Why would they bother focusing on consoles at all?
They would be way more successful investing in game developers.
How would they sell their games to other countries?
Have they tried threatening the console with nukes?
Yeah there are a lot of things you can’t do when you’re half drunk all the time.
TIL that exists.
I wish them good luck!
I wonder how their McRonald’s is doing?
It’s doing fine.
McDonald’s is a franchise, as you know. So Russia simply has a “pirate McDonald’s” with different branding. With “pirate Coke” among the drinks.
They got that Sespi and that 8Down
But then who on this planet was expecting that.
“Unpolitical” Russians?
The Nintendo Switch can’t match PS5 or XBOX either, yet outsells both.
The Switch mostly lives on the talent and creativity of Nintendo devs. Russia seems to be lacking in the quantity and quality in that regard as well.
Honestly, I would expect Russia to shoot more for PC gaming, rather than console gaming. But that would almost certainly require using home-grown or Chinese semiconductors. I’m not sure there are too many homegrown Russian semiconductor fabs, and Chinese chips aren’t known for their high performance like Taiwanese (TSMC, and by extension nVidia, AMD) and American chips (Intel) are.
talent and creativity
Idk, Russian hackers have plenty of talent and creativity.
