What Does a Playstation Podcast Make of The Nintendo Switch? - Beyond

damn look at that rate bar

This is the worst
sry IGN, this was a fail af !

They're basically saying. "If it doesn't have a Sony logo on it I won't buy it".

I swear I'm gonna slap that bold gead

IGN, can you please fire the bold, negative guy with the leather jacket who think hi's cool and funny? Thank you!

I think you guys want it to be a portable PS4 pro. If so you dont understand technology and thats also pretty unfair to Nintendo....I have a PS4 btw. Of course the battery won't be great again look at other mobile devices and this makes perfect sence, do you think Nintendo can magically make a 6 hour battery for a 720p device for gaming?? They would be way far ahead of the competition if they did. Keep it real guys.

Passing rumors as facts...these guys are a joke.

Anyone who downvotes this video is overly sensitive. This is their job to break down the situation. They did a good cautiously, optimistic assessment of what many people in the industry are thinking about the upcoming console. People need to stop being so easily butthurt and defensive of their lovechild.

You know you have no real problems when you're 'super worried' about a games console

who the hell cares about specs

wait WHAT u have to get up to reset nes classic .
why are people so damn lazy these days

I think these people are forgetting something. Switch is a portable console but also can works like a home console but firts is a PORTABLE CONSOLE.

These guys, especially the two on the left, prefer the big AAA third-party blockbuster multiplats. Of course they also like Sony exclusives because they're Sony fans,
but those third-party blockbusters are what they can't go without, like as a Nintendo fan
I can't go without playing the next big 3D Mario game or the next mainline Pokemon game. I don't just want to play/experience those games,
I NEED to play/experience those games. Mass Effect Andromeda and Red Dead, etc are those games to them, and possibly even the majority of gamers these days
which is a shame because Nintendo have released some truly fun and addictive exclusive games on Wii U, with Splatoon being the best thing from them to come out of this generation in my opinion and feel more people should play it/try it out. This includes the 3DS as well.

Brian is probably the only one at the table who NEEDS to play The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild therefore he will/has to purchase a Switch at launch.

i get that the majority of the nintendo fan base plays little third party games, but please dont generalize that way. I have more third party games on my wii u then nintendo games, and yes some of them are called mass effect, deus ex, assassins creed, etc.

What's with all the dislikes? These are the concerns literally EVERYONE who isn't a diehard Nintendo slave has about the system. Its on Nintendo fans to prove them wrong. Support third parties as well as the first party stuff and it won't turn into a desert in three years

Disappointed

I don't know about Mass Effect and Red Dead Redemption being the best 3rd Party games of 2017... I honestly think that Rime or Seasons of Heaven are way more interesting. (My Opinion)

I'd quote Billy Madison's "I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul" speech, but it would be wasting too much time for something that doesn't deserve it.

Simple...Four idiots at a table...

"The peripherals might be janky and not work that well" tv screen in background shows someone holding PlayStation move controllers

The reason you see these kinda people complaining about the switch and Nintendo fans not complaining about PS4, is because Nintendo fans realise that their console isn't the most powerful on the market, they get it for fun. These people are complaining about something like this from rumours because it looks more fun then the graphics/power centred PS4. Last time I checked, Playstation newest console is FOCUSED on being more powerful and better looking than the last. Nintendo is focusing on being original, innovative, and overall: Fun. Now , I'm not hating on PS4, but I am DEFINITELY getting a switch.







Switch > Ps4

screw you dumb** the switch may not be strong hardware,but everything about the games everythinh from first second and third party. I play first, second and third party( but the third party developer will need put lot of effort on the switch hardware full potiental).

PS4 IS A Super super Nintendo?? really? BAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I guess when they were talking about Nintendo fans not buying third party games they were specifically referencing the Wii U because if memory serves right there was a ton a third party support on the 3ds.

Oh no!!! Im a nintendo fan!!! I obviously didnt actually buy an XBox One with Mortal Kombat, Overwatch, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Dishonored, Arkham Knight and SW Battlefront (plus a whole load more), no that never happened.

i think all this talk about the vita dying is a marketing strategy by sony

these guys are nuts

Hey Bryan. Yeah you. Shut up.

all four of these dude are stupid fools

Feels like they are just making some of these complaints up as they go along. But I guess you gotta complain about them Nintendo, right.

a bunch of idiots who knows absolutely nothing

This is embarrassing I can't believe I call myself a PlayStation fan

It's time to let some of these guys go. The negativity is a bad image for IGN. I'm sick of IGN and have been for a while. Negativity if fine in moderation, but Brian takes it to another level.

If it's so terrible why're you spending $700 on it at launch there Humpty?

garbage

This is the 2017 version of jocks talking shit about the nerds.
Cant wait till the tables are turned

would have been Awesome

Oh, how wrong they were.

These guys must be eating their words by now.

at least you tried

The Super Super Nintendo. Remember that system?

Brian loves the Switch now but absolutely crucified Nintendo in this video......

These guys need to have this discussion again.... I think it will be a very different discussion........

Lol. This is so funny to watch now. I knew it was going to be a succes from the beginning.

I like how "some of the biggest games of 2017" that weren't coming to the Switch was Mass Effect: Andromeda and Red Dead Redemption 2. Arguably the biggest disappointment of the year and a game that was delayed until the end of 2018.

Meanwhile, Breath of the Wild sweeping the awards lol

I wonder what they'd say right now. Fun fact they all own a switch and are now some of the biggest fans of the system.

Gosh so many people were wrong about the switch lol

IGN's analysis essentially boils down to, "Things will be the same as before." For example, they argued that because the Wii U was a failure, the Switch would also fail. Similarly, they assumed that because Mass Effect was good, Andromeda would be good too. The problem with such shallow analysis is that it can sometimes lead to conclusions that are not just wrong but the exact opposite of reality. This approach also opens the door to cherry-picking. Why not use the 3DS as an example instead, to suggest the Switch would succeed?

To provide meaningful insight, you need to delve deeper into the situation, consider the context, and analyze the facts independently. Nothing in this video aged well. It wasn’t just wrong—it was disastrously wrong, to the point that it should have damaged their credibility, especially given the confidence they showed in their claims.

Journalism unfortunately has only gotten worse since 2016. There is zero annotatability or responsibility for the content they make. The cast on Beyond this day all self-reported that they had no level of competency as games journalists this day. Nobody should listen to these people if you actually want sound, rational takes that reflect reality.

Dang. A group of gaming "journalists" being utterly out to lunch on this. Color me shocked.
