Costco is having to heavily discount them as they are not selling and they still have inventory from months ago.

Why aren't Switch 2 fans buying their exclusives?
>>
That's still twice as much as you should pay for one video game.
>>
>>736688887
Air Riders did way better than Air RIde, and Prime 4 is one it's way to becoming the best selling in the Prime series.

Cope.

Holy copium, neither version even sold over 1m

Vinny streamed MK8 on and off for years. He dropped Air Riders after a week.
>>
>>736689117
Vinny's a fucking faggot. Harman Smith plays way more games than he does.

HAHAHAH TENDIES DON'T BUY GAMES

Switch 2 games seem to usually not have legs if they're not stapled to systems.
>>
>>736688887
>why is nobody buying a lazy port of a Gamecube game that sold like ass and a sequel in a series that has historically underperformed and was rebooted at least twice?

It's a mystery.
>>
Hey you shut the fuck up about Air Riders right now you little bitch. That game is the one and only reason to own a Switch 2.
>>
>this twitter screenshot means its flopping!
Aren't you tired of posting this shit every month since the Switch 2 came out?
>>
>>736689882
If this was Playstation or Xbox you'd be doing the same exact thing you hypocritical drone.
>>
>>736689049
>Air Riders did way better than Air RIde
WOW epic accomplishment there, tendie!
How many units did the GC sell again?
20M?
>>
>>736688887
Costco is a big box store that often sells things cheaper because you have to pay a subscription fee to enter. Hope that clears it up OP
>>
>>736690317
If this was Playstation or Xbox there wouldn't be any threads about it you Nintendo-deranged faggot.
>>
>>736690720
>amerimutts have to tip to enter a grocery store
lol
lmao even
>>
>>736689064
anon, combined that means they outsold every prime game besides 1.

Wow and mario kart is a mind numbing slog.

Kirby is exclusively a Japan-oriented franchise (hence why it's good)
who cares if west*ids don't care, that only makes it better

Post your 3x3.

Not a single Kirby game is worth more than 15 bucks
>>
>>736688887
more like the switch 2 flopped, havent heard or seen anyone talk about it or play it. lately its been people going back to retro stuff
>>

It's never like that at my local Costco

Fuck why isnt there a cosco here?
>>
>>736693398
Prime 4's budget is more than 1, 2, and 3 combined and doubled

It was in dev hell for like 8 years

fifty fucking us dollars? should be like 5.99

I still support my costco because they kept their DEI policies and still have the $1.50 hotdog meal.
>>
>>736695898
>because they kept their DEI policies
How the fuck is that a good thing you moron?
>>
>>736695982
Because it makes you seethe.
>>
>>736695515
and? that has no effect on consumers. money spent in dev hell is just a lost cause, you can't expect the game to magically sell better just because it had a troubled development.
>>
>>736688887
>air riders on sale
>not in canada
i sleep
>>
>>736696098
The point is it's a flop moron (and the game also just sucks regardless of sales). 1m is a massive success for a solo dev but colossal failure for CoD.
>>
>>736689695
i own a switch 2 but i'm not paying $70 for it. ludicrous price when i paid $50 for mkw.
>>
>>736696194
sure, but metroid prime isn't "call of duty". it's a niche series where 1m sales is roughly the expected amount.
>>
>>736688887
>black star
they're dumping their inventory.
>>
>>736696414
>roughly the expected amount
>didn't even recoup a quarter its budget
Lol sure bud
>>
>>736694507
Dreamland 3 and Super Metroid happen to be two of my favorite games but I'm not fucking delusional so I can admit that Air Riders did not do well and Prime 4 is shitty.
>>
>snoys crying about nintendo
>again
>>
>>736695516
>30% off
>not a heavy discount
Right...
>>
>>736696695
Prime 4 went through dev hell, but there's no way it had a 240m budget. this is nintendo, it probably had a 30m budget even after all the dev hell. oh and don't forget Prime remastered was made as part of that development hell, so all the profits from that game are part of the "was it worth it" calculation for Prime 4 too.
>>
>>736688887
Air Riders easily made it's money back. MP4 with it's 10 years dev time and restarts never stood a chance.
>>
>>736697410
>it probably had a 30m budget even after all the dev hell
Holy fucking delusion. Retro has a lot of employees
>>
>>736697639
they didn't when they started making prime 4. right after the studio transfer got announced retro went on a hiring spree.
>>
>>736688887
>50$
so the price of a normal game? Shits still not worth it for those titles lmao
>>
>>736688887
We're Costco Guys, of course we're Cubesnoys who hate modern NIntendo
>>
>>736688887
That's still too much. Air riders is a $30 game at most.
>>
>>736697734
They started around 150 at beginning of development, and have 200 now.

Even salaries alone (no marketing or anything else), that's over 200m
>>
>>736688887
>Game is now 50 fucking buckaroos

>This is considered a heavy discount

Am I in hell or something?
>>
>>736698139
>200 employees over 6 years is 200m
you really think the average retro studios employee makes ~$170k a year? the average salary is probably less than a quarter of that.
>>
>>736698224
kike one yea
>>
>>736698139
>>736698321
Also, when you look at Retro's output for the decade before Prime 4 development, they were bleeding even more money and made... no games at all. So once again nintendo probably sees prime 4 as an improvement over Retro's previous output of nothing.
>>
>>736698321
>vidya devs in USA
Average salary is about 120k, might be lower as it's Texas as opposed to Cali
>>
>>736699420
Texas is the third world so of course income would be lower there.
