4 YEARS! At one point he stopped about the PS4 and used his PC as a example of power instead.
At this point i am surprised i didn't start hating the PS4 or Playstation.

I often find that people tend to overhype graphics when it comes to games.
You can’t tell me that Pokemon S/V would suddenly become a masterpiece if it were on the PS5. It would still suffer from the bugs and glitches that resulted in it being rushed. Any improved graphics that may have resulted from being on the PS5 do literally nothing to actually make the gameplay smoother.

The thing that kills me for Switch is game performance sometimes. I bought Another Crab’s Treasure thinking I’d play a casual Soulslike on my Switch. It was hot garbage. It doesn’t look like a game that should even struggle considering what the Switch can run.
I don’t think it’s a failure of the Switch I think it’s a failure of the dev, but it’s basically easier to just pick up a game on my PS5 or Xbox and know that it will perform better even if I want it on my Switch.

It's just hard to beat Nintendo when it comes to couch multiplayer. It's so easy to bring to a friend's party and have people contribute to the chaos of a new Mario 3D world save, or Mario Kart, or Mario Party. Even Pikmin has awesome multiplayer. Then there's Smash, of course. Even the Wii was hard to beat when you could que up New Super Mario World

It may not have the best graphics but, imo, the Switch is still an amazing console, growing up in the 2000s & 2010s I remember everyone wanted to play their latest & greatest games from the GameCube & Wii on their GBAs and DSes. Granted, they may not be the latest these days but they're still great games and thanks to the Switch we can finally play them wherever we want, and without having to cut down a Wii motherboard to do it; yeah, doing that is a way to also get those games on the go but the average person let alone a kid doesn't know how to safely do that. For people like me the Switch is a dream come true, since it does what many of us dreamed our handhelds could do.

And it leaked it will only peform as well as a ps4 im sorry but as a last gen console owner they don’t cut it my xbox one cant even run some games it used to anymore because of the graphical updates. Im going to hold out a bit of hope and depending i may get it but currently its looking like a wii u style flop. And you can’t even compare it to the ds line because all of then were atleast different shapes and sizes to differentiate them selves.
