NINTENDO SWITCH has been on sale for a month and latest signs indicate the new console be bigger than the Wii and spell big trouble for Microsoft's Xbox Scorpio and Sony's PS4.
The Nintendo Switch has been on sale for roughly a month and the hype over the hybrid console has been nothing short of miraculous.

However, a new report has suggested that the console could end up being a much bigger hit than first suspected and that could spell bad news for the PS4 and Xbox Scorpio.

According to Bloomberg, "Traders are sending signals that Nintendo Co.’s newest console Switch may be on its way to becoming a bigger hit than the Wii, the company’s best-selling home console of all-time."

This is no doubt bad news for both Sony and Microsoft who have enjoyed such a dominant stranglehold on the gaming market as Nintendo struggled to redeem itself with the underwhelming Wii-U console release.

I say this as a Nintendo stockholder: The switch may -MAY- get to the same sales volume as the Wii only if there's third party support to back it up.

And it doesn't mean doom for Sony, since the PS4 has been some years on the market. It is obvious that the people that wanted a PS4 already bought one, so the sales numbers have been dwindling down. Sure, Sony may have to push their newest console -not the Vita successor (if there's one), but the home console- a little sooner than expected, but that's far from them being out of the video game business.

As for Microsoft, Scorpio's position is harder to read. It's being touted as an upgrade for the One, but its specs and the hype behind it suits better a new console altogether. Maybe Microsoft's marketing department will sell it as such some months after launch.

This news is just clickbait.
>>
>>375753397
This is fake news. Niggers literally get PS4 to status signal to their fellow drug dealers and to play HoopBall 2K17.

This is why every game with a jig protagonist flops. That and the fact that not even bluegums actually like themselves and want to play as a superior race during their escapism time.

Taking into account how all news wire companies have shouted doom at the Korean Peninsula tensions for the last two weeks, yeah, all of them -even AP- are clickbait.

You for real with this?

Don't know if the current /v/ posters were around when the Wii U was a thing, but I've literally seen this happen before. Every time Nintendo releases a console it's meant with great initial sales, then three to four years later it fail to outperform the opposition, minus the Wii of course.

Look we're in year one of the Switch's life cycle right now. Give it 3-4 years than come back to me, because right now I'm not impressed.

It's not trouble for anyone. If the Switch ends up with an amazing library of games and makes hundreds of millions of dollars, then WE win.

Sony would then look into reviving the Vita, and bring back more local multiplayer titles. Splitscreen could come back. Success influences other companies to adopt part of what works. A one system domination will just create a stagnant market.

Once we get a Pokemon made from the ground up for the Switch it's fucking over for the naysayers.

>>375755575
As much as I applaud Nintendo for not fucking up this time, I looking at long term here.

I predict the Switch will hit 8M by Christmas for sure, IF Mario isn't delayed to next year, and even with the sales for this holiday season you still have to expect Sony to make a huge profit this year as well given it's the cheaper alternative. But like I said I want to wait and see myself.

WiiU had a fucking abysmal software drought in its first year that sucked the air out of the room.

In it's first year Switch is getting a mainline Zelda, a Mario Kart which even though is a port is breaking sales records for the series, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, a mainline 3D Mario. Throw in a wildcard like ARMS which might end up being the next Splatoon and you've got a rolling thunder of software titles that should keep hype levels high.

I would honestly be surprised if this even reached xbone sales, it has absolutely zero hype apart from b8 threads on this fucking board (and some legit zelda discussion)

>The company’s long-history of conservative production targets has some analysts worried. Jefferies Group analyst Atul Goyal estimated that 2.5 to 3 million Switch units were sold in March, ahead of Nintendo’s target of 2 million. But he warned the company could disappoint on April 27 when it announces sales forecasts for the fiscal year through March 2018.

The fact that they were able to sell an undercooked piece of hardware with a single game still amazes me to no end.
But the question is, what's gonna happen next? Will they be able to keep the momentum? Looking at their current lineup, it's doesn't seem so - they have nothing as big as BotW anywhere on the horizon. What about third party? The Switch is extremely weak compared even to the PS4, that means it won't get any modern mainstream AAA releases = no dudebro audience. I would expect a Wii situation - it'll get a metric fuckton of cheap shovelware and nothing else.
We'll see what they show us on E3.

>>375754830
This is pathetic. Nintendo purposefully starts courting a new demographic with different tastes than their typical gaming demograpic. Third parties looks at the demographics, recognize the shift Nintendo has made, and respond in kind by releasing game they think will appeal to those groups. Nintendo fanboys still stick with nintendo believing that they love them as much as they love nintendo, when they've all but abandoned them, and then turn around and blame third parties for following the leader that they so adore.

Hey Pikmin is clearly a budget game and designed for the dual screen.
The next Pokemon will probably be on 3DS but might have a Switch version as well considering how SM was trying to cut back on the dual screen stuff.

Every time. I don't think I've ever seen /v/ as desperate to claim something wasn't successful as they have been with Splatoon. The thought of Nintendo having a successful, new IP in a genre they have traditionally shied away from just triggers something in people here, like they refuse to believe it's possible that such a thing could happen.
>>
>>375757639
It was always there, but mostly to the people who grew up with it and general nintendo fans, the first gen is still the most sold pokemon gen. Pokemon Go made Pokemon huge like back in the late 90s early 00s, there's a potential there that wasn't during the last ten years. I'm pretty sure there would be no new 2ds XL if it wasn't for pokemon go.

>NINTENDO SWITCH has been on sale for a month and latest signs indicate the new console be bigger than the Wii
Remember when they said the exact same shit about the Wii U?

Even with as much normie-bait as BotW is, the Switch doesn't have the same level of potential as the Wii; the Wii was the first successful motion-control console, a gimmick that was highly sought after, and it came with a very simple, easy-to-understand game about sports, for free. This is what skyrocketed its sales; old people, soccer mom types, etc. would pick it up because of the bombastic claim that it's "healthy video games". Not to mention Wii Fit, and a MUCH better launch line-up than the Switch's one game.

Then, look at the Switch. It's marketed directly toward normies, solely to sell Zelda. And they did that, and, as the numbers show, it did that job well. But now, everyone's done with it. The Switch doesn't really bring anything new to the table; mobile gaming is something that's been around for ages for normies, they don't care about being able to play Zeldarim on the go when they have hundreds of free games they can play on the go without lugging a big awkward controller around that only lasts 4 hours (or whatever the BotW battery life was). The only new game anyone with a Switch has to look forward to is that new mario game, but I'd wager money on people quickly beating that game and getting over it within the month. Best case scenario, Nintendo announces a total knock-out of a line-up at E3, but that's insanely unlikely with Nintendo's current track record.

All this aside, anyone who thinks the Switch will do better than the Wii is a moron. That's not to defend the Wii either, but the Wii was revolutionary; not good, mind you, but everyone at that waggle control shit up, with the vast majority of sales going to moms and retirement homes; to that market, the Switch is just a big tablet where you have to pay $60 for games instead of nothing.

>It sold 4.8 million
And Battlefield 1 sold 7 million on the PS4 alone. I'm not saying that Splatoon was a failure, but it's not a mainstream system seller.
>on a dead console
That's the point. It sold well because there was no competition. I remember buying Splatoon mostly because there was nothing else to buy, I've played it for maybe a week and forgot about it. Placing your bets on Splatoon 2 is not a good idea, especially if Nintendo makes a huge announcement on E3.
>>
>>375758449
I wonder which they'll sell in a bundles first not counting that Russia-only bundle?
Zelda seems to be the game everyone wants with its absurd attach rate, but MK8D does a better job of showing off almost all the features of the Switch except the IR sensor.

They don't force themselves, yes. But if they want to buy something - they don't have much of a choice, and that helped Splatoon immensely.

They have releases up until E3, which is when we will hear more about their future plans.

So, it only sold 2 million more on a system that had like, 40 million more systems? But somehow... It's not a system seller. lol
>It sold well because there was no competition
Splatoon sold extremely well because it's a superior shooting game and it's not boring like most shooters. The shooting genre went down the toilet after Quake 3. I don't know how Nintendo did it but they created one of the best shooting games and it's the competition that's been doing nothing but rehashes which is kinda funny.

Like what? Splatoon 2 isn't going to go away just because they announce something else. Splatoon 2 is definitely going to be a system seller.

That's because normies don't give a damn. Here we have an echo chamber of "hardcore gamers" who are obligated to masturbate to Bloodborne but it's a different story everywhere else.

Sonyshills always have some delusional reason why Nintendo consoles/titles sales don't count.

The fact is Splatoon sold millions more than Memeborn, made shitloads of money for Nintendo, and Splatoon 2 hype especially in Japan is fucking insane.

Pre-orders for Splatoon 2 are outpacing pre-orders for fucking DRAGON QUEST XI on the PS4.
>>
>>375760025
>I can't believe people are still this delusional.
Your entire argument is that higher attach rate = more systems sold, which isn't the case with Splatoon.
>>

There's a solid 10+ million nintenbros out there that will devour anything nintendo puts out, and right now many seem desperate to wash the taste of wiiu out of their mouths. Also, remember that nintendo is marketing/not marketing this as a hybrid, so you're seeing more cross over purchases of people seeing this as the 3DS and wiiu successor.

Battlefield 1 sold more than 14 million copies in total. That's what a mainstream AAA release looks like. Splatoon is not that, obviously. I doubt it will have a huge impact on the overall system sales, even if it sells well by itself.
>Splatoon sold extremely well because it's a superior shooting game and it's not boring like most shooters.
No, it sold well because there were no other shooters on the Wii U. At all. And I doubt many people bought the Wii U just to play Splatoon, so that argument is kinda pointless.
>Like what?
Like if the new Metroid comes out around the same time, it will fuck Splatoon 2 in the ass.

You're wasting time on console wars instead of looking at the bigger picture. Yes, Splatoon 2 is successful in Japan and it gets a lot of preorders right now. But that's not because Splatoon is Jesus, it's because Switch is still fresh and all those people need something to play after finishing BotW. Do you seriously believe that Splatoon 2 will be more impactful in Japan than Dragon Quest? That's just ridiculous.

That's a retarded picture. Selling well and being a system seller are two different things. Your game might sell well but that doesn't mean people would buy your console just to play it. Uncharted 4 was a system seller, BotW was a system seller, but Splatoon is not that.

and this is where you're wrong. they literally just gave the mainstream the money shot without any foreplay. the mainstream doesn't give a shit about Splatoon2 , Xenoblade 2, etc they just want the most pleb of Nintendo shit (Zelda & MK mainly with some Mario thrown in).

Nintendo did good on putting games out even if they were ports but they fucked themselves over by putting out the only things the mainstream wanted so they'll lose interest in the system faster than a new CoD can come out.

Nah, Splatoon I think can catch on pretty well along with Arms, but even if it doesn't Super Mario Odyssey is a huge title.

They are essentially reaching gold fish tier with how well their memory works.

At least the Wii U as a console tails behind the SNES and NGC but the Wii and Switch are just as bad as the Virtual Boy.

There are so many people in the world that anecdotal evidence is not good evidence for anything. Also considering the current unavailability of the switch, a lot of people who are interested in the switch have not seen one in stores.

It's been out less than two months. Everyone relax. We have no idea when or if Switch sales will plateau.

It's still very early but 100 million is very feasible now. It won't plateau when games like SMO and Splatoon 2 are coming out.

If we take todays equivalent to Virtual Boy, that being occulus rift and the many iterations from other companies such as google, samsung, sony, etc, they haven't been a success. The issue isn't the VR the issue is that it just doesn't work.

As for the Wii and Switch their are forcing these gimmick controllers when it doesn't help its case.

Nintendo has taken the good of the Wii U and is essentially trying to salvage the Wii. Yet the focus isn't on "software" it's on pushing hardware. It's a never ending loop of mistakes.

The Switch exists in an entirely different market than PS4/XBone. It's not competing with them and it won't eat into their sales.
>>
>>375760394
>Every fucking thread I hear this retarded idea that it's just a rehash.
Possibly because it's built off the same engine and game and is really just content added or changed rather than built from the ground up. It's like those re-released versions of capcom fighting games, except instead of "turbo" or "championship edition" it's "2"

Sony is going to release their own hybrid portable console. I repeat Sony is going to release their own hybrid portable console. A gaf mod with possible insider knowledge hinted that it was coming and will likely be announced this year.

Yes Sony will be that stupid but look at it from their perspective. The PSP was a success, especially in Japan (Sony is international but they are still a Japanese company). The Vita was a failure, but it found a niche in Japan. The PS4 is not doing good in Japan. Nintendo's Switch is a huge initial success, even in Japan where Japanese third parties are already moving projects to the platform. Nintendo has no competition. What do you think they will just leave this alone? They should but they won't.

So here is what I predict. It won't be called Vita or anything that reminds people of that failure. It might be backwards compatible with it and the PSP. It won't be a portable PS4, there is no way to miniaturize the hardware at present. It will, like the Vita, use smart phone and tablet hardware. Probably the same ARM/PowerVR duo. Something from 2017.

It will probably have a better CPU than the Switch, a comparable (but slightly worse) GPU, more RAM at slightly higher bandwidth (6GB at 35 GB/sec... double bandwidth when docked), and a 1080p screen (but most games will render at 720p or lower on it). In other words it will be in the same performance ballpark as the switch with some better on-paper specs in some areas for dick waving. It will have detachable controllers cost whatever the Switch costs. And they will try to moneyhat Monster Hunter for the Nip market.

It's a rehash man, sorry
>>
>>375763601
It should but it's going to be a lot harder to sell the next 25 million than it was to sell the first 25 million. My guess is PS4 winds up at 80 million counting the Pro at five years (including the 2018 holiday period). Twice as much as what the 360 did by itself in its first five years but falling short of what the PS2 was at after five years (116 million... it went on to sell 37 million more and just for comparison the PS3 sold 56 million in those same exact years which when you think about it is not really flattering).

I don't expect PS4 to sell much more than that. 90 million lifetime tops. Xbone will be half that (including Scorpio). But MS plans to blur generational lines
>>
>>375769196
Sorry I messed up. PS2 was 100 million at five years. 116 is six years (2006). 153 is 11 years

The PS4 selling well made even less sense. It had an anemic launch lineup and nothing on the horizon (that's not a pun btw). People don't buy things because of "potential" or to build an install base. They buy based on hype. The PS2 is a perfect example of this. It also had terrible launch software but was massively hyped due to an E3 that showed CGI tech demos from PS2-based hardware (but not even close to final PS2 retail hardware) and being a hot item because of supply constrain. PS2 delivered (against all odds to be honest) a legendary 2001 holiday lineup followed up by an early 2002 price cut which destroyed any hope that MS or Nintendo had with catching up. But that's a little different
>>

I think it's because the Xbone was such a disaster.

I was referring to the Switch. I posted the NES classic as an example of the built-in massive initial launch that Nintendo products always have, followed by Nintendo's patented brand of artificial scarcity.

The only one affected here is Sony since they rely solely on console mindshare and sales to stay afloat. MS sells all their games on pc so they're making money either way even if you don't buy their console and opt to build a pc.
