Thoughts ?

 

[Ol'Scratch]

No.

 

[Danjin44]

I LOVE my Switch but my answer is no, but I also don't want to only own PS4 because I will miss out on great exclusives from Nintendo like Astral Chain.

 

[DiscoJer]

Sure. I don't really play the latest AAA games. My Xbone mostly gathers dust

 

[Alexios]

Probably, it's the only console I still consider buying to have alongside my PC whenever a cool game is shown, from BOTW early on to Astrail Chain as a recent one. But then I remember I can't even buy all the great PC games to also spend on another system and its own games, lol. If only.

 

[Mista]

Ummm no.

 

[888]

Not a chance in hell.

 

[Fbh]

Not really, no.
Most of my favorite games this gen and most of my most anticipated upcoming games aren't on Switch

 

[InterMusketeer]

Only if I seriously cut back on the amount of time I want to play games.

 

[Punished Miku]

I have a job, so I don't have to worry about that.

It's pretty much the IDEAL 2nd console. They have a ton of stuff you can't get anywhere else on it. I can't imagine ever skipping Nintendo's stuff. But obviously lots of other games run better on PS4 that I enjoy as well.

I wouldn't be satisfied with any console as my only console. I am extremely used to having two consoles at least, plus portable consoles. For several years. If you told me PS4 was my only console, I would also be EXTREMELY unsatisfied.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

No. I love mine as I love a lot of Nintendo exclusives. But they aren’t my favorite and I don’t like enough of them to stay busy with how much gaming I do.

If I could only have one platform a generation it would be PlayStation as their exclusives are my favorite and I play a lot t multiplats AAAs and indies.

 

[Azelover]

I would be.

For years I only had a DS, and I was very satisfied.

Now I have a 3DS and PS4, and I'm enjoying both. But I would totally be satisfied with a Switch. I prefer portables.

 

[F0rneus]

For me personally, no.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

If I was a portable player and solely cared about Nintendo first party games, for sure.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

No, you'd be stuck retreading the same franchises over, and over, and over again while getting virtually nothing else from larger outside developers and publishers.

 

[Animagic]

Yeah. I have an Xbox too, but I rarely use it to play games anymore.

 

[Deleted member 740922]

Definitely not.

 

[Threeshotgamer]

I love my switch but absolutely not

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

No.

 

[Mista]

Many of my favourite franchises aren’t Nintendo so that’s why I said no. Also I’m not the type of a man that loves missing out on many great experiences just because I wanna own one platform

 

[shenmue mugen]

No. But I woudn't be satisfied owning only a PS4 or XONE either.

 

[Xenon]

Where is my poll with the hell no option?

My answer would be no. I have one and barely touch it.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I still want and need to buy a switch lol. But I couldn't live without the Xbox one. I love halo far too much and actually enjoy some of the other exclusives to the system. SSO and Ori were worth the price of entry. That and I try and get in a few games of CE matchmaking everyday on the master chief collection.

 

[Tesseract]

i would kill myself if i didn't have a pc

 

[GametimeUK]

I hate to be this guy, but what about PC? If it was only consoles my priority would be...

1. PS4
2. Xbox One
3. Switch

The Switch is the one I'd hate to own as a sole gaming device. I would be ok with an Xbox, but still massively disappointed. A PS4 could work and has worked.

If we are including PC my priority would be...

1. PC + PS4
2. PC + Switch
3. PC + Xbox One

Nintendo just can't stand solo for me and haven't since the Snes days as far as I'm concerned. They make great secondary consoles.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

No I'd be missing out on so much.

 

[VertigoOA]

That sounds horrible. It still only has Zelda as far as my interests go.

 

[spandexmonkey]

Thats how I'm doing things now. My PC gets more play but the only console I touch is my switch.

 

[Spukc]

i would have said no

but somehow i always go back to the switch.

modern in app shit dlc season pass crap. it's all less on the switch.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Pff hahaha no. The last Nintendo console that was satisfying as my ONLY console would've been the SNES. That released almost 30 years ago. Every Nintendo to some since then has been the secondary console to the others.

 

[kyubajin]

No, because Sony exclusives.

 

[kunonabi]

No, but I'm not buying any more hardware from Microsoft or Sony so it will have to do.

 

[Manus]

No. The only solo console I would be happy to own would be my PC.

 

[iamvin22]

Hell no.

 

[cryogenic7]

NOPE /EOT

 

[ShirAhava]

I'm PC only but I'm planning on getting a Switch since Vita is finished

Xbox is redundant since I have a PC

Don't care about PS4 exclusives at all...bunch of really dull games this gen things I'd play once and forget about...between that and the censorship and VR focus they have completely lost me

I don't think the Switch lineup is great or anything but its pretty much the only choice for me

 

[Vayne]

I have a Switch and I'm glad I have it cuz it brings me very good games but honestly, I use it more as a complement of my PS4.

 

[StormCell]

Maybe.

I wasn't satisfied with Wii or Wii U, so at various times I owned a 360 and then later on a PS3. And I've always gamed on PC too.

But Switch offers a lot of older games and some new games that can be played anywhere. It's an intersection of gaming.

PlayStation offers content not found anywhere else too. I'm not going to find the latest sports titles on Switch, nor will i will find CoD, Borderlands 3, GTA, and such on Switch.

But I don't really play those types of games a lot. The AAA market is losing my attention. I'm not really their audience. I prefer the games they basically stopped making.

Meanwhile, Nintendo has got my attention. They're making games I want. Third parties are porting what they can to switch, which happens to be some older games I'm interested in. It works for me. I'm happy with it.

I do play on PS4, but if Switch was all I had, I think I would be content. I can't say that about PS4 though... I would have said it about PS2 though

 

[Closer]

Yes, because PC + Nintendo is the sweet spot for me.

 

[Solo Act]

Would and am. I have the older Nintendo systems in a closet, but Switch is my only current-gen gaming device.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Thoughts ?

No. I can see the fun others have with it but PS4 is my go to. My son is 12 has a Switch and so do I but we are not drawn to their ips and never play it. Funny enough right before I saw this thread I told him "I hope you plan on playing your switch soon because I paid 400 for it!!!"

 

[BlackTron]

Only console? It's essentially what I'm doing now, I haven't touched any other console in about a year (although I own way more than I should).

Only game playing machine? Hell no. PC gets the most of time usually, but I'm not sure if it counts as a console in this case?

 

[Barnabot]

Ignorance would be a bliss in case I didn't know about any other console or even PC. But my cramped hands would constantly keep me reminded of finding a better controller with better ergonomics.

 

[Lukin1978]

Not a chance miss out on games from naughty dog never.

 

[Thurible]

Does PC count? I usually solo nintendo and some steam.

 

[Shiken]

Considering that I play on my Switch 80% of the time, yes I could easily be satisfied if all I had was a Switch. I buy all multiplats on Switch because the portability yields me an extra 4 hours a day to play them. While there are games on my PS4 Pro that do not come out on Switch, there are plenty of games that interest me that are on Switch. In fact, I find it hard to make time for PS4 games with my Switch backlog as it is, and the rest of the year has already been claimed by 8 Switch exclusives I have already pre ordered (thats not even counting multiplats). There are still games on PS4 that I will make time for such as God of War, Horizon, Persona 5, REmake 2, and DMCV but as time goes on I find myself less motivated to.

What people need to realize is that not only is Switch a viable primary/only console, but many already treat it as such. All gamers have different needs, and there are just as many that prefer the portability of the system with the benefits of being a hybrid as there are those who only game on a TV. Those that deny that fact either want Nintendo to fail anyway and are bitter about their success, or they are only looking at their own personal preferences and wrongfully jump to the conclusion that most people must feel the same way.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Absolutely NOT.

For me, Switch is currently my tertiary console and is only used for exclusives. After 2019 concludes, it could become my secondary console but even then, it will never ever be my primary console because I would never ever play any multi-platform games on it or play it undocked. Just no way.

Would be fine with Switch being my secondary console but as a primary console or only console, fuck no.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Despite being a huge Nintendo fanboy, I only recently purchased a Switch because games for it are stupid expensive in Brazil. Absolutely fantastic hardware, it's downright hypnotic how great it feels to play games in it. I think Nintendo makes the best games in the business by a comfortable margin and it's been bad not playing Odyssey in particular up until now. I think they're hitting a very good stride with their games, their output since the Wii U is mostly pristine.

Having said all that, never go Nintendo only. It's a terrible idea. At least pick one between the PC, PS4 or Xbox One. But definitely do not avoid Nintendo stuff unless you have to.

 

[yoyo67]

No, because I need to play Cyberpunk, Vampire:Masqurade, and Halo infinite. Now I have a PC+switch combo. Technically pc isn't a console so in a sense then yes....

 

[Meesh]

Previous gens had me with Nintendo and PC, very little Xbox or PS at all.

This gen? All Switch, all the time. That's all I know
