>>
>>722796147
Cool. Do you get paid if it sells more? Does it make the system or its games better? Does anybody who is not a Nintendo shareholders (or possibly employee) stand to benefit from this? No. So why care? No matter how rich Nintendo gets you're still stuck with a shitty outdated handheld with low effort first party titles that are a shadow of what Nintendo released in the past and the worst third party ports on Earth. So again, why care?

Yeah but it's slow, wasn't that one guy pushing that it was at 6 million, it can't be, Japan is only at around 2 mil, so that leaves it's single biggest region at 2.4 mil. and it's second biggest region at 2 mil leaving Europe and the rest of the world to make up 2.6 mil, no way they are at 4.6 mil, that would be impossible.

It's slower than expected, also that's an upside down 9, that guy said that it was around 9 by now but that's impossible, then again it's clear Nintendo have no stock and don't even seem to be interested in securing more production capacity.

They're improving on that. You won't see third party games on Switch with the night and day quality gap of the Mortal Kombat port anymore since graphics can't progress much further beyond the PS4 level. The only thing left to bitch about is the framerate.

There's no competition for fab space and Samsung are known to push for 100% utilization of their manufacturing capacity, getting more APU's should be the easiest part of Switch 2 manufacturing.

Snoys: get Futa Peach on Bowser's throne with the man face PS sluts all around her and used up
Xbawks Mario giving the skeletal xbox wojack a 1-Up mushroom to revive him before burning him with a fire flower and pulling out another 1-Up
Palsnoys: Pikachu hyper vore of the knockoffs followed by burping out the words 'Delisted'
PC vegans: Switch dog shitting onto a Deck and calling in that one modder to come work off his debt by cleaning it up

Just because some third-parties are (still) retarded and out of touch with the current market doesn't mean the third-party isn't there on Switch 2 either.
Remember we had for example the director of the RGG Studio who didn't want to port the Yakuza games on Switch 1 (around 2020 ~ 2021 iirc) until the company had to do a full reverse in 2024 (the Kiwami 1 port took only 3 ~ 4 months to be developed) and now you get Kiwami 3 on Switch 2 the same day as the other platforms.
>>
>>722803159
It'd be funny if the gap between the Switch 2 and PS4 kept widening. Like the September data saying
>Switch 2 is now 7% ahead of PS4 launch aligned
That being said I do expect the Switch 2 numbers to be down, though still #1 among current platforms. Not due to any specific factor just that we're heading into a slow season for sales. When we start getting into the Holiday season is when the bloodbath is gonna start.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. was heavily censored on Switch. That's probably why the remake is skipping Switch 2.
>>
>>722808661
Im from spain myself and this place has always been snoy country. The fact that switch and switch 2 have been selling decently at all is a testament to how mismanaged the playstation brand has been. We also have the absolute most boring taste in videogames ever, even compared to UK. Its really just fifa and gta for the most part.

But there are literally bloodier games with smoking, Bayonetta 3 has lots of blood, you get to see your monsters ripped to shreds by Luka and Balder smokes a cigar, and there's swearing, and there's a joke mode that censors all of that for journalists, and that game was published by Nintendo, I don't get this kind of censorship.

6 million *globally*, these are just US numbers.

Japan alone has as many as the entire US (together with the rest of Asia), easily pushing the total to 5+ million and then there is also Europe which would push it to 6+ million.

Bayonetta 3 was in 2022. These new policies from Nintendo started getting rolled out in late 2023, and that's when Gungrave G.O.R.E.'s Switch port was released.
>>
>>722798439
It has also all the games on the previous console but not running like shit even if they never got an update. Pokemon Scarlet/Violet is finally somewhat playable, so is Zelda Age of Calamity, Bayonetta 3 is uncut 60fps by itself, etc.

Most people have more than enough of a backlog of Switch 1 games they wanted to play but didn't get to for performance reasons to probably hold them over for the first 1 or even 2 years.

The fact that you have to use niche titles like let it die and fucking gungrave to shitpost nowadays is embarrassing, TGS 2025 was dominated by Switch 2 games like Monster Hunter Stories 3, Resident Evil 9, Yakuza Kiwami 3, Hyrule Warriors Imprisonment War and Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.

>>
>>722809804
I'm not even for a second talking about the studio or the general faggotry of the game, I really don't care about the game I played it up to the point I linked and then quit on PC, but the fact that a game can have full nudity and swearing but one can't, I honestly think it's more likely that the publisher completely misreading the market thought that the only way to land sales on Switch 2 would be to censor it to lower it's rating rather than censorship, which isn't to say that it isn't there, it's clear that it is since all of those fanservice games are being censored, hopefully that's due to the US division and with coming changes in their management structure that goes away.

>>722809420
Even from Capcom that new Onimusha isn't coming to Switch 2, Switch 2 support is just clearly a much lower priority to these companies, even when the hardware can clearly support it, if Switch 2 can run RE9 with ray tracing it can run anything. At this rate I have no reason to expect anything other than a repeat of the Switch 1, where most games don't get a port but when they do it's so half assed that there's no point in even bothering.

>>722809982
That doesn't explain why Christmas Massacre had its Switch release canned completely. Puppet Combo was open about how they spent money on a port that could never see the light of day.
My point is that CDPR, on top of being a well-known AAA studio that would bring a lot of negative attention to Nintendo if they got censored, are also affiliated with the ESG/DEI agenda, much like Nintendo is now, and DEI is a racket with how people "in" on the scheme get special treatment, while outsiders not on board with the agenda will get scrutinized or outright blacklisted.

I will make it easier for you.
Even though the APU that the Switch 2 uses was designed by Nvidia to Nintendo's spec(haha) the actual chips are manufactured at Samsung Foundries, Samsung as a company aim to keep all of their manufacturing plants at capacity because there's more money to be made by selling excess stock to smaller companies that produce budget products than just shutting down that part of the plant and firing it up as it's needed. Because of this and the extremely low demand for Samsung's 8 nanometer silicon fabrication process it would be easy for Nintendo to have Samsung manufacture more of their APU.
Basically what I'm saying is that that particular component is not the bottleneck, and it's unlikely that that's any of the other high end components either, if anything it's most likely that it's the assembly process as other companies that are willing to pay a lot more for their products to be assembled to avoid additional tariffs in the US, or expected incoming economic downturn.
If Nintendo were on a more in demand fab node or used more modern higher in demand components then that could be the case as was the case with PS5/Xbox Series in 2021 after they had launched.
>>
>>722810806
Hm, I wonder what that asterisk could mean...
>>
>>722810624
His point was that September would most likely see lower sales than August, and he's going to be right on that prediction because it's not much of a prediction, you can see the lower sales in Japan across the month (most likely due to hoarding consoles for Pokemon's launch next week)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs069dndIYk
He will definitely gloat about this but it's unlikely that the trend will follow due to the hoarded consoles launching with Pokemon.
>>
>>722811120
What does that have to do with the recent circana numbers though?
>>
>>722810806
>The final new game in the Top 20 is at No.3 and it is Sonic Racing Crossworlds from Sega. It’s not an especially big launch for the kart racer, which managed launch sales lower than last year’s Sonic X Shadows Generations, and well below the launch of Mario Kart World
Sonicbros...
>>
>>722811196
His prediction that the release for the September sales data to be lower than August will be right though due to Nintendo's hoarding which is evidenced in Japanese sales data, he will use this to jump up and down saying that he's right, right up until October numbers launch showing those hoarded units releasing along with Pokémon.
>>
>>722810941
It's because
1. Nintendo doesn't contribute data. Any other publisher can at least corroborate digital numbers from the eshop since they would have their own sales data of their own games. It's also why AC Shadows suddenly disappeared from the top selling of the month and year, because Ubisoft stopped contributing data to Circana. I can imagine EA might go the same way too since they're going full-on private.
2. Dollars are a more consistent metric than copies sold because retail prices are much more variable due to games having so many different editions, e.g. Call of Duty having its 8th gen version, 9th gen version, blackcell special editions, etc. Otherwise you have shit like the eshop's penny sales issue where people would sell a game for pennies to make it skyrocket to the top of the best sellers chart. Charts would be completely useless because they don't mean anything if the rankings can be manipulated that easily.
3. Bundles are part of hardware numbers, hence why there was still tracking with Mario Kart World

>>
>>722810295
There's definitely another explanation here because Mortal Kombat 1 came out the same year as Gungrave and RE8 RE7 and RE9 are all coming to Switch 2, and those games will feature excessive gore.
Maybe it's an issue with digital only games, it certainly is strange.

>Nintendo doesn't contribute data.
I don't care, that still makes the numbers total bullshit. If they don't have the numbers then what they should really do is provide two separate chart, one of digital and one for physical. As it is right now the numbers are meaningless because it's an apples to oranges comparison
>Dollars are a more consistent metric than copies sold
Bull fucking shit. That makes games like silksong, which was obvious a huge seller, not show up at simply because it was priced differently. Even if it's interesting data, again, why can't we have both?
>bundles are part of hardware
This is also why dollar numbers are retarded. It inflates bundle numbers as money spent on the hardware, when in reality it's people spending on the software.

It's not even a bubble. A bubble implies there's some coherent thought that's just warped by bias and lack of perspective. Like if it was something like Switch 2 sales in the Philippines or whatever, I don't fucking know where the Switch 2 isn't being sold.
Nintendo hater internet is just a self-amplifying fire fueled by
>people that just really want Nintendo to fail and take any success it has in the space personally
And that can be
>console war fanboys at either the nobody youtuber level or actually in control of a major gaming publication, e.g. Chris Dring who is gamesindustry's chief editor or whatever the fuck his day job is when he's not arbitrarily jacking off Sony title sales performances
>people that feel entitled to pirate things so Nintendo is always the target of the ire, exacerbated by Switch 2 emulation being basically nonexistent outside of vague ideas
>Nintendo having the gall to offer nonessential luxury products in exchange for money is a crime against humanity to some

There are people that are utterly convinced that if Nintendo went bankrupt somehow that all the evil in the world would be vanquished forever at that moment. People convinced Mario Kart World being sold at $80 was some harbinger of eternally high video game prices; a threshold that companies just arbitrarily refused to cross until then, and not that games have been perpetually sold at that price point with some trivial feelies like 3 days of early access or whatever.
"X Derangement syndrome" is a thought terminating cliche that I hate to see used ever in serious dialogue, but at the same time these people really don't have any thoughts to terminate.
Anyway be sure to tune in this week for how this year will totally be the year that Call of Duty dies and Battlefield emerges triumphant because some comment section performative digital cosplay milsissies that were never going to play the game anyway were mad about cartoon skins or SBMM or some other inane thing.

DK Bananza started as a Switch 1 title before it became a Switch 2 game. There's also stuff like Kirby, Mario Party and Mario Wonder DLC being Switch 2 exclusives as kind of low-investment short-turnaround incentives.
I'm wondering if there was an internal debate over titles like Pokemon Legends Z-A and Metroid Prime 4, if there were concerns that you might see the same dragging effect as the PS4 against PS5 game sales, nobody buys stuff for the new hardware because they keep releasing on old stuff. The Switch 1 cannibalizing the Switch 2, basically.
Of course it might be balanced out by the earliest adopters of the Switch 2 being the least price sensitive and most interested in "Switch but more powerful" so it balances out. Pokemon will naturally be the first real test though, how much will "Pokemon but with playable performance" matter to the audience at large. The Switch 2's second big flagship tentpole after Mario Kart...but still on Switch 1.

Also, are you not smart enough to realize that for launch they stockpiled units for 8 months (that's why there were factory leaks in December last year) so they can only produce 1/8 of the number of launch units monthly?

Long-term I think Nintendo gave consumers the most "sense of value" with Switch 1 ever which vastly increases the chance they'll upgrade to Switch 2 because then they feel it's a safe buy and an investment to get tons of games in the future, not to mention getting NS2 editions/upgrades. I think PS5 gave some of the worst sense of value for any successful console ever. Imagine the PS4 owners that expected PS4 type games and Sony promised "we believe in generations" and then they made the PS5 games for PS4 anyways and made nothing but live service slop, most of which were cancelled. Even for hardcore Sony fanboys that had to bite

None of that is true, Eric
>>
>>722828974
the switch 2's cpu is already bottle necking ps5 games and forcing them to lower enemy density, aka it's making games worse by limiting what devs can do. the end result will be phone games being more complex than games with switch 2 as their main sku. and when both games end up on pc, pc players are gonna opt for the fucking mobile ports instead because they're free and higher quality.

that's only in the nintendo fanboy fantasy land where switch 2 gets all the games, the reality will be that games miss the switch 2 again like what happened with the switch 1.

I think a lot of people still don't get the appeal of the Switch which is why Switch 2 will eventually outsell Switch 1. The appeal of the Switch is ultimately that it makes playing games more convenient than any other system out there. That is not something quantified by numbers and you have to play it to get it. I understood its appeal like 5 hours into BOTW and have not looked back. Now it feels like a step backwards when I have to play on a tethered console that doesn't automatically sleep and restart where I left off. Switch 2 wins in convenience and exclusives which is why Nintendo is now market leader

look at the state of modern gaming where it's the same few things being rehashed and recycled, most gamers are playing free games or cheaper indie games and not paying the $70 prices let alone the $80 prices the industry wants going forward. yes, i think that at the rate things are going people will play free games instead of buying the same sony movie game with a different skin, the same fifa game, same cod game, and a new zelda game using the same map again.

No it doesn't, Eric.
making shit up won't save you

I posted proof ;)
>>
>>722837334
the worst part is that those phone ports aren't even watered down like switch 2 games are lmao. the npcs density is still in tact on phones. sad!
>>
>>722837678
20fps at 360p,and you are shilling that garbage.
how odd, after you posted that image.
and only 1700 dollars!

>I CAN'T AFFORD A SWITCH 2
Third worlders of /v/ and Reddit and YouTube are having spastic freakouts. Their gaming computers are just GTX 750 from 15 years ago pirating Nintendo games, lol. The PC master race who hasn't upgraded in 15 years or if they do are running bootleg Chinese sloppy used 8GB ewaste GPUs flashed to think they're RTX 3060, lol. Did you know that 80% of Reddit /r/pirated games are IndianGamers subredditors too?

Congrats to Nintendo, I own a Switch 2. Because I'm not a third worldie.

>phones are more powerful than switch 2
>video shows that the most powerful almost 2000 dollar phone gets mogged
Why are snoys so mentally ill?
>>
>>722837767
>20fps at 360p
yeah, like cyberpunk on the switch 2*

*with npcs removed because it'd be sub 10 otherwise
>>
>>722838090
Eric, lying won't save you.
Switch 2 has more NPCs than PS4 and runs at a higher resolution, btw.

Switch version was International (in addition to be its own thing with a bunch of QoL features) meaning they censored the violence like the Japanese PS4 version of the original Gungrave game.
Global releases can often be a monkey paw due of rating boards having issues with certain themes (PEGI don't accept anything related to gambling unless it gets a +18 rating, CERO is obviously against anything gore even if it's rated Z aka 18+, etc.)
>>
All the seething about Switch 2 are 3rd worldiers who have no economic or gaming industry to afford it. It's all PC pirates on 20 year old laptops. Why do you think Indian pirat nation is always getting reweeted here
>>
>>722796147
uh oh, the snoys are going to be so fucking mad that their switch 2 doomer campaign not only failed, but, that the switch 2 has beaten the PS4 record!
>>722796469
>Cool. Do you get paid if it sells more?
KEK
called it, first post snoy post!
>>
>>722838181
no, it runs at a lower resolution and relies on dlss. nintendo fanboys and being tech illiterate is such an iconic combo.
>>
>>722796469
But I am a shareholder, and I bought pretty heavily before the split. It's a long term hold, plus I can justify any video game purchase I want from the dividends.
>>
>>722838803
Wrong, Eric.
Lying won't save your tranny ass
>>
>>722796147
That's nice
I'm still not getting a switch 2 as long as they're overdepending on NSO
>>
>>722838803
If the visual quality remains virtually the same, unless you 3x ~ 4x zoom the image (something nobody does when playing games), then who cares? To me that this DLSS thing sounds like a more efficient and smarter way to get similar results rather than brute-forcing everything with components that takes x10 times the electricity power.

the potential console: always if and when but never is
>>
It's been 40 years and Nintendo is once again saving the American video game industry
>>
Switch 2 is the best console of all time.


Why would buy Resident Evil 9 on PS5 when I can buy a portable/dockable version that looks and runs just as good?
>>
>>722841475
Why lie
>>
>>722796147
Why is the lineup so weak?
>>
>>722796147
They are buying it themselves and posting reviews. A proof of purchase is 1 review, even if you made the product.
>>
>>722842962
Any proof of this?
>>
>>722838803

The only time you should care about the tech in a gaming system is when that system is completely upgradeable like a PC, because you at least have some control over the specs
Everything else is just consolewar fanboy wankery
>>
>>722842847
Where's the lie?
>>
>>722842935
It's better than Switch 1
>>
>>722843071
PC gaming is a pathetic joke. Not a single game is optimized. So not a single PC gamer is having the same experience as any other PC gamer.

So devs just release games broken as fuck with hope of hot fixing a patch when the complaints shore up.

$5000 down the shitter to have an objectively worse experience than a $500 console. PC troons are mentally ill. Always. Without exception.

You're right that no one should really be invested in this but at the same token there also shouldn't be people practically making entire online careers that revolve around desperately hoping for this thing to fail
