Their games almost never go on sale and the switch 2 has set off the $80 trend. Nintendo was already expensive, no reason to believe they aren’t going to keep themselves from being more expensive despite the billions.

NGL, I think it looks really unprofessional. Imagine “flower lawyers” putting a tulip in a cartoon suit and giving it a menacing expression, it would look just as dumb. Likewise, a dragon could make for a much classier design if approached in a different way.

Tbf, Microsoft is an American company that is probably looking for ways to address their own rising expenses. Japan is struggling economically as well, so I imagine Ninty & Sony are looking at international markets to offset their own struggles as well.

Their deliberate word choice of “upgrade” to supported operating system is mildly infuriating.

These words bring me back to the days of the OG iPad and the discourse surrounding that. Nobody knew what it was good for, and just saw it as an oversized iPhone. It kinda was, but it was unexpectedly fun to use and eventually became quite useful.

No it doesn’t understand the question. It collects a series of letters and words that are strung together in a particular order because that’s what you typed, then it sifts through a mass of collected data and to find the most common or likely string of letters and words that follow and spits them out.

Sony has a nice headset, but it’s more of a whatever than a serious evolution of the industry.

This sentiment exists because Meta sunk gargantuan losses into engineering progress that the burgeoning VR market couldn’t possibly have managed naturally. If you took meta and the quest 3 out of the VR picture entirely, I believe the psvr2 would still be a good bar for where high quality, affordable, modern VR would be. There would be no outstanding AAA VR meta exclusives, but who’s to say a few of those might not have been made anyway? On better hardware and non-exclusive, no less.

Furthermore, if all those people who opted for Quest 3 when choosing what to buy ended up on other platforms, the incentive for developers to develop VR features for their games wouldn’t be restricted to mobile only and on a terrible store front. I think we would have seen a lot more studios take the Resident Evil route and add VR modes to their games because the VR audience would be on platforms that would require less compromise, and it would be larger than it is now. I believe we would have had fewer, but much better games in VR by now.

Was probably self-defense then.

Daggerfall as well, right?

On the other hand, I think the VR gaming industry in general would be much healthier position today if it weren’t for Meta’s financial boat rocking.

Last I heard they’re actually doubling down. They were supposedly shifting away from games in a push towards more comprehensive Horizon Worlds integration. Like it will no longer be an app you launch but rather the environment you enter when donning the headset. I heard that a few weeks ago, though. It might be outdated already.
