Which console to buy in 2026, guide weighs PS5, Switch 2, Xbox
The Legend of Zelda: 40th Anniversary Edition console helped drive total US Switch 2 hardware dollar sales to its highest weekly total of 2026 to date (w/e Oct 31, 2026). Total US video game hardware spending jumped 81% in the week compared to a year ago. Source: Circana Retail Tracking Service
Mat Piscatella89What will not be fun to explain a bunch is that the hardware and accessories for TLoZ 40th AE will appear in the October Circana results, while the game itself won't appear in the rankings until the November reporting.
fakeninjitsu.bsky.social4I sure hope that makes them make more Pro controllers and the like. Finding a Pro controller has been impossible.
John Welfare3Can we get any insight into how COD and Gears of War impacted console sales those weeks?
TrunksWD1Was it the highest week for Switch 2 hardware in terms of units sold of 2026? I know the average selling price should be higher than it was earlier in the year.
Rayman’s latest fashion statement? BWAH! 🐰 Exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, the Rayman Rabbids costume is yours for free the first time you visit Victor Velour’s costume shop in Rayman Legends Retold, available Dec 3! Learn more: ninten.do/6010aC6J4
Roxie9So PS5 gets an Astro Bot costume but Switch 2 doesn't get the Mario and Luigi costumes that existed on Switch❓
Fer 🇲🇽6Ubisoft has FORGOTTEN about Mario
ZoYatic4Even in his own game, Rayman cannot outrun the rabbids... Poor guy.
Xenobrina11After weeks of discourse related to the Ocarina of Time remake it's important to remember what an actually unnecessary remake looks like.
Cartridge Games10Ubisoft’s Nintendo partnership seems to have fallen through No new collab game since sparks of hope Removed the Mario costumes from Legends
Álvaro🌺🍂3en playstation teniendo una skin esclusiva de astro bot y en nintendo una de los rabbids...
You're all playing Ocarina of Time and I'm over here (without a Switch 2) playing Final Fantasy Resonance
🎮Sorawolfkiba🗝👑6I've been playing that as well ☺️
MDK3we are not the same
The Other Dan2Same bro, same. And having such a BLAST
PopPunkNerd2How is it on the switch 1?
Anthony2Nothing wrong with that. Final Fantasy Resonance looks legit fun! Also, this will be me on and post the 19th when everyone is playing GTA6 and I'll be playing Ultima 7 most likely. No PS5 or Xbox Series, and I'm spending that much on a base game release. Waiting for PC.
Sagacyte is waiting for Christmas2Resonance is amazing. Still going through it, and enjoying every second.
Huh Switch 2 is successfully emulated on PC now apparently, though not optimized yet.
Benjanun Sriduangkaew @ Persephone Effect out now24Stands to reason I guess, since even a mid-range PC should still be way more powerful than a Switch 2.
aurelia and aureliette will see the stars4important to point out that no, AI has not "sped up" this process. Nintendo is just very smart (or dumb? who knows) and the Switches are very similar
Emily Dare1And Switch 2 games are running on mac as native applications with no emulation at this point
Jerry Sköld1Damn, everything moves so fast.
Summary: I share some neat #Yuri PC games to check out and potentially support along with some console ports. Thank you to @wacolstudios.bsky.social @snowfairycircle.com @claudiathedev.bsky.social @sunnylabgames.bsky.social I announce my trip to Japan. yuriempire.wpcomstaging.com/2026/11/09/m...
Nick3You're going to Japan?? Awesome!! 👏👏
Anime Corps3So happy for you man. Hope your trip goes smoothly! One day I'll make it over there, one day.... 😭😭
OtakuGamerGirlT (On Writing Hiatus) 💯 bIm 🏳️🌈1Congrats on going to the Cultured Holy Land! I hope you have a fantastic time! I hope to have that opportunity one day too. Enjoy your trip!
This doesn't indicate quality or anything of the sort and I'd assume its a fine game with no real notable flaws, but I heard so little about Age of Imprisonment that I thought the 2025 Zelda titles were just the Switch 2 Editions of the Wild games
RockettPowered2I think it's in this weird spot where it had to fill out it's roster with a bunch of newbies for it's setting so it couldn't generate the hype that most Warriors spinoffs do. Big roster of dudes who exist to represent a weapon even if they're endearing in context.
MorningMoon2Besides it running at 60fps it's kinda half a point worse than AoC in every way. It's still good, but the gadgets aren't as good as the sheikah slate and being a canonical story really limits it even though the guardians are good.
Nick Dooficus1It's a great game, but being the fourth Wilds-era game and on a brand-new system was always gonna limit how many people talk about it
danny1doesn’t have The Legend of Zelda in the title so it’s basically a second-class citizen
I don’t think I had a NES, Genesis over SNES, GameBoy was ok, PlayStation over N64, PS2 over GameCube, never really played a ton of DS, never had a Wii or WiiU, played maybe 3 or 4 Switch games and can’t afford a Switch 2. GBA and 3DS are really the center of my Nintendo playing.
Esper Quinn 💠24more than the GBA itself, playing emulated GBA games was sweet-spot for me. My jank-ass poverty PC I grew up with could run the full library and I still think of that style of game as being, like, The Default Video Game somehow. Metroid Fusion seems like Generic Prepackaged One (1) Video Game.
sorrel1get ur hands on a dsi and hack it sometime, incredible machine with a software library that truly does not translate well to any other platform (even 3ds imo). over the last year and change it's become easily my favorite console
omlt - Miku connoisseur era1When it comes to the og GB family: GB Pocket over GB Color!!!!! (the only handheld I was low-key disappointed by, even back then. Fortunately, seeing Pokemon in color was definitely giving lil me a whole lotta joy) But I agree, GBA was (is?) maybe my favorite ever. Backlight with the SP was huuuge!
