It doesn't even have any stand out, unique to its own platform games. The PS4 at least had Killzone Shadow Fall which yes we can admit the story was lackluster the graphics were great for the time and multiplayer was great.
But then years later they are so censorship, pandering heavy that the company that made space Nazis are now focused on making the female lead of natives vs robot dinosaurs uglier than her first outing.
If you want to know why Nintendo is releasing the Switch OLED with only minimal upgrades to the screen and hard drive, look no further than the economics of what it costs Nintendo to make.
According to Bloomberg, the $350 unit, $50 more than the current Switch, only has $10 worth of upgrades, it’s estimated.
They most definitely did adjust for inflation, they just didn’t tell you.
They also make that as an option, not a command. Nintendo is also looking into shrinking the package size for games. They are aware of inflation and adjusting.
You do realize that the ps5 is made at a loss correct? Unlike the switch. The cost to manufacture a ps5 is still only $50 less than its cost, without adding in any development cost, advertising, or distribution. I had a switch that glitched on me an was essentially unusable after I bought an initial release, if you remember the drag issue that a lot of switch controllers had and made playing handheld mode impossible. The switch also still has a complete shitshow of forcing “non-primary” switches that you bought and have one account on to connect to the internet anytime you want to play a game, which happened to me when I bought a switch lite to have as a handheld. Sorry, but for all of Sonys shitty problems, hardware has never been an issue. My ps3, ps4, and ps5 all run great and have since I bought them. I can stream my ps5 on my ps4 or on a pc screen now.

So? Sony has a stupid business model and Nintendo doesn't, therefore Nintendo bad?

So you had a bad experience with your Switch that isn't indicative of most people's experiences, therefore Nintendo bad. Ignoring the near 100% failure rate of PS1s and PS2s (those nylon gears just didn't hold up very well.)
Also, my original NES, purchased in '85, would like to say hi. So would my Gamecube, purchased at launch, just to compare devices with moving parts. Unfortunately, my Microsoft and Sony hardware has all had to be replaced. My Dreamcast still works, but it admittedly didn't get a ton of use to reveal wear-and-tear flaws.
Sony hardware has historically been cheap garbage. But at least it's better than Microsoft hardware which is poorly-designed, cheap garbage.
LOL! This is a hot take, you couldn’t even buy a left joycon for years after launch. They later admitted they knew of the issue before launch and…. Did nothing to fix it, no refund, no repair, you just had to pray you got the issue before the 1 year warranty expired.
Your comments probably aren't popular because we despise Sony (I will never buy another PS), and the PS5 is soulless, but you are 100% correct about the joycon drift being a major issue.
Nintendo dropped the ball, knew about it, and for liability reasons had to be sued into offering free repairs - at least within the USA.
(On the bright side, if you're one of the lucky ones to get an early enough model where the Tegra chip has an unpatched kernel access mode...congrats to free games and more importantly, being able to backup your saves, if you so wish.)
My PS4 has a static issue with it's HDMI. It only really shows up in 3D games. My guess is the soldering isn't perfect, but I don't have the skills to fix that.
I'm sorry about your experience with the Switch. That really sucks. I've really enjoyed mine, and have been playing a wide variety of games with it. My wife and I play Kirby, my kids play Minecraft, and I am playing Cuphead and Castlevania collection at the moment. We each have a backlog of games we want to play on the console.
Honestly, the playstation line is a really weird one. From PS1- today none of the sales numbers match up. This is around the time Sony creates a cheaper one if the sales aren't working. The PS3 Fatboy with full set up to the lesser fat boy, the skinny boy, and then slim were released as Sony responded to their sales numbers. But the sales of the console do not match the popularity of the games for it.
So a cheaper PS5, at this point in time, while the 5 year old competition doesn't seem to be suffering as much is a sign that something big is happening. It's a compliment to the Switch as much as speculation on what Sony is up to.
It wasn’t just me, a large number of original switch buyers got jipped, no refund. The left joycon was sold out for years because of it and you had to buy a full 100$ set for the second biggest flaw to hit which was the sensors not picking up handheld mode. I spent more money on switch products than any other console already and only have a lite now. Sorry, but Nintendo has one of the proven worst track records on hardware since the wii came out.
AND YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF ORDERING A PLAYSTATION FIVE
AND YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF BUYING A LARGE 4K TELEVISION
AND YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF BEHIND THE WHEELS OF A TURISMO AUTOMOBILE
AND YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF IN A SOULLESS HOMESCREEN, WITHOUT ANY GAMES
AND YOU MAY ASK YOURSELF, "WELL, WHERE ARE THE VIDEO GAMES?"
In the end, it's just got no games.

Buying Sony consoles after the PS3 not even once.
Twice for me (both PS4) but they were off craigslist and I sold them when I finished the game I bought it for.
retvrn
If you really feel this way you should have been scalping to the sweaty gamers. You could have made tens of thousands.

That's my thing....I can't even figure out why I'd want to buy one. They could be $200 and it's just not offering me anything.
Glad I gave up on all consoles after ps4. 100% focus on PC gaming now instead of 99%.
Same except I went from 100% console to 99% pc.
I still play Trials on my ps4 but that's it.
Meanwhile the switch hasn't gone down in price once. Adjusted for inflation it has.
They most definitely did adjust for inflation, they just didn’t tell you.
They also make that as an option, not a command. Nintendo is also looking into shrinking the package size for games. They are aware of inflation and adjusting.

I prefer physical. Heck, I just bought Cuphead and really wished I could find the physical edition for it.
The hilarious part is Sony didn't adjust for the US Dollar, despite reaching parity with the Euro.
You’re complaining they’re adjusting for inflation?
Sony didn’t increase the price of the PS5. Your governments devalued your currency.
Maybe if they made a game worth buying besides the DeS remake I’d give a damn.
