why would anyone in their right mind play an $80 game on 18fps when they can save and buy a PC?

>>722815717

>>722815493
Everyone reasonable knew the initial sales would be big, the interesting part will be seeing how the wider market, which is more price sensitive, will react to the higher price compared to Switch 1. You know, the parents who buy one as a Christmas or birthday present, the girl who only plays Animal Crossing, the guys who don't play too much but buy one to fit in... You can already see in some markets that the PS5, a console that has been on sale for 5 years is beating the Switch 2 sales weekly when they are practically at the same price.

>>722817551
Will that really end up mattering when it's sold so much as to offset any lost sales though? I feel like this is just kicking the can down the road, "well it didn't flop at launch but it will definitely flop around Christmas"

>>722817721
I'm not saying it will flop, mind you, not even at a 600$ price point would it flop after the loyal fanbase Nintendo acquired during the Switch era. I'm just saying it won't sell as much as the Switch 1, at least not at the current price point.

>>722817820
Especially with the Xbox and dedicated PS handheld coming out. And the Steam Deck 2

>>722817837
Sure, people don't buy Xbox consoles but they'll definitely buy Xbox(-branded) handhelds that are even more expensive.

>>722817901
How much do the handheld pcs sell now

>>722818006
The insider who said Microsoft canned an actual Xbox handheld because AMD asked for a minimum 10 million unit production mentioned the Steam Deck is estimated to be at around 5 million units sold. PC handhelds aren't competition for the Switch.

>>722818161
The steam deck 2 might be much better in sales due to power alone.

The ps handheld is whats going to be wild. An actual dedicated handheld for the normie masses

>>722818313
Depends entirely on the execution, Sony has the precedent of messing it all up with the Vita. Will they make the PS6 as a whole a hybrid console? I doubt that, I feel like a separate handheld unit makes more sense for their power-focused strategy. And they won't use cards so the handheld would almost certainly be digital-only. There is a lot to consider even beyond pricing.

>>722817551
They haven't even released a title from 4 of their 5 biggest franchises yet, mario, zelda, mario kart, pokemon and animal crossing. All of those are going to get switch 2 exclusives at some point and will all cause spikes in sales. Normies love animal crossing, it will move massive numbers of consoles.

>>722820686
nah, you unironically don't know what the term "normie" means. lurk moar faggot

>>722820686
Let's ask chatgpt:

The term “normie” (slang for normal person) is used online to describe someone who enjoys mainstream, widely popular culture, as opposed to niche or “hardcore” interests. In gaming, a normie gamer typically plays popular, accessible, and social games rather than obscure, mechanically complex, or indie titles.

Here’s how the stereotype breaks down:
• Plays games that friends or influencers play
• Prefers short, casual sessions or easily understood gameplay
• Values fun, graphics, and community over technical challenge or depth
• Often plays on consoles, mobile, or PC without deep modding or optimization

⸻

Top 10 Games “Normies” Are Most Likely to Play (as of 2025)
1. Fortnite – Still huge; easy to pick up, full of crossovers, and social.
2. Call of Duty: Warzone / MW3 – Fast-paced, familiar, and extremely popular.
3. Minecraft – Universally beloved, creative, chill, and nostalgic.
4. Grand Theft Auto V / GTA Online – Evergreen, fun with friends, and meme-heavy.
5. Among Us – Casual, social deception game; resurges during group hangouts.
6. Roblox – Immensely popular among younger normie gamers.
7. EA Sports FC (formerly FIFA) – Mainstream sports fans’ go-to.
8. The Sims 4 / 5 (when released) – Popular with casual gamers and streamers.
9. Valorant – Stylish, social, competitive but approachable shooter.
10. Candy Crush Saga / Mobile gacha games (like Genshin Impact) – Casual mobile gaming crowd.

⸻

Bonus Mentions:
• Rocket League – Easy to learn, hard to master, great for parties.
• Apex Legends – For those who want something “cool” but not too hardcore.
• League of Legends – Surprisingly normie in some circles due to sheer reach.

LMAO imagine knowing less than a fucking clanker xD

>>722821152
Anon, I'm from Spain, you can buy right now a Switch 2 in any of the major retailers. Game, Amazon, Carrefour, and if you want some offers even Miravia and Aliexpress have Switch 2 with UE warranty.
Obviously the price isn't the biggest factor, the major one is desirabilty, but as I said, it's a big concern for the less enthusiastic population. When a child asks for a 470€ as a gift it will raise some brows, specially in the current economic climate.
>believe it or not console don’t peak at the first year
That I can believe so. I don't have a horse in this race, I just want the companies to not scam us off.

>>722820985
Oh the irony

>>722817551
Again, idk how many times we have to say this. It’s never about the price.

If price was a huge factor, the Series S would be the best selling console this generation. But that tanked hard and Xbox is dead.

It’s the perceived value. The Steam Deck and Series S aren’t exactly flying off shelves. They are not good products that offer value to the average consumer despite being cheaper compared to the competition. You’re selling shit at 0 dollars. It’s still shit and no one wants it.

And look, the Spain sales is Nintendo holding back stock, I’m not even joking. We know this because of the Japanese sales being capped at 40K weekly. They definitely shipped only a certain amount to different markets after launch. They do this to prep for the holiday.

And also, believe it or not consoles don’t peak in the first year. PS5 outselling the newest console isn’t shocking. And also Spain is such a small market. It’s a blip in the stats that doesn’t tell you much. It actually shows how weak the PS5 is. PS5 peak sales years can’t beat a new console in the big markets. It could only do so in very small markets. The Switch 1 beat the PS5 in every major market for a very long time. The Switch 1 outsold the PS5 almost 2 years straight every months after launch in the US. The biggest gaming market. Yet no one wrote articles about it. It was only recently that PS5 is leading in these charts due to Switch 1 aging out and Nintendo prepping to launch Switch 2 lol. Just like how no one writes articles about PS5 being third or fourth place in Japan every week since launch. The gaming press/some people/the internet tend to gloss over Sony’s obvious flopping. They use stock as an excuse a lot for the PS5 when the Switch outsold it, which was only true for a certain period. PS5 just has less demand. Less than Switch. Less than the PS4.

Switch 2 is a massive success the moment when we learn the name. That’s the honest truth.

>>722822639
Hit a word limit, but I’d like to add that Apple should be filing for bankruptcy right now for selling $2000 iPhones. Guess what? They’re doing fine.

The price argument is beyond silly at this point. The fact that people keep bringing it up is funny.

>>722822639

>>722817551
>the interesting part will be seeing how the wider market, which is more price sensitive
Okay what's gonna happen is Sony will kill off the PS5 to focus on PS6/handheld which will be expensive or very expensive and Nintendo's exclusives are stronger than ever. People can literally go PC/Nintendo and not lose out on anything.
Even for casuals they're now getting third party games because Nintendo got that support now, it's Playstation that's in a really shitty position and people in general don't seem to understand it. Sony relies heavily on a few franchises like COD/GTA/sports/live service slop. When that % goes towards Nintendo instead what's Sony supposed to do? Wish up great system sellers? It's just not gonna happen

>>722815493
When we knew they'd be dumping an unprecedented amount of stock at launch, everyone knew the launch was going to be huge. Even the Wii U had a big launch. What always mattered was whether it keeps selling and that is not looking so good right now. Even if it does pick up, there's not a chance in hell it comes anywhere close to the Switch. There's a fuckload of momentum against it, a ton of which is caused by Nintendo themselves who shows no signs of backing down and instead just keeps doubling down. And I hate to say it, but Nintendo games aren't even good anymore. They're purely coasting off their brand at this point while extracting as much money as they possibly can out of their biggest diehards and that is never sustainable.

>>722824331
>extracting as much money as they can
>not laiden with dlc or microtransactions like the standard elsewhere

You're a faggot, let's compare the evil Mario Kart World vs the saviour Sonic Crossworlds
Mario Kart World
No DLC, you pay the 1 time fee of $80 you get all the content the game has on day 1
There may be an expansion pass at some point in the future but you can be assured that the devs didn't work on content that the content developed during the games development was packed into the game and isn't being held back to sell to you peace meal, base game is 32 tracks and the expansion will be primarily track based
Sonic Crossworlds
>deluxe edition
>season pass
>minecraft dlc
>pre order bonuses
>cosmetic content packs
>probably another season pass next year
>most expansion content is in the form of playable characters and not playable tracks
>base game is 24 tracks
You faggots will endlessly jerk off this sort of shit and claim that Nintendo are the new disney hellbent on extracting money from it's braindead fans completely ignoring that most games these days come with hundreds of dollars of DLC, and most of it isn't even good, Sonic Crossworlds DLC, most of it's cost will go to licensing over just having more content.

30 tracks, but all tracks are made to be fit with the bigger connected world of Mario Kart World.

>>722825836
You're a fucking idiot if you think MKW isn't going to get a shitload of DLC. Just an utter braindead biased retard. The only way it doesn't is if Nintendo just gives up on it after they backhanded their users so hard after they bought the game with those shitty updates that they just never come back and the game dies.

It's releasing in an unfinished state regardless, the only differences is you have to wait far longer for it to be finished. And Nintendo is putting out the shittiest overpriced DLC these days on top of that. Tendies will argue until they're blue in face whenever Pokemon does anything bad that Pokemon is not Nintendo, but we all know if they get away with that $30 day 1 on disc DLC, modern Nintendo is going to follow suit with their own games.

>>722826060

Based on what exactly? You got any proof that it is unfinished and isn't just something you are making up due to how you feel about the game yourself?
I don't really care about Mario Kart personally as I got other shit to play but I am curious.

>>722827128
You are a tendie. Otherwise you wouldn't care about anyone criticizing Nintendo. Because Nintendo deserves it. Fanboys have this baffling notion that they can suck off a corporation but as long as they play on another system too that they aren't bootlickers. Not how it works.

>>722827156
>>MK8 had 32 tracks at launch
Ah yes, the game that launched with no real battle mode and sold it to you separately in a deluxe edition. Now that's the epitome of a finished product.

>>722827247

Then stop getting assblasted on their behalf. Easy. If you actually care about the games, you should want Nintendo to stop being rabid assholes and actually respect their audience.

>>722827246
Based on the fact that it is literally not finished because it's going to get far more content that expands the game. It's a tiresome trend in this industry that Nintendo has gleefully jumped on board with.

>>722827415
I didn't do any of that, I just showed that you speedread what the other anon typed and you got into an autistic fit thinking I'm a tendie for pointing out you didn't read it properly.

You mean the stuff that's clearly going to just be extra content to the game if you want more of it? Mario Kart World is clearly a finished game, regardless of what the extra content is.

>>722827024
This is true. I would never play that shit

>>722827473
>Based on the fact that it is literally not finished because it's going to get far more content that expands the game
You will have to phrase this better since practically every single game would be covered under this from the last 10+ years.

I'm going to get called out for trolling but I'm not.

This is my first Nintendo console in 20 years and I'm loving it. The games feel old school and refreshingly new at the same time, I think it goes to show how formulaic AAA has become.

I've had PS4 and PS5 and I got so burnt out on it. You open up the PS store and check the sales and front pages and it's been the same games front and center for the last 5 to 10 years. I have no idea how tf the masses haven't turned on them yet.

>>722827617
If a game gets DLC it's unfinished.
If a game doesn't get DLC it's abandoned.

>>722825836
>You faggots will endlessly jerk off this sort of shit
I didn't.
And I've got a bridge to sell you if you think World isn't going to get hundreds of dollars worth DLC when all is said and done. And none of it will ever go on sale and at the current rate will only increase in price, unlike every non-Nintendo game. In a few years you'll be able to get Crossworlds for $15 with all its content. In 5 years, World will still be $80 for the base game alone and could even be bumped up to $90 just because Nintendo found some excuse to do so.

>>722827650
Because most people don’t want to play games for literal babies. Mario and ubislop BOTW for example. Nor do they want to spend 80 dollars doing so

There are so fucking many games made these days that's not even remotely true. Indies and the rare AA are also the "new Nintendo". They're the only ones left that capture the better days of this hobby. Not to say indies can't also release unfinished games that get DLC later, but there's plenty that do, or at least update their games for free.

>>722827680
>In a few years you'll be able to get Crossworlds for $15 with all its content. In 5 years, World will still be $80 for the base game alone and could even be bumped up to $90 just because Nintendo found some excuse to do so.
I guess the main thing to take from this is that the online for Crossworld won't be as active as World even if it is cheaper in those 5 years.
>>722827742
So you went into a hissy fit and had incorrect information in your entire comment because you just hate people defending the GAME and not Nintendo?

Because the game is shit? Sure.
>In 5 years, World will still be $80 for the base game alone and could even be bumped up to $90 just because Nintendo found some excuse to do so.
Because $80 is what the game is worth in Nintendo's and the consumer's mind, so they will put down the dough, especially in this day and age where you have precious few games worth spending on.

>>722827832
>He's scraping the barrel so badly he has to imagine phone games
It must be going worse for you than I previously thought.

>>722827612
You could say that about anything. It could have five tracks and a credit sequence and people could argue it was a finished game. Fact of the matter is, they're still working on it and charging you for the rest of the content. That means it is literally an unfinished game until they stop doing that.
In many cases, that's not even that bad because the game also goes on sale and will get a definitive edition that will eventually be dirt cheap, but Nintendo doesn't believe in discounts or sales.

>>722827680
No, I stated that it will get DLC, but you're a retard if you think it's getting the kind of nickel and dime that every other game is laden with these days, I already pointed it out, it didn't have pre order bonuses, it didn't have day 1 dlc, it doesn't have nickel and dime dlc, it doesn't have cosmetic dlc, and given the history it's probably getting a reasonably sized expansion pass like Mario Kart 8 and Deluxe got, shit loads more content for a fraction of the price of the base game.
>In a few years you'll be able to get Crossworlds for $15 with all its content. In 5 years,
But what you posted is a prime example of a company taking their biggest fans to the cleaners, they charge them through the roof day 1 with shitty nickel and dime practices.

>>722827980
Yeah and they’re still better than anything you can find on Nintendo. I can get call of duty mobile right now and it’s free. You have to pay 10 dollars for a shitty tech demo and 80 dollars for a baby toy game

Indies that want to leech money just trap the game in Early Access hell these days.
A fair few indies that do make it out of early access and are popular enough get DLC too but does that mean the indie games are also not finished and not simply a new idea they wanted to make?
You can't just say many games are made that it's not true when there's so many games that do that you could name.
Ngl indie games that do free DLC are the real winners, AAA could never unless they have already charged you an arm and a leg

With the absolute state of modern Nintendo? Yo have way too much faith in them for how scummy they've gotten. Do not be surprised if they nickel and dime you, they've give you more than enough red flags to start expecting such and they've done it before. Hell, it actually won't even be nickel and diming, it'll be 5 to 10 dollars a pop. The DLC DKB got should've been free or $2 max, a nickel and dime charge, but instead of the microtransaction it was actually worth, it's a macrotransaction.

>>722828327
No anon, that means you need to pay $450 for 1 game then.
Even though the same people are saying they would do the exact same for GTA 6 because 'it's worth it'.
Make it make sense.

I never mentioned a single thing about MKW. You jumped in to try and use to defend Nintendo and deflect. Then you tried to pretend you weren't a Nintendo fanboy. So no, don't try to pretend otherwise, it's obvious what you are.

In your case it makes sense. You never had the Switch 1 so going for the S2 is a no brainer.

>>722828404
Are you retarded, Anon?

Are your PC games $2500 because you factor the cost of the computer into them? No?

If you want to play Mario Kart you've already decided you'll be buying the Switch 2. So you buy the Switch 2 that bundles with Mario Kart. It's $50, there's no reason to pay $80.

>>722828664
Following a chain sure is hard. Maybe you should go back to the actual first post.

Marvelous have been reliant on Nintendo hardware for a long time, they are like Level 5 in the aspect that they'd rather be anywhere else but they know how things work, hence them actually putting out physical games. I wonder if Level 5 are smart enough, they always manage to fuck up a good thing.

The entire notion that "nintendo doesn't sell a console" is enough of a joke to begin with that I'd rather poke holes at your hypocrisy.

>>722828817
Most games have moved to making Amiibo content unlockable in the base game, this isn't even remotely the same thing, and if I buy a nickel and dime DLC I just get that DLC, if I buy an Amiibo I get a toy, and I'm sure Nintendo has the data to show that most people just collect Amiibo and that the content they unlock is of little value to most users.

>>722828817
amiibos barely even do anything in-game anymore. years since a costume or whatever was locked behind them. you're paying for a figurine and 10 star bits in a nearly 20 year old game

>>722828915
Apple sells consoles too by that logic. They’ve got more games than Nintendo ever will too

>>722828896
yeah when they put out their next $80 game just buy a new bundle again like a good boy tendie

>>722828875
because the idea of getting a controller for your phone is part of the whole mobile gaming thing. jesus christ you're a fucking retard, how did you not manage to put that together? are you indian too?

>>722828843
Literally nobody said it was bombing either only that sales have dropped off. Nor have you provided any numbers that it's selling well beyond the stock being frontloaded.

>>722828910
Because the Switch 2 numbers are what Nintendo is able to ship to Japan. Lotteries are still held there even now. The numbers have declined not because the demand isn't there, but because Nintendo is struggling to meet it.

>>722828946
It's nickel and diming. It's like CoD or any other such game charging you for in-game consumables or experience you could otherwise get by playing the game. That's what nickel and diming is.

Well above the quality of a happy meal, and you don't even have the $40 ones yet, and even then like I stated, it can be reasonably expected that Nintendo know that the primary value of these is for collectors hence games making their unlocks unlockable through other means.
Your opinion of Amiibo's doesn't shape how they exist in reality or how they are perceived by most users, and that's what you fundamentally don't understand, because you can't understand because you are fucking stupid.

>>722829376
The seller for this is Nintendo isn't it?

>>722829114
okay nothing in my post warranted that response. it USED to be nickel-and-diming when you were getting something you couldn't get anywhere else.
now it's just nintendo flicking a penny at you saying "thanks for buying the shitty plastic, moron". it's WORSE value than the previous nickel and diming scheme was.

There was a lot of negativity around the Switch when it first launched, as well. It's the usual onslaught of journos and youtubers riding the algorithms that favor negativity, and loud console warriors eating it up.
I'm not trying to go all "b-but Sony!" here, but I do wonder how the discourse will go for the portable PS6 when it's even more expensive and digital-only. I suspect it won't get a fraction of the deranged discourse. Other current portables don't seem to, either.

>>722829749
Then you'd see that the Amiibo are higher quality.

That is not what it means. Nickel and diming is charging you for tiny bits of content. Typically with low prices. It doesn't have to be unique content.

As someone who got one for free and has old happy meal toys like the gold plated pokemon cards, happy meal toys are better. Or at least they used to be. Maybe they aren't anymore, wouldn't be surprised, but that's not exactly praise for nintendo.

Yeah, for 8 Deluxe they just resold the same game that was released 4 years prior. Also they later released more circuits straight of a fucking MOBILE GAME, without even improving the design or graphics.
Third, it costs 90€ in Europe for the physical edition.

Pathetic.

>>722830873

>>722830873
It's the Japan only version being sold above the cost of the worldwide version. You're intentionally mixing the two to justify a scalper.
How scummy can you get.

>>722830605
Europe being poor isn't a fault of Japan
8 Deluxe is what it says it is, it's a Deluxe re-release of an existing game, or did you not understand that part.
The Booster Course was like $25, it was less than $1 a course and a fraction of the cost of the base game which had the same amount of courses, and it contained new courses for the pack too.
The game is available second hand, Nintendo rarely do but they do put games on sales and you can finally buy the game in a bundle and get a discount, but Nintendo not reducing their prices through the floor is what the rest of the industry should have kept with, Nintendo doesn't devalue games like everyone else and thus doesn't have to find a million other ways to extract wealth from the buyers, they don't do a mountain of small DLC content per game, Mario Kart World doesn't have cosmetic outfits, or experience boosts or any of that other shit you find elsewhere.
