from what i am reading it doesn't feel different than psn but like psn i'm not reading some of the finer points that cause issues.  like they say you can play your games on any account with online but i'm not seeing anything that states definatively that you can only be online on one hardware at a time.


also online for psn is easy because it's a home console.  switch being a handheld means internet access is not a guarantee like when on a plane. 


also account management can be a pain sometimes.  as many times as i tell my kids to use their accounts they sometimes use mine anyways.  since save files can't be passed between accounts they then have to remember which account was being used for which game.



and psn for whatever reason lets me have a primary ps4 that is different than my primary ps5 making things easier on me.  2x switches won't have that loophole.

This seems to be the UK faq:

identical to the one i found in the US.  doesn't really get into the concept of a "family".   

if i buy games physically anyone can play anything but not at the same time.   also physically is just annoying.

if i buy games digitally anyone could play anything even at the same time.  but if we are traveling one console cannot play anything.  also account management is just annoying.

Never going to pass ps2, wow it got close

[the-pi-guy]

PS2 lives on 

[kitler53]

Sony is going to have a ps2 "mini" console soon to push those numbers up another 15 million.  xD

Wonder if it'll pass DS though. That is 154 million, just a bit over 3 to go

close to 5m this quarter.   switch would need to have the most epic collapse ever to not pass DS and ps2.   like basically nintendo launching switch 2 and intentionally taking switch 1 off the market.    i suppose that could happen but it seems unlikely to me.

Even without switch 2 it's dropping fast. With switch 2 being a drop in replacement, not a new gimmick, I think the collapse will be pretty epic.

But my prediction is that it'll finish between DS and PS2.

A Palce Holder?

What's a Palce, and why does it need a holder?

$400 US seems pretty likely imo

$400 US seems pretty likely imo

i figured 400 would be nintendo's target.  i also figure trump's tariffs could drive things up,..  $400 x 1.25 = $500.   i'll be curious to see what nintendo lands on with the uncertainty in the political environment.
