Why the fuck is this pathetic excuse of a console selling so

Time to let it go Dreamcast babies.

>>375650074
You sound like a shill. Stop making these threads where you suck Nintendo's corporate cock. And if you do keep making these threads at least have some dignity and come out as a shill instead of pretending to be angry over success.

How many threads are you going to make today

>>375650402
Hey, leave the Dreamcast fans alone. They suffered enough.

What is an "actual gamer"?

Now that I'm early for one of these Switch threads can someone tell me how they can look at a Switch right next to a Wii U and not go "Oh no... Not again..."???

Good marketing. Even the metrics being publicized are skewed (BEST FIRST WEEK EVER doesn't mean jack shit when ever dev sells out of stock the first week, other than who has the best supply chain).

I also assume it's got something to do with everyone skipping Wii U. Normies feel like this is the first Nintendo console to come out in a while, and enthusiasts are looking to catch up on the games they missed.

It launched with a Zelda title

>>375651775
>(BEST FIRST WEEK EVER doesn't mean jack shit when ever dev sells out of stock the first week, other than who has the best supply chain)
Exactly

How well the Switch does in the long-term is yet to be determined since its initial performance is consistent with consoles that have both gone on to be successes and failures

It's just too soon to tell.

>>375651775
Nobody bought a Wii U because nobody knew it existed. I guarantee you that 95% of the public thought it was an accessory for the Wii, even after seeing ads for it.

>b-b-but artificial scarcities

>>375651775
This, normies probably think this is the real Wii successor so they're excited for new Nintendo console.

Itss basically a family friendly console, targeted at children and your parents and grandparent. Its the normie console of the year.

That audience has never represented gamers just like mobile games, they simply move to what's popular.

marketing for Switch has been great. my gf who was a huge normie went to one of those midnight releases sales to get in line to get one of these for his nephew. she even bought one for me as a gift.

>>375656421
The opposite. They're running it at 40% power to keep it at the temperature targets they want. Mobile design is fucking hard

It's only selling to nintendo fans and people who think being a nintendo fan will get them more upvotes

>>375650074
>Why the fuck is this pathetic excuse of a console selling so well?


Because Nintendo has a pretty big loyal fanbase that would buy a literal turd if it had a Mario hat strapped on. Namely the 10ish million morons that bought a WiiU.
Its logical that those loyal morons would flow to buy it, but it will drop hard in sales in the coming months.

its a good console.

When it surpasses the WiiU sales, which is never gonna happen once normies realize it doesnt run games like Destiny 2, Battlefront 2, CoD WWII, RDR2, etc.

>>375657776
The thing is, it's running at faster speeds in docked mode without extra cooling. So the main purpose of underclocking is not thermal concerns but just to save battery life

Whether it gets too hot to run at full speed even in docked is unclear. Some of the specs say 768mhz docked and others say it's not limited

>>375658362
>tons of kids want this.
Kids want to play things like Destiny 2, Battlefront 2, CoD WWII, RDR2

Manchilds want to play Wahoo Bing Bing,which is the loyal fanbase that bought the WiiU, and thes the fanbase that will mainly compose the Switch userbase.

>>375658936
Dude I bought the Wii and Wii U and all the Nintendo fan hyped games. It's literally the same trash every year and when they do something "different" like Splatoon or whatever it's a husk of a game but it gets praised by Nintendo man-children because it's slightly different form the usually garbage that they're spoon fed. Nintendo live off of their history and haven't made a game worth talking about in years. They get away with things that other companies would get smashed for just because they're Nintendo. The repetitive PC early access circle jerk and PS4/Xbone mediocrity is far better than Nintendo's pathetic excuse for consoles and games.

No it isn't. Not when games like Persona 5 and Neir Automata exist. You know, games that aren't generic open world rpgs that have been done a million times before. Games that, in addition to gameplay, have an actual story, soundtrack, characters and writing

Not the guy you're arguing with, but I don't really think Nier: Automata was that publicly anticipated, at least not outside of hardcore gaming circles. Persona 5, sure, but not Nier.

I have Breath of the Wild obviously and it's great but Nintendo needs to step it the fuck up. Otherwise I can't wait to see where the system goes.

Also reminder that Nintendo ripped you off and charged you a stupid tax if you bought a Switch. It's technically worse hardware performance than a PS3, about half the Wii U. The only benefit is has is vulkan support which means they can keep the same performance ceiling as Wii U with much weaker hardware: the stupid tax being you're paying for Vulkan more than you're paying for actually better hardware.

Nintendo is pulling the wool over your eyes leading you to believe the switch is a super advanced handheld, when in reality is considerably worse and cheaper tech than was in the Wii U, with Vulkan doing all the work in making up for it. Truth be told, the same exact shit that is already in the Switch could perform 3x better if Nintendo didn't underclock basically every facet of the stock Tegra X1 they've dropped into it.

Any other next gen successor console would be better everything: more ram, faster cpu, better gpu, this that and the other, and with all this new better stuff you pay a new higher price to purchase. Switch on the other hand is worse cpu, worse gpu, less features than the Wii U, but with the new higher price - Nintendo banking on your misunderstanding of what the emerging Vulkan means for the entire vidya industry.

The switch is underpowered and over priced for what it is, taking advantage of the market by being the first console device to support Vulkan, hoping you'll mistake the evident performance gains for Switch games as truly powerful next gen hardware worth the price of admission.

The switch will crash harder than the Wii U did.

Basic physics assures us of this

Yes, mobile is making strides where PC is stagnating because PC is reaching the limits of the current paradigm. But 3D processing is around the corner in addition to new technologies like quantum computing

You can only take a technology so far without the ability to properly cool it. For this reason mobile will always be far behind what a properly cooled solution can be

The games is does have are good, and the gimmick this time around actually gives a reason to buy them on the Switch as opposed to on other platforms (though most other platforms have their own advantages to compete, to be fair).
>B-BUT TWO HOURS
The system lasts about three, maybe two and a half hours while playing Zelda, which is a fully 3D open world game. Games like Puyo Puyo Tetris, The Binding of Isaac, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Bomberman, and other far lighter games last anywhere from 3 hours up to five or even almost six. This is about on par with the 3DS's battery life, which is fine given that battery technology is still catching up a fair deal.

Every game released on the Nintendo Switch does run better on a Wii U because a Wii U has far better hardware than a Switch.

>a console you can take anywhere and play, even if it does have shit battery life
yes, it's what most people want I'd argue. Nintendo needs to get their asses in gear and get some of the higher quality mobile devs on board and making ports on this thing.

>>375663984
Not really
You could send data through a wormhole. It would arrive at its destination instantly, before it would linearly

I mean, you're talking about beaming electricity through the air. Reliable solar power will happen before that

And you're avoiding the underlying issue. Say you make a chip that runs on 50 watts that manages not to need active cooling. Someone can make a chip that's 10 times more powerful that needs 200 watts and active cooling, and people will always want the thing that's more powerful

The only real way to eliminate this is with cloud computing. If everything runs off the cloud then the local processing power is irrelevant

I mean, this is the ultimate form of your argument, why are you disagreeing with me? I'd just like to remind you we're talking about the Switch and it's 2017 and some of this will likely not happen in our lifetime unless there's consciousness uploading or affordable cryonization

>>375664398
The Switch has an Nvidia chip that usually runs in tablets that are made for emulators and that said chip also runs at about 40% power so as not to overheat the system. The Wii U has an IBM PowerPc CPU that is not underclocked and don't just go with the "hurr durr AMD is bad" circle jerk just to excuse yourself from the argument because the GPU is very good for the type of games Nintendo produce.

The WiiU was an abortion of a console that never should have existed. The only reason Nintendo is still alive today is because of the 3DS, and they know that fact damn well because they're still trying to sell 3DS revisions to stay afloat.

The 2DS XL is how you know the Switch is a failure.

It's a home console, until I start seeing games they released on their handheld, it will be referred to as a home console.

Thats the only way they wont fail.

Once normies realize the console wont have key titles like Destiny 2, CoD WWII, etc they will ditch it and will end up being Wii U 2.0

So is this the new Nintendo fanboy thought pattern, "it-it's a handheld", when you have the 3DS still going strong, and a piece of shit still getting console only titles, then it's a home console. Stop trying to disguise how much of a weak piece of shit the Switch is.

It's not selling well. The Wii U had sold more by this point.

It's also not selling well considering it's primarily selling to retards upgrading from the Wii U.

it's not a smartphone, it's overly expensive for the tech and features, it has no good games, yada yada

everyfucking day the same shit with this.
Normies don't want this fucking useless thing. It's arguable whether even all the Wii U owners want it, and is nowhere near surpassing Wii U's lifetime sales to know otherwise.

cool to see someone reposted it though.

You can play AAA console games ON THE GO. What's so hard to understand about that? You blithering retard.

Honestly every game should just be ported to the Switch. I'd love to be able to bring horizon zero Dawn or Bloodborne on the go

>>375666507

This thing is great at pixel loads but crappy at vertex loads.

>>375650074
>Why the fuck is this pathetic excuse of a console selling so well?

Because normies/mainstream thought the Wii U was just a revised Wii so they didn't buy it now the "Switch" is an actual new console to them so they're buying it.

Excuse me they WERE buying it but Nintendo failed to realize normies only are about Zelda and Mario Kart which they've now blown that load early.

Nintendo prematurely ejaculated their chances of being #1 again.

Huh? That's not even remotely true. It's just an nvidia GPU.

There is not a single game that runs worse on the switch.
There's only a variation of how better the switch runs, going from not very much (zelda Botw) to absolutely demolishing the WiiU (Fast RMX).

>>375670310
true ports look identical on the wii u, it's like a 1% buff over the Wii U, on top of ports having had a lot more time to clean up code - aside from Zelda which runs and looks like shit regardless of anything.

No. They patched it, and surprise surprise, the Switch version saw the biggest improvements, while the system the game was originally designed for, the Wii U, saw very little improvement.

>>375670806
and no game does that.

You get 900p/1080p docked with the same exact visuals as undocked, which is 720p and the same quality as the Wii U, which also ran 720p.

Sorry to burst your bubble if you thought the dock mattered for anything except bumping up the resolution.

They didn't actually patch the game, they patched the Switch to allow a higher performance threshhold. It used to be 157 gflops, 307Mhz clock for undocked but they added a slightly better performing mode for developers to use if they wanted (aka the game then needs to be patched to utilize it), that ups it to 196 gflops, 384Mhz, which is like a 25% increase.

Since the undocked mode is the design ceiling, this benefits both undocked and docked.

I haven't bought a console in 15 years but some part of me wants a Switch. No idea why.

Probably someplace like NYC or some other major city like Albany, San Francisco, etc. They're beyond jewish with parking on the weekdays.

Super late to the thread, but Nintendo has explicitly stated that it's targeting normies and casuals, instead of graphics nuts or the MLG crowd

I don't know why people keep saying this ad nauseaum

>>375672258
*nods respectfully at you*

>>375660214
What? He's obviously talking about normies. Nier is probably one of the most obscure titles to come out in the last few years, right up there with Nioh in terms of the "huh, what's that again?" factor.

>Nintendo has explicitly stated that it's targeting normies and casuals

How are they going to do that without normie games?

>>375672293
>graphics nuts
You mean people that play movie games and ubishit
>MLG crowd
And people that only play Mobas and CoD?

Good fucking riddance.

Why the fuck is this pathetic excuse of an OP fagging so well? It's yet another shitty thread by OP that doesn't appeal to actual gamers (with taste).

What the fuck has this board come to? Is this ACTUALLY what the mods want?

>>375665228
Guess the DS was also a failure since the GBA Micro came out shortly after.

Pokken also runs at a sub-720p resolution on the Wii U, so if they do a Switch port, I really hope that it gets a similar bump to what Fast RMX got over Fast Racing NEO.

I still play my dreamcast. :x

>>375650074
Right, as opposed to the "actual gamers" that bought the now obsolete low-end pseudo pc's that have no worthwhile games on them?

>>375659757
Well, Dreamcast barely had any bad games strikingly enough. There was something for nearly everyone, except people who liked RPGs as far as I can tell.
