I suspect it won't be as much of an issue next gen, with Microsoft basically dropping out of the console market.


3rd party games will still want to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2, so it's still the same problem.


The Switch (even 2) is nowhere near the same class of performance as PlayStation or Xbox, games on them aren't comparable.


Yet those companies don’t necessarily compete for performance and comparaison, but instead for their own profit. If Nintendo makes profit from selling a device that runs a game in lower spec than Sony, they’re Happy with it. Computing devices aren’t driven by performance only.


Sure, but the point I want replying to was about the Switch 2 being able to make up for the loss of the Xbox as a PlayStation competitor. It can’t.


They are definitely doing something but it seems it’s going to be more PC-like. Like even supporting 3rd party stores.

I’m intrigued.
