What is this, a sheet made for dark mode users ?

Huh?

 

[Gonzito]

Is Saros okay?

 

[Radical_3d]

SW2 is going to be the baseline for a long time. Nintendo is too good of a market.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[daclynk]

DOOMED

 

[Saber]

Is using cringe terms now a trend?
Tomodachi still ruling, holy moly. If the SW2 continues this trend even with price increases, they are gonna be unbeatable. The only thing that will probably pump PS5 up is GTA6.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Love Indie and Switch 2. Good on them.

Is that official AI artwork of the game?

Is Saros okay?

 

[Thebonehead]

Is Saros okay?

 

[The_hunter]

Switch 2 is a beast.

 

[Buggy Loop]

What is this, a sheet made for dark mode users ?

Is there any other modes?

 

[Mayar]

Is Saros okay?

It's UK - their ranking has no global significance, until the results from Spain come in the exact picture will not be clear.

 

[Esppiral]

Switch 2 is a beast.

Is is piece of shit, but selling like a beast.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Is Saros okay?

What a drop

 

[PeteBull]

Indiana on switch2 smashing record while saros dead and burried

 

[Deerock71]

Is is piece of shit, but selling like a beast.

Salt levels are unreal.

Gaf is dissociated from reality, I was a lifelong PlayStation kid (with some PC) who went to full PC gaming in 2016 because the PS4 was underwhelming. I bought a PS5 at launch, and aside from Gran Turismo 7, Demon Souls, Death Stranding, and Spider-Man, its been collecting dust other than being a Blu-Ray player.

Meanwhile, I've probably put 300+ hours into my Switch 2 within the first 8 months of owning it, which is much more than my PS5 ever got. Shocking how having a good lineup of first party games mixed with fun hardware means much more to the average consumer.

Sony and Microsoft have both lost the plot. Nintendo haven't, just because technically illiterate morons dont understand that a $450 tablet isn't going to be as capable as a PS5, when even $1000+ machines arent capable of this, doesnt mean they did not make a great product. The Switch 2 is great, they just need to keep pumping out exclusives and I'd like to see some streaming apps on there too. Going forward im only bothering with my PC and Nintendo stuff. Sony can go fuck themselves unless they plan on drastically reversing course.

 

[Mr Moose]

They just wanted to use a pun, it's not even 1st.

 

[caligula13]

But but I was told for more than 20 years that 3rd party games just don't sell on Nintendo hardware and that it's a loosing game for developers so it is better for them to develop specific versions just for Nintendo hardware, versions that are for casuals

 

[willothedog]

Is Saros okay?

it's the top placed PS5 exclusive in that chart.

Talking about to be dissociated to the reality, please elaborate. Because Nintendo fans seems join to such club more than "GAF" when they speak about hardware specs.

 

[RoboFu]

Where's Saros? looking... looking... MK1, Mario galaxy.... Nintendo Switch sports.... oh there it is...

 

[Cakeboxer]

Making the top 8 is a clear sign of success!

 

[Karim]

You missed all the AAA games charted higher on ps5 ...

There's handhelds outperforming PS5 specs? You found proof?

Panther lake laptops are the closest thing to a portable current gen APU, and theyre still not close to PS5 performance on the GPU side. I have a lunar lake 258v and it is excellent in power efficiency but it doesnt come close.

 

[StereoVsn]

That's not bad performance for Indy. It's a good game and is actually fully on the card so good to see it found sales on S2.
