>console sales have grinded to a halt>Mario Kart World selling less than 8 Deluxe >Nintendo reportedly witholding Switch 2 devkits from developers and telling them to develop for the Switch 1 instead>Metroid 4 and Pokemon ZA both coming out with Switch 1 versions, no exclusives announced Am I crazy for thinking that Nintendo is not commiting to the Switch 2? It kind of seems like they want the Switch 1 to keep hobbling along like the PS4 did for the first several years after the PS5 came out
>>719865928>console sales have grinded to a halt>Mario Kart World selling less than 8 DeluxeGot any proof? For either of these? And isn't Air Riders an exclusive?
>>719865928It's too expensive, plus Switch 1 already have a ton of games, plus the difference in graphics is not great.I think a lot of people don't feel the need to upgrade.
it honestly doesnt even feel like the damn thing came out. Like it has zero fucking games aside from mario kart. they really needed huge zelda game to come out with it or something.

>>719865928>console sales have grinded to a haltnot really, it's still the best selling system in Japan by a good margin according to Famitsu>Mario Kart 8 is outselling Mario Kart WorldMario Kart 8 has just never stopped selling because its basically THE perfect Mario Kart game. Nintendo was kinda just fucked when it came to making a better one.but honestly, I think they're trying to do a slow rollout for the Switch 2. They want to keep the Switch on shelves because it's so successful so they want to drip feed Switch 2 content until the Switch 1 is out of steam, because as it stands, they can make games for both (even if they're cannibalizing hype for Switch 2 by doing so)
Look back to the SNES, N64, GameCube or Wii U. 1 game at launch is Standard Operating Procedure for Nintendo
>the only consoles I ever bought were the Gamecube, Wii U, Vita and Series X>thinking about getting myself a Switch 2 for the holidayShould I do it?
>>719866338is switch 2 backward compatible with 1
>>719866338Worst case scenario, you get to play Switch 1 games. Your only mistake in that list was the GameCube.
>>719866398There's like 20 Switch games that unironically run better on S2 than Yuzu or Ryujinx.
>>719865928>fake newstry harder, schizo.
>>719866338You'll be manly playing old or enhanced Switch games for the moment. There's fuck all on the 2 this year.
>>719866593I already played most of the Switch 1 library on PC, I'm thinking of getting the Switch 2 mostly for the multiplayer games(mostly smash)
>>719866338Do it.If you don't have a switch 1 then just buy the switch 2 and done. You get to play switch 1 games in higher res and sooner or later you'll get more switch 2 exclusives
>>719866237>does not include digital sales...
>>719867018hes a schizo, anon.dont waste your time. logic would also say of course MKW sold less than MK8 because people are struggling to afford consoles and games in general right now, MK8 took a long time to find its feet.
>>719866439name them
>>719867009>You get to play switch 1 games in higher resthis is wrong most switch 1 games on switch 2 look shittier because the screen is 1080p and handheld mode for switch 1 games is 720p or less and most of them have locked 30fps framerates and will NEVER get updates to run better
>>719865928All the nintendo fanboys already bought theirsNintendo is not capturing the casuals without lowering the price
>>719867754They still have to do lottery queue. Fucking ridiculous
>>719865928Its not nintendo. Its Doug bowser telling them lies and the japanese on the Nintendo board eating up his shit.
>>719867018
>>719865928Why do you lie? The famitsu thread is in the catalog and mkw is selling 5x more than mk8
>>719865928I could believe it. Even the things reveal was a "here you go shut up" boring infographic. People day that was because of all the leaks, but the rest of the marketing hasn't exactly been good. Two non-regular directs after launch? Shadow dropping the Splatoon Raiders announcement on a gay app? I'm just not seeing the same energy and confidence from Switch 1 launch year
>>719868119>Why do you lie? The famitsu thread is in the catalog and mkw is selling 5x more than mk8UHM, OH NO OUR RESPONSE FELLOW NINTENDO DERANGEMENT SYNDROME POSTERS?!
>>719866237>Switch 2 sold 67k units>ps5 family (pro, normal, disk or not combined) sold 7k. >xbox family sold 271 units. So Switch 2 has outsold the competition almost 10x over. Your options are: The Switch 2 sales are insanely high still, or sony and microsoft are weeks away from bowing out from the console market entirely.
>>719866338Maybe. Is there at least 3 games that you really want to play on Switch 2? Since you didn't get a Switch 1, that can include Switch games too. The only reason to buy a console, is if there's enough games you actually want to play.

>>719868119>The famitsu thread is in the catalog and mkw is selling 5x more than mk8Isn't that specifically just Japan?
>>719868098Don't ask black people
