GTA V sold 220M+, but it was across 7 platforms and 3 console generations.

Fun with numbers:

GTA V sales:
PS4: 25M
PS3: 21M

Animal Crossing sales:
Switch: 50M

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

I want to explain something to Nintendo fans that seem to live in some delusional mindset where they think Nintendo won't be impacted at all by GTA 6.

GTA 6 will be the biggest launch in entertainment history, period. Rockstar will be spending close to a billion dollars on marketing, you are going to see the game everywhere before release and even after release. It's going to be all over Tik Tok, streamers, youtubers and website publications will be covering it non stop, word of mouth will be all about GTA 6.

Now obviously Nintendo diehards will buy Nintendo games regardless of this but Nintendo isn't just thinking about them, they have to market to people outside twitter, reddit, gaming forums bubbles etc. Now you can't do that when a single game is dominating the conversation everywhere, this is the part that Nintendo fans fail to realise, this is why publishers would rather risk cannibalizing each other in September than going head to head with GTA 6.

Xmas is the most important time of the year for Nintendo and they will have to spend three times as much in marketing to even be close to piercing through the noise of GTA 6 especially in the U.S. their largest market. Nintendo will have to release something for the Xmas period no doubt and I am sure whatever it is it won't flop but they will definitely be impacted in some way by GTA 6 despite it not even being on the platform because at the end of the day attention is the fundamental currency of the entertainment industry.

Something to think about.

I think the problem is they know the price will continue to increase as time goes on, so there’s no point in announcing one until they literally have them ready to ship.

The later sticker shock will be worth avoiding all the backlash from multiple price increased before launch.

[JuiceManVon @JuiceMan_V]

Valve needs to stop the bullshit and reveal the price.

The sooner they rip the bandaid off, the better.

@hrudyplayz 🥃

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz Yeah okay the convo is over.

If we’re debating what FACTS are we are at an impasse.

Switch literally has RT cores on die. It also has Tensor cores on die. CUDA isn’t used for voice recognition, a language model is (absent on 1660).

You’re not here for a legitimate discussion.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

For one, Switch 2 is a hybrid of both Ampere/Lovelace, so it’s more like an RTX40 lite, and Switch 2 has significantly less bandwidth requirements to do what it does vs those older systems for rasterization.

It’s an extremely efficient SOC that exceeds what folks predicted.

[BlackSageD : The Titanfall Evangelist 🤖 @Black_D_Gamer1]

How does the Switch 2 have "more power", when it's based off a RTX20 series chipset, and only runs off of 12GB's or RAM, as opposed to the 16+ GB's of RAM that the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC uses?

Even the Steam Deck operates off of 16GB's of RAM, with a quad core APU.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz 🥱

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz You’re literally explaining the fallacy that applies to you- proving me right yet again.

You don’t have a notion of power scale if the only thing you think that refers to is FLOPS.

Bye.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz You don’t know what moving the goalpost means- I’m staying ON THE TOPIC YOU TRIED TO SKIRT AWAY FROM (lying about Switch 2 even being remotely similar to 1660, or any GTX part for that matter).

Learn what words mean, and get out of your feelings.

You got caught, straight up.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz Appeal to Authority fallacy. I’ve also developed software, and developers are also LAYMAN that DON’T design hardware- they just use the SDK in a walled garden.

You aren’t ready for this convo so enjoy the loop:

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz No matter your rationale, facts are facts- Switch 2 has RT cores on die. It has Tensor cores on die. A GTX 1660 has NONE of these things.

You lied.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz “lying by asserting Switch 2* has anything in common with a 1660”

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz No we are not going to shift the argument to your definition of what RT is (NO IMPLEMENTATION IN GAMING IS TRUE RT ANYWAYS).

You ARE going to be held accountable for LYING by asserting Switch has ANYTHING in common with a 1660 barring it also being a GPU.

Stop the cap.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

This dead horse has been beat TOO MANY TIMES.

Know trolls when you see them- if they can’t acknowledge clear undisputed information directly sourced by people that are fiducially responsible for misinformation, they are NOT here in good faith.

I don’t block trolls- y’all should

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

You know the Switch 2 hate is STRONG when we got folks literally lying about the system not being capable of RT or AI models (DLSS or RTX Voice).

Yes, Switch 2 does RT. Yes, Switch 2 has tensor cores.

None of this shit should need to be explained at this point.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz Yeah okay the convo is over.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

Contrary to the complaints in the thread, Nintendo might actually be working on an update for this game to address the upscaling issues.

The problem is the Wii U engine and the first of its kind in HD, which may take some time to address.

This is game is like $20 in other platforms, you clearly just glazing for Nintendo

[OJ - PlayerEssence @PlayerEssence]

Switch 2 is going to have a great sales year 😆

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@TheNintendoGoof

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@PlayerEssence @TheNintendoGoof LMAO

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@Kirby0Louise The underlying arch cannot be 2020 if no Lovelace part shipped until 2022.

A78C removes Big.Little, increases L3 available per cluster to up to 8MB vs 4, and there are significant performance changes to NEON to support that so it’s more than what you suggest.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

It’s old arch only saved by high clocks. Every Zen 2 product barring Epyc will crawl compared to A78/Ampere+Lovelace at Switch 2’s clocks.

And SteamDeck sacrifices battery life SIGNIFICANTLY per volt added.

Facts are facts.

[BlackSageD : The Titanfall Evangelist 🤖 @Black_D_Gamer1]

The Steam Deck uses a Zen 2 APU. The SAME exact technology, that the PS5 & Xbox Series X/S uses! Not only that, but it's on the same level an an AMD RX 5700XT, in terms of raw graphical power.

Not only that, but the deck can be manually overclocked in the settings.

[Shadow Fox Infinite @ShadowFoxArche]

@hrudyplayz Shader model matters, not FLOPS. No GTX 1660 is doing ANY form of RT, which is why it’s a GTX and not an RTX which didn’t start until 20 series.

Switch 2 has Lovelace SM layout, so I totally disagree with downplaying it to a non-RT part.
