And more significantly, the Switch 2 is for kids. There’s no sizable youth market for the Steam Deck.

But out of all the handheld PCs, the Steam Deck is #1, so that should give you some idea about the sales on the others. 😉

I was looking at getting a Switch 2 MicroSD card for a gift and shit’s bonkers, yo.

I get they changed the standard for the Switch 2, but $300 for 1TB?

I say this as someone who loves their Steam Deck… Steam Deck sales are insignificant compared to consoles.

6 million in 3 years:

The Switch 2 has sold over 10 million, June to September. 3 months. There has been another 3 months since then.

If the disc exists, yes, but I’m talking about going to a store on launch day and not being able to find the big new release.

Yup!

If it goes all digital next generation I won’t be bothering. I didn’t leave gaming, gaming is leaving me.

Cool, cool, plenty of backlog to get through…

This is about physical sales, not digital.

For physical software, it’s super hard to buy it if stores aren’t stocking it.

The Xbox section doesn’t really exist at Target, Walmart, or Costco anymore, and it’s on the way out at Best Buy. Naturally that’s going to have an impact on sales.

Further, Microsoft doesn’t seem interested in physical sales anymore. I probably would have bought Avowed if it existed in meat-space, it doesn’t. I had a really hard time sourcing Indiana Jones and Outer Worlds 2.

On the hardware side, I already have this generations worth of hardware (PS5, XSX, Steam Deck), and I’m not interested in all the baggage on the Switch 2.

Plus, hardware prices are up.

So the surprise would be if sales hadn’t gone down.

Bought the game on the strength of the “Mouse Guard” inspired imagery.

Finished it tonight, it’s a delight and anyone complaining about “wokeness” clearly has not played the game. Demo is free guys, rest of it plays out just like that.

Read the plot summary of the play Equus linked above.

Like I say, this sounds like the gaming equivalent of Equus, which, when performed, involves a character supposed to be 17 doing exactly that.

The horses on stage are supposed to be “real” horses, but are performed by human actors. The male actor in these scenes is also typically nude.

NGL, it’s a HEAVY play to read and even heavier to watch, but it also won the 1975 Tony Award for best play…

I can see why some would shy away from it, but banning it is the sort of thing that will keep gaming from becoming a unique art form. 😟

“No weapons” Melee combat only.

And Infinite is likely the end, at least for me…

I still say Enclave was a great game. The reviewers at the time absolutely misunderstood it.

Most of the complaints from 2003 are things people love about the Souls games now…
