It's funny to think how badly Sony hosed up the PS3 launch and how they spent the rest of the generation clawing their way back to a level where by the end they had sales coming close to the 360. Meanwhile MS with the XB1 have pretty much done nothing but give people less reasons to buy it as they show less and less interest in people actually owning a xbone over a computer.

It is funny that all this has really caused is for MS to be the only one of the three major consoles to have any sort of meaningful backwards compatibility, with Sony only having crossbuy once in awhile and full priced remasters and Nintendo only having full priced remasters.

drat, it’s almost like every console manufacturer is epically greedy + lazy and will only do poo poo when there are rivals to compete against.

Rumor mill is saying the virtual console is making a comeback of sorts, launching with nes and gba games and snes and n64 coming sometime late 2018/early 2019. The only part of the leak that I didn't really believe was that it'd be priced cheaper than VC releases have been in the past.

Nintendo has outright stated they have no plans to bring the Virtual Console brand back, presumably opting instead for this subscription service, which will hopefully include more than just NES games down the line.

I'll never understand why Nintendo refuses to let us buy Super Mario World for the tenth time on their wildly successful portable console.

I guess either to make their subscription service more appealing, or to avoid the whining of past VC purchases on Wii/Wii U not carrying over.

XB1 def hosed up and got curbstomped at that one fateful E3 with the used games/online only poo poo plus the PS4 being 100 dollars less. What sunk them even further was the complete dearth of 1st party exclusives while Sony continues to pump out masterpiece-level poo poo on a yearly basis. Even when they had a potential killer app, a Hideki Kamiya game that was like DMC with Dragons, they killed it and figured "gently caress it, lean on Minecraft on PUBG" but even that doesn't really pay off when you can play Minecraft everywhere and PUBG runs like dogshit on your monster 4k system

As pathetic as it sounds, I think how easy it was to pirate VC games on the Wii, partially because the VC itself had a very easy to exploit framework shook Nintendo to a point where it's still being felt.

I think this legit happened in early/mid PS3/360 era, Sony definitely wanted to try to even things a little and Xbox refused.

Yep FFXIV didn't get an Xbox 1 port because Microsoft refused to allow crossplay back when the game was in development. Then the consoles actually came out and both companies changed their tune

edit: that was also pre-Phil Spencer though so the change in management probably made a difference too

On a more cynical note, the Virtual Console, like the Wii, was Iwata's baby and Nintendo is leaving behind the disaster that was the Wii U.

What did you study?

I suppose that post was misleading. What I meant was I was just done with college classes for the semester. I still am gonna have to take way more at my community college for the next few years until I figure out what I'm doing with my wreck of a life.

Back when I was in a real college I was trying to study marine biology but I completely failed at it. Now I have no clue what to do since my only other career related passions are playing games and making mediocre art. Obviously I can't be a *~pROFesSioNaL GaMer~* and being an artist is super competitive and limited so I'm at a loss. I'm taking an environmental career class next semester to see if there is anything there for me but I'm not optimistic. Life is hard.

If I could I would just spend all day making crappy art that will hopefully one day be less crappy.

My recommendations based on the description of your skills

1. Start drawing porn. If you really want to be rich draw furry porn and my little pony in Nazi uniforms.

2. Stream games but make super alt-right comments. Try to piss off a female blogger and then tweet about how they're trying to censor you. Open a patreon and become a millionaire over night.

3. Find a lookout position for the State or Federal park services and spend the rest of your life in quiet seclusion churning out art, dying in seclusion and poverty, and being discovered decades later to universal praise.

I'd say you need basic anatomy comprehension to be a porn artist but I know that isn't true.

The real hurdle to diving into the filth and getting paid to draw people's kinks is having to associate with the people that indulge and pay for said kinks. I'm not one to kinkshame but "communities" built up around feitshes are cringe incarnate.

Working for the federal park service would be nice though. Too bad my state just cut jobs in that department :geno:
