Nintendo Has Everything to Prove Again in 2026 - Bloomberg>Nintendo Co.’s Switch 2 got off to a scorching start this summer>But those halcyon days now appear short-lived, as the company’s stock suffered its worst December in many years as doubts and concerns stirred, primarily around escalating component costs. >Nintendo now has to dust itself off, after giving up all the gains from a masterfully executed console launch, and prove itself all over again.>But there’s a warning sign for Nintendo that emerged just as this year was closing: the Switch 2 lost its sales crown in the US to Sony Group Corp.’s PlayStation 5 in November. A combination of Sony’s pricing, games library and more powerful hardware for living-room play resonated better with American shoppers in the pivotal month for holiday sales, bumping the Switch 2 off the bestseller perch for the first time since it went on sale.Brutal. Not only is Nintendo getting strangled by rising component prices, but it’s also getting beaten in sales by the PS5… how can Nintendo recover from this and make sure the Switch 2 doesn’t become the Wii U 2?
You posted this again and everyone shat on you for posting Sony marketing.
maybe they should try making games again instead of toys for retarded mantoddlers
>>729878042Game of the decade just came out, retard.
>>729877943What does your mom look like?
>>729878103>toy for retarded mantoddlers
>>729878613Would.
>>729878103yeah e33 its really good
They'll prove once again, that they are the only developers releasing games for their system
Just saying OP I remember snoyfags posting shit like this in December and January back in 2017/18 and the PS4 proceeded to get continually raped and gaped, and so far the Switch 2's first year has been exactly the same from the autistic screeching about pricing and piracy to losing its first Black Friday
>>729877747Snoyalists need to lose their jobs faster already
>>729877747Nintendo fans always cite that the ps4 beat the switch in its first or whatever holiday season but the switch 1 also wasn’t the fastest selling console ever either though. That’s a hell of a falloff for the record breaking switch 2.
Everything is more expensive. People can afford less, and it keeps getting worse. Nintendo better step it the fuck up right now. Can't believe they aren't solving the economy.
>>729880434sound like cope
>>729880734Amerifats have plenty of disposable income, they just aren’t choosing to use it on Nintendo consoles and software
>>729880969Exactly. How are tendies going to sit there and blame the economy when the ps5 is nearly the same price and it outsold the switch 2? Also Matt Piscatella posted images of Nex playgrounds selling for 500 on eBay or some shit
>>729881573>raise price of system>black friday comes around>put it on "discount", returning it to original price>SALE SALE SALE GET IT NOW>massive sales spikeCome on anon, it's the oldest trick in the book. Amazon does that shit on Prime day all the time, normalfags always fall for it.
>>729881939So is that a good excuse for the switch 2 not holding on to its momentum
>>729877747retards be buyin, dawg, 4chan can't change cattle consuming current thing
>>729882420It’s holding onto momentum alright. Still the fastest selling console of all time
>>729881573>ps5 is nearly the same pricelollmao
>>729883048… that got outsold by the PS5 2:1 during the holidays
>>729883048>Still the fastest shipping console of all timeFTFY
>>729877747>Be Flopakawa>See demand is high in Japan for new system>Incorrectly assume that this will be the same for the rest of the world>Yen is REALLY fucking weak and not getting any better>But that's OK, America and Europe are excited too so we can subsidize the money we lose on Japanese sales from the gaijin>Price it at 50,000 yen even though it should be 78,000 yen given exchange rates>Also we should make Mario Kart the launch title because it sold the best on the Switch >Send out "Sold Out" signs because its going to do so well>Send most units to US and Europe because they need to subsidize Glorious Nihon>Well that's odd, it's not really selling out>Well we'll just hold back some supply to make it LOOK like it's selling out>Finally release them after Bananza but sales are slowing down>No one is buying Bananza either>That's OK, Pokemon will save it>Lowest launch for a Pokemon title. Most people just buy the Switch 1 version anyway>That's OK Christmas is right around the corner>Beaten by PS5 on Black Friday>AND both Switch units sell 10% less than just the Switch 1 by itself last year>Oh fuck>Retailers start dropping the price to get these bricks off the shelf>But it's selling in Japan so it should be fine>Remember you priced it really fucking low in Japan and you needed those gaijin sales to save your profit margin>Also RAM is starting to get a bit pricy>Investors now worried that sales have slowed and the already overpriced system is going to get more expensive.>Its OK its OK the games will save us>Mario Tennis and Nigger Emblem are your only notable games next yearLeast he'll get to focus on his family more when he gets fired I mean when he voluntarily steps down to take care of somethings.
>>729883245Same as Switch getting outsold by PS4 in November 2017 and 2018 (PS4 sold 2x more units than PS5 this year).Same as PS5 getting outsold by Switch in November 2021.Same old, same old.Still the fastest selling console of all time.
>>729877747Old article, OP is coping. Playstation has zero games
>>729883952It’s a new article from less than a week ago
>>729877747Getting outsold by PS5 over the holidays is irrefutable proof that all Nintendo needs to do is go back to the $299 baseline to make S2 a success. They are pricing themselves out of the market. Get the literal accountant out of the presidents chair and hire a former developer.
>>729883514>Lowest launch for a Pokemon title. Most people just buy the Switch 1 version anywayZA surpassed Arceus and 50% sales were on S2.You lost
>>729884585>Getting outsold by PS5 over the holidaysFunny how you haven't posted evidence of this.
>>729884585Snoy, why can’t you stop yourself from lying even for a single second?PS5 sold more during November (not holdiays) due to bargain bin Black Friday clearance sales (and Switch 2 was still the fastest selling console of all time).It’s a normal thing that happened to Switch 1 in 2017 and PS5 in 2021. Both got outsold by consoles that were longer on the market.Switch 2 was back on top in December.
