I really want to dig out my old gamecube and original animal crossing now, but they're 1200 miles away in my brothers' storage locker (he now has kids, it's probably in his living room).

I'll get around to picking it up, and a switch, sooner or later. Until then it's murder zombies in SoD2 and trying out games on gamepass. I played "Tracks" the other day just to catch up to a friend on achievos, because yes, we're both that lame. I've got a title to uphold against his recently unemployed rear end.

I have a cheap laptop. I stick to the xbone. I've been eyeballing a switch recently but it's not a priority. I've learned patience over the years, and I have plenty to keep me occupied in gaming anyhow.

I'm seriously dragging feet on finishing Sniper Elite 4, Planetbase, a bunch of stuff because I generally don't care if I finish them. Animal crossing will be worth it when I eventually get a switch. I really want in on the new Doom too, but that will definitely slide into gamepass soon enough.

how cheap? dolphin runs on raspberri pi 4 these days, its prolly the best made emulator with the biggest support, and animal crossing runs fine on it. you can even gently caress with the clock

Like Christmas Acer Amazon special for $300 about two years ago. It's cheap, but I'm sure the emulator will run on it.

holy poo poo

animal crossing sold 1.9 million copies

in japan

in 3 days

quote:


The reports were true, as new Famitsu data (thanks, VGC) confirms that Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold a phenomenal 1.88 million copies in just three days in Japan alone.
As mentioned in our original article below, this means New Horizons has had the best launch of any Switch game so far in the region, beating the previous record held by Pokémon Sword and Shield (1.3 million in three days) and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's 1.2 million sales across the same period.
The 1.88 million total only includes physical sales, so adding (currently unknown) digital sales into the mix will likely be eye-watering.

I was adding grow poo poo to my cart on amazon and looked over at the Nintendo page for a minute, switch is sold the gently caress out without a $200 premium, minimum. $450-500 all day, as amazon themselves are out of stock.

So yeah, that's going to be waiting a while longer. I deserve this, it's karma for scalping a Wii when they were initially released. For about the same amount, ahh, irony.

Nah, they got their last dollar from me when I had to replace my xbone power supply.

You know, for a first gen xbone, going through two power supplies isn't that bad. I remember red ringing a 360 with a nyko intercooler in like, six months, and I think that one was from the second wave of production.

gently caress Microsoft and gently caress Xbox 360, I had one I bought in 2006, red ring in a year and a half. Bought another one vintage 2008, didn't last six months. Bought a refurb off Amazon, actually lasted almost a year, red ringed, I fixed it, DVD drive failed. So in 2010, I bought a Ps3 from the PX in Mannheim, I still have the loving thing and it works great. Xbox can smdftb

My 360 experience was similar, but aside from two power supply failures (and almost no one stocks power supplies, let alone a microsoft branded one), this xbone has been a workhorse. I run all of my tv apps on it and it runs 18 hours a day now that I'm just thumbing my rear end in a top hat in my apartment all day.

I'm not saying it's great or anything, but PSN was down for how long?

Gamepass is pretty alright for the price I paid. I don't know how I'll feel about it next year when I have to shell out $15/mo for it, but it's definitely more value to me than paying for netflix.

I'm watching the abc news live feed on youtube right now on the xbone. It's literally the backbone of my television viewing.

the RROD was a drat mess yeah

That said, as much as Microsoft sucks, I’m glad they’re not completely out of the game. Sony was getting a little arrogant dominating the console war (while the Switch spent about two years as a BOTW machine) though I don’t even put Nintendo in the same category as MS/Sony

ps3 was hot trash from sony

the cell chip bs made it way to hard to develop for and made games run like poo poo compared to 360

i still have mine though since i have the mvc1 and 2 ports on it that got ripped down from eshops when disney bought marvel

didn’t the PS3 win though because of Japan sales?

It had some cool games but it definitely seemed overpriced with little games compared to the 360. Wild how this generation seemed to flip

360 barely sold in japan. they tried with the jrpg Blue Dragon to get sales there after launch, which had Akira Toriyama artwork and everything, but nope.

only reason japan bought at all that i know of was for fighting games, since mvc3 and sf4 played way better online on 360. Ps3 had all the anime fight games though

Japan was the only place the PS3 beat out the 360, iirc

The 360 team did an incredible job throughout the life of the console, I have no idea what the hell Microsoft was smoking when they changed them out for a bunch of idiots for the Bone.

I think there’s like eight people in Japan rn with an Xbox one

Though Phantasy Star that just came to the US is an Xbox exclusive for the US (and PC) which is some poo poo. I think there’s a Switch one too but it’s streamed per-se since the hardware probably can’t handle it

Anyone get it?

lest we forget Sony had horrendous online forever that only got marginally better after they got hacked to poo poo and shut down for months

PS4 was pretty garbage too until it was patched a bunch

I have no hope for Nintendo. Though what do they care, they print money

All I care about consoles is leaving the PC out of their bullshit exclusivity things. RDR2 was dope but I'm not buying a console for it.
