I never said quick resume was a system seller. My point is that it isn’t one.

Quality has always been inconsistent. Early MCU had The Incredible Hulk and Thor 2, and Iron Man 2 and 3 were both mixed bags. Meanwhile, today we have high points like Loki and Guardians 3.

Someone might prefer Xbox-specific features like Quick Resume, the controller, free cloud saves, Play Anywhere, Smart Delivery, the UI, etc. MS also allows dev/pubs to sell keys outside of XBL/MS Store and you can pretty easily earn gift cards via MS Rewards, resulting in cheaper games.

I think it will probably remain a choice for a long time. They will always be able to push the graphics further at 30 fps, so most games will keep it as an option.

I’m one of the odd ones that really prefers certain games to run at 30fps over 60fps.

After I beat Remake I was talking to somebody that hadn’t played it yet, they said they didn’t care about spoilers at all, so I told them about how they were setting it up as a sequel instead of an actual remake, and they were just like, “no, I don’t think that’s what’s going on.”

I was just like, “. __ .”

I think it still kind of did. But Sephiroth showed up to throw a wrench into the original timeline. That’s why anytime remake started to deviate from the events of the original game, the whispers would show up to try and correct the course.

It’s like people skipped the entire last three hours of the game. It baffles me that anyone who played remake missed the fact that this is NOT just a retelling of the original story. 

It wasn’t that difficult to infer after the events of Remake alone. 

Yeah, we are talking two dimensions here worth of surface, not just a linear 33% increase (6 to 8 => 1/3 increase).

Tl/DR: Don’t ascribe long standing logistics practices to malicious intent without having very clear evidence that is the case. Correlation (multiple scarcity events in the past after launch) doesn’t imply causation (deliberate manipulation of production for PR purposes).

Someone that worked at another company suspecting something is not a fact, and again, its refuted by literally all the other evidence as well as common sense. They have at times simply misjudged or been unable to meet demand.

I think these rumors start because Nintendo at one point was the only company not selling their systems at a projected loss based on component cost. Many estimate that microsoft looses $200 per series X. But even if Nintendo was making a profit on systems it wouldn’t be that much per system making artificial scarcity…

“Fact”

Hasn’t the fact that Nintendo was one of the first game companies to pioneer false scarcity to make their products more appealing been known for like decades.

This is a little bit bigger than the 6-inch display you’ll find on a standard Switch console...

It’s also a little misleading to say that only the first model of wii has backwards compatibility. It may be technically true but RVL-001 was sold for 6 years(2006-2011) with backwards compatibilty and the RVL-101 and RVL-102 sold for only 2 and 1 years with the RVL-102 only being sold in Canada. The majority of wiis…

Second party franchises aren’t what I’m talking about, but you’re not wrong. I haven’t played them, but they were absolutely busted from what I’ve read.

“only the first version of the Wii” is a bit misleading, because 90% of Wiis sold were the “first” version. Only at the end of its life when they made a model that sold for like $100 did they strip out the gamecube fuctionality.

I get where the name idea came from, but Nintendo Super Switch just has a better ring to it.
