The console wars were never something that benefited Nintendo. It quickly turned into obsessing over processing power & pushing for photorealism. Nintendo quietly won by ignoring thar part and doubling down on unique gameplay, art style, and appealing to a broader audience.

@Chris_Dring Wii definitely sold more than the Xbox 360 and PS3. DS outsold them easily too. Switch 1 outsold PS4, Xbox One as well.

@Chris_Dring @AtlusNFT So you mean the adapted, restructured and came back stronger than ever with switch and switch 2 lol. Id hardly call that ālosing the console warā we wouldnāt be talking about a Handheld hybrid ps6 if that was the case.

@Chris_Dring @AtlusNFT how's that losing when they still are in the console market space competing for gamers attention/time? Shifting priorities in your design philosophy is not "losing the console war"

@Chris_Dring @AtlusNFT What niche? How is āweāre gonna make more E for everyone gamesā tapping out? Do you know what tapping out is? Xbox lost the console war because they stopped prioritizing consoles AT ALL. Thatās losing. The Switch isnāt any different from the GameCube except also handheld.

@Chris_Dring @AtlusNFT Nintendo continues releasing consolesā¦.. somehow equals them shifting strategy to rephrase it so we donāt count their absurd sales dwarfing PlayStations to make PS look better. Got it. This shits so dumb

@Eldonchorizo_ @Chris_Dring 20 years ago the Wii and DS were doing incredibly well. They lost the lead for a moment in between, but otherwise have been on top for most of the past 20 years

@Chris_Dring Nintendo stopped chasing the power narrative after the Gamecube and pivoted to doing something different with the Wii and it worked

@Chris_Dring I don't understand how not chasing power means they tapped out.

@Chris_Dring Nintendo arguably hasnāt even been a combatant in the console wars this whole time, and itās honestly been the right call. Thereās a reason so many own either PlayStation OR XBOX⦠and a Nintendo console.

@Griggity The majority of PS consoles are for the casual players who just play F2P games and sports games

@getonthestiix That's not a gamer, that's a tourist. Real gamers appreciate games old and new, respect different genres even if they don't enjoy it. Tourists are following trends (best graphics) without truly appreciating the art that are video games.
