Soon it'll be almost entire year since last Nintendo first party direct.Them relying on third party for the first year of switch 2, was clearly a mistake
>>737316416They are trying so hard to be like Sony.
>>737316416The last first party Direct was September you idiot
>>737316474Worse, they're trying to be like Disney. They're not a video game company anymore, they're an IP company.
most people don't need new 100 games every year. they're fine with like 1 or 2 and play those
>>737316474Can you blame them? Sony is successful, popular, their consoles always sell worldwide. Nintendo on the other hand doesn't have any of that, except maybe in Japan.
>>737316416>relying on 3rd party directsThey're not relying on them the new CEO just wants directs dead to force people to use his gay app. The only reason we got third party directs was cause the third parties whined about not getting coverage.
>>737316549Nintendo is putting out more games than any other company atm >>737316680Switch is the best selling console in North America, and the switch 2 has already outsold anything in history in less then a year
>>737316789Valve doesnt even make games anymore and they have more on their storefront than Nintendo, so that doesnt really matter. And the Switch 2 has been losing to a 5 year old PS5 with almost nothing
>>737316912>on their storefrontFascinating. So how many games have they made this year?
>>737317003Why does it matter? They are highly successful without making many games
>>737317080>nintendo doesn’t make games>they do, more then any other company >yah but the steam store is really big!Lol
>>737317153So of what significance is making a lot of exclusives?
>>737317256>so what significance is having the biggest IPs in the industry, selling truckloads of consoles, and being the only company not closing studios or sunsetting gamesI dunno, you tell me
>>737317342What does it matter when it is losing to a 5 year old PS5 with almost nothing on it?
>>737317407Because it’s already outsold the PS5 yoy in less than 12 months
>>737316416There was one in september last year retard.
>>737316580if you play 1 or 2 games a year get the fuck off this board it's for hobbyists
>>737317452Why is it even a close fight? Why are consumers picking the PS5 as much or almost as much as the Switch 2?
>>737317675>/v/>playing games
>>737317741It’s not close at all. I can’t even begin to imagine how you would think that
>>737317832Yes it is close. PS5 just swept the USA market in January and February, and PS5 also won the holiday quarter last year.
>>737317920They didn’t win last quarter, and nintendo won every month than those two. You’re really showing your lack of understanding of basic math
>>737318002Why did PS5 sell 8.0M units in last quarter of 2025 and Nintendo only sold 7.01M Switch 2s?
>>737318083Why do you keep focusing on two months out of 9?
>>737318449Because the Switch 2 fell off and PS5 had better momentum in January and February following said holiday season.
>>737318598>the switch 2 fell offuh huh
>>737318641That doesnt mean it hasnt fallen off since last quarter. PS5 has consistently been beating it in 2026.
>>737318673which console sold the most in march?
>>737318758Have to wait until Wednesday to see US numbers
>>737318850why do you need US numbers? its already getting its skull caved in in japan
>>737316416>MUH DUHREKTcry harder, bitchnigger griftuber snoygger nigger faggot, cry HARDER, i love your fucking tearsbased fucking chadtendo taking the bread out your dirty nigger mouths
>>737318897Because Japan isnt indicative of the entire world
>>737316416They had no choice, they don't have a failed console's games to fall back on and game development is slow as hell now. Get used to this drought.
>>737318962>t-that country doesnt matterlolreminder that the CEO literally begged nippon to buy the PS5 because its doing so poorly over there
>>737319081I didnt say it didnt matter, im just saying its not the entire story
DAE think Switch 2 reminds them of the Wii U?
>>737319115>its not the entire story>the other months dont matter, STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM ONLY JANUARY AND FEBRUARY COUNTlmao
>>737319172PS5 can lose Japan and still win worldwide
>>737319187with another price increase and zero games? not likely
>>737319239The price increase didnt actually reflect in stores until mid april despite it supposedly happening on the 2nd.
>>737319325I dont see how that changes what I said
>>737319392The price increase is a non issue for march since the ps5 surge in sales was before the price increases took effect. and how many consoles sell 92m units without games? xbox isnt selling that
>>737319494>The price increase is a non issue not even reading the rest of your cope
>>737319560Because you took it out of context.
>>737319638>sales are good because people panic bought before the price went upgreat, so sony just needs to keep raking up the cost and their sales will be fine
>>737319735well that wasnt exactly the point. i was just saying the price hike wont hurt March sales figures
>>737319848who said anything about march specifically, retard? if the price hike happened in april march doesnt matter
>>737319901 we were talking about months and you still took that out of context. you saw the price increase is a non issue and ran with it, ignoring the rest of the sentence
>>737320049>the price increase that didnt happen in march didnt effect march saleswow, shocking
>>737316416Guys... my great-granduncle five-times removed passed me a secret memo stating that Q3 2027 is going to see an absolute glut of epic releases. So let's all stop shitting our diapers and wait patiently like good little boys/girls.>>737316580This. Absolutely this.
Reminder that this is the last possible week for the new StarFox game to be announced.>but there's one more weekNext week is Golden Week in Japan. Clock is ticking, furniggers.
>>737317080Highly success MY DICK fag
>>737320486no one gives a shit, fuck off
>>737320913This. As a lifelong (three years) Nintendo supporter, even the idea of video games fills me with a tempestuous rage. Bless Nintendo for sparing me from even the pre-announcement that one might be released.
>>737321190releasing more games then any other company in the industry
Oh look, another>Caco threadRaped n gaped.-472646 karma to ziony, fraid so
>>737316416Third party reliance wouldn't have been a big problem without 95% of third party games being Game Key cards, people hate those fucking things. The switch 1 relied on third parties and sold so much, Sony conjured 5 million PS2s from the air so the switch wouldn't outsell it.
>>737321690no one who isn't a gay retarded nigger gives a shit about game key cards, seethe cope and dilate, snoygger faggot
>>737321690>people hate those fucking thingsPretty sure everyone except shitposters fucking love gamecards
>>737316538So it's been seven months. That rounds up to a year. Arguably two years because it spans 2025 to 2026. So it's been basically two years since the last Direct. Nintendo needs to get its act together.
>>737317675How many games do you own that you haven't beat, much less even played? I'd wager you could go decades on just games you already own, not even counting replays.
