It was mainly due to those first five months. It started off real slow out the gate due to a nasty combination of:
I’m curious why you think that?
That doesn't really seem to be the direction that LLMs and other similar "generative" models are moving. Seems more like they're going to just keep getting bigger until the bubble bursts.
yeah, zelda, 2d mario, fire emblem, splatoon, pikmin, xenoblade, prime 5 must be all in prototype phase while the launch games and last switch games like fe4 remake,mario party and prime 4 are almost done, probably next year they gonna ramp up
not all of nintendo, unless they finishing a launch window this is really weird, above all for the dev of one of switch's graphic showcase
I'd love to hear more of this. We never get this kind of insight into what Nintendo really thinks about their own products.
3DS was an iterative successor to the DS, it looked like and was marketed as a straightforward upgrade to the DS and initial hype was pretty good.
Ultimately the biggest reason why the 3DS had a slow start was software. The launch lineup had no killer app - the flagship titles were a nearly tech demo-level Pilotwings game and Nintendogs. Mario didn't come out until the end of the year. Aside from the literal tech demos bundled with the console there wasn't anything making great use of the 3D despite it initially being pushed as the main selling point.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. So like a balloon that keep expanding until it bursts? Huh?
It didn't help that they bet massively on gimmicks with the 3DS and Wii U that failed almost immediately, and those gimmicks were quite pricey. 3D gaming never took off like they expected, and they spent a bunch of money on screens that would have been better spent on the chip.
I wouldn’t say it was the biggest reason. The overall package for 3DS early on was quite unappealing. Even had Mario appeared early the 1st party software dearth still would have persisted. Combine that with the high price & momentum still would have been slowed until the price drop & more consistent 1st party software.
Maybe they're acquiring a company "platinum games ,etc... "Isnt weird that theres no mass hirings going on ? things are too quiet nowadays,it dont even feel like most teams are right now developing for a system 10x more powerfull, most nintendo affiliate studios have less open positions than usual, next level games is not even hiring anyone, nintendo for the first time since 2017 have 0 contracts open,wonder if there will be more cross gen titles than people expect
And to have a fanbase that is super attach
What scaling do most modern TVs use? I recently moved on from a 2017 1080p Samsung and damn you sure could tell on that thing.That is a pretty tall order for maybe 21 months on the market.
But putting unit numbers aside, the timing would be pretty similar to when GBA, DS, Switch got their first major Pokémon releases. Black 2 and White 2 arrived for DS well after 3DS's release, but even that was only 16 months (Japanese dates).
A rerun, but I think with proper scaling it'll usually be hard to tell the difference.
An AI "optimizing itself" is something that only happens in science fiction. A lot of that sort of talk originates from very handwavy (and frankly pretty cultish) "singularity" discourse that treats intelligence as some sort of fundamental quantity that's always going up which is just completely detached from the real world.
i really don't want them to do that, platinums collaborations with nintendo are amazing but they deserve to be independent and not a subsidiary
We're comparing the Switch 2 to the 3DS because Nintendo once again has to figure out how to properly pivot from an absolute juggernaut piece of hardware to a brand new platform. The fact that the Switch is amazingly successful doesn't mean the Switch 2 is primed for success because... well, the 3DS launch is right there as an example of Nintendo nearly botching what, for all intents and purposes, should have been a sure thing coming off of the Nintendo "2nd best-selling console of all time" DS. You can say that the Switch managed to do X, Y, and Z, but that doesn't mean anything if the next system can't properly follow it up.
Examples of that has already happened multiple times. A well known example: DeepGo playing against itself millions of times to optimize its own chess strategy.
LOL okay, done with poorly veiled backhanded comments yet?
I'm aware. I took AI course in college more than a decade ago and have been following AI news long before generative AI and LLMs have been making the news lately.
If you haven't been following the recent advancements in AI technology, I don't think I'm the one who's detached from reality. The type of advances we're seeing in particular are not just going to fade into the background like a passing fad.
just like directs, i don't believe in patterns, but understanding what happened in the past can give you insight into the future.
I don't think that's necessary.
Didn't Iwata plan this though? I think they were trying to consolidate their business way earlier than the Switch, but the tech just wasn't there yet. They couldn't give up the handheld market due to how successful it is.
No need to acquire studios in Japan when you can just pirate the important ones. As for western studios, they would have to acquire them.
The way you phrased that seemed to suggest a much stronger claim than just training a model against itself (something that probably wouldn't have the desired result on the sort of unsupervised learning an LLM does).
My intention was not to antagonize, I appear to have misread your previous post as espousing more of a view that AGI was going to spontaneously emerge from LLMs, a view that I do genuinely think has some very cult-y roots, though obviously not everyone who thinks that is even aware of where it comes from. If you look deep enough into certain AI booster circles, you start to find people who seem to think they have some sort of divine imperative to push towards some nebulous singularity at all costs, so I'm a bit sensitive to when it seems like the conversation is drifting in that direction.
91? Pretty sure the Snes was announced in 89 or something. The DS was also short
Looks like the hype has stopped for now
Let's go back to this tree
that nice, this will help on next gen development
