>>737462187Exclusive games, good exclusive games on top of that + being the cheapest device around. Shocking, I know
Games. The video kind.
Nintendo's biggest ppi screen yet!
Their audience, millennials and older zoomers, make money instead of taking it from their parents Consoles have no new blood
>>737462187I want one of these but I'll never be able to afford one now...
It actually has games
>>737462187Adult fanboys rushing to buy asap
Can you imagine how fun open world mario kart would be for a kid? Jaded adults crying that they're not the target audience need to get over themselves
>>737462904>almost out for a year>still has people "rushing to buy it"Sounds like a success
it's a status symbol similar to the iPhonepeople will buy it even if they can't afford it
>>737462679You can say the same for every platform, dipshit
>>737462187Legacy.I mean, at least partially, I think it's unlikely it'll sell more than it's predecessor, but anything above 80mil is a big hit.
>>737462187Nintendo stuck to what works.
>>737462941Even my dipshit little cousins had trouble with the rubber banding and items issues in mkw. No complaints in 8d
>>737462187manchildren
>>737462941Nintendo adults are the ones who were losing their shit when this game was announced.
>>737463010now that's a cope if I ever saw one
>>737463485Nintendo being successful mindbreaks a lot of people on this board.
>>737463467No shit what kid can afford $700 plus tax plus tip plus subscription plus mystery crate items
>>737463250Not trueMobile will become an entry point for pc gaming soon
>>737462338Sir, we're talking about the S2, not the S1
>>737463467Literally no one on earth but you uses the term "Nintendo adults", you out yourself as the schizo brazilian every time you use it
>>737463593S2 performed very similarly its first year compared to s2. They have big plans. You just have to believe
>>737462187Because it plays S1 games a little better. Exact same reason the PS5 was a smash success
>>737463623This is the delusion I'm talking about. Anons claim they can tell specific people apart but damn near everytime it's some retarded headcanon they're attached to and they go around accusing countless people of being some imaginary boogeyman they've been obsessed with.
>>737463565>Not true>PC has people buying them on their own with their own money>mobileshit has people buying them on their own with own money including credit. As well as those codes for them>consoles have grown ups buying them on their own with their own moneyYou need to get out of your bubble; entertainment isn't parents paying everything for their kids. Those kids already grew up and pay or get in debt for their entertainment by themselves>Mobile will become an entry point for pc gaming soonNot true since there are countries where mobile made pc obsolete, if anything it can become a entry point for others to follow suit
>>737463593>Sir, we're talking about the S2Correct
>>737462187Same thing that happened to the PS5 - its predecessor was insanely popular and these platforms are benefiting from the residual momentum.
>>737463775You'll survive
>>737463780Valve is making it possible to play pc games on arm in case you don't know
>>737462187>switch 2Companies all over the world are buying stock for their stores because nintendo is popular, That doesn't mean people is buying them but whatever, Also china buys a lot and pirate them
>>737463897Won't matter; those niche moves have only drones caring about it. Mobile is not regarded by the wide audience as a gaming device, several pushes for it from manufacturers with no avail are evidence. They'll stay as f2p and gacha machines as for "gaming" goes and don't be stupid trying to imply pc vegans will somehow adopt smartphone to play games because that shit definetly ain't happening aside the most fanboy valve drones
Winners win.
>>737464045I google phone controller 5 million resultsI connect any controller and it just works, especially given steam input down the line Don't be stupid, pc is all about expanding the possibilities and this will give all those phone only people a big appetiser for getting an actual pc
Nintendo adults are even worse than disney adults. I remember back in the day, kids in high school used to bully those who liked anime and gamecube. You gotta played ps2, gta, ea sports game and go outside and have fun.Now even the cool kids are watch anime. Of course, 4chan weirdos were the ones being bullied. Peter Pan kids.
Games.
>>737464289That's nice dear
>>737464025>Still with the shipped not sold copeHi Deen, how long has it been since you last saw your family?
they implied it would have games, so I bought onekinda bummed it has no games desu
>>737464242>I google phone controller 5 million resultsEmulation. >Implying the small amount of controllers and chinese controller are any indication of weightThere are billions of smartphones around, the argument falls flat putting numbers in the scale. People doesn't use smartphones for game, only games that have weight in there are gacha due their revenue numbers.>Don't be stupid, pc is all about expanding the possibilities*featuresStop being dumb; people already have a PC at home. PC is not meant to predate other platforms and every device fills a need for the consumer.
>>737462187Either it actually succeeded because it probably actually did, the switch was popular. Or, they're lying through their teeth about their console sales just like Sony and Microsoft do. They're a console manufacturer, they have every incentive to lie. And no you Tendie retard whose going to half read what i wrote and reply to damage control, I'm not a sony fag, actually read my post before you deflect on reading a single line of criticism. I just don't give Nintendo the golden pass. I shouldn't have to type this disclaimer but you new age fans are a SPECIAL form of RE-TARD.
>>737464508sure baldy
>>737464508Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with its loads of content isn't enough for you?!
>>737464508
>>737464613>spent most of his deflecting criticismfag
>>737464613>they're lying through their teeth about their console sales just like Sony and Microsoft do. They're a console manufacturer, they have every incentive to lie.Nintendo doesn't lie when it comes to numbers, that's Sony. Literally nothing to gain from early reports
>>737462187Games. Question, is there any way Sony can create a niche market for themselves with the PS6 Canis using their Japan Studio Spirit initiative and their PS1, PS2, and PSP western IP legacy, or that next to impossible?
>>737464613>MicrosoftXbox doesn't report numbers because Xbox doesn't sell. Xbox is a dead, irrelevant brand. I still question why it gets brought up from time to time anymore.
>>737464819We can only hope. But let's be honest. They'll stick to Cinematic Experiences™ and piggyback off MTXs and gacha as always.
>>737464613t. sony fag
>>737464695If you don't fucking say it, you get the same regurgitated brainrot reply from some 15-28 year old malding soifag who thinks Nintendo, a multibillion dollar faceless corporation, are their friends. Its literally the same reply every time. So I cut it off and the manchild faggots STILL GET angry like i insulted their cum encrusted daki that stands on its own from over use.
>>737462187Games.It's always the games.
>>737464898Say stupid shit, get stupid hit. Grow a pair.
>>737464819I know it’s impossible to discuss that but I’m really intrigued in how they will approach itOf course it will be digital only and if that’s the case, how is it gonna get games? Are they bringing back the PS4/vita scheme? Or they will force everyone to double dip? And if so, are the games costing the same despite the compromises? And if they need to check it you have the digital license, how is it different than the Portal?It won’t have exclusive games for it, Sony can’t even push out games for the ps5 at a regular pace, imagine now having to split production into two devices, so what are they selling it with?
>>737464819>Japan Studio Spirit initiativewhat's this? have they announced a japan studio revival? don't give me hope
>>737464882I don't know, Herman Hulst lost a lot of power and now must report to Hideaki Nishino, which is why a lot of things Hulst did is getting pushed back and why Sony is making a native handheld again while bringing back a lot of their old Japanese and western IPs Jim Ryan and Hulst abandoned. Now, there is no way in hell, Sony is beating Nintendo's Switch 2, but if they fix their first-party output to get us out of this western AAA slop we've been getting since the PS4, they may gain a niche. But Sony did lost the third-party war to Nintendo and Valve, so there is that.
>>737464969I'm very interested in what Sony's going to do, the PS6 handheld isn't a guarantee for me yet like the Switch 2 OLED and Steam Deck 2 are, but if Sony plays their cards right, I'll add the PS6 handheld to my list as well.
>>737464898Sorry bud. Nintendo is my team, my colors, my friend. I will support them until I die. I'm sorry your friend lost to my friend. But now you can rest easy, the war is over for you.
>>737464819>is there any way Sony can create a niche market for themselvesNot at all. They were built on mainstream appeal and relied on 3rd party driven model instead of make strong, lasting foundation with their own IPs. Sony has only one course of action to fix itself; exclusive second party games, which is the exact same type of game that made PS successful to begin with.>>737464879They do but rarely because they're terrible. IIRC it was them reporting the Series sold like 2 millions worldwide in one year
>>737465009Sony's using Team Asobi, XDEV Japan who have the old talent from Japan Studios, and third-party licensing in Japan, to bring back their own Japanese IPs as PlayStation exclusives and make new IPs to push the PS6, mainly for the handheld. Sony wants to bring back that indie/AA spirit they lost with their dumb western push.
>>737464969From the "leaks" the PS6 handheld is going to play PS5 games, which means there's going to be a lot of PS5/PS6 games for years to come and most likely digital only. It will play all of the games coming out for four to five years before PS6 gets their own exclusives
>>737465014Herman's out and while the Japanese branch is taking more control, the California branch still has power and they'll use their influence to do what worked for them before. Cinematic Experiences. Keep in mind too that unless there was a total reboot of executive branches, the same decision makers remain. The same decision makers who thought 12 live services were a good idea.
>>737465226Sony's pretty pissed that the Californians have wasted a lot of their money, they've been pulling back on them a lot. I wonder what will happen if Marathon keeps failing for them and Fairgame$ shits the bed as hard as Concord did.
>>737462187I cant stop buying them
>>737464289>brown third world ESL seething at nintendoEvery time
>>737462725If you can't afford a Switch 2, you can't afford the rest of the game industry. Get a job or just play your backlog you faggot
>>737465314I hate to be contrarian on /v/, I know but it will take way more for Sony of Japan to seize control from the America branch. Like it or not I don't but the cinematic era was successful for Sony and at this point, their audience is trained to experience dad sims and Ubisoft clones. They can spice up their schedule with smaller titles and hopefully their budgets can manage the break even point, but I can already see the eye rolls from Sony fanboys when something "Japanese" is on the screen.
>>737463554nigger it's been almost an yearwhy are you still telling the same lies?
>>737465609...so much for the inclusive right
>>737465197And cost at minimum $800
>>737462187Toddlers in a demonic cult.
>>737465197We’ve hit the ceiling on graphics. From now on Sony is just going to push AI features instead of graphical leaps.
>>737465645Answer his question
>>737462941I played Mario Kart 64 as a kid and I got bored super quickly.
>>737462187ps5 and xbox one are literally just bad computers
>>737465192gonna wait to see what they make but that sounds like good ideas. maybe a new JRPG or puzzle platformer
>>737464819If the PS6 slim is cheap then it will sell since Windows sucks shit. Otherwise consoles might be dead
>>737465694The game audience is 20yo on the average
>>737465694>said the tranime
>>737465702I don't think the Japanese are that obsessed with AI slop.
>>737465694
Does that bother you?Why?
>>737465828t. Reddit
>>737465623Well, at least, they realized even on their western side, they need to push for first-party AA games that are focused heavily on gameplay, ditches the realism, and are even trying to make multiple family-friendly mascots for both the west and Japan. It's a slow shift away from their annoying normalfag era.
>>737465809Modern 20 year olds are basically non-sentient.
>>737464819>Question, is there any way Sony can create a niche market for themselves with the PS6No need to. They already have the fifa/gta normalfag market cornered.
>>737465702>their big new thing is DLSS 5 but on a consolei wonder how that will play out
>>737465916Normalfags will not buy a PS6 if the PS5 plays those games well enough. And kids only play Roblox and Free Fire on their phones, they ain't gonna get into digital Sportball.
>>737465904Hope for the best, expect the worst.
>>737466039Sony makes more money from game copies sold rather than hardware so it is alright. Also normalfags love to jump into the new shiny box every time anyway.
>>737462187Games>"B-but it doesn't have games"yes it does>"B-but I don't like these games"Other people do>"STOP BOOTLICKING!"cry harder
>>737466219That depends on the games being cool. Sony shafted their own first party game division with live service slop, so now they depend on GTA6 not being a disaster. They haven't had a big game since Ragnarok.
I wonder what grizzo, next level games, EPD 1-10 are making
>>737466615My predictions:>Grizzo is remaking both Zelda Oracles>NLG is making Luigi’s Mansion 4>EPD1 is supporting Fortune Waves>EPD10 is making Maker 3
>>737463897the deck is still under 5mil sales global.shut up retard.
>>737462187Manchildren
>people wanted a more powerful switch >it’s out >people buy it it’s that simple
>>737464898way too much cope snoy.stay mad20mil in ten months.you lost
>>737462187Hybrid console. They finally stopped splitting their sales between one handheld and one TV console, where the more successful one has to redeem the disappointing one. Switch 2 is selling about as well as the 3DS did at launch. 3DS had 75 million lifetime sales. We'll see if the Switch 2 can muster the software to get there.>>737465747I think this is a big part of it. Nintendo won the console war for good last gen, and Sony and Xbox are pretty much bowing out of it. Nintendo is the only company with any 1st party exclusives people will actually buy a console for, and being a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the alternatives makes it a no-brainer for clueless parents trying to buy a console for their kids.
>>737465670kill yourself saucy.you triple nigger
>>737466615EPD4 better be making a ring fit adventure 2and EPD 7 is doing some heavy lifting this year making both rhythm heaven groove and Tomodachi life EPD3 could be making anything, no one knows
Do we have a source for these numbers?
>>737462187I bought a Switch 2 for the same reason I bought a PS5 at launch, the promise of future games.I actually did buy quite a few PS5 games(*now also on PC).I'm glad that the timed exclusivity for games like Nioh is finally leaving Playstation though so I can grab more games on PC day one. I'll grab FF7R3 on PC too.
>>737467130Nintendo posts quarterly numbers for all their hardware and software sales. OP made an assumption rounded up; it's reported at 17.37 million at end of year.
>>737466615God I'd kill for sequels of 3D World and Captain Toad
>>737466615ARMS 2!!!
>>737462187It has games, simple as.
>>737466116I want to believe
>>737467290I see. I thought 20m sounded a little high.
>>737466615>new rhythm heaven gameNeat
>>737462187>Console with games sold a lot of consoles and gamesThat's crazy, dude
>>737465598I'm a western European, brother. Not that I consider being black or brown is a bad thing, I have 0 racism in me.
Sad to see how /pol/'s racism leaks out. Racism cannot be tolerated outside that shithole.
>>737470262I tolerate racism
>>737462187more shocking the PS5 keeps selling with no actual games
>>737470327I don't. I will always be pro-human. I understand that some people, specially evangelicals from USA, rejoice at killing innocent children if they're brown.But I will always be against racism and violence.
>>737466963>EPD1 making Fortune WavesYou retarded faggot. FE is IS. Not any in-house team at Nintendo.
>>737463593Switch 1 has reached a level of market saturation where it doesn't matter much that it's still available and is cheaper. It's not gonna be flying off shelves now since pretty much everyone who wants one already has one
>>737471037Supporting, when did he say making bruh
>>737462187AAAAAIIIEEEEEE!!!! KAZ HIRAI!!! CHAD WARDEN!!! ANYONE SAVE ME AAAAAAAA!!!
>>737468558They sold 1M in USA and another in Japan since then, it’s safe to assume they already reached it
>>737465192The last time sony showed their audience that they still totally care for Japanese games, was a presentation about ForspokenI'm not hopeful
The only ones complaining were broke third worlders who were never the target demographic for video games in the first placeThe target demographic, america and japan, is buying it in mass because they all love it and aren't so miserable to think $450 is unaffordable
>>737462187Why do niggas on /v/ get so angry about people buying and enjoying video games?
>>737472454Don't forget about Europe
>>737472590>why does /v/ hate video games?it's one of the oldest questions
>>737472590broke "people" are subhumansthey can't create anything of value or feel empathy, they only feel resent and want to drag everyone down to their level
>>737472590third worlders and sour grapes
>>737472742this
>>737464819Unlikely, but I would admit that a hypothetical PS handheld would interest me if>PS2/3 era franchises return>Plenty of full fledged 3rd party exclusives>Generally affordable, not spending +$600 on a handheld>More AA and Indie tier first party games alongside their AAA bullcrap I don’t care about>Steady flow of exclusives, not a desert for most of the year>Almost fully backwards compatibleZero chance of any of this happening btw.
>>737462187Mass marketing and mass availability. Quality be damned, all you need is brand.Don't underestimate how cattle-like the masses are.
>>737464819The one and only japanese studio left at sony made the one and only good ps5 game and despite wining game of the year sony didn't give a shit about it and prefers to spend billions of dollars funding tranny movie games from california
>>737473016>PS2/3 era franchises return>another motorstorm>another wild arms>another socomif only anon
>>737473102What's really sad about Astro Bot is that Sony just simply made a PS5 tech demo into a video game with the literal PS5 home console and DualSense in the game. Xbox really ruined PlayStation, man.
>>737462187STILL CHEAPER THAN A PS5 and i say this as someone with a PS5 and a switch 1.I just bought a switch 2 with sonic riders for my sister in law and have 0 regrets
>>737473016Sony is too busy with their AI and making a robot play table tennis to do any of that
>>737462187It has videogames and a lot of them.
>>737462187A bunch of /v/ users like to pretend there are only Nintendo games on the thing (and they did that with the Switch 1 as well) despite the myriad of third-party titles. I've recently played both Pragmata and Mouse PI for Hire on the Switch 2, looking forward to do Opus Prism Peak next.
>>737472590Nintendo and consoles in general have become cancer. Seeing stupidity is inherently irritating. But whatever, console consumers subsidize the industry by getting fleeced.
>>737462187They put video games on their video game machine instead of GAASslop that no one wants Sony used to know how this worked
>>737473951>getting fleeced>the PC vegan says while she owns nothing on PC
>>737473945The handheld boost mode had significantly made me play more 3rd party on the switch 2. thank god they did this early.

>>737474174Literally every time you buy a game on steam it pops up a warning reminding you that you don't own what you're buying, you're just paying for a temp license
Nintendo never gave up on handheld
>>737462187Nintendo is video games. You don't remember when all video game devices were called a "Nintendo"?
>>737462187good games. in fact, just games. it has games.
>>737462187of the big 3 Nintendo has the only current gen handheld, so monopoly basically
I don't understand why people are going for this launch model. The games are all meh so I don't need to play them right away. Just wait for Mario/Zelda releases and get a later revision with oled
>>737474174>the Software solely on the ConsoleReading is hard, I know lil vegan bro
>>737462219What games? The mid as fuck 3/5 Donkey Kong and MKW? Everything else is on Switch 1 or is shit like Beyond.
>>737462187Nice compromise of form factor, specs, price point and games library. How is this difficult to grasp?
>>737474227You got fucking wrecked
>>737464508>bananza>fast fusion>getting splatoon raiders soon Didn't like MK World that much and not that interested in Kirby or Pokopia, so I rate it a solid OK/yes so far. Also new Rhythm Heaven soon but that's on S1
>>737464790Sony never lies about sales. Also they found another 10 million sold PS2s.
>>737474754can't wait till they find enough sold PS2 to have sold 200 Million. TAKE THAT NINTENDO!
>>737474107This, it's added so much playtime to my Switch 2.I just beat RE1 today.
>>737467064>eing a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the alternatives makes it a no-brainer for clueless parents trying to buy a console for their kidsI think it helps that most kids and teens don't give many shits about Playstation or Xbox exclusives and they can play Fortnite, Rocket League and Minecraft on the Switch too. If Take-Two is smart, they'll put GTA on the Switch 2 as well.
>>737474107musou games bro! it's great to play musou in handheld with that boost
>>737474637Bananza is great and I've heard very little to convince me otherwise.
>>737462187copious amounts of söy
>>737465694reminder that "nintendo is a cult" is just another port of a decade old "sony cultist" meme.
>>737463565>Mobile will become an entry point for pc gaming soonI do not see a future where kids who grew up on mobile gaming convert to PC enmasse. Some will, sure, but as time passes I fully expect traditional vidya to return to being a nicher hobby.
>>737462187Games like picrel.
>>737465787Looking at the price of the PS5 Pro, I doubt the PS6 will be cheap. The handheld, if it's real, will probably be around 500-550 bucks.
>>737474174Almost impressive how highlighting anything in here is almost pointless as the whole thing is pure cancer. This should be the only response to everything that faggot posts. He's literally the embodiment of the meme he loves to spam.
>20 million sold>couldn't name a single person who owns onecurious
>>737462187Nintendo switch 2 has game, soon with the release of Splatoon raiders it will have games, and then in a few years when all the games delayed to rip out the open world come out it will have many games
Sony cultists really had all of their self worth on that circana report for the month and then got mindbroken when it was shown that yet again, selling video games moves more consoles than randomly raising the price of everything
>>737476248I don't doxx my friends on the Internet.
>>737476196>>737474174What do you think is more likely? Nintendo themselves are going to jail for advertising that you can resell their games and GKCsOrYou fucked up and posted the EULA for Switch 2 hardware and got confused because the hardware has software on it. I'll give you a hint, you posted the EULA for the hardware, and you can easily verify this by pasting that text into a google search.
>>737474174>license to a game you can't modify, backup, or crackSteam is like a farmer selling you seeds that can grow plants and the seeds from those plants can be used breed more and better plants. You have full control over the plants and what you do with those seeds. Nintendo is like monsanto selling you terminator seeds because they'll know eventually have to rebuy them because you can't back them up or due to poor software backwards compatibility.
>>737476364I think it's more likely that you're a hypocritical retard who just wants to suck Nintendo's dick no matter what they do.
>>737476446Sure.
>>737476419>steam out of nowhere
>>737476509>veganlol this is a pc gaming board and steam has more users than any cucksole box, you spastic retard
>>737476419Ah yes because I can sell copies of games bought off steam, right?
>>737476419It's somehow worse. It's like nintendo owning your whole farm and if you try to plant anything they don't like, they burn it all to the ground.
>>737476537>
>>737476509The first response to that post was trying to deflect to steam. The whole reason it got posted to begin with was some dumbass throwing out pc vegan and you will own nothing meme. Methinks you shouldn't throw stones in glass houses.
>>737462187>Can ssomeone please fucking explain this?popular among based bois
I just got $200 for my birthday.Any game recs? I haven't bought too many Switch games in the past few years, so I'm looking for any good ones.I'm not looking to spend all of it, but I've got a lot of wishlist games, and probably a lot of games that I forgot to put on the list.
>>737476248for a long while i thought the same. huge sales numbers, yet i don't know anyone who owns one. and then a girl i know got one. 27 year old, tattoos, piercings, obsessed with sex toys, crooked eyes and spine, built like a rectangle, public school teacher. she's like a dumb child in the body of an adult with money to waste cause she'll never marry or have children. she talks openly about the sex toys so that's how i know this stuff. she plays pokopia on her bed while wearing a butt plug, a clitoris sucking toy and a vibrator inside her pussy. her room is the messiest smelliest i've ever seen, she literally has piles of dirty clothes and laundry. she only washes stuff when she needs to use it. truly horrific stuff that i wish i could manually cut out from my brain with a knife
>>737462941My daughter loves it
>>737476616Why not? I own my games and you don't. I'm chucking rocks like no tomorrow. If you don't like this, then find yourself in a non nintendo thread.
>>737474227that's why I buy from gog
>>737476675>Methinks
>>737476675>>737474174
will tendies ever recover from being the butt of the gaming world?
>>737476729>>737476364>>737474584
>>737476756I know reading is very hard for you. I'll be sure to remind you of it.
>>737472590Snoys spent 20 years telling themselves that "nintendo is doomed any day now and they'll shut down and give sony all their IPs!"Then the switch 1 came out and was a megahit So they started telling themselves that there was a magical pattern and it meant anything that came after switch 1 would kill nintendo this time for real! And then switch 2 came out and smashed every record and has been selling like crazy and their dream of playing mario or zelda on PS5 died. Then sony rubbed salt in the wound by starting to release games on switch
>>737474584Are you saying you don't play their games on their console? Then how you do you play them little bro?
>>737476785Here you go lil bro. This is the EULA you were looking for.
>>737476834>I own my Nintendo gamesFUCK. YES.
>>737476834>Here, see, I own nothingGlad we could clear that up.
>>737476834DELTE THIS
>>737475116Bananza looks fun but not worth more than 20 dlls
>>737476882>
>>737476834>licensed>not transferred>cue list of legal restrictionsAnd you will eat the bugs and you will defend it
>>737476882you seem upset
>>737476928That means you are getting licensed media, not the IP itself.
>>737476924You don't even own the console anymore and you think you can get uppity lmao
Nintendo has been living in their own world since the DS/Wii and yet console war idiots still can't shut up about them existing.
>>737476996No, it means you're only getting a license. You don't own the game and it comes with restrictions on its use.
>>737477012>You don't even own the console anymoreYeah I do. See >>737474174>no mention of not being able to sell the hardware itselfI own it ^_^
>>737476916I got my copy for 40-ish thanks to Amazon in my country selling physical for less than Nintendo's asking price pretty consistently. For the amount of content on offer, I'd say that feels like a fair price.
>>737477012thisIwata will literally rise from his grave to personally destroy your S2 the moment you access its kernel
>>737477062Nintendo has been dead since Yamauchi retired and the last of their soul got sucked out the moment Iwata kicked the bucket
>>737474227That's why I buy at Fitgirl and cs.rin.ru
>>737477067Nope. License and the game itself. My property.
>>737477062probably because tendies just can't shut up period
>>737472729damn why do they hate cyberpunk on switch 2 so much
>>737477062Cultists are seething because it turns out crying and spamming soijaks or screaming about wanting to rape people to death on twitter doesn't actually do anything to a company. So all they can do is what nintendo thrive in their own corner while the industry burns down outside nintendo's bubble
>>737477130Nope. Just a license. The only thing that's your property is the cart and case.
>he's upset about the many soijaks spawned itbmaybe don't fulfil the stereotypes manchild
>>737477189>while the industry burns down outside nintendo's bubbleYou mean Steam as they continue to thrive and break records. Last I checked Nintendo's stock was in the gutter regardless of OP's rounding skills.
>>737477205Then send me to jail because I've sold games
>>737477118Yamauchi had the last laugh in the end since nintendo is still thriving and thanks to iwata pushing the switch concept before he died.
>this thread
>>737477264You transferred a license by selling the cart. Nintendo's currently working on fixing that.
>>737477262>baldy still doesn't understand stocks
>>737477262That anon is clearly talking about the console market and how this generation has been abysmal for xbox and sony between the constant price increases and ps4 still fucking getting games this late into its life. It's no wonder nintendo is pushing forward with switch 2 and leaving the switch one behind.
>>737477295To be fair, nintendo fanboys do seethe their asses off over the deck.
>>737477359No one even talks about the deck Unless its a snoy pathetically trying to use it to attack nintendo
MS lowered gamepass price(but not as low as it used to be). when's sony going to make psn cheaper for once?
>>737462187>Can ssomeone please fucking explain this?Status symbol. Nintendo is the Apple of the gaming world: tight restrictions, walled garden, and loads of proprietary shenanigans. Ask yourself why iPhones sell like hotcakes.
>>737477401>when will sony do something pro-consumer AHAHAHAHAHAHAHthey're going to increase the price AGAIN as well as force you to scan your face and multiple pieces of identification
>>737477406Isnt PS5 the Apple of gaming since it is extremely pricey and unironically looks like an Apple product?
>>737477406>another ported post you're thinking of the actual Apple of gaming, Sony. Its cult will mindlessly buy anything with a sony logo. $90 baby blocks? Yep. $400 picture book jerking off sony? Sold out in minutes.
>>737477359
>>737476974>pirates games and adds them to steam>tampers with and alters every steam game I touch>cracks steam games and plays them online>modifies steam itself with decky loader>illegally alters desktop wallpaper to show gay ben in various states of undressWhat's that, valve? You don't give a shit? Well, damn, guess I'll have to get a rise out of nintendo instead.
>>737477396to be fair people do talk about the deck, but only because Valve discontinued the cheap models and now only has the 600 euro one available.
>>737477513The irony of this image would of course be lost on you.
>>737462968Wait til you hear how many ps5s are still being sold
>>737477396You fags infest every deck thread, nice try
>>737477625>snoy admits he falseflags threads
>>737477479>>737477482sony is more like the samsung of gaming, while nintendo is apple.
>>737477401>sony>making anything cheaperoy vey spend 900 bucks on the ps5 pro + 100 for the disc drive goy. the hardware shortages and the tarrifs just make everything too expensive. dont ask why nintendo hasnt raised their hardware prices and consume
>>737477616Not many, PS5 sales have cratered in Japan And in the US its sales are barely staying the same thanks to scalpers panic buying before the latest price increase tanks the consoles sales going forward
>>737477652>sony is more like the samsung of gamingHow? Samsung are partnered with Nintendo and even provides Nintendo with chips and other components during production of Switch 2s.
>>737477719I think hes trying to insult samsung because it competes with sony in some markets
>>737477719yea samsung also sells their shit to apple, you don't know how analogies work
>>737477652Sony is the worst of samsung, nintendo is the worst of disney and apple.
>>737477406Sony threatened to raise the price again and people ran out to buy the overpriced things.
>>737477652That analogy doesnt work when PS5s are way more expensive than Switch 2s, in that case Nintendo are way more like Samsung than they are Apple.
>>737467064>Switch 2 is selling about as well as the 3DS did at launch.Not really true. 3DS sold 6.6 Mil in its first 3 quarters vs. the Switch 2's 17 Mil. That's a little over 2.5x as many consoles sold in the same timeframe. That said, the Switch 2's momentum isn't guaranteed to hold through its lifecycle. Although with Pokemon Gen 10 on the system it feels like it'd be hard for the console to fail outright, unless Gamefreak continue to clog the toilet trying to flush all their reputation.
>>737477754>>737477816I'm insulting all sides really. Samsung tries every year to dethrone Apple with overpowered phones and cutting edge tech but end up being what they swore to defeat (shiny toy with a cult following) while Apple ignores them and does their own thing like making underpowered hardware with gimmicks but relying on its ecosystem and global following. It's literally Sony vs Nintendo, respectivally.
>>737477882>Although with Pokemon Gen 10 on the system it feels like it'd be hard for the console to fail outright, unless Gamefreak continue to clog the toilet trying to flush all their reputation.At least they were smart enough to not rush out gen 10 like they did gen 9.
>>737462187i got a switch 2 last month for the pokopia release, it sucks that it has no games. people seem to recommened switch 1 games for it instead
>>737477882>unless Gamefreak continue to clog the toilet trying to flush all their reputationI love dunking on GF, but Winds and Waves actually looked good from what we've seen so far. Turns out not rushing your fucking games out really helps to improve them!
>>737462187>Tendie cultists that line up for any punishment nuTENDO feels like dishing out if it benefits the shareholders >"Gamers" and normies with money to piss away who just gotta have whatever is new without doing any research or critical thinking >Scalpers who thought there'd be a shortage, or who are waiting for a crack, so they can get top dollar for vanilla systems
>march units sold are higher than both january and february combinednice
why are people using nintendo when you can literally still get the wii games you bought from them in the service
>>737462187It has games.Also, I expect it will get close to 21 million>>737474637>What games? The mid as fuck 3/5 Donkey Kong and MKW? And Kirby Air RidersAnd Hyrule WarriorsAnd Mario Tennis FeverAnd Pokemon PokopiaClearly, a lot of people are happy with those. Not being able to understand other people can like what you don't like is a sign of autism.
>>737462187How did the Circana March results treat the resident schizo? How did Capcom specifically naming the Switch 2 as a reason for Pragmata selling a million copies in two days for that matter?
>>737479074Also dont forget that Tomodachi Life is the best selling game in France this year so far, so the Europe cope won't work.
>>737462187I keep hearing these numbers, but everyone I know who owns a Swtich hasn't bought a Switch 2.
why do you keep sucking nintendo's dick even though they abuse you?
>>737479346>>737479392Post your armored core 6 ps5 playtime, acpedo
>>737479392Yeah how DARE nintendo..... uh.... lower the price of digital games?
>>737476815I wish I bought a steamdeck all I wanted was portable MGSV, the streaming Snoy is comfy with my bassert hound from time to time, but its sad it cant actually run the games, the delay bites.
>>737479470Nintendo charges less than $60 for their digital releases?
What other console is there to buy? Playstation? lol. Xbox? lmao.
>>737479584Splatoon Raiders is $50.
>>737479584New splatoon games costs $50 digitally
>>737479584Splatoon Raiders. I don't know if there are any other games though.
>>737479584Splatoon Raiders.
>>737479584all i can think of is splatoon raides
>>737479983>>737479956>>737479928>>737479892>>737479871why did you pretend to be 5 different people
>>737480045Why haven't you posted your armored core 6 ps5 playtime?
>>737479584rhythm heaven
>>737478019Finally we won't have to see emulator issues
>>737465694this
So, how fucked is Sony in Japan when it comes to Switch 2, Steam PC, Steam Deck, eventual Steam Deck 2. Does Canis even have a chance? Would the Steam Machine do well in Japan even compared to the PS6 Orion?
>>737480672It's dead. PC and Steam Deck are dead too.
>>737480672Sony has been a nonfactor in japan for years now. Most sane japanese developers already put their stuff on switch 2.
>>737480741So, Sony's fucked in Japan the same way Microsoft is fucked in PC gaming?
>>737480783Worse
>>737462187Many such reasons:-Nintendo fanboys, whether casual or culty drone, have been shown to buy goddamn cardboard if a red N is printed on it. Even if only a fraction of them was interested thats still millions of potential sales-even with price hikes due to [current events] its still the most affordable option, and while there's arguably better gaming handhelds out there they're either not casual enough or don't have brand appeal -Nintendo exclusives. The initial lineup of games was lackluster but there's more on the horizon and they have a consistent release schedule-"but what about all the dram and controversy" nobody cares outside of some turbonerds. See also the point about fans above.-the whole "upgrade patch" thing makes the console appealing to people who enjoyed their Switch 1 and want a replacement for whatever reason
>>7374621874k 60fps Nintendo games, I want to splatoon with Hd graphics.
>>737480783to put things into perspective the ps5 is being outsold by the switch 1 in japan.
>>737480954>>737481014Yeah, it's over
>>737477584would it?
>>737480975labo came out nearly 10 years agowhat have you done with your life since then?
>>737480975Labo flopped HARD though? They had to sell the game maker kit it came with seperatly at a lower price after a while.
>>737480741PC is doing better than ever in Japan. There's a huge shift going on over there.
>>737462187PS6 is delayed for at least 2 years due to ram shortages so if you want a "new" console there is no competition. Same as the switch 1.
>>737477584The Switch 2 outsold the Steam Deck's entire lifetime of sales (~3 million) in the first few days of release. Cope Steamie, nobody gaf about PC handhelds>>737477652Modern snoy is the Apple of gaming, literally based in California and with overpriced stupid form-over-function hardware and a cultish fanbase
>>737481189Based, fuck Sony
>>737476248I know exactly 2 people. The one played Bananza for 2 sits and never touched their switch 2 again. The other has 100+ hours in Animal Crossing and has played Mario Kart a handful of times.
>>737481205Yeah the switch 2 would've done great if it was sold exclusively on nintendo's website with zero marketing or physical presence. Not like consoles are the sole pillar for software and need as much marketing and exposure as possible or they tank their whole business model. The steam deck totally has that same weakness where steam is entirely reliant on it selling as many units as possible and its goal wasn't to spur competition and make a push for linux, both of which it just happened to succeed at by accident.
>>737481056The new Japanese CEO tried save the brand in Japan by copying Nintendo and releasing a Japanese only PS5 at the same price as Switch 2 and it somehow lead to even fewer sales.Nips don’t want to have anything to do with Playstation anymore
>>737481320Sounds like a skill issue
>>737481205Nintendo hardware is the worst of apple with underpowered and overpriced hardware and their software is the worst of disney with milking brands into the dirt and being litigious and scummy as fuck.
>>737481193I don't get who even want a ps6 when they've barely done a thing with ps5. Not to mention that thing is going to be 800 minimum at best.
>>737464508>>737464684>>737464630Not my fault it'll only have 2 games and that's air riders and duskbloods, which isnt out yet
>>737481320>"s-s-sales don't matter, steam deck still better than shitch poo!!!111"Nice to see that you're coping, I'll return to not thinking about you
>>737481419>Sony fucked up by westernizing>Microsoft fucked up by consolizing>Nintendo and Valve remembered what console and PC gaming were and just gave gamers what they wanted>now both PlayStation's and Xbox's futures are being questionedWe will live long enough to see both PlayStation and Xbox cease to exist, Nintendo own the console market, and Valve own the PC market, kek.
>>737462187It's because unlike a bunch of other popular consoles (Wii, ps4, switch 1, ps5) they actually made a huge amount of stock so people could reliably buy it without it getting scalped.The Switch 2 sold faster than those other consoles because supply could match demand.
>>737462941This. Absolutely this. 'Tendo Army Toddles the FUCK on as seething unctears flow from these aged fuck wads.
>>737481721>steam deck still better than shitch poo!!!Yes.
>>737481761well all the "ps5 has no games" had some effect since sony had an epiphany and back pedaled hard on making pc versions. Why they thought that was a good idea after xbox fumbling is anyone's guess
>>737481721You manbabies should hear yourselves sometime, it's very pathetic.
>>737481913They backpeddled because after the first couple of novelty games people were like 'oh yeah, this is slop' and bought less of them. There's a reason a billion people bought God of War and a fraction bought the sequel. At some point you're just making your console look like a joke and the profits from Steam sales aren't worth it
>>737481516>underpowered and overpriced hardwareFunny how the Switch is still the cheapest on the market and I have never given a fuck about specs unlike Sony and XBox with their hardware pissing contests. Look at where they both are compared to Nintendo.>>737481516>milking brands into the dirtYou mean like Blue Point?You mean like XBox with Sunset Overdrive?You mean like...>>737481516>being litigious and scummy as fuck.I don't pirate games and I don't care about Palworld (or Pokemon in general) so I personally don't live in constant fear of Nintendo "ninjas".>>737482000>ad hominem, no argumentI accept your concession.
>>737462187there are more people alive today than at any point in the pastthe average person today has more personal wealth and disposable income than at any point in the pastthese two factors juice up the absolute numbers of sales, even as sales as a percentage of population continues to decline. The DS sold as many copies as the Switch 2 despite being sold at a time when there were a billion fewer people and incomes were only 80% of what they were during the Switch's sale period. The Gameboy is going to outsell the Switch 2 even though there were 2 billion fewer people, the median income was half as much, and average personal wealth was a quarter of what it is now.
>>737482164Nintendo hates you more than any snoy ever could. Get your shit together.
>>737482202DS sold as many copies as the Switch 1 ****
>>737482164>responding to the same post three timesHoly autism
>>737482000What cries when it's got four legs, seethes when it's got two legs and copes when it's got three legs? Boomer uncs when there suspiciously headstone-like abomination is placed next to the best in Japanese engineering, with an awesome selection of videogames from the masters at Nintendo. Best of all? I have all the time in the world to play them. Heh, have fun playing Slay the Spire on the commute while I sit tight in my diapers and play Donkey Kong all day, you old faggot. Get Fucking Toddled
Are steamies still upset over the deck flopping?
fake sales only like 100k bing bing "adults" actually boughtered the rest is fake like how 95%+ of bg3 sales was tencent buying their own stash
>>737482385the only thing the 'eck flopped was its 'ick on 'intendo
>>737464819It's genuinely heartbreaking how Sony just gave up on making fun games and using their IPs properly and decided that story games and billion dollar GAAS flops were a better use of their time. At least Astro Bot was amazing.
>>737462187i recently bought one. but i've not bought any games that are exclusive to it. the only games i've bought are botw and totk switch 2 editions because i never played them at the unbearable performance on switch 1. and i bought tomodachi life.only upcoming games i'm interested in are fire emblem and splatoon raiders. then next year pokemon and hopefully a new zelda game at some point.
>>737482058to be fair im pretty sure spider-man 2 and ragnarok also got less sales on ps5 because the novelty wore off, although the falloff is much worse on pc it seems
>>737482538Both Sony and Microsoft are reactionary, unfortunately, it was bound to happen.
>>737481205>and a cultish fanbaseprojection
>>737483551Just like 2 days ago we had a Snoy celebrating Sony had higher profits than Nintendo because they hiked PS5 prices
>>737482385hasn't the deck totally sold out? seems like a success. they'll probably have a deck 2 with updated specs if the hardware market stops spazzing out
>>737483810they already delayed the gabecube from the ram squeeze, at this rate deck 2 will be scheduled for 2030 by then all the hype will be gone
>>737483886yeah hardware might just be over as a category for the last few years until AI exterminates humanity. oh well, it was a fun run getting to enjoy better and cheaper hardware so quickly for so long
>>737483930at least we get AI robot waifus that we were promised...r-right?
>>737482538It's a shame because a big part of the Sony brand earlier on that they even tried to emphasise as recently as the PS3 was the kind of innovative and unique kind of games, the wonder of discovering something fresh & new that defined the PS1 in particular. They realised that was a valuable thing in itself that brought people to the console and kept people on it, and even if those kinds of games didn't always sell amazingly they were relatively low budget and made a psychological impression even on people who didn't play them.Nowadays every game is a product that maximises sales and it feels like things are led by people who don't even really like games, for an audience of people who don't really like games beyond the social aspect.Nowadays you have to go to Steam and indies for a taste of what old Playstation was like.
>>737484014I mean they could make those now but they probably won't before we all die
>>737467001The deck is a low volume device you buckbroken tendie spergWhat retarded tangent is this, do you know what an arm device is? Most people have one, you fucking idiot
>>737462187Literally just sheep following the crowd hype. There are no first party games out on this console worth buying nor have any been announced and any third party games run like shit compared to any other console on the market. I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch 2 was gathering dust in 80%+ of the households it was bought for.Just consume everything that's trending and if you don't buy into the hype you're labelled a cynical hater.
>>737483730>you're a tendrone cultist because...>you actually like playing video gamesyeah sounds like something a playstation fan would say
>>737484891>mindbroken by sony
>>737484695Or, you know, people want it because they want to play the exclusive games it has.And no, you are labeled cynical hater when you spend your free time lying about a toy on a georgian butter churning forum because you’ve convinced yourself your lies can make it flop.No one cares if you are just not interested.
>>737484891I have never owned a playstation since 3, I'm more of a PC/iPad guy. You really need need to tone down the projection though, I can smell your soi latte from here
removing the ip counter was a terrible mistake
>>737479584>>737480045Snoy got raped lmao
>>737484891To save that kind of image shows their frame of mind.He doesn't have anything to actually say, instead using wojaks to try and belittle and silence others.He's just a broken husk at this point only capable of lashing out.
>>737484891All both of you ever talk about is sales aka bragging about the size of your cult
>>737462187whats there to explain, its marketed toward normies and (man)children of course it will sell
>>737485067ikr, someone has got to put a stop on these tendies samefagging
>>737485020>mindbroken>switch 2 is going to outsell the PS5 next month despite the rush to buy it before the price increase>every month after that switch 2 is going to win every single month for the foreseeable futureyou will be raped and gaped 5 times a month, four times via famitsu and one time for circana
>>737462187Kids. Nintendo made the wise decision of catering to kids and manchildren. Two markets that are ignored by Microsoft and Sony. You wouldn't buy a Switch 2, but your annoying ass kid won't shut the fuck about wanting one, so you buy it for them.
>>737462187Has it even sold 20 million yet? The last official statistics are from December when it had 17 million and they haven't updated since then. Surely they'd want to celebrate hitting a milestone like 20 million.
Enjoying watching these Malder and Scummy types running around with little magnifying glasses trying to figure out the conspiracy about Nintendo's sales numbers while I'm running around the incredible Pokemon world building my collection of Pokemon creatures while trying not to shit myself—and all presented in Full HD.Uncs, honestly? Might be time to rope.
>>737485195Who keeps bringing up sony when no one asked?
>>737485458Who else shitposts about Nintendo?
>>737485265Nintendo normally only updates their numbers for their investor reports. In this case, we'll get the full January-March numbers in May. We get early numbers for Pokemon games because TPC likes to do that, but otherwise we won't know until then. I don't think 20 million is that big of a stretch but the data to confirm that isn't going to be out for a while yet, OP's jumping the gun.
>>737485532I do and I don't even own any of the current gen consoles. It's fun to shit on Nintendo fans because they're the disney adults of gaming.
>>737485532So you admit to being a schizophrenic demented tendie?
>>737485697Sure bro.
>>737485715Is it really that unbelievable that someone in 2026 doesn't have the money to purchase any of the current gen consoles that are experiencing price hikes due to all the AI slop jacking up RAM prices for everything?
>>737485903Doesn't seem to be a problem for Nintendo.
>>737485458Every time I see the thumbnail for this, I swear it looks like a Sims character.I don't know or care who he is, he just doesn't look like a real person.
>>737464819Since their console is like $1000 they should probably just pivot into smartphones.
>>737485532Basically everyone who isn't a drone. Tendies live in a bubble and try to pretend this isn't a PC board. Sony is the dead horse they beat as the low hanging fruit because that's the only they can remotely compare themselves favorably to.
>>737486490That would be a great idea if they could actually make competent smartphones.
>he spent all night wojakpostingGod, what a miserable existence.
>>737462187I really enjoyed switch OLED because it was my comeback to video games. The switch two reveal video from nintendo made me unironically buy Steam Deck. Nintendo went from based company to a censoring, anti customer niggers. People who buy it are 90% hype train mindless normies who have too much money. They don't watch the annoucements they just see a commercial (no adblocks, real life billboards) and they mindlessly buy NEW THING because its popular thing with 2 so it's "newer", "better" and "everyone has it". Not to mention I bought switch for the fitness games in the first place, and they were underwhelming and there are maybe 5 of them in total.

>>737485532everyone else lmao
>>737486490It’s $400 - MSRP even - you dingus, where did you get $1000 from?
It's a juiced up Switch that I can use to play all my old library and all the games that still release on Switch 1. They've also released a few exclusives to it and despite it feeling a bit dry on new games, it's just been under a year and it still has more exclusives than the PS5 or Xbox. But really Switch 1 owners were complaining about wanting a new version that had more juice in it and Switch 2 is that

I HOPE YOU'RE READY ERIC
>>737462187Actual answerFirst, it had a massive supply at launch. Most consoles only have a few million ready for launch which leads to shortages. The Switch 2 didn't have this problem. For comparison, the PS5 sold about 20 million before it was finally readily available in stores.Second, Nintendo released it in June. This means it got its first full Christmas much earlier than other consoles and that's where pretty much all the sales come from. This will start to become less impressive when we get to the dog days of summer where consoles sell pretty low and it will likely hover around the low 20s sold-in. It should be noted this is why it gets compared to the GBA a lot since, in the US, the GBA also released in June. This hurts the "fastest selling" narrative since the GBA is selling faster than the Switch 2 (in the US).It should be noted that, as of Dec 31, 2025 it has only sold 15 million to customers. Financials will be available in early May so we'll see but it likely wont be 20 million sold through (they'll likely meet the 19 million projection but it will probably be a bit close)
>>737462187not actually true. companies lie all the time. nobody owns a shitch 2
>>737488439Forgot to add: Switch 1 sold over 150 million and is one of the best selling consoles ever, so there was always going to be some carryover demand, especially since its backwards compatible. For comparison, the Switch had a harder time initially since it was coming off the Wii U which did way worse.

>>737462187The switch 1 was a massive success, and was getting to be very underpowered. For once nintendo just did what people wanted which was a more powerful switch. Shame about the game drought however.
