11 months agoIt’s exaggerated alright, but Nintendo first-party titles very rarely go on sale and when they do, savings are lower than other manufacturers’ first-party titles.
As an example, BotW is at around 35% discount a couple times a year on average (although it wasn’t on sale at all for around two years, 2020-22).
In comparison, on Sony’s side, Demon’s Souls is at around 55% discount these days when it’s on sale every couple months or so. And yes, that’s technically a second-party title, but I feel it’s more relevant to compare launch games in this instance.
Even Sony is becoming greedy with its own published games not getting huge sales like they used to.
Xbox Series controller dpad is very clicky and well defined, so accidental diagonal inputs aren’t a concern with that one.
There’s likely a number of other similar clicky dpads on the market nowadays, it’s been popularised again with quite a few retro handhelds.
