They have some great game developers that could oh, wait they died at the front, nevermind.

I'm sure uncle Yuri can use his previous experience developing accounting programs in an old scorpion back in the 80s.

Why would they bother focusing on consoles at all?

They would be way more successful investing in game developers.

How would they sell their games to other countries?

But then who on this planet was expecting that.

"Unpolitical" Russians?

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 40 points 1 week ago

TIL that exists.

I wonder how their McRonald’s is doing?

The Nintendo Switch can't match PS5 or XBOX either, yet outsells both.

Nintendo intentionally under powers their stuff to cut down on costs in order target the all encompassing "family" demographic. It's like their whole schtick since the Wii (The GameCube was the last time iirc they tried to compete with the Xbox/PS)

This has been their schtick since Game and Watch.

Seriously. They legit called their first console Family Computer.

Technically the Wii U was the most powerful console at the time it released.

But only because it released towards then end of the Xbox 360 / PS3 lifecycle, so it was a very short time period until it was once again severely underpowered compared to Xbox any Playstation

  • Neither PS5 or XBOX are mobile
  • Switch also targets a different audience
  • As long as the hardware is competent, the software matters a lot.

Thankfully Nintendo has fun games. Not going to hold my breath for anything good on the ladabox

[-] CoffeeWire@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago

Have they tried threatening the console with nukes?

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I mean if it exists and isn't just an old PC that'd be a miracle. If memory serves they got like 3 months or so to develop a plan...
