It’s nice to see Luigi’s Mansion in the top 3. Great game.
Ah yes, continuing to show just how Nintendo’s manipulated the masses with a shitty cheaply made tablet and how many had to be bought to replace them.
Sony, your PS5 better be worth that hype if you want your status back as the company that really saved gaming
Saved gaming from what?
There was only one time in the history of the industry when it was in serious danger, the crash, and the thing that revived the industry after the crash?
A plumber.
Got nothing better to do, I take it?
I’m sure the reps from Sony will be around soon to search for feedback in the comments section of a Nintendo news website and will pass your comments up the ladder.
No, no… I’m not being sarcastic. I’m sure most Sony employees are playing their Switch primarily these days :)
Is there some unspoken rule that there has to be at least 2 absolute d***a**** at any given time?
Mmmmmmm, your salt is delicious. Feed me more, feed me more fresh, delicious, salt, mmmmmm.
Oof. The Switch Lite is about to overtake the PS4 Pro. Switch Pro won’t be a thing until, at the earliest, 2021.
2021? May as just wait until a new next generation console
“Xbox One S – 85”
….. Oof
These are crazy numbers. Way higher than usual.

Pretty much. No other company has saved the industry more than what Nintendo did in the 1980s with the NES; that mid-decade is what changed video games forever.
Yes, a plumber from Kyoto.
An Italian plumber from Kyoto.

Unless it’s coming this year. It’s true that Switch Mini came in 2019 but rumours about the Switch Pro were around with the rumours of Switch mini.
*Switch Lite. Not Switch mini. I don’t know why I called it Switch mini.
