This gen seems to be shorter than the previous. I mean all 3 systems are already down in their 4th (!) year. I mean the switch is 8 years old, thats expected, but Xbox and Playstation? They are both past their peak. I think PS6 and Xbox 5 could come sooner than we think, especially when the Switch Up comes next year. There has to be some sort of reaction. "No competition arrogance" is what kicked Sony out of the Handheld race, so they should take Nintendo seriously. If the Switch and the Switch Up would have a 200 million + userbase there is absolutley no fucking way in hell they can simply call this a so called "no competitior" and move on. MS will be without a chance against the Switch anyway so they better get ready. Sony should stop doing high betrayl on their fanbase by porting to PC as it is a completly useless device in times of smartphones, tablets and consoles.
Nintendo should rerelease the Wii U to recoup some of their losses from 2013. Unpopular opinion, but if they did rerelease the Wii U, then Nintendo would have two systems, which is the same number of systems Xbox and Playstation has put out. That would really give Nintendo a competitive edge. I think they should consider doing this, with a Super Mario Odyssey and TotK port to Wii U. They should also rerelease the NES Classic Edition. They should also release the Nintendo Switch 3, trolling all the ppl who thought Nintendo Switch 2 was cming out when in reality Nintendo Switch v.2 (released in like 2019) was actually Switch 2, and we have to readjust the hardware figures. They should release the Nintendo GameStation. Xbox should release the Zbox. Sony should release the Sony Genesis. Sega should release the Sega Switch. Nintendo should release the WiiUStation. They should include a Bible with every WiiUStation b/c ppl will become so suicidal, depressed, and or paranoid/schizophrenic upon purchasing the WiiUStation that they'll need to turn to the Lord and savoir Jesus Christ. (I love Christ (messiah) Jesus in case you didn't know!) Nintendo should release Pokémon Breath of the Wild next week b/c M&L flopped so hard. Sony should release Concord Rebirth as a part II to the Concord remake trilogy they're releasing next month. Geoff Keliegh shoudl launch a company called Geoff Kelighey Games which sells a system called The Game Awards Console. It should provide all users with tools to illegally pirate God of War Ragnorak, Zelda Breath of the Wild, and...Xbox has no exclusives so idk wwhAt xbox game they'd want. Pokémon. Microsoft should ac quire gamefreak. Release Pokémon on Nintedno DS again. Cut costs, already hundreds of millions of DS units out in the wild. Wahooo!
i might edit this message throughout the day. I have a few more thoughts left to include.
