Are Mexico more MS, Sony, or Nintendo?

Back in the 90's only Nintendo had an official presence through a company called Gamela. It was pretty crappy because they set the prices and overall they didn't do a good job (except for Club Nintendo magazine which was great back then).

When Microsoft launched the 360 they pushed hard in this territory and changed the game. A lot of people became instant fans and the other companies where pushed (or finally realized the potential) and also started recognizing the market in distinct ways.

Regretfully there are no companies or associations that keep track and publish game sales so we have to guess. Personally, I'd think (based on observation alone) that it would be Switch, Xbox and PS.

I haven't gotten an Xbox since the OG days and haven't purchased a Nintendo product from a store since N64 (only a second hand DS and 3DS) but a lot of my friends have Switch. Sometimes we organize something like LAN parties at work and rent TVs so we can bring consoles and play and I have noticed that the majority of people are into Switch.,

Edit. I still doubt Stadia is going to make a dent here. Google is basically non existent. Pretty hard to get Google home and Chromecast for example as opposed to Alexas. I think they will need to do an excellent job at marketing to create brand awareness.

I was talking about the game itself. Does Stadia run the console version of the game that's typically a gen ahead, or does it run the last-gen PC version? If it's the PC version (rough equivalent to the X1/PS4 release), it's well worth the cost of the console to play the updated versions.

Fifa 23 new tech
PS5/Series XS/PC(finally upgraded), Stadia

Fifa 23 old tech
Previous gen consoles.

Really? I usually play it on PC and thought only 22 was behind feature wise.

I agree for the marketing. For the rest, Google isn't only Google Home and Chromecast but also:
- Android mobile (Stadia works also on Iphone)
- Android Tablets
- PC with Windows/Chrome/Edge
- More and more Smart TVs (TCL, LG, Samsung, Hisense, Philipps...)
- All Android TV devices (smart boxes)

There are so many compatible devices...but yeah they need to market it better a'd continue their Youtube integration et cetera...

Good to see they updated the PC release this quickly. Generally they wait until they cut off the previous platform before moving on. LOL

I never said they were the only products just that marketing is almost inexistant here.

Google has powerful viral tools though.

Aside Youtube integration, Google will soon integrate Stadia to Google search engine (some tests did appear lately with certains chrome users).

When someone will type "Cyberpunk" on Google, the play button of the Stadia, GFN or any cloud version will appear.

Microsoft is doing the same with bing but only with Xcloud button. No competition (Who is the bad guy ? )

Fifa 23 is the same version now and you get like ~200 fps, turns out EA was full of shit like always.

NBA 2K23 is still last gen version on PC though and people are still buying that
