THIS IS BIGhttps://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2026/260508.html
>Massive>$50
Lmao this gen blows
>tfw bought a switch 2 before the price hikethis shit ain't nothing to me man the real fucking offender is raising NSO prices
>>738441506>announced 4 months in advanceholy based nintendo
>>738441549its only for jp and korea at the moment but yeah
>>738441506Why do jannies keep deleting these threads lmao tf?
Nintendo has been awesome lately. A $50 price hike is perfectly reasonable given the obscene pricing of competitors like PS5. Not to mention they are selling new software at heavily discounted prices compared to the rest of AAA, at only $50 a pop. Glad there is at least one of the big three that still gives a shit about the fans
>>738441531a 10% price hike is pretty significant, but yeah, I expected much worse, too
>massiveregardless i expect people to be very normal about this news.
Least obvious Snoy deflection thread kek
>>738441571it's for all regionsbut it's minimal and there's a four month call
>consoles get more expensive instead of cheaper as time goes onLol
check out the MASSIVE price increase in Europe
>>738441627i was talking about nso
>>738441620
>>738441506They are also hiking prices of S2 in Japan to more than PS5 Japan model. As well as Switch 1 going up there too.
>>738441506And now you know why the launch itself was so successful. Eat shit late adopters >>738441549Same brother saw this economy turning to shit for months now.
>>738441506I told you this was inevitable, should've boughted last year
>>738441506there is no way they raise the price by that date without a zelda mario or smash bros anounced to trick the retards.
>>738441539Switch 2 is a next gen console.
>>738441539You voted for this.
>he didn't boughted the switch 2 earlykekoraa
>>738441506Should've voted for Kamala
>>738441506And they still intend to keep the Tarriff refund money.
So... Can I sell my NES for 5000$? Since apparently consoles keep going up in value.
>>738441639>30 euro price hikeSo, like an hour and a half of work for the average joe?
>>738441506Not too long ago a Nintendo fan told me to cope about me saying they will get a price hike. Neat.
>open pricewhat the hell does that mean?
>>738441658>should've boughted last yearthe price increase will start from september 1(you) have 4 months to buy a Switch 2.
>>738441506Obvious with all these ram price increases and shortages
>>738441549wait NSO got a price increase?
>>73844163930 euros!?! NINTENDO!!!!
>tfw you got the switch 2 before the price raise
>>738441647Now this is massive we were talking about
>>738441676I wrote in David Duke
>>738441724nope
>>738441506>$50>Half of what Sony hiked>It will stay at the old price until September 1st 4 months from nowSnoys lost
>>738441697wait till logan paul starts grifting that one and you probably will be able to
reminder this has nothing to do with tariffs or chatgpt it's because governments are building enormous surveillance data centers
>>738441597>$50 is prefectly reasonable for an underpowered tabletThis is how the PS/Xbox started it.>not to mention they are selling a 2 hours long StarFox and a Splatoon 3 DLC for $50 (digital only)
>>738441627At least scroll down, y'know, at all
Gamers voted for this.
>>738441506Are you aware these are only suggested prices and it's the retailer that decides what the final price is?
>>738441687Do you think leftist politicians are any less all in on AI than right wing? In the west environmentalist leaders still put geopolitics before environment, they're all too terrified of missing out to say AI sucks
>>738441506Reminder that you (You), yes you the one reading this. You voted for this.https://files.catbox.moe/6ryh0m.mp4
>>738441724only japan and south korea
>>738441539>still playing on consolesyou still haven't grasped it yet
>>738441635look at this poor wayward soul, so broken by our masters they think prices going up is normal and prices going down is considered humorous to them.
>the doubters denied Takashi Mochizuki >he was right again
>>738441639>>738441698For what, a paperweight? You need games too. Once you've bought some games it's a serious blow to anyone's economy.
>>738441786For now
>>738441780anon we're talking about tariffs
>>738441781I've never even been to america, but sure, I voted for this
>four months until the price increase goes into effectI'm surprised they're giving people this large of a heads up. so used to sony and xbox saying it's happening in days
>>738441506Damn, I almost cared but then I remembered the Switch 2 has literally zero games.
>>738441762You mean because governments are investing in enormous data centres for a deranged dream of profitability, they already have all the surveillance hardware they need
>>738441805mochizuki was talking about supply
>>738441731
>>738441838It has tons of games and 2 classics already
>>738441506They are also expecting to only sell 16.5M in FY2027
>>738441848>giving americans the reinsjust say you got conquered
I got mine using Klarna I pay like 20 bucks a months for 18Months
Aren't you guys too old to be playing Nintendo games, anyway?
>>738441639Both the system and the games are more expensive in Europe.
>>738441861Yeah literally. They're selling you N64 games in 2026. Whatta grift.
>>738441859>the price will rise>N-N-N-NO IT WON'T BASED NINTENDO WOULD NEVER>*price rises*>UHMM ACKTUALLY IT'S NOT FOR THE SPECIFIC REASON SO HE'S STILL WRONG NINTENDO CAN DO NO WRONG BTW IT'S OK WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT *farts*
>>738441724Seems to be a Japan only thing for now their excuse is because they to unify the pricing
>>738441817Tarrifs have nothing to fucking do with this
Who knew that one waterway was so important.
>>738441891holy fucking destitute lmao>being a debt pig in the big 26
>>738441781Name one, name one realistic option American politician who is against AI investment
>>738441932
>>738441549feels good
>>738441904Its funny how the narrative changes always
NOOOOOOSTOP TAKING MY MONEY, YOU FUCKSAT LEAST GIMME GAMES IN EXCHANGE
>>738441716It is open for changes any time when they feel like. It could be 3000 one day and 3150 next.
>>738441932uhh? like everyone when it got blocked by a stuck ship a few years ago
>>738441848I mean who knew that the brown people that 4chan has been shitting on for years could cut off our oil?
>>738441731That mario kart bundle was a steal. At least people on the fence have plenty of time to snag one before the increase
>>738441627>DUHHUHHURRRRR retard
>>738441904Look at the thread it's instantly about Sony. They're obsessed.
>>738441848Government will keep destroying the world until you stop thinking it’s because the wrong people are in charge.
>>738441506>Starfox is only going to be $50, guys, relax.
>>738441969That was a different waterway
>>738441506oh no no no no no
>>738441848>Only America is doing AI stuffRetard
>>738441891are you black?
>>738441506>investors turn the screws>order them to fuck over the customerBlackrock is making the stock as worthless as possible. They'll own Nintendo in no time.
>>738441506that's goodjust in time for gta 6 to release and people to buy a ps instead since no nintendo game is worth playing rn
>>738441951Why was the TRADE Federation disrupting commerce?
>developed world is in a fuel and shipping stranglehold>$50 price increaseIf anything I would have expected it to be bigger. Just wait until the serious shit starts happening, then you really won't have your video games.
>>738441676>>738441687Why would they increase the price everywhere? Dumb vermin.
>>738441780AI is allowing us to talk to animals and helping to cure their cancer. We also use it in nearly every workplace now, it’s not going away.
Regulating AI data center development means preventing America from being great again, sorry your toys don't get priority lol
>>738441969That was a different sea route.
>>738441790Are you telling console players to upgrade to PC? You do know PC parts are also affected by silicon valley fags too, right? Pic unrelated unless you think I'm a consolefag.
>>738441974It would be a steal if the game was worth playing
>>738442037They're setting up the next pandemic in order to let the democrats win so the jews will lose.
>>738442047Globalism. The world's economies are all linked. Moron
>>738442037>fuelDoesn't affect toys for man children >shippingMost shipping does not happen in the straight of hormuz
>>738441906Ok good. NSO only being 20 bucks is easily one of the biggest bonuses of the service.
Well, why shouldn't they?Why shouldn't they charge people more and give absolutely nothing in exchange?
>>738442030Is this an actual point against the prequels because trade organizations exist for the sole purpose of limiting trade
>>738441904Yeah, how conevient Nintendo fans forget $50 is how Sony started it with the PS5. They seriously thing this is the end of the Switch 2 price hikes.The worse it will sell in the long run the more Nintendo will be forced to milk the leftover userbase. This is exactly what happened with the Xbox/PS too.
>>738441506I'm tired of companies getting away with this shit
>>738441737THEN WHY AINT HE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!?
>>738441891>paying them past the 1st monthngmi
>Hardware sales for Nintendo Switch totaled 3.80 million units, demonstrating a level of continued demand for the system, whichentered its 10th year since launch in March.Switch keeps on selling. It's going to break the PS2 record next year.
>>738442137Can the EU save us this time? Without affordable video games, young men will be rioting 24/7.
>>738441731Bought it day one (Mario Kart bundle of course) cause I saw this coming from a mile away.
Well this probably means a switch 2 lite or whatever is on the table as an affordable option
>>738442047Shouldnt have voted against globalism, the system is now broken and prices are rising because of it.
>>738442118>fuel price increase doesn't affect shipping costsmartest snoy right here
>>738442134>The worse it will sell in the long run the more Nintendo will be forced to milk the leftover userbase.yeah... I remember how hard nintendo was milking us the Wii U days... free digital game with mario kart... nintendo selects... let's hope that never happens again
>>738442179It sold 3.8m over the entire year. It only moved a few hundred thousand this quarter. It will likely halve if not drop more year over year as it keeps going. They expected it to sell 4.0M over the past year and fell short of it.
>>738442195
>>738442195switch lite was a massive failure, they're more likely to release a switch 2 OLED for $600 instead.
>>738441904anon mochizuki's shit are "disappointing sales" and "low stock", not price increasewhy are you fucking dicksucking mochizuki, are you him?
>>738442179Is this before the tomodachi life release? >Switch keeps on selling. It's going to break the PS2 record next year.Sony will pull more numbers out their ass.
>>738442118>Doesn't affect toys for man childrenAnon how do you think these things are made? Plastic? Electricity to make everything? Are you 12?>Most shipping does not happen in the straight of hormuzAll shipping requires fuel, you absolute shit-for-brains mongoloid lobotomy patient.
>>738441506>Switch 2 is more expensive than PS5 in JapanOh boy, cant wait for Thursday
>>738441974>You got an empty, $40 worth at best game for $50 with the bundle.What a steal indeed.
>Fans ensure the Switch 2 has the biggest launch of all time, while also supporting them in the movie theatre>Nintendo: Yeah FUCK YOU! We're raising the price anyway! Even though you've made us successful and rich beyond our wildest dreams, FUCK YOU! Give us all your money! And no games for you until 2028! Hehehehe!
>>738441506>massive = 30 euros (tax included)>when the ps5 increased by 100 (but actually more because accessories like the disk drive are also more expensive)
At least the trannies are owned.
>>738442195switch 2 lite was always gonna happen next year to get the kiddies ready for the new pokemon, they always love having the lite option around for the first new generation on their systems
>>738441506Did the Switch 2 also become the fastest console to get a price hike of all time?
>>738442226It won't happen with your beloved bugman Furukawa for sure
>>738442243they hated him because he knew the evil beast that is Nu-Nintendo
>>738442037>Sony raises prices>LE EVIL>Nintendo raises prices>AKSHUALLY THERE ARE VALID REASONS FOR THAT
>>738441506I HATE DATACENTERSI HATE AIAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Why isn't anyone stopping him, man? All my hobbies are getting fucked over.
>>738442242Wait, the Switch 2 isn't OLED? Then why is it so fucking expensive? The 3DS had 3D technology fifteen years ago and cost half as much.
/v/ is seething again huh
>>738442195Probably just in time for Pokemon.
>paying more money for less games
>>738442313the first price hike in august of 2025 for the PS5 wasn't that big of a deal, the second price hike within a year was the one being called out
europe is getting the best deals because the euro is so high right now compared to the yen. Europe is now a bigger market than Japan for them despite selling way less consoles and games.No tarifs also helps lol
>>738442358...but enough about PS5
>>738442313Point to where I said anything about Sony or fuck off, tranny.
>>738442329switch 2 uses the cheapest shittiest screen ever found on a handheld that has ghosting issues and poor colours. Everyone's waiting for an OLED model. The price is high because component prices are high. It's a next gen console.
>>738442358>Pirates are brought before court just so they don't have to compete with good games (their own)
>>738442302so it's investor garbage then
>>738442313>sony raises price by 150 dollars/euros within a week>*crickets*>nintendo raises price by 30euros/50 dollars with a 4+ months heads up>*nigger seethe*yup, its floydd o clock
>>738442195>the switch 2 lite is gonna cost the same as the switch 2 did pre price hikeheh
>>738442179They will cross the PS2 this year. Total LTD after this quarter earnings is at 159.17M. Tomodachi Life is selling getting people to buy a Switch.
>>738442313>abloblobloblo you were more mean when Sony increased the console doubled the price in Japan than when it increased by 30 euros IT'S NO FAIR WAHAAAAAAA WAHAAAAAAA WAHAAAAAAA *violent self shitting and pissing sounds*
Why the fuck should I buy Switch 2?Literally zero games and I still have like 184 jrpgs to play on Switch 1
It’s not the fucking tariffs you fucking propagandized IDIOTS. It’s the fucking chip shortage you fucking TDS mongroid retards. Im so fucking tired of LE TRUMPERINO MAKIN MY LIFE SHITE mindbroken trite in the year our fucking lord 2026. Holy fuck, WAKE UP you reddit infected troglodytes
>>738442389it's hilarious how you only hear about ghosting and screen issues from people who don't have a switch 2none of the actual owners has found any issues but you'll pretend it's a real problem
>>738442389>switch 2 uses the cheapest shittiest screen ever found on a handheldyou must've never laid your eyes upon an OG game boy screen, enviable
>>738442445Switch 1 is at 155.92m what are you talking about?
Oh no no hahaha
Guess all the protesting worked
>>738442420>>sony raises price by 150 dollars/euros within a week>>*crickets*because nobody gives a shit. nobody is buying the PS5 except niggers anyway. they would go into thousands of debt to own it. money isn't real in the mind of sonyggro Nintendo used to be the console for gamers and families. now it's the console of scalpers and rich people
>>738441597There are people who legitimately act like this, this is how bluesky users talk
reminder that the cutoff here is March 2026
tendies ITT already defending it lol consoles aren't supposed to get more expensive
>>738441506>selling so fast they need to increase price to lower demandYeah Nintendo is winning again.
>raise prices>STILL no mario or zelda game>monkey paw starfox gamefucking nonsense.
>>738442468>people with buyer remorse pretend that there is no problemSame shit like with Nintendo cultists pretending that drifting on Switch controllers was not a problem
>>738442053OpenAI hasn't made a profit in its entire lifetime and Microsoft is slowly walking back on putting Copilot in everything. I don't think it'll go away entirely, but it's not in the best position.
>>738442459It if was just the hardware the increase would be the same everywhere. Ameripoors gets a pigger one because of the tariff on top of the hardware. Your prices don't include the taxes, other countrie's do.
>>738442393Soon even owning your own computers will be a capital offense! Just as of the days of old, the pirates and outlaws will be the only free people once again.
>market conditionslike what. this is just greed.
>>738442459>It’s the fucking chip shortageYes, and also the massive fuel shortage. TDS honestly doesn't work as an insult in the current moment, that fat fucking retard is in the middle of transferring the entire country over to Israeli control.
>>738442524I ain't defending shit but don't act like this isn't industrywide. Ps5 just had a 100$ increase over the switch 2's 50$
>>738442524Reggie was already preparing them for this. why would an EX-nintendo employee suddenly run so many interviews talking about Nintendo? why would he be gassing up the prices and mentioning how Nintendo games should NEVER drop in price because they are so valuable and important?>days later Nintendo announces everything is risingLiterally gaslighting the tendies so they fall in line kek. Reggie got a nice payday for that surely
>$550 to experience mid mario kart
>>738442623>this is just greed.Huh? Everyone knows ram prices have gone insane lately. Did you miss the part where the ps5 just went up by 100$ too?
>4 months noticeI wonder if they want to back out of it if the situation stabilized.And they must have some big hitters during holidays to soften the blow.>>738442438Probably $400. Switch Lite was $100 cheaper than the main model.
>>738442675>>738442630>b-b-but Sony
>>738442492Whoops I was reading it wrong.
i have never been so close to getting my dick chopped off by prices. Glad I made the decision to make my PC and get a Switch 2.
>>738442706Yes. Sony hiked the price by $100 and gave people 1 week notice.
>Tendie>Snoy>TENDIE>SNOYI wish the game industry and I would crash and die
>>738442704>I wonder if they want to back out of it if the situation stabilized.no chance
>>738442746who cares lil bro? this is the Nintendo price hike thread. create a thread about Sony if you want to cry about it
>>738442746that's after they already hiked the price up 8 months prior
>>738442706It's completely relevant to mention the ps5 here to show that it's an industrywide issue right now.
I will forgive the price increase if they can show a really good Direct in May or June
>>738441506companies aren't there for you stop being a fan pirate and emulate old stuff you aren't missing much.
Very smart for Nintendo to give a 6 month notice for this. Demand is about to go through the roof. Sony raised prices by twice the amount after just a week.
I'm not paying that much for an LCD screen with worse ghosting than mid 2000s monitors
>>738441896Thankfully all the retailers and online stores don't sell at MSRP. Obviously sales or Nintendo Selects would be better but Nintendo doesn't do that anymore so the stores giving better offers is a silver lining.
I dont see how you can raise the price with no must own game on the system (still)mariokart is fine but not a mario or zelda.
Is the system worth it for Kirby kino riders?
Sony fans: No. This is terrible. Why would Sony do this? I will not buy a PS3 until a more reasonable price and better output of games are provided.Nintendo fans. YESSS YESSSSSSSSS PLEASE RAISE THE PRICE HIGHER AND GIVE US TEXTUREHACKS OF 30 YEAR OLD GAMES! PLEASE SHUT DOWN THE 3DS SHOP AND MAKE ALL THAT MONEY I SPENT STOLEN!
>>738442704Well we know the OOT remake is one of them. But you need more than a UE5 remake of a N64 game to move units. Plus nu-Zelda fans are going to hate that it’s not open world
>>738442030>(((Trade Federation)))George Lucas was redpilled even back in the 90s
>>738442459People are going to vote democrat in order to bring back globalism and USAID to fund every country. That way we get lower prices on everything. People are mad and angry at the right and they're not coming back anytime soon.
>>738442030>Why was the East India Company so aggressive
Reminder to thank a MAGAchud for voting for this! Tariffs, War, you name it!
>>738441506so, hows the progress on a switch2 emu coming along?I dont mind waiting another year because literally the only thing I want to play is starfox and zelda games that havnt released yet
>>738442859>switch 2 as powerful as the ps3
>>738441687What exactly do you think would be different, trump was our only chance of iran not happening
>>738441506Fuck this. Fuck Furukawa and his kike handler fake-"investor" masters. These fagaloons need to be put on the fucking unemployment line fuckin' YESTERDAY.
>>738442859Projecting hard, lil bro?
>>738442840Are you literally or mentally 3 years old? It's perfect in that case
>>738442675it's greed by sony AND nintendo.>uhh, we need to raise the price on ANCIENT HARDWARE, like old fat ps5s and switch 1s
>>738442889They wouldn't have the balls to remake OOT 1:1 in 2026.Although seeing Star Fox 2026... Maybe they do? It's diabolical.
>>738442802>b-b-b-but Sonyis this the only line the Tendie Defence Force has?
Another win for earlychadswaitfags on suicide watch
>massivei was expecting 100 or something. 50 is lower than I thought.
>>738442889Nu-Zelda fans are going to eat it up regardless because of its legacy, regardless of it they play/finish the game. It sells on name and premise alone.
>ITT: it's bad for corporations to increase shareholder value
FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS
>>738442827There's a reason why they're going hard on surveillance tech, banning VPNs, and using useful idiots to implement digital IDs to protect muh children.This will continue until society collapses into the stone age, or tears itself apart at the seams in a horrific display of chaotic violence unlike the world has ever seen before. The train has no breaks and we've already been sent off the cliff. The only thing left to do is bunker down, avoid being killed, try to hold onto your morals and sanity, and wait for the crash.
>>738442459Kill yourself faggot miga retard
>>738442839It will have 10 (11 exclusives if you count that wheelchair basketball game) in a little over a yearAlso normies like Pokopia it’s literally all the they talk about
>>738442967>not address that it has nothing to do with sony and more about the state of the industry as a wholeJesus christ man, cry more faggot
>>738442840the game is dead at this point unfortunately. 70 was a retarded price point. I' d say the system is still worth it for the handheld boost mode, I play on it more than my PC these days.
>>738442967>everybody tells me this shit when I shit on nintendo threads surely I can just say the same to their system I will totally rape and gape them this time!porting meme doesn't work that way, child
>mention Israel>left vs right shit flinging ramps up exponentiallyEveryone wave hello to your e-rabbi!
>>738441506I've seen no reason to buy a Switch 2 or Switch. Now I'm even less likely to buy one.
>>738442941This guy has fucked up so badly that Iran look like the good guys to 90% of the world now
$50 increase so far*Just wait until the end of 2026 and the price gets hiked again. Welcome to hyper inflation.
who remembers when consoles went down in price over time?
>pc component prices go up hundreds of dollars>silence>playstation and xbox get a $150 price increase >silence>switch 2 goes up $50>suddenly nintendo is the problemI'm noticing
>>738443002>i love the taste of boot in my mouth>muh american dream>muh trickle down economics>if big corpo keeps fucking everyone then one day it will be MY turn and I will be rich and powerful... one day.,,,.. then everyone else will be fucked by MEfuck you retard. selfish idiotic retard gorilla
>>738442996The next $50 price increase is coming next year
>>738442859lmao this nigga still live in 2007.How old are you?
>>738443056Good guys? They're literally 0,002 picoseconds away from developing nuclear weapons!!
>>73844310937
>>738443041>>738443036>>738443081>literally no other defence other than>b-b-b-b-but SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;A;
is this before or after the impact of gas prices on shipping logistics?
Explain to a non-american, is it really exclusively Trump's fault or is he a convenient scapegoat for Nintendo fans to shift the blame?
>>738443136Didn't he say he was going to regulate this data center shit, like a year ago?
>>738441506you forgot to also mention that Nintendo also stated that they expect to sell less consoles because of this price hike telling it like it is to the investors complaining about taking a small marginal loss.
>>738443136the entire world economy doesn't depend entirely on one personbut trannies and lefties in generals have to find an scape goat to blame for all their misery because otherwise they might figure out they're responsible for most of their own problems
>>738443136he's just a piece of the puzzle, the price of oil impacts literally everything
>>738443074remembers when the USA were controlled by some retard who impose 15-50% tariffs at random to finance Israel genocides ?remember when America didn't use war to increase the price of oil worldwide despite the shortage only affecting a dozen place in the south east of asia?remember when component corporations wheren't from the same familly and didn't arrange a false scarcity price hike by signing infinite commands to datacenters that don't exist and won't until 2035 for the earliest ones?good time
>>738443136No, it's OpenAI's fault The chip crisis is due to AI
>>738443128>world economy has a massive impact and everyone else does it>but it's only bad when nintendo does it
>>738443136>Biden in office>PS5 price never goes up>Trump in office>All consoles and PC parts get more expensiveSeems pretty shrimple to me
>>738442859>I will not buy a PS3 until a more reasonable price and better output of games are provided.Nintendo fans literally did this with the 3DS and the Wii U.
>>738443136Trump doesnt set global prices, why the fuck would Japanese switches need to go up in price for America.Companies are exploiting nonsense to profit. They aren't your friend. Why the fuck is a switch *1* going up in price.
Despite all this, they haven't announced any layoffs.
>>738443128you can't really win that one. Any search in the archives shows you are just porting the "b.b.b.b.but nintendo" that has been spammed there for 20 years and more.
>>738443232trump won you lost
>>738443254
>>738443251>b-b-b-but SONY!!!!!111This is the Nintendo thread. Please make a Sony thread if you want to cry about it
>>738443136If it's Trump's fault why are European and Japanese prices affected (and the latter are seeing more price increaess with NSO and playing cards)?
>>738441506It was inevitable. By the time switch 2 finally received a price hike I think the PS5 already did like 3 times. AI also isn't helping with how expensive hardware parts are.
>>738443232trump or no trump, AI datacenter shit would happen regardless causing all the hardware increases.
>>738443276The OG switch 1 only increases in price because they didn't want to hike the Switch 2 2 months before it's launch.
>>738443276his war does. And Americans pay 50 dollar + taxes while europe only gets a 30 euro hike because it's the result of your beloved Tariffs there that is raping you more than the others.
>>738443297>Bugfucker is also a retard magapede
>>738443258And it worked, because they were millenials. Zoomers are grift targets #1 so corpos and the government can mistreat them however they please while they've a big smile on their faces and that stupid fucking haircut.
>$50 increasedamn, you mean I got Mario Kart World for FREE?thank you Nintendo!
>meanwhile nobody gives a shit about Sony’s disastrous fiscal report lol fucking tendie board
>>738442936Switch 2 emulators are in very deep shit1) Switch 2 specs are 3x the Switch 1s12 gb ram -> 36 gb6gb vram -> ~18 gb vramand not to mention the cpu upgradeeven if it gets hacked only people likely only people who own the console will be able to do anything2) Everyone in the scene got sued or leftyuzu team was sued (fyi a few devs from here were from citra, so this took everyone out)ryujinx team was intimidated. allegedly, a nintendo lawyer turned up on gdkchan's doorstep telling him to stop developing ryujinx and to hand over all assets related to ryujinx. gdkchan lives in brazil and was apparently an university professor and everyone was copying his work. some people started up ryubing, but recently greemdev "left" the project (probably intimidated into leaving). SciresM also stopped developing atmosphere to "spend more time with family" -> he was secretly helping the emu devs, so it's very suspicious. The emu devs were basically implementing cfw shitthere's only 1 dev left who even remotely understands anything and it's only basic shit they can fixit's about 3 years after a hack that you get an emulator and that's without the lawsuits3) no day 1 hardware hack, after 1 year there's still no hack. no hack = no emulatortldr emulator scene is totally fucked
>>738443136between the 15% tariffs on Japanese goods and starting a war that raised the price of gas for everyone, he has some impact probably
>>738443136Not really. Component prices are going up sharply due to lack of supply, especially memory. There's only 2-3 companies that make memory and they've colluded before to raise prices because they want to keep their prices sky high for profits, there's currently no proof but there's no doubt they're not doing their best to address this memory shortage right now because they're cashing in hard right now. Geopolitically, America has been changing the world order and capturing countries to cripple china which in turn is crippling asia as well. America's Iran blockade is preventing China from obtaining Helium (needed for chip manufacturing) and oil (iran was one of their biggest suppliers) and so prices are also impacted by that. Asia gets a lot of their production materials from china and with things becoming harder to manufacture, prices are going up too. America is immune from all of this though because they're the biggest producer of helium in the world and now the biggest oil exporter, it's in the best interest to open up as much manufacturing in America to lower prices and to ensure stability for future manufacturing.
>>738443281because unlike sony and microsoft, nintendo isn't losing money due to making billionaire studio acquisitions to develop 400+ million dollar wokeslop games no one buys
>>738443335As an American, the price increase comes alongside a drastically rising CoL around the board. Everything sucks
>>738443310>Israel wants to bomb the fuck out of towel heads>Trump cucks to them and does it>Shit gets retarded and fuel is restricted and/or completely cut off for much of the world>Manufacturing and shipping prices go up because it takes fuel to do those thingsHe's wrong, though. It's not solely Trump's fault, it's Israel, he's just cucking to them.
>>738443136It's the insane AI race buying all the fucking hardware in the market to make servers.
>>738443461The people doing this are doing it on purpose. They want to pump and dump the entire nation (and world).Lenin was right
>>738443384it's because nobody is mindbroken by sony and yet there are multiple nintendo threads because people are minbroken by them
>>738443384wouldnt that make it a snoy board
This can only be good for early adopters. They'll have to announce more price mitigation strategies so the first few exclusives don't end up having the worst legs of all time.
>>738443136>So do you think invading Poland had anything to do with everyone declaring war on us, or was it just because they were mad at our basedness?
>>738441506AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>738443384One doesn't affect you buying things.
>>738443501It certainly feels that way, it being intentional.
>>738443405Dude the entirety of your second paragraph states that it is fucking Trump's fault for the rising prices what the fuck are you on about? That little sales pitch at the end there doesnt change the current problem that America is doing a blockade that is raising prices you fucking hack
How is this legal?
>>738443558>this one person that doesn't work on technology is totally the reason for raised costs and not openai destroying the entire electronic component market in the world
>>738441506Xbox is lowering prices, Nintensissies. Time to jump in while Queen Asha saves gaming.
It'll be $600 by the end of 2027screencap this
>>738443627Blockade is only hurting China. Are you from China?
>>738443384???I've read this post five times and can't figure out the connection between Nintendo stealing my money and Sony having no money. Sucks to be them, I guess - Not my problem.
>>738441716It means they can change to any value they want at any time. Tendies finna pay $1000 for amiibos and shit like donkey Kong cards KWAB.
>>738443637>increase gamepass price>lower it, but not as much so it's still more expensive than before the increase>expect people to praise you for lowering prices it's really in their blood
>>738443637Damn, that's good news for the 3 people that will buy a xbox
>>738443721Americans are incredibly weak of mind and susceptible to being grifted. I can't blame Nintendo for exploiting their idiocy.
>>738443258Why aren't they doing it with the Switch 2 then? Did the demographics change?
>>738443310Jesus christ you miggers are slow
>>738443637>Look up the price for a Microsoft game I want to play>29.99$ >Will be receiving free updates for the next three yearsWow. Is it too late for me to become an Xbro?
the good news for people with hardware is current PCs will last forever since people literally cant afford to buy a PC now. So devs are forced to make minimum requirements the same for longer.
>>738443821>a Microsoft game I want to play
>>738443331>, AI datacenter shit would happenthat's wrong. the data center craze is driven by the USA retarded "we will spend 500 billions at everything for AI" plan he started, then Europe followed. Private investments wouldn't be able to put enough money on the table to buy the worldwide production of Ram and flash memory overnight. It's your taxes.
>>738443384Snoys are spamming here in droves to distract people from PS5 dying like a diseases rat
>>738443174Here's a tip:>if Trump says he's going to help anyone except himself, he's lying>if Trump says he's going to hurt anyone except himself, he's telling the truth
>>738443384you got hours of gaping and rapind in the old threads are you really begging for bigger dildos right there?
>>738441731I knew it would fucking happen, too
>>738443851They won't, and their games will flop, and the franchises I love will die.
>>738443629Because nips don't earn euros.60.000 yen has equivalent purchasing power in Japan to 600 euro in Europe.
>>738443629Euro is in a great shape right now if you want to travel and buy foreign stuff. Not so much for export. Japan is flooded with French tourists right now.
>>738443851>current PCs will last foreverGood luck being able to run anything on it by the end of the decade unless you cuck to digital ID.
So, the rumor of a Switch2 with removable batteries for europe were fake?
BASEDAs an early adopter this means the value of what I own is now higher
No, I- I won't! I Won't buy a console with no games even if you're making it more expensive for me to wait! I have no faith in you, Nintendo, after you shitcanned the WiiU unceremoniously.
>>738444000It's true but only if they lose their appeal, so it won't happen for a couple years at least
>>738443034Kill yourself troon
>>738441716It means that they will charge you an arm and a leg if they don't like how your browser is configured.
>>738443860D4 is a masterpiece
>>738444010Man the wiiU was so dogshit I completely skipped it
>>738441506Listens to the retarded shareholders.Commits Senpuku. Hello next Wii U.People wont buy an underpowered console at that price.Watch every store sell them on sale then stop buying in new stock just like they are doing with Game Key Cards.
>>7384441022 more weeks
>>738444089>woke live service slop with micro transactions that cost more than the game itself>masterpiece
>>738443384Because Nintendo is still a gaming company that make games.
>>738444159not at all what I was referring to
>>738444006I literally just got mine last week, I feel like Neo dodging bullets now.
>>738444029it's not a gimmic it's the law. It's mandatory for phones, and I think other devices can ask for a delay but that's it.
>>738441506...I'll just wait for the emulator.
>>738444006>You are a *VERY* High Net Worth individual.
>>738442047>company facing rising costs in one area>evenly distributes passing the costs to consumers because throwing it all at one market would lead to plummeting sales
>>738444181No they don't! This was true in the 90's. Now they just rehash, remake, and that's on a good day.
how do we cause the AI bubble to pop? what are these retards even doing with these datacenters? only a handful of companies make any meaningful AI models.
>>738444281what game have they rehashed?
>>738444208You bought a fucking non-OLED Shitch 2? You're like Neo catching bullets.>>738444284The era of personal computers is dead. Dead dead dead.
>>738441506And even worse, Japanese console games got bikinis banned kn 2026, spite Takaichi promised to fight for freedom of expression with Aso/ex-Abe side (conservative) members. As Blue reflection q won't have swimsuit costume, sky 2nd won't have swimsuit dlc unlike 1st(both lacked swimsuit in original), and Nep infinity won't have swimsuit costume. Why did Japanese console game had more fanservice in 2025 when Ishiba was PM when he is feminist, like MKW, GoA, Shinepost, sky 1st, RAWG,Seikano, Okayunium?(Yumia doesn't count for she is ugly granny(21) without cauldron).Fuck nintendo for banning bikinis from Japanese console game!!
>>738441506I got mine from Woot for $400 about a month ago, which is what the price should be at the most.
>>738443806yesZoomers are corpo apologists
>>738444318Dying maybe but I have money so it doesn't need to be dead for me. Other people might be fucked over and that's not good but that will not be me because I'm not poor.
>>738443136Sort of. Oil shenanigans aside, him (and Elon Musk) axing the US government agencies that investigate business fraud and other dodgy practices like all the blatant insider trading didn't help matters. >>738443210It's been reported that, in his inner circle, only Trump thought the Iran War was a good idea with most of his advisors and bootlickers trying to tell him that's a bad idea, mostly because Bibi convinced him it would be a short war that would end in a swift victory. Notice for example how JD Vance has faded into irrelevance while all this shit has been playing out.Sometimes it just takes one person in the correct place in the correct time to optimally fuck shit up.
>>738444030Jewish faggot
>>738444284>what are these retards even doing with these datacenters?AI + mass surveillance + world destabilization = you eating the bugs and not playing video games.
>>738443962Why is digital ID a bad thing?
>>738444373>[bikinischizo has entered the fray]
>>738444318>You bought a fucking non-OLED Shitch 2?I didn't buy it, it was a bonus for switching internet providers. And I'm pretty much going to exclusively play it at home on my TV so OLED isn't really a necessity for me.
>>738444284AI isn't a bubble, that's cope from drawfags who expect it to disappear after taking their porn commissions It's the biggest technologic advancement in decades so it's not going anywherethe only issue is that tech companies are shitting themselves and struggling to handle hardware productions due to the sudden shift in demand
Also how the fuck is SNK winning this new console gen by rereleasing the fucking AES?
>>738441506Glad I already got mine
>>738444318hourly poorfag meltdown
I already bought my switch 2 a year agoanyone who isn't retarded saw the price increase coming
>>738443210>the entire world economyIf it was the entire world economy then gas would be 50 dollars a gallon. Trump is just in a position to fuck over a sizeable portion of the world's economy because he is the leader of the most powerful country in the world militarily. Additionally, checks on the executive branch which had already been eroding for decades have been evaporating much more rapidly under SCOTUS decisions in the past few years.
>>738444437But it is fact that Japanese console games cannot have bikinis in 2026, spite Takaichi fighting for freedom of expression. Swimsuit like pic rel is not allowed in Jap console game anymore. See Blue reflection q won't have swimsuit costume, sky 2nd won't have swimsuit dlc unlike 1st(both lacked swimsuit in original), and Nep infinity won't have swimsuit costume.
>all of this is entirely orange man and his parties fault>but somehow /v/ will still blame leftists and woke shit for this
Press S to spit on these greedy chinksS
>>738444284I think rich people are so deluded into thinking that AI is finally gonna be able to wipe the poors off the face of the Earth that they are willing to sell their soul before they give up on AI. Like with the war they are bombing the datacenters that they had in the Middle East and most of their investments into AI infrastructure relied on Middle East slave money thats being pulled but that shits still going strong. Delusion on a grand scale
https://x.com/nintendo_cs/status/2052639637425041792switch online going up tooIT IS A DIGITAL SERVICENO HARDWARE INVOLVED
>>738444514gas SHOULD be $50 a gallon, but the stock market is a fucking sham. Blumpf has played his "We're super lcose to a deal, I jsut made a ceasefire agreement with iran!" move like 7 times now and lied about it each time, and EVERY SINGLE TIME the market believes him and jumps green, the DJIA is hovering around 50,000 despite farm reports being catastrophic, no good news in the job market, and of course the war still going on, but hey, look at the futures market! the economy is booming!
>>738441781every single person in government says 2 things at this point:>AI>ISRAELand that's it.
>>738444530I ain't reading that shit and neither is anyone else.
I am iffy on buying one just because I don't know what I'd even play, but in the future I'd like Duskbloods and OOT Remake. Star Fox remake makes me slightly worried they just do a 1:1 visual remake again with some QOL like the 3DS remake. Zero interest in DK Bonanza, or Pokemon.
>>738444449It is a bubble in that it is being sold as being more than it is and being more reliable than it is. It is also the biggest technological advancement in decades and has many great uses. But it's being shoehorned into places where it's not very useful because it is not reliable. The bubble will pop but it won't go to nothing, it will just find itself in a more appropriate market share.
>nintendo expects 20% less profit next year even with zelda's movie and, ir rumors are correct, OOT remakeSus. Is that just so they can brag about "beating their expectations" next year?
>>738444284Bomb india into ashes.
>>738444604>Notice of price change has been posted.Welp, I guess gaming is over.
>>738444604>NO HARDWARE INVOLVEDanon, what do you think a server is
>>738444449We had a housing bubble that popped but people still have stock in that shit dude. AI can be around forever that doesnt mean stocks will
>>738444614The stock market trusts Trump, what's wrong with that?
>>738441506>4 months before it takes effectI'll just get one sooner than later. If the next Xenoblade game was announced at their usual June Direct I was gonna buy one anyway.
>>738444181They're now a movie company that makes remakes of old IPs to tie in to the movies
>>738443136RAM prices went up around August 2025. What happened from August until now?Trump completely unregulated all AI advancement and data center construction. He even made an executive order to stop the states from regulating it themselves.>Executive Order 14318, “Accelerating Federal Permitting of Data Center Infrastructure,” aims to accelerate the development of AI-related infrastructure in the United States by reducing regulatory barriers and deploying U.S. government resources.>Executive Order 14320, “Promoting the Export of the American AI Technology Stack,” underscores the strategic importance of AI in shaping the future of global power dynamics, economic growth and national security. >Executive Order 14319, “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government,” aims to address concerns by the Trump administration that artificial intelligence systems, particularly LLMs, may be compromised by ideological bias, which is described in the executive order as principles associated with “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI). >On December 11, 2025, the White House issued a major Executive Order (EO) titled "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence". The order aims to consolidate AI regulation under a single, "minimally burdensome" federal standard to maintain U.S. global dominance and prevent a "patchwork" of conflicting state laws.
>>738441781
>>738444703well considering he's lied about literally everything and the war is still going...
Wow thanks trump!
>>738443136He's part of it but not the sole cause. The biggest factor for hardware price increases at the moment is AI Jews buying up the world's RAM supply for data centers, though I'm sure the Iran shitshow isn't helping since the Strait of Hormuz is a major chokepoint for fuel supply.
Their stock will tank anyway because investors literally scroll X (Formerly Known as Twitter) and see those "AI is already replacing Hollywood" jeet videos and are 100% convinced that AI can make GTA VI right now at this second. Nintendo should have used their weak stock chance to buy themselves out and go private. Vidya is cooked when your investors literally think the "create Fortnite 2 button" is something that exists right fucking now.
>>738444614You have it in reverse. The stock market is still rolling because gas is not 50 dollars a gallon. Gas prices not rising so dramatically is what is keeping the stock market going hot, it's not the case that the stock market going hot is keeping gas prices from rising from 4.50 to 50 dollars.He's a retard you won't get argument from me there, but the gas prices are determining the stocks more than the stocks are determining the gas prices right now.
>>738444680they need to raise prices for the existing servers they own?
>>738444558Nintendo will regret abandoning Chinese market which caused switch 2 to lack titles as Nintendo rejected Chinese game and become greedy as fuck like Key card and expensive software and hardware as they lacked money. And even worse, switch 2 bans bikinis from 3rd parties, spite they abandoned Chinese market to avoid censorship. How double standarded.While PS5 embraced Chinese market and has rich titles thanks to accepting Chinese games. And having lots of money so that they have plenty of titles, no greedy practice like key cards. Embracing China and Korea's freedom of expression like Stellar blade and Marvel rivals made PS5 censor less. As Japan is censor happy and Korea and China are more free.
>>738444734>well considering he's lied about literally everythingThat's not true, he was honest about one thing.
>>738444664Dude the Japanese dont even know if they will have gas for their cars by the end of the year, priorities are changing fast and youd have to be delusional(or American) to not see it
>>738444724why do you want to restrict AI advancement?
I just want.... new color switch2....why is it so ugly for shit sake.
>>738444781>The stock market is still rolling because gas is not 50 dollars a gallon. Gas prices not rising so dramatically is what is keeping the stock market going hot,and there is zero reason whatsoever for crude and the oil market not going to the moon, but SOMEHOW its hovering aorund 100 a barrel still despite, AGAIN, trump lying about everything and india/australia literally going into crisis

>>738441506i expected a huge jump, but this... this is fine.

>>738444871Why would crude oil prices go to the moon? The world has plenty of oil. America is a major oil producer and they're making a lot of money from this.
>>738444871I'm not saying that there is no interplay, I'm saying that the stocks are looking at the gas prices more than the gas prices are looking at the stocks, that much is obvious. If this shit doesn't end soon then one of the two will eventually go to hell and drag the other with it.

>>738444284Just become Amish. The AI bubble is the same as the gunpowder bubble, the printing press bubble, the factory bubble, the electricity bubble, the internet bubble, the smartphone bubble, the personal vehicle bubble.

We're in a painful transition rn. But we push forward. Soon we'll be able to generate our own video games with AI.
>>738441506$500, means it's 600 Eur and even more in the northern shitholes.That's a bad joke.Too bad Japanese are too attached to Nintendo so they will still succeed no matter what sort of jewish tricks they might employ.

>>738445276Tenacious little bugger aren't you
Stock market doesn't react to actual news but the concept of news. It goes up if they think a news will make them money and down for the opposite. It's feels over reals for them. They know Trump is lying his ass off but it does not matter because they know he's playing the market and playing along means they make money.
>>738444804Japan has easy access to american oil.It's China and India that are the most in trouble
>>738444558>>738444875>>738444954>>738444989Yeah.

>>738445116Oil prices not "so low" though, prices are still elevated, but the largest exporters of oil are heavily incentivized to not raise the prices too much to keep the market stable. That's probably just as much why UAE left OPEC as Iran's attacks. You tell me what's more likely>the president known for being a retarded liar who has retardedly lied constantly is soothing the global stock market by saying "it's cool man" when if he hadn't said that oil would be 10x more expensive crashing the global economy irreparablyor>oil-exporting nations are exercising price controls as they historically always have to make sure that the supply shock of a portion(not all, a portion) of these resources does not spiral and cause even more instabilityIf you have a functioning brain you should realize that most people do not want the global economy to totally crash and they are pulling levers to make sure that doesn't happen. As I said, if it goes on for too long then such mechanisms may stop being adequate.
>>738441506Yeah yeah keep trying to shift the message snoy.
>>738445327meanwhile on pc you pay $3000 to match the ps5 pro's $900 specs and your game options are either buying digital licenses or begging russian trannies to crack drm infested games
>Nintendo thread>Anti AI>Anti TrumpYeah that sounds about right.
>>738445432woah, who knew tendies were so based
>>738441676>assuming everyone shares your own nationailtyDo Americans really..?
>>738441689idiot, you have to give them time to tally it up and see who qualifies
>>738441549Bought it a couple months ago for Pokopia and anticipating this sort of thing. Glad I made the plunge.
>>738445432Being anti-Trump is just common sense.
>>738441627Why are the American countries wasting people's time by making them calculate taxes separately to know what they're going to actually pay>oh but each state and province has their own tax rate it CAN'T be in the priceSo do all European countries.
>>738441506I have no intention of ever buying a console again. Switch 1 was my last one I guess.Why bother? The way the world is headed you will have to show your driver's license to play 1 hour of your allotted gaming time a day then pay credits to get another hour.Hoard your old offline shit.
>>738443806Entertainment culture is different. Current consumers value comfort and familiarity above all else so established brands are entrenched.
>>738442927So Indians have historically always been the bad guys huh
>>738445494It isnt healthy to be projecting this much about your inadequacies while talking about the greatest man of this century.
>>738445505I am 100% in that exact same boat, eerily down to Switch 1 being my last console. I have all my shit backed up on ruggedized SSDs, I can retro game for decades because of the file sizes of old vidya.
>>738443390greemdev was a fucking retard. he was only capable of priding the ryu logo and basic code edits.>emulator scene is totally fuckedyup. even AI cant help the eden and citron ((teams))
>>738441506Still not buying.
>>738443637>Xbox is lowering prices>Xbox Helix>$1200-$1500>Xbox Mode only>Xbox Store only>Xbox Library only>"timed" exclusives>Game Pass still cost more than it originally did>no games>since it's Win32 now, it'll have online DRM checks every year to see if you're online and will never give you an offline license for your gamesOnly the Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2 are worth getting next gen and MAYBE the PS6 handheld, but they entirely depends on Sony.
>>738445505>>738445579I have to buy a Switch 2 once a game I must play is made available. Until that point, it's none of my concern.
>>738442072doesn't matter, it's still better in the long runafter doom was created, consoles should have nev er been a thing
i voted for this, should have bought it earlier poorfags
>>738445612If you have to make up lies to hate on Xbox then they're still a major competitor after all.
>>738445132Warned in fake stories? Kek you have trouble telling fantasy from reality. Communist tard.
>>738445692>xhe doesn't know about cautionary tales
>>738445626If Mercurysteam or whoever else makes a sequel to metroid Dread that fixes my issues with that otherwise great game and it rivals Super then I will buy a switch 2 out of respect. Nothing else will even tempt me. So so so so so so glad I didn't fall for the Prime 4 hype. Shame it turned out how it did but 3D metroid is secondary for me.
>>738445593greemdev isn't as dumb as he seems, I saw him pushing commits that touched some core functionality even after the initial ryu branches got merged in
>>738441652>this economy turning to shit Stop blaming the economy, you dingus, it has nothing to do with the economy, this is purely corporate greed, this is the same cope people used when Sony raised Piss5 prices, "uhhhh it's actually the high ram and storage prices, my pet company is not to blame!!!", "uhhh there's also Trump's war in the middle east affecting global economy!!!". Thing is, these corporations are desperate to milk their users of every single cent they can get away with, Sony itself was very open about that in one of its announcements, raising console prices is one form of doing, and you can absolutely expect changes in other services that they offer, like NSO subscription, the games' prices... Right now these companies have the best opportunity to put these hikes in practice, because they can conveniently point the finger at either Trump or the Ram/Storage market or both and get away with milking their customers dry.
>>738445568>the greatest man of this century.The real TDS.
>>738442072bro can fit a ps2 library in there
>>738444805Generative AI is about as close to the concept of a digital cancer as you can get.
>>738445669There ain't no lies, dipshit. Helix isn't a Steam Machine, it's a locked-down PC that will cost close to $2000. Microsoft plans to pull the plug by 2030 if Xbox can't give them their 30% profit margins. Xbox era is over, and that Project Green shit they're doing for handhelds is retarded and backwards compared to how Nintendo does it, how Valve does it, and how Sony is going to do it for the PS6. Microsoft is retarded for wanting the baseline to be their most powerful device instead of their weakest device.
NINTENDO FIRE THIS MAN
>>738441506I boughtened (used). It was obvious. Literally not my problem.
>>738446312Sorry to break the bad news but Nintendo is not doing layoffs like Sony and Microsoft, they're hiring, so Nintendo hire this man won (see: Star Fox)
>>738445568.... for israel
Who the fuck buys consolesEveryone on /v/ should have a PC and that's all they needThis shit is not real
>>738441506$500 for the weakest console of the generation with the most expensive games and the most QA issues. Sounds like a steal for the rabid cultists.
>just boughted not even 12 hours agoI am so so sorry.
>>738446589
>>738441506I guess we had it good for a while my fellow tendiesWe are back to being a laughing stock...
>>738446983still sony
>>738441506>our shitty console with no games is not selling, check you this *click*>price hike for our old stock that collecting dust into storehouses>oh ma gawd>better buy a switch 2 right away!>a month later>we are proud to unveil... Switch 2 oled.:O
>>738447150It is selling though, this is trumps fault
>>738441506Just got mine last month because I felt this was coming, I'm not usually an early adopter but this shitty climate forced me to pull the trigger
>>738447150>20 million units sold in 10 months>Fastest selling console of all time>PS5 and Xbox are dead in he water
>>738447150best selling console of 2025 and best selling in march 2026, btw
>>738445497Kek this, it's nothing but a way to try and manipulate people when they make a purchase, same with how things are priced 49.99 instesd of 50, and somehow Americans have been fully convinced it's crazy to just set the price after tax in every state while at the same time turn around and say "every state is practically its own country"It makes zero sense to not put the price after tax, you pay the price that it is no matter what, why the fuck does it matter what the price is before tax when you have to pay the tax no matter what?It's not like the tax changes day by day in each state
>>738441658>>738441506goods might be expensive but at least there are no transgender- *fumes over the next woke game*
>>738441506The Switch 2 will finally cost the amount people have incorrectly thought it's costed since launch. I wonder if people will still say it's a $500 underpowered tablet or if they'll adjust their price to $600 or something.
>>738447276>this shitty climate>buying a console because of the bad weatherretard
>>738447523Nah, people already said that it was $600, so they will adjust it to $700
>>738441746Yes, won't be long till it hits the US
>>738445560nah, it was a britbong shipping company that forced countries like china to trade with it>>738442927We had international free trade until fat pedophile retards like Trump fucked up everything globally. The quality of life is objectively worse on every scale, but NEETs love him because they post funni ai maymays
>>738445497>>73844742318+ website
>>738443405>it's in the best interest to open up as much manufacturing in America to lower prices and to ensure stability for future manufacturing.Trump called ICE on the people trying to establish manufacturing plants in Georgia and burnt bridges, he is your average low IQ white conservative retard.
>>738441506What are we going to do now...
>games are 1/5th of the console Lmao, fuck nintendo.
Imagine thinking you're a gamer and you don't already own the newest Nintendo
>>738441506>The Shitch 2 is the most successful console eve- ACKKKKKKKKK
>>738444460'Cause even League Bowling shits on this garbage generation.
>>738446037You know he's not even halfway through his term, right?It takes a lot of work to undo all of Biden's bad policies especially when the courts, who are supposed to impartially uphold the rule of law, keep placing injunctions on everything he needs to do.
>>738444604>renting ROMsShiggity diggity doo
>>738445432Yes most Nintendo cultists are demented wokies who love tranny link and they/them pronouns
>>738441506>another price hike>after getting sued for the previous oneSomeone is getting fired at the end of the month.
>>738444497Anyone who bought this shit with no games is retarded
>>738447848why is it always latinx or eastern yuropeans crying about nintendo
>>738447848>>738447950>>738448078>>738448113Nice samefagging
>>738441668lol
>>738448140Don't forget the favela monkeys. Foul beasts.
>>738448113i still don't get why people pretend the switch has no games,b it has all the AAs from japan i could possibly want, and even allowed some devs to revive previously dead genres like VNs and literal dating sims
>it's all one boogeyman!What an absolute schizo lmao
The war hasn't even started for real and it's already up $50. Once the ground invasion begins the Switch 2 will be $600.
>>738442459>oil shortage>tariffs>AND chip shortageIt's everything you shit-for-brains.
>seeing lots of JP tweet blaming Sony for Nintendo price hikelmao
>>738442459
>>738448517>war>ground invasionwhy are libs such warhawks? do you all worth for northrop grumman and have stocks in raytheon?
thanks trump
>>738448576I see a lot of tweets saying "it's okay, I'm satisfied with it"
>>738441506You voted for it.
>>738442941Both parties love Israel, I genuinely don't see how you haven't noticed it yetIt's something that Trump and Kamala AGREED on while debating. That almost never happens in this current meta of radicalization
>>738441908They aren't helping, I think it's a small contributor vs AI which is the actual reason
>>738441549>he plays on console>he pays to use his own InternetLol, lmao
>>738441506lolwaitfag suicide watch status?
>>738441531I can buy 3 games on steam for that.
>>738448815Wow 3 slops!
>>738448665You didn't vote for shit bwhen both sides are israel cocksuckers.
>>738448682Yeah but dump started a war for Israel
>>738441780>Do you think leftist politicians are any less all in on AI than right wing? They factually aren't. They were the side that tried to regulate AI only for Trump to roll it back and double down on AI. Why do you retards always pretend otherwise? That aside >>738441908>Given that the impact of various changes in market conditions Yeah it's the tariffs you retard.
>>738448815Yeah i have a computer too you're not that interesting
>>738448845>muh both sidesEvery time with you dumb faggots.
>>738443136>Silicon lack of supply since september>Oil prices>Trump being retardedEverything happens because they need to justify inflation for the amount of dollars that have been printed during pandemic and ended up in hands of the usual rich bankers for the sake of speculation.
>>738441531>>738441597Hey bro I work for Nintendo is it ok If I rape you and your family members?I work for Nintendo so I'm sure you wont have a problem with it thank you for your support brother.
>>738444805You think this is about AI advancement? If this was really about the advancement, then he would be pouring money not only into hardware but also intoaccelerating the research of more efficient DL/ML algorithms. Instead this is about draining all the resources into their data center to collect all the peoples data and create their panopticon.
>>738443136The issue is the supply of components for consoles, tariffs and fuel increases do affect that a little, but components raising in price due to a collective price hike by most companies by 4x is way more influentialNow could Trump have told these hardware companies to fuck off whi are colluding to create this current level of artificial scarcity? Yes, but he either doesn't give a shit or values AI development.
>>738449023You lost and got raped ;)
>>738442459>NOOOOOO THE TARIFF WAR THAT RAISED PRICES GLOBALLY AND IRAN WAR THAT RAISED OIL PRICES GLOBALLY DIDN'T AFFECT ANYTHING NOOOOOKill yourself MIGA faggot
>>738441781Americans are disgusting "people". Genocide advocating schizos and overall violent and greed.
>>738449059educate yourselfhttps://epoch.ai/benchmarks?view=graph&tab=eci
>>738441947AI didn't cause the price increase retard. But to answer your question democrats were the ones that tried to regulate it.
>>738444284It's not made for standard consumers, we have little say in itHowever, AI usage will be heavily monetized, so I doubt it's going to kill off white collar office jobs. I can see it justifying a small reduction of force, but since these companies are investing ludicrous amounts into it, they expect more back which just isn't going to happen The fact that this won't replace employees 24/7 is enough to make AI development slow down to a crawl once this becomes apparent
>>738449132don't even have to guess the color of your hands
>>738442859>PLEASE SHUT DOWN THE 3DS SHOP AND MAKE ALL THAT MONEY I SPENT STOLEN!You can still download those games, jsyk
>>738449153>BenchmarksLLMs are literal mathematical models, they don't reason, they just associated words with the most likely result. This is why they can't tell how many "r" have blueberry despite knowing how many "r" strawberry has. This is like saying someone is more intelligent because he studied the same IQ test thousands of times.
>>738444805Unrestricted AI development is increasing energy costs and personal computing device costsAlso, I can't see a future where this doesn't lead to some reduction in force for some fields. Maybe data center maintenance needs create some jobs, but ultimately those jobs aren't going to be that good
>>738443631>this one person that had retarded tariff policies against the globe and raised global oil prices by starting a war against iran is totally the reason for raised costsCorrect migatard.
>>738447848Easy fix thoughKeep the price of the game the same, raise the price of the console by 500 eurosNow go buy the game you fucker since it's not less than 1/5th the price of the console
>>738448849Both parties have a decent chance of doing this, with or without TrumpI will agree that Trump is probably the riskier candidate over Kamala though
>>738449098Me and Miyamoto will be there to rape your sisters ass shortly. Thank you again for supporting Nintendo no matter what we do.You are a true fan.
>it's only bad if Nintendo does it
>>738441506ohoh nintendol toddler trannies, better lube up

>>738448017Can you tell me how declaring war on Iran helps end wars around the world
>>738450663shut up
>>738441676no one voted for Nvidia and Altman trickery. those are corporations out of control. all politicans just suck moneybanks dicks in order to get funds themselves.
>>738448017
>>738450981So which one are you being right now? How hard is it to admit that you bet on the wrong horse three times in a row?
>>738444604>NO HARDWARE INVOLVEDare you fucking retarded?
Why did this thread fill up to 500 posts so fast when the PS5 or Xbox price increases barely got any posts or threads?
>>738452038The kikebarrier and jeetbox brands are dead and nobody cares about them.On the other side of the coin, said monkeys keep seething nintendo is not doing stupid shit to go down with the rest of the vidya industry.
