Clearing Nintendo's expectation to sell 19 million units in the fiscal year ending March 2026.Kneel.
>>738441507>Price hike to 499.99>Price hike in Japan to more expensive than Japan model PS5
>>738441507They are also only expecting to sell 16.5M in FY2027.
>>738441507Waaaait... why would it say it sold 19mil units hardware, then 48 mil software??? Are you meaning to tell me the average switch person bought 2.5 games????Or are they fudging their numbers by including literally all hardware???Don't they have a digital store???
Almost 20 million already? I thought you guys said it sold 3 million at launch and then sales stopped? 20mil doesn't seem like they even slowed down...

>>738441507Keep in mind that 19 million wasn't the original forecast.Pretty impressive stuff.
>>738441618If you buy a Switch 1 game on your Switch 2, it counts as a Switch 1 software saleIf you buy a Switch 2 Edition on your Switch 2, it counts as a Switch 1 software sale
>>738441507>Biggest first FY in history You love to see it
>>738441661wasnt 17 million their original forecast and then raised it to 19? So they even beat their NEW estimation by almost a million? Thats fucking insane.
>>738441824I'm still unsure if for example getting the Switch 2 Pokemon Z-A bundle counts as a Switch 1 software sale since it's a digital game.Maybe they know it was bundled with Switch 2 and that's how they know to count it towards Switch 2?
>Switch 2 Japan only sku price increase goes live May 25th>Switch 2 global price increase goes live September 1stThe japan only region locked sku is only available through the nintendo store from what I know. Guess they don't want to affect the actual console's price over there
>>738441618>Are you meaning to tell me the average switch person bought 2.5 games????why would that be surprising?
>>738441902Their original forecast was 15 million
>>738441960All digital versions of ZA and Prime 4 count as Switch 1
>Tomodachi life sold 3.8 million in just 2 weeksHoly shit.
>>738441507
Great news, total Nintendo domination is always good to see.t. PC + S2 enjoyer
>>738441542>>738441582>Price hike>Lower sales forecast>Lowers profit forecast>Lower devidend paymentsThis is rough for Nintendo
>>738441653No data on Metroid. It’s over.
>>738441507>>738442084
>>738442084So its going to drop in its second year, which is abnormal from such highs, and it will sell less in its second year than the Switch 1 did.
>>738442080Now the question is, do they keep updating it like they did with AC or start working on one for the Switch 2 right away
>>738441507Tomodachi? Dimes.
Shame about the lower forecast for this fiscal year due to the price increase, but I guess it was inevitable. Software should be good thanks to the lower pricing they started doing.
Before 3D MarioBefore 3D ZeldaBefore SmashBefore Animal CrossingBefore SplatoonNintendo has this in the bag.
>>738441507Switch 2 is having a price hike in Japan
>>738441542>>738442119And who would care? Not the japs lmao
>>738442150they're gonna be fine lol
>>738441618People buy more than one single game for their consoles, anon.
/v/ told me it was going to flop
>>738442119>Nintendoom this time guys I swear You people never learn
>>738442225>Nintendo has this in the bagYou sure about that? >>738442229
>>738442167I love watching my favorite vtuber Northern Lion and Nimi Nightmare play with their dolls.
>>738441653>Prime 4 couldn’t even cross 1 million with a combined user base of 175+ million Switch/Switch 2sYeah we’re not getting another Metroid for a decade again
>Before 3D Mario>Before 3D Zelda>Before Smash>Before Animal Crossing>Before Splatoon>Before Winds and WavesNintendo has this in the bag. Once these games start rolling everyone and their morhers will be getting one.
>>738442150Literally not what it says and you can even see it by looking at the picture they made for retards, but you already know that acpedo. PS5 sold less than it did last year
>>738442229it's having a price hike everywhere
>>738442229Oh no now Nintendo will make even more money don't tell the snoys!
>>738442150>and it will sell less in its second year than the Switch 1 did.Switch 1 sold 16.95 in its second year. if Nintendo meets the Switch 2 forecast, it will do the same as Switch 1 if not more.
>>738441653No Mario Tennis Fever data?
>>738442282>>738442229Yea Sony is about to dominate Japan Reports are that the next Pokemon is going to be a Playstation exclusive. Gamefreak is already making moves to leave Nintendo
>>738442308They said switch 2 sold 19.86m in fy 2026, and they are expecting it to sell 16.5m in fy 2027. Ps5 is nearing the end of a generation and has had a few price hikes.
>3D Mario and Pokemon Winds and Waves in 2027Yeah, they're easily gonna blow their forecast out of the water.
>>738442148Hopefully this is their wake up call to put more Pokemon on Switch 2
>>738442343Supposedly flopped (along with Metroid 4 and such) and that is why Nintendo started offering these $50/$60 side titles.
>>738442298You mean metroid prime. Dread did great (also your numbers are fudged because nintendo is counting switch 1 versions as separate from switch 2 versions, so we only know it didn't reach 1 mil on each console individually. It could be over 1 mil combined, but we just don't know. No, I'm not saying this is good for prime it is still bad. Just not AS bad as you are claiming)
>>738441542>Price hike in Japan to more expensive than Japan model PS5Man, can't wait for the cope on Famitsu threads when Switch 2 will keep outselling PS5 in Japan even while being more expensive lmao>Nishino: W-we dropped the price just for you! P-please buy PS5!>Nips: No.Humiliation ritual
>didn't even hit 20 millionoh no no no tendie bros what happened?
Europe is Nintendo's new best friend. No Tarif, better euro to yen conversion. We win.
>>738442486We've known for months it did a million combined. Why he's focusing on this and not the fifty dollar price increase perplexes me
Was Takashi Mochizuki's report about sales being lower than expected and production being cut bullshit then?
>>738441507lol yet another successful "boycott", remember to "boycott" the next pokemon games too lmao
>>738441507But where are the games?
>>738442515you do realize the switch 2 released in june last year, right? It hasn't even been a full year.
>>738442298Well I mean Dread is on record having surpassed 3 million units sold so Prime is probably the only fucking dying. Oh well. Maybe Retro can go back to making good 2d DK games again since they probably still need to recoup money from that sing along game they cancelled after 6 years getting nowhere.
>>738442515It already hit 20 million two weeks into April>>738442505The japan only Switch 2 is not even available through retail, it's a nintendo store item
>>738442542They are expecting to sell even less Switch 2 units next year, so not necessarily.
>>738442421There are more Pokémon coming to the Switch 2 from the Tera leaklegend galar, gen10,the pokemon mmo
If the PS5 had games the Japs were interested in they'd be already buying it in droves no matter the price.But it doesn't so they don't.
>>738442515It has two more months of sales to break 20 million in its first year lol
>Donkey Kong Bananza - 4.52M (+270K)HAHAHAHAHANever forget how tendies tried to gaslight you into believing everyone loved the shitty new DK*Spits on Miyamoto's grave*
>>738442542Of course they were, he only got lucky with the price hike thing since it was something that has been in the air around the industry as a whole.
>>738441961It's the opposite, the global SKU is the one only available on My Nintendo Store. Physical and online stores carry the Japan-only model.
>>738442542Literally everyone in the industry said so when that article dropped
>>738442596Meant retro gens, I still want Emerald on Switch
>>738442596RSE is also seemingly planned to be rereleased based on the FRLG code
>>738441618You mean to tell me people buy consoles to play games??
F for Takashi Tezuka, hope he enjoys his retirement.
>>738442619damn, thats 3x as much as Astrobot sold.
>>738441582I think they are being cautious. Remember, their original target with switch 2 was 15m
>>738442619it already outsold most DK games anon
>>738442542>Was Takashi Mochizuki's report ... bullshit then?Yes. I don't know why people listen to him, his reports have historically mostly been bullshit.
Nintendo wonSony lost
Was this bullshit, yay or nay
is this the actual, non-schizo thread?>>738442692yeah, sealionfag was going all out on the other thread
>Sony is gloating about 160 PS2 PRODUCED.>Nintendo reported 156M Switch 2 SHIPPEDSo without the miraculous 5M PS2 found in Mozambique, Switch 1 is the best sold consoles in history.
>>738442540>We've known for months it did a million combinedDo we? I thought that was just a guess made by some twitterfag
>>738442619>4.5 milly in less than a year is a flopwhatever you say jose
>>738442713Technically the PS2 160M figure was reported as sell-in (shipped)
>>738442591What do you mean "not necessarily". He said the sales WHERE low you dumb nigger
>>738441653the fuck, did tomodachi beat pokopia?
with tomodachi life release it's safe to say it's well over 20 million now.
>>738442486>>738442576Yes, Dread did well for a Metroid game, but I don't know about Mercurysteam making a Metroid 6 after what came out about their work culture. It sucks that Nintendo doesn't have an in-house 2D Metroid team anymore
>>738442762not necessarily, but it's moving fast
>>738442741Yotei sold 3.3M in 32 days though
>>738442148>>738442167
>>738442629I stand corrected, this entire time I thought it was the other way around. Well, either this turns out to not affect them in the long run given they're still the cheapest option, or it makes them lose Japan. I am betting on the former but I won't be surprised if the latter happens
>>738442762Tomodachi is on Switch 1 so the install base is way bigger
>>738442801congrats on your one game selling that much
>>738442790Would be kinda funny if Nintendo straight up bought Mercury Steam and made them a new EU based Nintendo studio
>>738442801yotei stopped selling afterwards since it stopped being reported
>>738442762Well, tbf one is on a 150M + install base
>>738442669You replied to acpedo, he's not actually looking to argue. He's just mad because the ps5 sold less than last year
>>738442664Dang, the old guard is all leaving. It's inevitable since they're all in their mid-60s, but it's still impactful to see.
>>738442834Considering how Blades of Fire turned out, that'd probably be for the best
>>738442664This was probably planned for a while. It's why they got all those younger devs for Wonder.
Also people forget that the cutoff is March 2026, which was basically Pokopia just entering.
>>738442698It was bullshit. He literally admits in the actual article that there were internal disagreements at nintendo as to whether or not they needed to overship the console anymore. It was literally just insider murmurs about inventory management shit blown way out of proportion
>>738442619It really shows that snoys now only just brows X and youtube all day. Reality just doesn't exist in your head anymore.
>>738442834I thought some other corporation already went and bought majority stake in it
>>738442902No one forgot, it's just the resident schizo trying to make the board unusable as many predicted he would
>>738442762Tomodachi Life sold 6.72 million on 3DS anon, this is not surprising.
>>738442867Place your bets, folks: When does Sakamoto go? Does he have one more Metroid in him or was Tomodachi Life it?
>>738442749Then they'd be flat out lying because we know not every console manufactured is sold to customers, and we know they only made a little over 160m
>Cute little Mii game beats 250 million dollar live service game made by Halo vetsI kneel.
Those are some really weak quarter numbers on the software side. Only the casual stuff is doing good.
>>738442749>Technically the PS2 160M figure was reported as sell-in (shipped)Sure they did, Outside of Cooking the Book and "Thrust me bro". They only "evidence"of this now being bullshit is the allegedly "Last Produced PS2 ever" >Be PS2, >Be Best selling console Ever>Nintendo DS is 2M away from surpass it >Sony suddenly updates the sell Count by 5 Millions>Be PS2>Remain the best selling console for 13 years after stopping production>Switch 1 is 3M away from surpass it>Sony Suddenly Updates the sell Count by 5 Millions.Sony could not even ARSE to amend the date. They magically went from 155M as of 2012 to 160M as off 2012. Its pathetic.
>>738442852Ps5 is 6 years old almost and has had multiple price hikes
Funny thing is that Japan STILL has constrained stocks. People want a Switch 2 there yet have to rely on lottery retail.
>>738442965If the Super Metroid remake leak for next year is real, then that's probably his final project.
NINTENDO WONSNOY LOST
>>738442981Where is Anya?
>>738442902Probably why they also gave the (relatively) current numbers for Pokopia. Game's doing incredible.
>>738441507How much did PS5 sell i the first year?
Takashi Tezuka is retiringhttps://x.com/OatmealDome/status/2052643164134031627
>>738442878Considering how Blades of Fire turned out, Nintendo should stay away
>>738443006>People want a Switch 2 there yet have to rely on lottery retail.Thats for the JP Only Model. the Model that is not Locked to MoonRunes only is available but is almost twice as expensive
Pokopia definitely need some dlc though, I've had 100+ hours on it but I lack the motivation after 100% the game.
>>738442981I hope this makes nintendo focus on miis again instead of ignoring them.
>>738443006Technically just for the region locked version The global switch 2 is more readily available
>>738443012Even if that is real, he has said he's not one for remakes these days. He only wanted to do Samus Returns because he wasn't involved in 2 at all
>>738443046damn, hope it's just as executive and he's still around in some capacity, if not I hope he enjoys retirement
And now it costs $500 so uhh...win?
>>738443112>nowit's not yet september
Rough times for Nintendo. Reminder that they no longer have a supplementary handheld like the Gameboy or DS lines to bail them out when their main console sales are mediocre.
>>738443006They're still doing lotteries?!>>738443024Snoys always lose. Nothing noteworthy about that.
>>738443047Dread was great, MS just needs that Nintendo push.Also there's been some rumors of a new 2D Metroid happening soon, so considering how successful Dread was Metroid 6 should be well on its way.
About Pokopia: check the actual presentation. The sales are at 2.41M on the best-seller list because it goes up to March 31st, but they give them as over 4M in five weeks there meaning they're counting up to the middle of April.
>>738442505>c-can't wait...>Shitpan Kek meanwhile we can't wait to see Shitendo die a slow death lmao.
>>738443143>Rough times for Nintendo.Still by far the cheapest Console, LOL, if its "rough times for Nintendo" The rest of the industry is dead.
>>738443137he's just used to sony shadow dropping price hikes
>>738443143>Mediocre >Has established the most consoles every sold in its first 365 days >With about 65 days left
>>738443151for local stores yeah unless you lucked out on a retailermy nintendo store has stock but it's more expensive
>>738443143you're so delusional it's funny
>>738443143>19 million is mediocre>still expecting sell as many switch 2s in fy2 ast the switch 1 did in fy2You noggas are downright delusional
>>738443046>another one fired Yikes
>>738443143>Rough times for Nintendoanon its the best selling first fysical year for a console in human history, if they are doing rough then what the fuck is PS5 doing with its newest pitiful numbers?
>>738442981>Halo vetsDoesn't exist lmao, Marathon is made by a company full of zoomers
>>738443169they did the same to tomodachi life
>Sony sold 300M games in 2025>Jobtendo less than 100M
>>738443220No actually they’re expecting even less than what the s1 did in its second year, and switch 1 wasn’t even the fastest selling console of all time
>>738443181You mean Sony right? You have seen the MASSIVE losses they had thanks to Bungie and their awful quarter sales right?
>>7384431812 more weeks sissie
>>738443143Gaped so hard crap is flowing out
>>738442762Supposedly Nintendo doesn't count Pokopia copies sold in Japan in their fiscal reports. They didn't do that with New! Pokemon Snap either.
>>738443265>and switch 1 wasn’t even the fastest selling console of all timeYea the PS4 wasAnd the switch 2 just blew it out of the water with 2 months still remaining
>>738442167I hope they make content updates for tomodachi life. None of that "Wait another 10+ years for the next game" shit
>>738443185>The rest of the industry is dead.>Playstation is losing millions to Bungie >Saros is underperforming>Xbox is deadI mean, it really is just Nintendo and Valve keeping things together at this point.
>>738443169damn, is pokopia is ready to do 10 million in a year or two
Missed the forecast, more expensive, online's also going up in price, expected to sell 3 million less in fy2, 3rd party is DoA, revenue in the shitter...
>>738443356The 2 million figure for March doesn't include Japan but the overall 4+ million lifetime figure does I believe
>>738442343Far as Famitsu is concerned, it's the worst showing of the series so far
>>738443421Yeah, the PS5 is gonna have a rough time reaching past 100 million at this point.
>>738443143>profit up 20%>rough timeYeah they need a new money bin, Duckburg's one it getting too small.
>They expect to sell only 2 million units for Switch hardware this fiscal yearit won't reach 160m, it's over.
>>738443265>No actually they’re expecting even less than what the s1 did in its second year,Uh.. no? You just making shit up now?
>>738443421>Missed the forecastThe initial forecast was 15 millionThe revised forecast was 17 millionThey sold 19.86 million>Online going upOnly in Japan
First console gen I'm glad I was an early adopter for. I could sell my series x for a profit rn
>>738443459And another 2 million units in the year after that
Since the Switch 2 is at 20 million by now, and they forecasted 15 million in the first year, how big of a difference will april-june make? will they hit 23 million by june? 8 million more than predicted is a big difference.
>>738443280SIE is healthier than ever. Nintendo is zombie waiting to be shot down.
>>738442619That's really good, would be a top 10 sales number on PS5
>>738443379And, looking at the results from these two companies, I feel for Valve and their plans to enter the hardware market. They just don't have the means to acquire hardware like Nintendo or Sony - the Steamcube is going to have to sit tight as a niche product for a few years.
>>738443459They should just make 10 million of them and sell them for scrap to third world countries like Sony did with the PS2
>>738443521>healthy
>>738443462Switch 1 sold 16.95m in second fiscal year, s2 will only do 16.5m
>>738443521Did you miss the part of their sales report where the ps5 sales did a massive fucking nosedive BEFORE the price increase?
>>738443521>SIE is healthier than everanon they just released a first party game that is performing really badly, not even a million yet.
>>738443421>Missed the forecast,they beat the forecast, Nigger
>>738443521If Nintendo is a zombie then wtf is this?Bones?
>>738443519Not much, Pokopia may have some lingering effects in April but there's not really any big sales driver this month.It'll probably comfortably reach about 21 million. Maybe they'll announce what the year 1 numbers were during the June direct
>nearly 20 million in 9 monthsIt’s still doing good
>>738443516It’s literally halving year over year and they missed the 4m sold projection for this past year. Came up at 3.8m
oh is this why snoys are mad? because sony's report was horrible?
>>738443519>and they forecasted 15 million in the first year,Fiscal year, not full year. They did not make a prediction for the full first calendar year because it's irrelevant to their financials.
>>738443592>Sony is projecting less PS5's sold this year compared to last year, despite both Wolverine and GTA6 launching this year. Holy fuck it might actually be over for PS5 before PS6 even launches.
Nintendo was heavily subsidising the japanese market. Probably still is but they decided the prices should be more competitive with the rest of the world
>Switch 2: 2.5 million this quarter>PS5: 1.5 million this quarterWhat happened? I was told Switch 2 massively outselling PS5 in the US and Japan didn't matter and I shouldn't ignore Europe (we don't have monthly data for Europe) which was going to save PS5
>>738441507and still no truely good games
Is there any other fanbase as delusional as Sony bros? Sony is out there losing literal hundreds of millions to Marathon and these faggots think that's comparable to Nintendo just barely beating their fy forecast lol.
>>738443619It will be shy of 158m by March 2027 most likely, who knows the legs of it after that? It’s getting a price hike in Japan, and it’s likely going to be discontinued in europe in early 2027 due to the battery laws coming out
>>738443621BEYOND fucking horrible, we are talking historic levels of losses and bad mojo all around.
>>738443190I wonder how many times Sony is going to announce PS5 price hikes between now and September
>>738442167And Chuds had the nerve to say woke was dying, yet it still sells millions
>>738442641get a paperclip
>>738443695someone should tell them to try making games
>>738443696they need to make up the money they spent on bungie somehow
>>738443673> I shouldn't ignore Europe (we don't have monthly data for Europe)Funny thing is we have partial EU data, but its all software based, and judging by that the Switch 2 is starting to dominate the charts more often over here aswell.
>>738443647Do well still think GTA is gonna make it? We're only 6 months away from the current release date and there's no trailer, no marketing, nothing.
>>738443647Told you. GTA6 would bump the sales if PS5 was 2 years old, not 6. Anyone who wanted to get one for GTA6 already did it years ago before it got price hiked 3 times
>>738443621Yes Marathon was revealed to be the flop of the millennium everyone but snoys knew it was, barely hanging on by a thread
>>738443695making nearly a billion in losses is insanity t b h
>>738443690It's fucking great, makes me laugh even harder since god hates them
>>738443690they're latching onto mochizuki (who also shat on sony for the record) and the 50 bucks price hikeit's fucking pathetic
>>738443790They are underestimating it. Ever heard of beating projections?
>>738443778they keep saying they greenlit the marketing budget already so it's now or neversummer game fest must have something
>>738443795wait a fucking BILLION, holy shit
>Shitendo's report is so bad that the pedophile cultists have to deflect to Sony Grim.
>>738443861anon only nintendo underestimates their own numbers and beat em, sony just goes on the "big black hope" idea and crash whenever their hubris acts up.
>>738443913lmaooo mochizuki really is a rat
>>738443913This explains everything.
>>738443913Anon they have lost 700 million due to Bungie and Bungie underperformed by 200 million in revenue
>>738443913why are you using Mochizukis words when we have the numbers plain to see here? >>738443592
>>738443592>$760 million in loss due to bungieit's the gift that keeps on giving
>>738443913I see people complaining about what happened to bungie but Sony still posted a decent increase in operating profit. Meh.
>>738443538The Gabecube is going to be a niche product no matter what. It specifically targets the console market with a less modular pre-built pc.
NintenDeen won.
>>738443913Do journos at least get paid to pull off this shit or are they really the biggest Sony bootlickers ever
>>738443913If this anti Sony faggot is praising it than the results must be really good. What did he say about Nintendo?
>>738443913holy melty.
>>738444012He said switch 2 wouldn't hit 20 million in its first year and it already has lol
>>738444012isnt he getting raped and gaped on twitter 24/7 nowadays?
>>738442167>Im nonbuyn-ACK
Mochizuki must be a Sony shareholder.
>>738444009It would have been nice to see it in action in a friendlier market - competition is good.
>>738444012What did he win exactly? his family hates him, his YT channel is dead, he's been banned on multiple sites, everyone on twitter makes fun of him
Ninty pedo melty itt
>>738442167>2weeksand this data is already outdated
>Nintendo announced they've hired 461 employees so far in Fiscal 2026. >They now have 8,666 employees total.Minor news but it's a pretty big increase, 5% of their total workforce.
>>738441582With OoT Remake, Pokemon and potentially new 3D Mario they'll go over that easilly.
>>738443592et tu, Tassi?
>>738444074Nintendo? Always. I'm going back to instigate.$500 for a piece of dogshit plastic? Yeah we gon feast on X!
>>738444186Odd how the people who often talk about how unsustainable game dev as a job is and how easily you get laid off at the whim of a an AI arent really talking about how Nintendo avoided all the traps that create such a hostile environment,
>>738444009I think the problem steambox has is that its "biggest draw" is having access to your full steam library, but console gamers don't have a steam library so they don't care
>>738444195Switch 2 getting a price hike right before GTA 6 releases and pulls the entire market towards PS5 and Xbox X/S. The Switch 2 is even going to be more expensive than it already was than Series S.
>>738444270I'm more on the "why would I get a deck/box when I have a pc".
>Not even a full year and is already completely embarrassing the Switch 1 despite orange retard and ai destroying the world economy.Nintendo always wins.
>>738444313isnt GTA 6 slated for November?
>>738444263the trap to avoid is making one game every 6 years. nintendo makes 10+ games per year so their employees can work all year long and hop from projects to projects, while a AAA game will only need artists for a certain numbers of months before they have nothing to do until the devs take over and then have nothing to do until the testers (that had nothing to do before) are finally needed. so instead everybody is hired for a year or two and fired afterward until the next project 6 years later.
>>738444263Cause The current Practice and the Gloating are mutually exclusive to nintendo labor and developing practices. So they CAN NOT praise nintendo without 100% admitting to being wrong about everything else.
>>738444327Yeah, that too. I don't think it's going to be particularly appealing to either markest
>>738444370Yes
>>738444390also they don't have idle handsit's why you see stuff like monolithsoft helping other games, or other devs from certain teams helping out other games
>>738444195Pokemon isn't next fiscal year and is probably the reason it's lower.Pokemon is probably October 2027, so it'll be in the year after's calculus
Here's the OST for this thread https://youtu.be/BE3qpoqWhfo
>>738444575Who is going to be playing Pokemon when GTA 6 is out?
>>738444263The problem is that they all want the idealized game dev environment of pic related but they hate it that nintendo of all companies are the ones doing it.
>>738444634Everyone that's not black
BREAKINGINTELLIGENT ANALYSTS PREDICT NINTENDO TO STOP MAKING SWITCH 2 GAMES AND ABANDON ITIT'S OVER FOR NINTENDO
>>738444634All the adults.
>>738444687holy fuck Dring is retarded LMAO
>>738444704trve
>everything keeps getting more expensive and prices never go back to what they werecan someone who understands economy explain to a brainlet how long can this go on and what is the end game?
Gonna be real funny to read this thread when Bungie gets hit with massive layoffsAlso non-zero chance that they take down Housemarque after Saaaros poor performance
>>738444730it'll go on until people mass revolt, so never, bread and circuses
>>738441618>Are you meaning to tell me the average switch person bought 2.5 games????The average snoy can't comprehend this.
>>738444730AI shit
>>738444687>This is the people who call nintendo a cult
>>738444730>what is the end game?Rich people getting richer>How longTill 2 or 3 AI Executives are killed on the streets.
>SIE is healthier than ev-ACK!
>>738444730We used to have world wars to solve this issue. Now we don't. So inflation just keeps going forever.
>>738444634Nintendo never had GTA which means the ecosystem doesn't give a shit about this criminal training kusoge
>>738444687Dring might get community noted AGAIN because what the fuck is that take?>MK World : 14.7 million>DK Bananza : 4.5 million>Kirby Air Riders : 1.8 million>Pokopia : 4 millionThe only first party Switch 2 exclusive so far to underperform is Mario Tennis Aces, I will give them that.
Who Else is going to be a pay pig once the OoT Remake comes out?
>>738444934depends on if its a tired and boring remake or if its a new take like a reimagining or something.
>>738444878why would there be a world war when everyone agrees on the culprit?
>>738444730It's because the reason prices went down in the past is that production machine became better as the time go, with component availability increasing which made them cheaper. The release period also comes with extra investments in new factories, adds and so on, but after a while the loans are paid so you can lower the price of the products
>>738444974We CAN NOT have Wars with Nuclear armed countries anymore.
>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - 71.08M (+490K)>Mario Kart World - 14.70M (+670K)World is really fucking close to falling below 8. A 12 year old game. Disaster title.
>>738444934I need to see what it actually is before I do. If it's significantly different or has a cool stylized artstyle (not ue5 realism slop) I'll probably get it. Otherwise it's an easy skip for me.
>>738445057World is simply too casual unfriendly the shit people pull online makes me want to commit atrocities
>>738445045>what is the cold war
>>738445057Holy shit since they ended the bundle it fell off so hard. It’s been in the 14m area since last quarter I think
>>738444850>some guy who can't see straight and gets shit wrong all of the time (because he can't see straight)>a deadbeat dad that will hurt his wife's kids when they say nintendo in the houseYep
>>738444687I can see he's trying really hard to make it seem like Switch 2 hardware and software is flopping.
>>738445057I bought it only because the bundle seemed a good deal, played a few games during the weekend then never looked back. It just wasn't very fun.
>>7384450578 is a better game, Switch base is much bigger than Switch 2 so it's better for multiplayer too. They went too hard with the open-world gimmick and it affected negatively the races
>>738445057World was fun on launch when everyone knew the random course select would always give you a normal non straight line course, then they got butthurt and destroyed the game by cutting that out.They had to reverse course a bit and make normal courses more common but the damage was done, game is basically dead until dlc comes out.
>>738445205This also, the connected tracks are just garbage.
jfc Deen is on full damage control mode on Twitter lmaooo
>>738443913kek more like moshitzuki
>>738445057Looks like a comfortable console-to-game ratio for me.
>>738445057>>738445156How exactly do you expect it to go even higher so quickly? It has a 75% attach rate. It can't keep selling as fast as new games.
>>738445301Guess him getting ratiod by Choctopus got to him, imagine getting shat on by one of the most inoffensive nintendo adjecant youtubers and become livid lmao.
>>738445318The Wii U had an excellent attach ratio too.>>738445341The reason it slowed down was because the bundle ended. It’s legs aren’t as good as the bundle would lead you to believe.
>>738444186>No layoffs >Actually hiring MORE people while their competitors close studios
>>738445057World is 14.7 mill at 11 months while 8D was at 15 mill at the end of 2018 at 20 months. Nintendo is winning hard.
>>738445406Wait, what?
>>738445406Context / screenshot?
>>738445154Not the WAR that brings prices down.
>>738445314>Does he thinksYES.
>>738445427And the Switch 2 is already past the Wii U in less than a year.
>>738445434>Same "fastest selling" cope snoys usedOh yeah it's over for worldcels
>>738445434Except worlds legs seem to be horrific
>>738445441>>738445445https://x.com/ChoctopusYT/status/2052221291420123142
you guys seem to not understand that 15 million copies sold for a system that sold 20 million is badwhy aren't people who don't own a switch 2 buying the new mario kart? why did the super fans who buy multiple copies not show up for mario when he needed them most?
>>738445427It's too early to tell what its legs will be like when its attach rate is still so high. If the bundle wasn't there making it extremely front-loaded, the legs would obviously be better because people would have to buy it separately, but we don't know by how much. And it's almost certain they'll reissue the bundle every holiday season like they did with MK8D.
>>738445525Also found this, lmao
>>738445521There are literally not enough people who own a Switch 2 but not the game already right now for it to sell much better than that. This discussion can only be meaningfully started in a year.
>>738445482And it’s the fastest selling console that is going to have a decrease in sales in its second year on the market, very abnormal
>snoy dooming nintroon>while their console have already $200 more expensive from the original pricekek
>>738443861Not in relation to Sony lmao
I don't think most new Switch 2 buyers will bother with World because>it's not bundled anymore>it's expensive as fuck>everyone knows by now it blowsI'm not even shocked by the fact that 8 will start outselling it soon, it almost seemed like an inevitability
>>738445629>is going to haveIt's a projection. It can outperform it just like it did this year
>>738443521>SIE is healthier than everSo healthy they're about to gut their entire western branch, fire Hulst, and return to their homeland of Japan. Yeah...healthy.
>>738445710It hasn't been bundled for months now and keeps selling
>>738445629You realize that if they hit the 16.5 forecast exact the switch 2 would still be the fastest selling console of all time across 22 months, right?
>>738445629It's funny because tendies (rightfully) made fun of the "fastest selling" snoy cope and now they are using it themselvesBeing extremely frontloaded doesn't matter if you start going downhill immediately afterwardsIt feels like Switch 2 had an explosive launch mostly thanks to the extreme goodwill from the Switch and that Nintendo has spectacularly fumbled to take advantage of it. And shit would be going down even faster if Pokopia hadn't turned out to be a surprise hit for this year
>>738445818The "western brach" IS SIE. Keep dreaming. There's nothing for them to return to
>>738442805https://youtu.be/HMuYfScGpbE
I bet Nintendo gonna release Switch 2 Lite later with OG S2 price.
>>738445875Nishino of Tokyo, Japan owns their asses now. They are fucked after this gen. The PS6 handheld and Astro Bot spell the western branch of SIE's doom.
>>738445872>>738445847PS4 sold faster than any console ever at the time and fell short of Gameboy, DS, Switch and PS2. Exactly.
>>738442167the amount of women I see posting about this game online is crazy
>>738445872I think Ocarina of Time remake is going to be surprisingly more popular than people think, it's basically the most glazed game of all time and larping faggots that never played the N64 or 3DD versions will have a way to play it now
>>738445872>It's funny because tendies (rightfully) made fun of the "fastest selling" snoy cope and now they are using it themselvesWhen? PS5 was never the fastest selling lol>Being extremely frontloaded doesn't matter if you start going downhill immediately afterwardsThe PROJECTED 16.5 million next year is not "going downhill". It will still be the fastest console to reach 35 million units.>It feels like Switch 2 had an explosive launch mostly thanks to the extreme goodwill from the SwitchIt's been the fastest selling console for fucking 10 months straight, faggot. Not just launch
>>738445991The PS4 didn't have Pokemon
>>738443995So are we talking Sony or SIE?
>>738445872>it would sell less if there weren't games people are buying the system forNo shit sherlock, but that's not the world we live in.
>>738445971Nah Switch 2 lite if it ever happens will be $400
>>738446063It is going downhill. I don’t know if a console has ever sold less in its second year.>>738446083Can Pokemon compete with gta 6?
>>738442259Bro if you counted digital store I'd hope it'd average to at least 4 by now. 2.5 is fucking tiny
Look at all these brave tendie warriors when Nintendo itself is already running away from 70-80 bucks games as fast as they can lmao.Arrogant Nintendo needs a dose of humility every once in a while.
>>738445971Switch 1 Lite was $100 cheaper than regular Switch 1.It's purpose is to have something more affordable for children and the like. Releasing it at the same price they already couldn't afford misses that purpose completely.
>>738446159As someone who already owns a switch2 I'm fine with cheaper software and more expensive hardwarekeep crying though thirdie, maybe one day Nintendo will open a Nintendo of the Jungle branch and start selling products in your region
>>738445973Nishino is in California with the rest of SIE.There is no "western branch". Their Californian HQ is SIE. There's nothing else.
>>738446149>Can Pokemon compete with gta 6?Pokemon operates in its own ecosystem and has continually gotten more consistently popular despite outcry over bad design decisions.Meanwhile the new game actually looks like effort was put into it for once, so I wouldn't be surprised if it finally broke through the 30 million barrier.
>>738446149And it still makes it the most successful console in history.Thanks for ignoring everything else in my post because you couldn't make up the reply lmao.
>>738446159>cheaper games is now badniggerfaggot cope deluxe just dropped, no I will not pay the equivalent of $95 for Saaros.
>>738446149>Can Pokemon compete with gta 6?>Can a game not even in the same genre as GTA releasing a year after GTA compete with GTA?What even is this reply Can GTA compete with Tetris? GTA btfo
>>738446226Quick, who takes Hermen Hulst's place if he ever retires given Hideaki Nishino is the sole CEO of SIE?
>>738446350>>738446229So you effectively are admitting that PS5 and Switch compete in different realms the same way and aren’t direct competitors
>>738441507>>738441542>>738441582>>738441618>>738441641>nintendo "sales numbers"lolz
>>738443432Is Camelot finally going to get back to Golden Sun?
>>738446395Sure, but Sony is going to try and utterly fail to compete with the switch 2 with their handheld.It will be a more embarrassing shitshow than the Vita was
>>738442084So they really were planning to just have no games for 2026, fucking hell.
>>738446490what do you mean? We have Saaros and Wolverine and.......
>>738446472Gonna be really funny when Canis is announced to be digital only and suddenly thats a good thing.
>>738446472A bit of a tangent but regardless with something like GTA 6 there is naturally going to be more overlap. It will be much more pulling of attention from Pokemon than most if not anything else. I do wonder how the market will treat a PS handheld though. Will be interesting.
>>738442994>thrust me broSorry, it just amused me
>>738446350To be fair, Pokemon and GTA appeal to the same demographic: children and casuals.
>>738446371Hideaki Nishino, who's currently sitting in his SIE office in California and doesn't have an office in Japan.
>>738446525For Nintendo, the price hike is only $50 in the US and if they have the software that price really shouldn't matter, but that's clearly not the case, what's worse is that that's for a full year, whereas the 19 mil the Switch 2 managed for fye 2026 was for only 10 months.
The fact that the software forecast for this FY is the same as last year's (60M) indicates Nintendo isn't particularly optimistic on this front.Switch 1 was already 120M in FY3.
>>738446687Nintendo always lowballs estimates, and they are expecting Trump to do another innovatively retarded thing
>>738446587Why would a 2026 November game pull attention from a Fall 2027 game?Are you retarded?
>>738446741Digital Switch 2 Editions count as Switch 1 games.>Switch 1 was already 120M in FY3What does 3rd year of Switch 1 have to do with 2nd year of Switch 2?
>>738446784They do, but a lowball should be hitting even with the Switch 2's first year, not underselling it in a larger timeframe, if Nintendo had something up their sleeve, anything like Luigi's Mansion 4, a mid tier game at least they'd have a better outlook, but it looks like Fire Emblem really is their holiday game, Switch 1 at least had Smash Ulimate for year 2's holiday season, who the fuck knows what Nintendo are doing with Switch 2 software development.
>>738446815Because GTA 6 will be paid attention to for years and will likely reshape the entire gaming landscape. It’s not going to just be a short lived thing, it’s going to persist for a long time at the top of the industry.
>>738446741Their only major title before March 31 2027 is OOT remake so it's not a surprise. Fire emblem and Star Fox are niche in comparison, and Splatoon Raiders isn't a proper 4 so will lose out on a lot of the multiplayer crowd The X factor that could exist is Duskbloods.
>>738446929>Because GTA 6 will be paid attention to for yearslol
>>738446929Okay so you just don't understand how the video game market works that's cool
>>738446815FY3 would have been Switch 1's 2018, basically it's second year since it's first fiscal year was just March 2017, these are comparisons of the consoles second year, more evidence that Nintendo launched the Switch 2 with zero software plan.
>>738446929>>738446913Totally retarded snoy cope. Nintendo is expecting the US economy to totally collapse, which is realistic. And gta6 doesn't matter.
>>738442259Buying games that aren't GTA6 has been an alien concept for both snoys and PCgoyim for a long time anon.
>>738446929GTA is gonna be game of month at best. It's not infinitely streamable and children want italian brain rots, not brownies shooting at each other for drugs and hoes.
>>738446929Knowing Rockstar they will release the game, it will sell a fuckton, and then they will just release multiplayer related shit no one gives a fuck about and keep on making money on whales. Its still extremely sad they never made a proper expansion for RDR2 despite the game getting praise for its singleplayer, but decided to make all of their post launch stuff related to an online mode everyone grew tired of within a month or two.
>>738446938>Their only major title before March 31 2027 is OOT remake so it's not a surprise.I mean that's part of the issue isn't it? You'd expect Nintendo to be better prepared. Like you'd expect that we'd start seeing Smash Bros but since they told Sakurai and his team to make Kirby Air Riders instead it's now years away.It's genuinely bizarre that in the second year of the console the best thing they can muster is millenial nostalgia remakes.
>>738446940>>738446973>>738446978>>738446992GTA V outsells most games to this day and it came out in 2013. It tops the charts on PS5 and Xbox and had massive cultural impact. It’s the only game that even matters to a big chunk of people.
>>738446684How badly did Sony fuck up when they moved to California, fired Shuhei Yoshida, and closed down Japan Studio?
>>738447070>GTA V outsells most games to this dayproof?
>>738447039>>738446975>>738447070Nobody has cared about gta5 since the pandemic. Nobody is falling for that snoy cope
>>738447070Yet new games release and dont really care about GTA Vs impact in the bigger picture.
what the FUCK is going on with tomodachi life copies in europepreorders for shipments through june are already sold out everywhere
don't look snoyshttps://variety.com/2026/biz/news/sony-playstation-ai-strategy-tariffs-memory-1236741351/
>>738447119that picture is outdated, it doesnt have Splatoon Raiders and Starfox.
>>738442542>and production being cutThat was LITERALLY kikeberg making shit up and nintendo had to call them out directly, again.Fucking retard.
>>738446929GTA 6 at best has a 2 month gravitational pull of software sales. 90% of GTA players will play the story and move on. GTA Online players are generally people who play nothing but Cod, fortnite, Madden etc. They play games for the repetitive grind and time sink and that's it.It's existence will have zero effect on a turn based rpg releasing in 2027, and even the thought that it will suggests you're either underaged or belong here less than you do on some sports twitter group chat
>>738447128fucking Hugh stealing the stocks because Bubbles is there cockblocking him
>>738447070and yet it doesn't even have a general on /vg/, because it's a dollar bin best sellers only popular in the third worl where people still consider the ps3 a rare valuable system.
>>738447094It sells 5m copies every 3 months. Look it up. It sold like 20m copies in 2025 I think
>>738447070Minecraft outsells GTA to this day
>>738447198>It sells 5m copies every 3 monthsproof?
>>73844719390% of /vg/ generals are gachashit, I don't think that's something to be proud about
>>738447151>more fucking AII am so sick of this
>>738447128French streamers totally sold the game with all the shit cakes and cum drinks.
>>738447198I checked, it didn't
$500 shitch poo
>>738446978No, the other guy validates my point, the software drop is completely disproportionate with the hardware, Nintendo aren't planning for a collapse of the US economy, everything lines up with not having the software to drive hardware sales.
>>738447226so you are proud of being less relevant than "gacha shit" now? This is how small and boring your franchise is. Not even you can put it against other normie shit.
>>738447119>>738447124>>738447171>>738447193GTA has some of the best legs in the entire industry. It’s literally the most awaited thing in all of media and GTA V was the biggest entertainment launch of all time. Yall must be new to this stuff.
>>738447279>>738447246>>738447301Nope, and stop samefagging. The US is dead
Why is this zoom zoom GTA and Madden faggot shitting up /v/Bro it's a Thursday night why aren't you at a frat party and drinking underage or something
>>738447225Google it
>>738445525Sorry but Deen is spot on and they aren't going to do shit after the remake. It only exists because of the movie cameo and upcoming starfox solo movie
>>738447347I did, it didn't sell that
>>738447070>It tops the charts on PS5 and Xbox and had massive cultural impactPS5 is tanking the PlayStation brand with no one wanting the expensive PS6.>Xboxlmao, Microsoft plans to kill the entire Xbox brand by 2030. Nintendo and Valve won so hard it's not even funny.>GTA VWho gives a shit
>>738447347I did, doesnt say 5m anywhere
>>738447370Eric, the star fox leak already included a new game
What's sad is knowing nigger crime simulator 6 failed console certification dozens of times (something cyberpunk didn't suffer despite the game being a fucking mess at launch) we know that piece of goyslop being a cyberpunk tier disaster is an absolute best case scenario, because the other side of the spectrum is the game being so buggy is literally makes PiS5s combust.Nobody should be putting any of their eggs on the GTA6 basked, they should be fucking panicking and looking for anything else to put their eggs on, because pretty much any game released around GTA6 will get a sales boost due to being a playable alternative when the biggest disappointment of gaming history drops.I would legitimately not be surprised to see suicides over GTA6 not being a flawless life-changing masterpiece.
>>738447301You are just beyond retarded I know you're unemployed or maybe used your mom's credit card for one too many GTA V microtransactions but the vast majority of people enjoy and play non normalfag games (Rockstar+ sports slop + Cod / BF slop) do not get glued to a game for longer than a month.I don't know how you stumbled on /v/ from your little corner of sports twitter but you should go back
>>738447151Tank notes people, this is what happens when you become global and give the middle finger to your domestic markets.
>>738447370We already know an adventure sequel or remake is coming retard
>>738447417Nate never said that there is also a new entry
>>738447491See>>738447502
>>738447502Someone gave out Nate's entire leak a week before he did and said an adventure title was also in development Likely they had the same source but Nate didn't leak everything he knew (which he himself said as much)
>>738447502>>738447530Lying save your snoy ass. He literally did
>>738447530See>>738447547
>>738447560Snoy snoy eric get new material
>>738447634I accept your trannyscession ;)
>>738447119Neat, but none of those are major titles that will cement the Switch 2's success, within the Switch 1's first 19 months it had 5 games that would go on to sell 20 million units at least, within that same time period Nintendo will only have 1 title of that caliber, and their software/hardware sales predictions are in line with that, in case you just don't get it, and basin on your reply you clearly don't.The next tentpole release for Switch 2 is Pokemon Wind and Wave coming 2019, Nintendo really had no plans for Switch 2 software and it's showing.
Having Tears of the Kingdom development take so long and subsequently not having a 3D Zelda available for the initial year of Switch 2 was a mistake
>>738447678See >>738447119Pokopia is selling faster than any switch 1 game did. You lost and got raped.
>>738447756Sony made a 560 million dollar loss on bungie
>>738446009Women love Miis.
>>738447678Given we're including MK8D (Remaster port) and BOTW (cross gen) then Switch 2 will have MKW, Bananza (by end of gen it'll be at or close to 20M), OoT remake, 3D Mario (leaked for 2027), Pokopia, and Winds / Waves as 20M+ sellers for its first 30 months Switch 1 was front loaded on software largely because of the Wii U's awful sales and the 3DS's mediocre sales. The entire Nintendo development team flipped to Switch development the second the first dev kit was available in a hail mary to revitalize Nintendo
>>738447839Reminder ziony loves to pad out these numbers with "revenue", which is to say if they made 1000 bucks from a single sucker whaling for gacha in a day, then they count that full number as incoming money despite only taking their skim and giving the rest to the chink gacha dev.And this is without considering whatever the fuck else they are cooking the books with.I repeat, even with that literal jew-tier book cooking, they are still nearly a fucking billion in the red.
>>738441618On PS5 you only buy one game and it's the new Niggerball 2027 we know
>>738448021They reported a rise in operating profit despite the bungie stuff. Nothingburger. They’ll just write it off
>>738448054Hmm... >>738445314
>>738445314what is exchange rate change?
>>738448148So they still made money
>>738448305Less and less money
>>73844834213.4% rise in operating profit. Switch 2 in Japan was hurting Nintendos profitability due to exchange rates the same way. Sony just happened to be on a good end of it.
>>738448413Nope, not if you actually read the report.
Reminder the ziony "revenue" is even worse than it sounds, when the cutoff was march, so it doesn't account for both hoyoslop like genshit and FF14 dropping PS4 support almost back to back.The next Qterly report is gonna be a hilarious read.
>>738448440So how did they lose money? They had a rise in money that they made
>>738441507>Pokemon SV sells 8 million copies in a week>Switch2 sells 19 million copies in a yearYep, it's a massive flop.
>>738448586>>738448681Bungie
Why can't Nintendo just stop winning?
>>738448054>They’ll just write it offNot really What's keeping Sony afloat right now is their online subscription model, but that itself only acts as a lifeboat as long as people continue using the console. The declines in software sales and failures or things like Marathon designed as alternate revenue streams hurts them as the larger community who play mostly multiplats gradually moves to PC. Sony is now pulling back from PC ports essentially hoping to slow this consumer shift and carve out their own blue ocean like Nintendo has, but the consumer disinterest in their software will make that challenging.The PS6 is a bit of an existential crisis for Sony, hence their desperation to try and break into the handheld space again
>>738448681>A Switch 1 game sold this much>Therefore the Switch 2 is a flop?
Eric won
>>738448708It remained profitable despite bungies stuff.
>>738448883the dog cock sucking competition?
>>738448846On that note; Scarlet and Violet has really done extremely well.
>>738448887Because of PlayStation plus, which is a factor only due to the good faith Sony built previously in consumers that is slowly bleeding awaySee>>738448829
>>738445971Without the JoyCons and smaller screen they can easily sell it at $400.
>>738448887>>738448883Less profitable. Sounds like you lost and got raped ;)
>>738448909How many dog dicks does he have to suck now? 156 million?
>>738448887No it didnt.They lost over 250 million dollars.
I hope the price goes up even more so nobody can play the new pokemon
>>738448829>hence their desperation to try and break into the handheld space againBack when they were at their strongest during the PS3 era with PS2 money they still couldn't make the vita win over the 3DS, and fraknly the 3DS was not nintendo at their strongest.Even back during the PS2 era itself at their prime, they could never manage to make the PSP beat the DS, and what was when nintendo was suffering from the goycube selling like shit.I repeat, not even buying or threatening every single dev they could into making games for either the PS2 or PSP they could make the PSP beat the PSP.Now nintendo is in the middle of a golden age and are even stronger than they were during the og wii era, especially due to getting all the third party support on top of having solid first party releases.And ziony is in the middle of a death spiral and have had ONE FUCKING GAME (bloodborne) since the PS4 generation began.What the FUCK makes people think they can compete with nintendo now of all times?
>>738448914I don't know why, it's the worst Pokemon game by far imo.
>>738444687I swear, even if Nintendo has quadruple the profits you'd got Dring pulling this shit regardless
>>738448952he specified every switch (not specifying Switch or Switch 2 mind you) above 10 million he would suck a dog dick for, so that would mean he has to suck well over 160+ million dog dicks.
>>738448212In finance, an exchange rate is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged for another currency. I think if you converted the profit using Yen to Dollar (or reversed), we get less profit than last year. It's like how difference $1 from 2000 compared to this year $1.
>>738446052That and they haven't even announced a new 3D Mario, Animal Crossing, and Smash Bros game. Nintendo hasn't shown all their trump cards to help the Switch 2 to keep on selling. The Zelda game during Winter will be a big seller.
>>738449024You can't say that when Sword and Shield exist
>>738449079>The Zelda game during WinterHuh?
>>738449024For me, it was the best.
>>738449119I'd argue that BDSP are the objective worst
>>738448974They said operating income reached a record high for the segment. Bungies impairment charge did affect it in some way but not enough to where they lost money on it overall in q4.
>>738449119They had better designs and the gameplay was more fun. SV has bad characters, boring map and most importantly i literally don't like any of the new Pokemon designs.
>>738449174No they didn't, making shit up won't save you, Eric
>>738449203SwSh has bad characters not SV
>>738449174>Sony reports Marathon made around $50-75 million in revenue on a budget of $300+ millionIf you invest 300 million, and only get 50 million back, you lost 250 million dollars.
It sold 17.3 million in its first 7 months, and the next 3 months was only like 2.5 million? Is that normal?
>>738449024D/P (not Platinum mind you), X/Y, Sw/Sh, LGP/LGE, and BD/SP are all worse
>>738449258>>738449283I disagree.
SV is good.
>>738449280Yes, January - March is typically a very poor selling quarter. If anything 2.5MM is pretty good for that quarter For context the PS5 sold 1.5MM that quarter and that's factoring in the short boost to sales due to the price hike announcement
>>738449280post holiday rush, yeah it's the "quiet quarter" vs fall sales
so is it just a few guys spamming garbage or is v/ being delusional again?
>>738449336Lol
>>738449146The OoT remake. Nate was correct with the Starfox game and mentioned the OoT remake for later this year.
>>738449507>LeaksEh, I don't believe leaks. But thanks for clarifying.
>>738449441>Sony results are bad>Nintendo results are good>Meltdown ensuesMany such cases
>>738449564so /v/ just hates Nintendo then
What are consumertards buying new gen consoles for? There was nothing life changing on snoistation, there's mid games on switch 2, and it's costing you a liver to buy those things + games. >snoistation 5 pro came out and there's still fuck all on it, zero heavy hitters egregious
is he making a snide comment on bloomberg/mochizuki
Oh this shit is getting worse and worse for Sony
>switch 1 price increased 33% in Japan after 9 yearsSwitch will never outsell PS2 now. Sad. If the price was cut 50% it would have but it's fucking went UP 50%. The economy and our world is absolutely fucked dude.
>>738449727Nintendo probably doesn't care about beating the "record"
>>738449727>Switch will never outsell PS2 now.It already has.
>>738449623>there's mid games on switch 2Majogami at 60fps is a system seller on it's own honestly, and the generation is only starting.And this is from someone that considered DT2 a vita system seller.>and it's costing you a liver to buy those things + games. PC was more expensive even before the AI RAMpocalypse.Also I hate valve on principle nowadays, on top of even pirating not being an option a lot of the time when PC version releases very rarely come with JP text, so your options on PC are either a westoid fanfic or jack shit.And the PiS5 is very much not an option, on top of that a lot of AA games from japan have not even come out on the PS4 for a long time now.This means nintendo hardware and the japanese eshop specifically is pretty much the only option, and if I'm spending money may as well get the SW2 because it runs SW1 software but better.
>>738449727Nigga, if we go by how long the PS2 took to reach 160m, the switch 1 still has almost 2 decades to sell a mere 5 million.
>>738449829>Also I hate valve on principle nowadaysWhy?
can't wait
>>738449507He also said it wasn't all Nintendo had in store
>>738444687This would definitely improve software sales, but in the long run would slow the Switch 2's momentum when the price hikes will already have a negative impact. Arguably it's infeasible, regardless, people overestimate just what the Switch 1 is technically capable of without exploding.
>>738449829If you play niche weeb games on switch I suppose it's a worthy buy. But I never cared for nintendo titles ironically. I'm not saying I don't care for japanese games, I have bayo, w101, ace attorney, monhun etc but purely nintendo games outside of Splatoon are playing so safe and casual that I'm having a difficult time understand the balding millennials audience locking in on those games 100% of the time.
>>738449892>Why do you hate a company that has systematically targeted and discriminated JP games, up to and including rugpulling highly anticipated releases and trying to ban them literally hours before release?>Is said company buying a full yacht company instead of even trying to make their own payment processor like DLsite did somehow part of the problem?>Do you not like how gooks literally go ahead and break steam TOS by asking for botted reviews and get a mere slap on the wrist, while JP games that already went though the humiliation ritual of making it toddler-friendly and making you patch the gutted version afterwards, somehow part of the problem?And this is somehow just stuff that happened within the last 12 months.
I hope an investor at the Q&A asks if Nintendo is moving away from general Directs.
>>738448950haha this reminds me of the type my daughter got raped by a gamestop employee. she was upset for a while and now looks back fondly about it.
>>738450041>Why do you hate a company that has systematically targeted and discriminated JP gamesProof? Thanks.
>>738442084So 36.36 million. Sounds conservative but it'd still be a lot vs how little PS6 will sell. Sony haven't even decided on the timing. >>738442148It's so funny old Pokemon games are selling so much.
>>738442148remember when people got unironic death threats for buying the FRLG rereleases? wonder how many people those guys want to kill now...
>>738450019>But I never cared for nintendo titles ironically.Neither do I.I didn't buy a switch because I like nintendo, I bought a switch because ziony let the vita AND the japanese side of the PS4 die and there's no sony replacement to fill the void, but nintendo did fill it.>I'm not saying I don't care for japanese games, I have bayo, w101, ace attorney, monhun etcNah those are glorified westoid shit, you can have them.>but purely nintendo games outside of Splatoon are playing so safe and casual that I'm having a difficult time understand the balding millennials audience locking in on those games 100% of the time.Why should I care about nintendo's first party output? I didn't give a single shit about sony's first party output during the PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP or vita eras, why should I start giving a shit now on nintendo hardware?Even XC I do not consider first party and I don't care for the franchise beyond XC2.
>>738450087Pokemon is a cult: slap anything with the Pokemon stamp on it and it instantly become "good, rare, valuable" Wouldn't surprise me if most people buying were those balding 35 years old broken millenials
>>738450171>remember when people got unironic death threats for buying the FRLG rereleasesNo. Can you post one?
>>738449667>"the war isnt increasing the cos-">nintendo confirms the war is incressing the prices
>>738450260I didn't buy it. It has less features than my physical carts.
>>738450281When it was just arbitrary tariffs it was one thing, but everyone has already felt the effect of orange retard chimping out on Iran.
>>738447976You're way over with your sales predictions, no way Bananza gets 20 mil lifetime, maybe 10 mil and that's a maybe. Nintendo haven't confirmed a bunch of games you mentioned so until they are confirmed I don't believe it, but more importantly their own sales prediction of 60 mil isn't in line with an Oot remake, I expect near 10 mil Mario Kart Worlds to sell for the fiscal year, and it's possible that Pokopia and Tomodachi both sell around 10 mil lifetime for the period, combine that with sales from Starfox, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, other games already out, that should make the 60mil without Zelda, which would both pump sell it's own 10 mil as well as pump up the hardware and thus sales of other games, An Oot remake and at least one other moderate success (15 mil lifetime) for the year should give us a prediction of around 22 million Switch 2's and 100 million software sales for fye 2027.
>>738450260anon it's a digital gamealso did you just shat on pokopia
>>738450210>glorified Westwood bullshit Through the prism of more talented devs. I won't praise nu moonhun however it's shit. I don't mind playing western style games when it's good or revisited by nips. Vanquish was based. Give it a try Davido-kun.
>>738450382>Key cardYeah it's shit.In all seriousness, I hope they release a real physical version, or I'll just never play it.
>>738450407>Westwood westoid*I'd love some Jap style westwood games
>>738450378So they estimate conservatively so they can smash it. Investors love that
>>738443046Hopefully Miyamoto is next
>>738441507But the internet told me that it was an overpriced flop?
>>738442965>When does Sakamoto go? Does he have one more Metroid in him or was Tomodachi Life it?There's been rumours about his retirement for a while, but I'd have expected news of it to be out by now if his last game really was Tomodachi Life. Here's hoping he's got a Metroid 6 in him.
>>738450449just get digital then, because this thing needs all the power it can getbut my point is that of all the pokemon games to shit on you're pointing at the ones that are good. and moreover it's proven that there's no "nintendo cult", because if only fans bought things, it would not reach that high amount of sales.
>>738450476>Tanabe still seethingkek
>>738450515but who will continue my famicom detective club
>>738450545>just get digital thenNo.I don't pay more than 15 bux for digital games.
>>738450585Read the Ask the Developer interview on Emio, he pretty much said his assistant producer can continue that without him.
>>738450585Somebody at MAGES could take the helm, maybe? Nintendo don't really have that many members of in-houe staff known for writing.
>>738441507Is that units sold or units shipped? ET had an insane number of units shipped.
>>738450382Yeah and? Digital or not, pokemon "official" stuff will always sell abnormally high. I mean people are just shoiwing their home screen on X and reddit to gain clout, even on /vp/ you sometime see them lolPeople used to flex their house or income, now we flex pokemon games "woah woah i bought it for cheap or a lot" "ytou must be broke" blabla
>>738450660That's good then.
>>738450725no I meant that you make it sound like some old physical game with "rare valuable" postand I have no idea what those people are doing but caring about it is a waste of time
>>738442259Uh, yes anon I believe that's his point. Two is quite low.
>>738450774>ESLCan you re-write this post? I have no idea what it's trying to say. It literally has bo punctuation or grammer.
>>738450774Pokemon people are crazy bro, nintendo is already a pseudo cult but combine it with "pokemon" and "tcg/hustle culture" bs and there you go4m for a 20 years old rom that everything can emulate flawlesly is crazy, and it has not been even a year ... no second hand market for digital stuff so once they drop it to 10-15$ on sale, it will make it to 7-8m
>>738450894>bo*noMy bad.
>>738441653>Donkey Kong Bananza - 4.52M
>>738450894>pulling an esl while getting a typokekmy point is that the original post made it sound like it's some "rare, physical" item when it's just a couple of games (and good rated ones at that)whining about "pokemon cultists" is again hilarious when it's propped up by normalfags and casuals buying whatever they want
>>738441653>Kirby Air Riders - 1.87M I love when Kirby games flopI love when Sakurai games flopI love when Nintendo games flop
>>738450585Can’t Chiyomaru Shikura do it? Mages made the FDC switch games anyway
>>738451050More than marathon and saaaaris combinedSounds like you lost and got raped ;)
>>738450897anon there are old games in steam right now also making dosh, I have no idea what to tell youboth of us can emulate old games (and for me I have absolutely no interest in playing gen 3, let alone gen 1 as gen 3) but your average consumer values ease. you would think the board that worships gabe and his "piracy is beaten by accessibility" spiel would understand that
>>738451039>my point is that the original post made it sound like it's some "rare, physical" itemMade what sound like a rare, physical item?
>>738451114>slap anything with the Pokemon stamp on it and it instantly become "good, rare, valuable"a digital game will never be "rare, valuable" for instance
>>738451151What game sounds like a rare physical item? You haven't answered the question.
>>738451050anon it has already outsold Air Rides lifetime sales in less than half a year.
>>738450475Very small possibility, but the software sales prediction is way off what should be reasonable, it's inline with a 2.5 attach rate which points to a lackluster software lineup.
>>738451267They always do that, snoy
>>738442167Nintendo may as well make their own Sims at this point, please also make a new Sim City in co-operation with Art Dink.
>>738451214you said "anything", I literally copy pasted the post
>>738451303Their software lineups aren't always this lackluster.
>>738451258>It sold better than another forgotten gameOk? That has nothing to do with what I am talking about
>>738451393You literally say that about anything, Eric
>>738450171I remember the death threats people got for buying the Mario Kart World bundle.
>Nintendo's financial report thread hits the bump limit before Sony's in less timeLife imitates life.
>>738451353>you said "anythingI literally didnt.Answer the question, stop being scared.
>>738450378>10 mil over the course of Switch 2's lifetimeThat would be amazing for Bananza.
>>738451267Digital Switch 2 Editions are counted towards Switch 1 games.1.5 million of Switch 2 owners who bought Tomodachi Life are also counted towards Switch 1 sales.That's just consequence of having backwards compatibility.Nintendo could've went the Snoyny route and combined Switch and Switch 2 software sales and you wouldn't be able to concern troll
>>738441507Damn, does the Switch 2 only have 2 games?
>>738451527>1.5 million of Switch 2 owners who bought Tomodachi Life are also counted towards Switch 1 sales.Duh. Tomodatchi Life is a Switch 1 exclusive game.
>>738450710You already know the answer to that question, but you still asked it anyway.
>>738451597No; that would be Ring Fit Adventure.
>>738451420Then from what metric did it flop?
>>738451664You think Tomodatchi Life has a Switch 2 verison?
>>738442148>One in five switch 2 owners has PokopiaWoah
>>738451597And can be bought and played by people with Switch 2 who never owned Switch 1.
>>738451665A lot of money went into marketing so I can tell they didn't make a huge profit. That's more or less how I mesure it
>>738451791Yes.Why would the sale of a Switch one game, count as a Switch 2 game sale? Be specific please.
>>738447284kek
>>738451880>I make up my answerOk.
>>738451465>I literally didn't>literally on that original post here >>738450260is this some sealion bullshit again
>>738451880>A lot of money went into marketingDid it?>they didn't make a huge profit.And even with you calling it a flop, you still admit that it made a profit, just not a "huge" one?
>>738449336Agree, very fun game.
>>738451945>>738451950even better, it definitely outsold sanic
>>738451880Knowing nintendo budgeting any copy sold past 1 million deems it a pure proft, so yeah no matter how you spin it you lose.
>>738451725You think Ring Fit is playable on the Switch 2?
>>738452017>>738451664you can actually play RFA in Switch 2, you just have to use Switch joycons
>>738451949Not my post.Now stop dodging the question.>What game sounds like a rare physical item?Name it in your next reply or you I will ve forced to accept your concession.
>>738451449in general. all focus is on nintendo's report while Sony's report isn't discussed much
>>738452089>not my postthen why the fuck are you interrupting? why would I answer your shit when the context of my posts is based on that original post? go stick a dildo in your concession
>>738452060So you agree that Tomodachi Life isn't Switch exclusive.
I don’t think anyone cares but Fit Boxing 3 Switch 2 Edition is shown in the 2026 future releases
>>738452121Further proof as to where gaming is going.
>>738452219oh I'm not that anon, just making a comment on RFAthough if you ask me yeah it isn't since you can play it with Switch 2. I think the only game you can't play with Switch 2 is Labo
>>738452017Yes, it is. I've played it on mine.Srop dodging the question
>>738452186Why are you so scared of telling us what game you thought he was talking about?It's really not a big deal. Stop crying about it and just answer me.

>>738452820>>738452845Thanks for confirming you're upset.Reply again if I made you cry!
Buying a Switch 1 game on Switch 2 doesn't make it a Switch 2 game, considering it has to go into Switch 1 emulation mode to play it
>>738453013>>738453010Why are snoys so mentally ill?
>tendies making threads yesterday about how based nintendo is for selling games for less>nintendo immediately announces a price increaseWay to jinx it, idiots. The impact of this price increase will hit the Switch 2 Lite and Oled models too.
>>738453010>projecting againIt's always the same.
>>738453119Nintendo literally said it's because of the greater israel war nigga.
>>738453061>>738453130Thanks for confirming I made you cry!
>>738453119So the cheaper prices still save money on the long term. You lost and got raped
>>738453119Let's hope for your sake Nintendo catches up to Sony's price hikes. Especially Sony's price hike-to-game ratio.
>>738453119>just 50$/30€>about 4 months forewarningWeakest jinx ever.
>>738453185Sounds like you lost and got raped ;) reply to this if you did
>>738453185Thanks for confirming you're projecting. Again.
>>738453165The price of ram went up 5x and the price of storage doubled. This was happening regardless.>>738453190>other games go on sale for $10-$20Nah, long term these "cheaper" games are more expensive than games elsewhere actually.

>>738453267>>The price of ram went up 5x and the price of storage doubled.Yeah, because of the greater israel war.
Imagine crying this hard over a "yes or no" question
>>738453442Imagine crying this hard over not getting the answer you wanted.
>>738453424No, that's because of AI data centers buying all the supply. This price increase for the Switch 2 was stated as an inevitability by everyone paying attention to PC pricing for half a year.
>>738453442Which for answered, you just cried over it
>>738453491You dodged the question and shat yourself while crying.That's not an answer.
>>738453546You dodged the answer and keep projecting your own mistakes on me. That's not my fault.
>>738453593>You dodged the answerSo what is your answer again? Tell me and I won't dodge it.Do you think Tomodatchi Life Living the Dream, is a Switch 2 title?
