Apparently there is a case for Gen 10 to be on the Switch 1
>>
>>58798653
does he not understand that new pokemon gens are system sellers?
>>
every single time there's a new gen after a new console release there's a bunch of ridiculous cope from poorfags about how it should totally be on the old console
>>
>>58798653
The install base for the Switch 2 right now doesn't matter because Pokemon is the biggest system seller for Nintendo.
>>
>>58798663
>new pokemon gens are system sellers?
System seller doesn’t mean system hostage.

Pokémon absolutely sells hardware. Parents buy consoles because of it, but a system seller’s job is to amplify momentum, not replace reach, btw.

Pokémon doesn’t need to strong-arm people into buying new hardware. It benefits more from being everywhere first, then quietly nudging upgrades later.
>>
>>58798668
Pokémon sells consoles over time, not all at once, anon.
>>
>writes a comment on JewTube
>screenshots it
>posts it here
This is a new level of attention whoring that I’ve ever seen. I would say “buy an ad” but you’re a fucking nobody.
>>
>>58798653
>Until Switch 2's install base looks anything like Switch 1's, Pokemon locking Gen 10 behind it would be leaving absurd money on the table
You could say the same thing for gen 3/4/6/8? Let alone basically every game Nintendo has ever made within the first like 4 years of a console's launch
>>
>>58798678
Does it matter when the hardware sales are when Pokemon is absolutely the main driving factor for them? I bought my Switch 2 day one because I knew I was going to need it eventually for Pokemon. If Pokemon wasn't exclusive to Nintendo consoles I wouldn't have bought one.
>>
GF doesn't care about selling hardware for Nintendo.

Nintendo relies on Pokemon to sell hardware, which is why they typically sell lower cost models alongside major Pokemon launches.

Pokemon has no incentive to be better. The only one who stands to benefit from Pokemon being S2 exclusive is Nintendo, and they don't call the shots when it comes to Pokemon
>>
>>58798673
You don't understand marketing
>>
Nintendo's CEO literally said 2025 is the last year of major Switch 1 support and the Gamefreak hack said Gen 10 started as cross gen but Switch 1 was labeled test and abandoned after a year.
>>
>>58798673
>I-I'M POOR!!!
no one cares
>>
>>58798668
It kinda matters right now due to entire tech industry rapidly becoming a meme about currently produced goods outpricing majority of potential consumers.
Nintendo slowing down with complete abandoning of Switch 1 makes perfect sense when a lot of people may just not be able to buy Switch 2. People need consoles to play games and we have quite big problems with that.

>hurr durr poor!
Not an argument. Majority of potential customers is too poor or unwilling to buy Switch 2 due to availability and price.
Nintendo publishing Gen 10 as Switch 2 would mean that they believe that yellow rat is just that valuable, but lets be honest - it's not.
>>
>>58798716
>Nintendo slowing down with complete abandoning of Switch 1 makes perfect sense
no, not really
sounds like you're just coping over not being able to afford a switch 2 the same way you were coping about not being able to afford a 3ds
>>
>>58798697
When it was? Because just in last 2 months or so issue with hardware components went from bad to catastrophic.
Forget people buying Switch 2. Nintendo may just not have enough components to make enough consoles in the first place.
>>
>>58798719
>hurr durr poor

Like in a clock. Sadly it's not changing the fact that gen 10 will flop without Switch 1 version.
>>
Switch 2 is Nintendos last go at hardware regardless
After this they're moving over to 3rd party publishing and making a times exclusive deal with Sony with PC support later
>>
>>58798728
>Sadly it's not changing the fact that gen 4 will flop without a GBA version
>Sadly it's not changing the fact that gen 6 will flop without a DS version
>Sadly it's not changing the fact that gen 8 will flop without a 3DS version
time is a flat circle
>>
>>58798733
LOL
>>
>>58798736
It's true
Hardware is a loss leader as it is, they make money on software
The best move is to combine forces for an install base on 1 console
That's how you justify a higher price tag on games. An $80 game doesn't sting as much when you didn't also need to pay $450 for a console
>>
>>58798733
what makes you think that? Genuinely wondering
>>
>>58798735
My nigger, my retarded, out of touch friend.
If components will not stop going up in price you'll for sure not buy Switch 2 because as a kissless virgin you have no firstborn son to sacrifice to your yellow rat overlord.

This thread reminds of a gamefaqs thread over a decade ago where a bunch of people were certain that Gen 6 was going to release on the DS because the 3DS in its first year did not sell as much as the DS did in all 9 years.
Funny how history repeats itself.
>>
>>58798735
I actually believe it will be switch 2 exclusive but this retarded patternfaggotry isn't a real argument and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it came with a switch 1 version in the end
>>
>>58798733
That's... probably Nintendo's last resort but if hardware costs will not stop going up, they may do just that.

>>
>>58798663
True. Nintendo is already selling a gorillion Switch 2s, imagine how much that's going to skyrocket once Gen 10 releases.
>>
>>58798758
Except your logic is still retarded, nigger.
The situation is different because Switch 2 is not just bunch of 10-15 years old scrap components smashed together into shitty handheld, and everything needed to assembly Switch 2 is getting more expensive or unavailable because hardware producers are spreading their asscheeks for Sam Altman.
You're either too retarded to notice the difference or you're disingenious, homosexual troll.
>>
>>58798770
>I-IT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME!!!
that's what you said before
>>
>the situation is different

>>
>>58798653
the most nintendo wants pokemon to sell is about 30m copies (both versions combined)
they just need to put out a switch 2 lite for that to happen, seems highly likely
>>
itt. poorfag cope
>>
>>58798740
It just makes good business sense, we're seeing companies consolidate exclusives as it is
At the end if the day software sells hardware but when the hardware isn't even profitable to sell then why keep making it?
Let someone else eat that cost
>>
Sure, I'll believe a random fuckass on a youtube comment over actual real and official leaks.

>>

But how else will OP cope over his mom not wanting to buy him a Switch 2?
>>
>>58798801
Not impossible but altering plans adds cost. And we all know how anal Nintendo is about GameFreak's budget.
>>
>>58798801
We already had 2 gens on Switch 1 and the second one released didn't fucking run, they're not doing a third.
>>
Is this whole thread just some financially strapped retard trying to will a switch 1 version of Gen 10 into existence?
>>
>>58798653
Seeing how shit S/V ran on Switch 1, I hope Gen 10 is only on Switch 2, even if I don't have the system yet.
>>
I hope gen10 will be on the switch 1 because Im broke af

Gen 9 became the second best selling gen after Gen 1 and was released in the 5th year of the Switch
>>
>>58798653
>Why are we shifting RSE to the GBA? The GBC has a bigger install base?
As if we need another PS5 situation where there's zero reason to buy it a decade after release because everything on it is also on PS4 and if not then it's on XBox Series and PC. I doubt Nintendo wouldn't want to push Switch 2 sales
>>
>>58798653
The only way WiWa will be on Switch 1 is if they were developing it before getting developers kits for Switch 2 and are to lazy (which is very likely) to adjust development beyond an upgrade pack (That is just an FPS increase)

NS2 will be at 40-60 million soon and after that it's at 80-100m. Like exclusives plus everything in terms of third party support. GTA 6 + Pokemon + Mario + Smash + Smash. It's impossible to deny the kind of sales power that has, not to mention everyone who will just own Nintendo and nothing else moving forward.
>>
>>58799948
GTA 6? In a console as powerful as the PS4?

You're fucked in the head if you expect TPCi to immediately give up on a 155M installbase for a console about to get a 1k price increase.
WW is absolutely a multiplat release.

>>58801664
The proper english word to use there is "in" and it was provided to you on a silver platter. Any native english speaker would have used "in" naturally. Why do you retards always refuse to learn?
>>
>>58801793
I know three languages, sorry I'm not perfect at two of them, unovabort, you will know what it feels like when you learn something other than a bastardized version of english (so never).
>>

So more sales than Saturn Xbox and Dreamcast?
>>
>>58801889
in/on is one of the most common esl tells. you need to worry about basic proficiency, not perfection
>>
>>58801889
I don't have to learn any other languages because my country forced you to learn ours. You'll know what that feels like when your country is in charge of the world (so never).
>>
>>58801977
Unovafart... Not only your country doesn't have its own language, you can't even rule yourselves and you think you rule the world? Cute.
I also learn languages for fun, but that's just me

Yes, I'm sure Nintendo are totally willing to let pirates blow the door to the next gen Pokémon games open right away.

>Apparently there is a case for Gen 6 to be on the DS
>>
>>58798762
I just looked up the article, and the three "major consoles" in question are the Dreamcast, Vita, and Wii U... in the UK only.
If the Switch 2 wasn't flopping, there wouldn't need to be all these clickbait headlines and mental gymnastics to pretend otherwise.
>>
>>58801889
I know english, spanish, german, and russian, btw. Kill yourself, esl.

>>58802750
the -ize suffix is actually the original, default spelling, similar to -or being older than -our, as both were added to mimic french's more "elegant" appearance. Don't take this as me arguing for you to swap to the american spellings of the words though, both are appropriate.
>>
>>58802952
The clickbait and shit is because Nintendo haven't released the latest sale figures yet, so they're throwing ANYTHING at the wall (Switch 2 sales in the UK, when bongs are more arsed about paying their cost of living due to brexit fucking them all ends up). It's sold 10.6m since launch, it's undoubtedly sold another filthy fucking large number over the holiday gift sales window just gone, gonna sell another metric fuckload in Jan sales window and you faggots are going to mald to high fuck when you're expected to have to pay about $700 to play the newest pokémon, because you dragged heels buying in when it was cheaper to do so.
>>
>>58798673
People stuck on the old hardware already have pokemon games to buy & play.
Also the 3DS was considered a joke until pokemon released on it.
>>
Considering how SV was barely functional on the Switch 1 I sincerely doubt Gen 10 can even run on S1.
>>

What is this retarded bullshit? If you want the new game, then you need to buy the new system. These past two generations have turned you faggots absolutely retarded.

>>

The switch 2 version legit looks like a dolphin game upscaled to 4k lol
>>
>>58806162
I bought the SV special edition Switch OLED for Gen 9 and the Switch 1 version of ZA. We already know there will be a Switch 2.1 in about a year, so I don’t have any incentive to be an early adopter. If you only have a standard Switch 1 or Lite, then yeah I could understand buying a Switch 2 for ZA. I’m just going to wait for Gen 10.
>>
>>58806195
The switch 1 version of za was fine enough for a playthrough by me but yeah that makes sense. I'm suprised they didn't do a switch 2 styled z-a special edition and instead just made a generic bundle, the mario kart one was a way better deal unless you absolutely hate mk.
>>
>>58798653
>he doesn't know ZA was officially declared gen 10 and is already on the switch
Sure I'm sure they called it gen 10 just so they wouldn't have to explain mega suddenly being in gen 9 and it's a side game but yeah
>>
>>58798733
Eh, I see Nintendo partnering with Xbox before Sony. With 343 helping with prime 4 and prime 4 feeling like halo infinite lite, it just makes sense. And what if gamefreak just doesn't make pokemon games anymore?
>>
>>58806204
I haven’t played MK since the 3DS so I’m fine with waiting for a special Pokemon edition Switch 2. The only other Switch 2 game that piques my interest is Kirby Air Riders because I loved the original on GameCube. I don’t really play vidya that much anymore, and Pokemon is the only series that I feel like is a “must buy” even if it’s hit or miss. I’m fine with going back to the older Pokemon games except they’re becoming more reliant on online features that become defunct after a few years.
