Has anyone actually found the NSP/XCI somewhere?

I've found an update file but the base game doesn't seem to be anywhere I have access to.

Do the search yourself with whatever source you trust. They all have the same information.

Sony spent over 2 billion on R&D in gaming last year, which doesn't count the guaranteed volume that's also required to get leading edge chips. Nintendo still spent less than a billion (which is a big increase from the complete joke of investment leading into the switch, because the switch didn't take any research).

Ah, yes. The good ol' "do your research sheeple" bit. Gotta love it. You've already claimed so much BS, why shouldsI take anything you say at face value?

Also: lol. Do you think that the technology in the Dual Sense's triggers is new? o.O

Do you actually even own a switch, if you're so desperate to dunk on Nintendo?

With a nice chart showing how much of a joke their investment developing the Switch was.

There are literally dozens, minimum, of sources with the same numbers. They're in annual reports and not secret or debatable at all.

Everything I've said is accurate. You're the one pretending putting one of the worst controllers ever made together with off the shelf parts is somehow comparable to designing custom SoCs on cutting edge nodes.

Ah, yes... "accurate" claims like

  • the third best selling console of all time behind the ps2 and the ds is dependant on "collectors"
  • that Breath of the wild was an old game when the switch released
  • that Nintendo didn't "do risks"
  • "All of the Switch's popularity is because of third party games", when the 24 best selling switch games are all published by Nintendo.

Give me a break
