Confluence News Reporter Wang Zuoming / Comprehensive Report
At the end of last year, with Sony and Microsoft launching PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X/S, the new generation of home consoles officially opened. But even so, some foreign technology websites believe that although the new console is launched, it may be more wise to start with the old one, such as Nintendo’s Switch.
In the past two years, the world has been affected by the epidemic. People stay at home for longer periods of time. They do not go out to cooperate with epidemic prevention measures. Games and audio-visual platforms with the best tools to pass the time have become one of the few popular markets that bucked the trend and opened red markets during the epidemic. In particular, the PS5 and XBOX dual versions released at the end of last year caused players all over the world to panic buying.
However, foreign technology media recently pointed out that although the two major brands have launched new consoles, if compared with Nintendo, it might be better to buy a Switch. The main reason is that although PS5 and XBOX both said that they can play the console games of the previous generation, and there is also an exclusive game on the platform, in fact, at present, there is almost nothing new. Because many games are just remakes, their game ecology is still developing.
On the Switch side, it has accumulated more than 3 years and many high-quality Nintendo games can be played. In addition, there are many third-party games that were originally only launched on the PS and XBOX platforms and have also begun to expand to the Switch. Therefore, foreign technology media believe that choosing Switch is a more sensible choice at present.
As far as the Chinese market is concerned, news recently pointed out that the Switch has shipped 1 million units since its launch in the mainland. This means that Nintendo has surpassed Microsoft and Sony to become the largest game console vendor in the mainland. Because there are millions of units sold in a year alone, which is higher than the combined sales of PS4 and XBOX One over the same period.
In this regard, a Tencent spokesperson said that Switch sales in the mainland have had a good start, and the mainland-specific version of the game market is also highly accepted. Niko Partners predicts that the success of Switch’s entry into the mainland will cause another wave of benefits for handheld consoles in China. In particular, the mainland market is extremely important to Nintendo. You can let the people start before China has cultivated a home console culture, which will bring considerable sales output in the future.
But the report also said that Switch still has some shortcomings, such as poor connection experience, too little internal storage space, etc., but there will be such differences, mainly because the design of the game is different, so if you want to choose a better quality With GPU experience, players can still choose the type of host they want to play according to their needs.
