I genuinely would be fine if all of Nintendos new consoles had similar specs to the GameCube, I buy consoles for exclusives hence why I buy Nintendo consoles and a PC, the only non Nintendo console I bought was an Xbox360 E for MC legacy edition but I would never buy an Xbox series as I can play Xbox games on PC with Xbox play anywhere and with Sony releasing PS games on PC, Nintendo will soon be the only company worth buying consoles from.

Imo If you haven’t got the social aspect for playing with friends then I’d go with a PS5. I’ve got a XSX but I usually play online with people, If I didn’t have that I would defo go for the PS5. Also depends on the games you want to play, I’m a big Halo fan and prefers the controller. All personal preference, that’s my 2 cents.

we already have Nintendo games on a different console: mobile.

Sure you could argue that the original GameBoy was inferior. Pea green screen, with four shades of pea green. No backlight. Highly inferior to the Sega GameGear.

And the DS. Super inferior to the PSP.

And the Switch compared to the Series X? There's no competition!

But that means nothing, because Nintendo worked within the limitations of the hardware and produced AMAZING games. Specs don't matter if you know how to use them to still make great games.

I feel like sane people just ignore those who care about 4k120 over actual quality of games. I say this as someone with multiple 4k120 setups, for PS5, XBSX, and PC.

Nintendo first-party stuff by and large is designed with the hardware limitations in mind, and tends to look great even on my 4k OLEDs (with some exceptions - Astral Chain, I'm looking at you, and Pokemon). Anyone who has a problem with that has other issues to deal with.

Most Nintendo games I’ve played are very well optimised for the hardware, and I appreciate the console’s low power draw and portability.

I also enjoy more graphically impressive games on my PS5. But to me they don’t make Switch games inferior, just different.

The Switch has actually really impressed me, and as a prior PlayStation-only gamer, wasn’t actually the step down in experience I was expecting at all.

XBox and PC complement each other if you also have Gamepass Ultimate. Thats another
option for you to consider. I have this and it's great to be able to share saved game progress between the two systems. If someone watching the TV in the living room i can play on the PC and carry on my game progress. Not all games are on both systems and offer shared game saves tho so there is that. All 1st party MS games do amongst others too.

I do also have a PS5 but I haven't actually played on it yet, it's still sealed. So, I can't comment on that side of things, other than to say personally none of the PS5 exclusives have appealed enough to me yet. Something will in the end and ill open it up and play :)

PC with Game Pass with a PS5 with PS Plus is great for me. If you have a PC, I see no reason to own an Xbox. PS is bringing their games to PC but they're still at least a year after release and there are many games that aren't available at all on pc.

100% agree. Even on a 24" 2K monitor Overwatch 2, that lacks AA, looks way sharper when playing with 4k downscaled to 1440p than native 1440p. Series S might also offer worse visuals and unstable framerates depending on title. You never know which games you're gonna play in the future and one day you might buy a new display with higher res.
