I don't know if you noticed but /v/ is full of complete morons, except me of course.

>second month already only 550k
That's really low. It begins.

>>377304339

Switch is doing very well but that chart really does not mean anything since those numbers show the WiiU dominating the PS4 yet we know how that turned out seing as how the WiiU is officially dead and is a mere 20% of the total sales of the PS4 worldwide.

>>377304694
>Switch is doing very well
For now, as you said it WILL be another WiiU.

It launched with the biggest game normies wanted, long term remains to be seen.

>>377304761
Yes, any day now
Any day Nintendo will go bankrupt

>>377304021
Huh, I thought it sold a million the first month in the US. I guess not.

>>377304761

It will be very hard for them to fuck up enough to be another WiiU, but I doubt it'll become a seller on the scale of Wii. I imagine it'd do a comfortable 60-80m or so lifetime sales.

>>377304021
Switch is a handheld with an HDMI port, nobody will buy that long-term. Parents are the number one reason for Gameboys selling.

Why would a parent buy this for their kid when they could get them an iPhone or tablet? Kids want the new COD and Madden, Mario who?

Manchildren can't sustain themselves long-term, much less this.

>>377304021
>Wii U First 2 Months: 885K

and it was a colossal shitfest.
It needs to keep pace to not fall off into flops

If they actually support with software and KEEP third parties releasing for them, they will do well with Switch.

Just like WiiU will kill sony...wait a sec...

Hahaha. 3DS is already outsold by PS4 with 3 years headstart.

>>377304851
Statistically it cannot outsell the 3DS as the handheld market is on a declining trend due to the obvious increasing trend in mobile gaming market.

>>377305134
>3DS is already outsold by PS4 with 3 years headstart.
nope

>>377304021
I did. I'm glad it didn't. Well, kind of glad. Means I still have to pay the nintendo tax, but at least nintendo games won't be limited to Sony hardware.

>>377305109
I'm showing you how wrong you will be as you were before.

>>377304982

COD and Madden on an iPhone?
I want some of that mad kush you smokin, my nigga.

Console market was also supposed to be on a decline but PS4 is absolutely wrecking previous console generation pacing.

3DS: 67M sold
PS4: 60M shipped

>Japan sales
It would be a problem if something like this happened in the US

>>377305268
>Why?
Because, in my personal opinion, it doesn't deserve good sales.

>>377305148
It's kind of funny to see how equal the pc and console shares are.

>>377305134
>>377305148

The 3DS is still selling and being supported. Just because it is not the DS does not mean it will suddenly ship 0 more units from now on. I imagine it will also end up around 80m lifetime units. You guys are as dumb as that one guy who said the PS4 will not sell anymore than 78m units because Sony won't support it anymore after this new fiscal year.

>>377304694
Well the Wii U was doing better than PS4 in Japan for a while.
It wasn't until 2015/16 where Nintendo dropped the Wii U and it's sales really started tanking in Japan while PS4 finally started getting some games nips actually cared about and selling better.

>>377305296
Nope console market has always been on the uptrend.

>>377305329
It sells much better in JP. If its momentum is dying in JP then US drop must be even bigger.

Of course it's a waste of time to discuss this without solid numbers.

>>377304021
Nintendo products either flop or are a homerun. There's no middle ground and it's kind of hard to predict which one will it be before release.

>>377305320
>67
Nice fake number, its also 60.

>>377305320
post the release dates

>>377305329

Jesus Christ Japan.

>Statistically it cannot outsell the 3DS
>Statistically
.. Anon, statistically the Switch could outsell the Ps2. It's just very very unlikely.

>>377305230
You're right, they'll get the PS4, not a switch.

>>377305458
>before release
Or after for that matter

>>377305473
Source?
Actually nevermind, I was wrong too. 3DS sits at 65M
>The 3DS sold 6.45 million units compared to the year before, which saw 3.6 million hardware sales. This growth brings the 3DS’s lifetime sales to 65.3 million units

>>377305497
Why? I thought '3DS is already outsold by PS4 with 3 years headstart'?

>>377305534
That's probability. You mean it has a very low probability.

>>377305670
>Why?
Why not?

>>377305230
No, you're right. COD and Madden will never be on a Switch because it will never meet the sells numbers to allow them to downport those games to it.

>>377305671
what exactly do you think statistics are? The whole subject basically revolves around analyzing various probability distributions.

>>377305821
Yeah but "statistically speaking" means the odds are in my favor. Also the real application of statistics here is to predict the sales of Switch, not the probability of Switch outselling the PS2. Here the data says the handheld market is declining 24.1% YoY. Therefore next year you can say with high confidence that the handheld market next year would be 24.1% lesser than this year's.

>>377304021
The Switch is beaten out by tablet sales, which are beaten out by phone sales. It's niche with an X1 and zero third party support. I mean third party support that sales consoles, not I am Setsuna and Meat Boy.

Four year old Sony and M$ hardware do what Nintendn't

>>377304497
The WiiU, worldwide, was doing 150k at this point

>>377304339
Only thing that chart shows me is that the 3DS wins everything forever.

>>377304694
The Switch is doing over double, even triple, what the WiiU/PS4 managed in the same timeframe. More consistent

>>377305332
Kill yourself sonyfag

>>377306395
And considering Splatoon 2 isnt even out yet, the numbers can only go much higher.

>>377304982

No, why the fuck would a kid want a tablet? Hmm roll the ball around game 103498 vs. the literal best portable game ever made. Hmmm...

You must assume all kids are faggots like yourself.

>>377306395
WiiU and PS4 are not handhelds.

Dragon Quest V isn't on it.

>Why would a parent buy this for their kid when they could get them an iPhone or tablet

woah

dude


why not both???

This is a rerun episode of "Can Nintendo survive only with Nintendo fanboys?"

I have no interest on the PS4, Xbox One, or Switch.

PS4
Shit backwards compatibility
DUDE REMASTERS LMAO
Pay to play online
Shitty tablet processor

Xbox One
Least shitty than the PS4 in the long run but
Pay to play online kills the appeal

Switch
4GB RAM in 2017
Weaker than the PS4 and X1, both of which are running on a tablet processor, somehow worse
32GB internal is a really good idea, do it again
Shit battery life as a handheld, shit hardware as a console

Christ, last generation was the last proper generation. Thankfully the 3DS isn't hot garbage like 8th consoles are, so there's a silver lining.

>>377305138
It's the post-Golden Week dip. Retailers are still out of stock like five minutes after the shipment comes in.

>>377306852
>I have no interest on the PS4, Xbox One, or Switch.

good for you

>>377306852
>complain about the switch specs

>>377306553
>vs. the literal best portable game ever made

Exactly. Portable. They don't want portable, they want FIFA, GTA O, COD, BF1, and every other game your coworker plays, who are also the other half of the market it needs to appeal to.

No one will be as hype for Mario as the new BF1 or Overwatch. Nintendo need new IPS and better third party support, which will come when they get better hardware.

>>377306947
>Retailers are still out of stock like five minutes after the shipment comes in.
Then why the dip you droning nigger?

Why is nobody pointing out the 70% drop from the first month?

videogames

>>377306856
nah dude i just fr*ckin love it !

Ì honestly have no idea of how this thing can actually sell. Not only is the hardware complete garbage, it also barely has any worthwhile game to own that isn't a port.

About switch sales: several retailers and famitsu have said the shipments have been abysmally low that's why sales dropped, but it's sold out.

>>377307070
Welcome to NintendoGAF.

>>377307070
Because that's normal?

>>377307130
true story dudes, totally not a shill or anything

>>377307054
They probably allocated more to the West after Golden Week.

https://gamewith.jp/gamedb/article/show/43620?from=ios

It's still out of stock on every online retailer.

>>377306395

Ok, and if we apply that to the WiiU situation, it'd have to do 5 times as well as the WiiU to match the PS4. Switch is doing fantastic in Japan but Japan does not dictate worldwide success. If you want the Japanese games translated and localized, it has to do well everywhere.

>>377304021
Wow that picture is looking too multicultural for my taste. It's disgusting.

>>377307219
>It's still out of stock on every online retailer.
I hope you mean Japanese retailer because I'm working at European one and we can't get rid of this thing.

>>377307581
It's a Japanese site, anon, what do you think?

I think that your sentence concerning online retailers wasn't necessarily connected to the link you've posted.

>>377307206
Yeah, all the stores and famitsu are total shills.

Don't act like a little bitch now, look at the cool Nintenkiddos.

>>377307660

/v/ says everything will crash and burn, so everything is actually very successful. Everyone wins and no one is a loser!

>>377307660
But /v/ also said the same about ps4...

Splatoon and Mario Kart killed the WiiU. I want a Switch but you're deluded if you think it will sell on first party alone. No one's going to buy it to play a downgraded Battlefront 2 game.

It was very entertaining but the feverish need for another shitstorm like that has made this place almost unbearable. I just hide most topics because they're just so fucking boring and predictable.

>>377307914

>>377308134
>What are parents and the age before phones were more powerful than a 2017 handheld

I can't believe the stock is STILL low.

>>377308283
No. I would create more but 4chan uses a lot of images and images takes too much space. Text only is kinda boring.

>>377308212
its really been a combination of things, from tortanic and the need for another one, to the furry/gay/consolewars shitposting going into overdrive to personally what i think has been the biggest issue, the influx of users who subscribe to the idea of "/v/ is for shitposting lol" and just shit up the board because they think its what they are meant to do
