Nintendo Switch 2 is More Anticipated by Players

Okay, PlayStation and Xbox fans are you sitting down comfortably? Yep? Okay then, here we go. The next generation PlayStation and Xbox console could have all the power in the world going into the next generation. It could be on another level, it could set benchmarks we’ve never seen before but without the right content that is merely a pipe dream. Because believe it or not PlayStation and Xbox have failed on expectations this generation.

Yes, they’ve failed. I think regardless of what the peak of that potential power is going to be. We’re going to need to be seeing more. The fans will want basically what they’ve been promised this generation and then some. There is a limit to how far these platforms can technically go. And if there isn’t I want to know what exactly is going to be the selling point going into the next generation.

Nintendo Switch 2 however, is entirely different. Why? Because Nintendo haven’t maximised the potential of their overall software output. Graphically, they still have wiggle room to innovate. The whole eco-system is essentially something that they’re only going to improve on.

I look at PlayStation and Xbox. I look at what kind of games have been released this generation. I also look at the communication we’ve had on innovative never seen before gaming experiences and despite assurances that this generation would be different. Personally, I feel like PlayStation and Xbox have less to work with power wise unless they really start driving innovation into their gaming IP.

There will be innovative worlds and AI to transform the way world building changes worlds. Cloud and AI are both examples. It’s going to transform next generation console experiences.

The reason why most people prefer to look at what Nintendo are doing these days. They’re the only gaming company that hasn’t maxed out their power ambitions. They’re also the only company that focuses on a simplified approach of keeping to their traditional roots. Nintendo has shown with the Nintendo Switch that power is not everything. People just want good games that tell good stories. They want performance and power upgrades. But at the same time, they want good game-play.

The Nintendo Switch keeps it simple, that’s why people are excited for it. They look at PlayStation and Xbox and there has been great content no doubt. Nobody will dismiss that, but there is an air of caution to how far they can go further power wise without disappointing the masses.

Of course, I am not saying that PlayStation and Xbox will not innovate because they will. I’m just saying that the Nintendo Switch 2 is a console that excites people because it has more room to grow power wise both visually and game-play with their most famous IP. The majority of players are excited by that more so than a PS5 Pro for example.

I won’t rule out the fact that PS6 and the next Xbox could be something truly revolutionary but at the same time. The stagnation in terms of innovative game content has hit a roadblock. It’s almost as though we’re being sold consoles these days on gimmicks and potential or even marketing. I actually think if that was to change it would be a big deal in the industry but to do that all gaming studios have to reach the same level that the platform holders themselves aspire to.

Until that happens, Nintendo Switch 2 truly will be something that many will keep their eyes on and be more optimistic about.
