No one but poser ecelebs would get the box just to have the box alone.
The box is for the people who bought everything in the bundle without actually buying the bundle. Who still would have wanted the bundle.

The box completes the package.

>AN EMPTY NINTENDO SWITCH BOX HAS BETTER CUSTOMER REVIEWS THAN AN ACTUAL NINTENDO SWITCH

YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP

This reminds me of the time that someone thought they were getting an Xbone and just ended up buying a picture.

I do like how they're selling a "game card free" copy of splatoon 2 though. Stupid name, but you get a digital download code in a physical box. I'd buy more games digitally if I got boxes.

>>377733515
>or autistic nips who want to collect things
And those people would also get the actual game, the joycons, the case, and everything else in the bundle. In other words, they wouldn't just get the box alone.

I covered that in my post.

>>377733409
The boxes were full price and had a coupon, like a pre-order, wasn't it? In this case is just the box being sold for $5 by Nintendo in Japan though

>>377733727
Wait this box isn't a promise to get the actual game?
Its literally just the box?

>>377733423
last thread was about 30 or so shitposters all jerking each other off until bump limit and i expect this one to be exactly the same

>>377733795
Yes, it's just the box. For collectors or some shit.

>>377733795
It is! Just the box for $5! The bundle itself is being sold too, for $360 I guess, but you still have this other option of just getting the cardbox for cheap in case you really want it. Kinda odd, but well... Maybe the japs dig it

Now we wait for Resellers.

Fucking kek. It though it was the game care but it's the switch bundle box

>>377732435
Some people collects boxes, even for stuff they didn't buy.
It's messed up, but there is a market for empty boxes. Also, empty boxes on ebay often sells for more than 5$

Box scalping soon?

Say it with me.

It's okay

IT'S OKAY

IT'S OKAY WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT

>>377733905
>>377733961
I have a friend who collects games and likes to have them in the real boxes. So I dunno.

Maybe for people who only got the game but want it to be nicer in their collection
5 bux seems a fair price so why are people angry about this?

I don't think anyone has a problem with this because of the price, it's just the idea of an empty box and the usual self-centered thinking of /v/ users.

>Well, this doesn't appeal to me personally, so it's shit!1!!

>>377733795
The box is for people who already got the game and the joycons and everything else.
The box is not for people who don't already have Splatoon 2. It's not even for the average consumer that already has Splatoon 2.
It's for the collectors who wanted the bundle but already bought everything in the bundle before they started selling the bundle, and still want said bundle. In this instance, it's much more preferable to be able to buy the box alone. As opposed to having to buy a whole new system bundle.

>The company says the ¥540 (approximately $5) item is "recommended for Splatoon fans who already have Nintendo Switch."

That's actually a good fucking idea. I would definitely pay $5 for a case of a digital only game.

>>377732435
Someone who is autistic and wants people to think they bought the bundle when really they just bought the Green/Pink joycons and Splatoon 2

>>377734382
If there is a market for it why not?
>they are selling it for more than it costs to produce and for a price people are willing to pay

Literally like everything else.

>>377734464

>>377733559
Well, it 100% serves its purpose for everyone

>>377734464
the fact that you were autistic enough to search the archives to try and discredit him is sad and pathetic and autistic

>>377734609
Nintendo is starting to sell boxed copies of digital games, too.

>want to buy a Switch eventually, mostly for Fire Emblem
>will buy a Warriors bundle if it has one since it comes out before the mainline game
>if a special edition bundle for the mainline game comes out I'm not gonna want to buy a second switch
>but buying just the box and its extras wouldn't be so bad

Are you guys the idiots who throw away the box your consoles come in or something? The boxes look nice, this isn't an amazing groundbreaking idea but it is nice.

>>377732435

Nintendo are selling this because they know only their fans would be stupid enough to buy an empty box.

>>377731424
Man, way to make a big fucking deal out of literally nothing.

>>377734729
Yeah, they have a game card free version of Splatoon 2 coming out that comes with a digital code in the same box that physical copies come in.

>>377734742

Because it's the box to a pretty expensive product and it has nice art and I keep the manuals in it and shit. Plus if I ever move I can neatly pack the console back in the box.

If it was something cheap like the box to a memory card I'd throw it away but not for a console.

I bet you leave controllers and cables lying everywhere after playing a game instead of tidying up too.

Fact #1: Switch sales are bullshit, having sold less units than the PS4 at release, in the same timeframe.

Fact #2: Switch demand is bullshit. Nintendo is literally holding units back from retailers so that you purposely walk into the store, don't get one, and think it must be the next hot item that you just have to have, creating fake consumer interest and hype.

Fact #3: Zelda sales are bullshit, selling less on both WiiU + Switch combined than Horizon: Zero Dawn, a fucking new brand new IP. Even accounting for the fact that there aren't many Switch/WiiU owners, this is fucking sad.

Fact #4: The specs are bullshit. Slightly more powerful than an Xbox 360, has trouble running a fucking flagship launch title that was 6 years in development.

Fact #5: The support is bullshit. The console is too weak to receive quality ports and multiplat titles from more powerful competing consoles, yet development costs are too high to encourage handheld and mobile devs to jump on board. Don't try shilling a few solitary developers who've "pledged their support", might I remind you of the WiiU?

Fact #6: The prices are bullshit. The console is being sold at $300 + tax, which doesn't even include the cost of a much-needed SD card, all for a console with last-gen specs. Add to this the roughly $80~90 joycons and myriad other overpriced accessories.

Fact #7: The games are bullshit. One single hyped title that is also available on WiiU, and a few shovelware games and ports. Nothing on the horizon except yet another Mario game and a few sequels.

A bullshit console, bullshit games, bullshit company. Gotta' love Nintendo.

>it was revealed that, back when the Nintendo Switch released in March, Nintendo ended up using aircraft to ship more units to North America and Europe to meet the incredibly high demand for the new console.
>This is fairly rare to see, as shipping via aircraft is much more expensive. Normally, shipping is done by sea freight, and Nintendo has reverted back to these usual methods since April. However, though Ace Research Institute analyst Hideki Yasuda estimates using air freight can get quite pricey at about 5,000 additional yen per console, it seems like the decision worked out for Nintendo in the end.

You buy a real bundle then return the empty box. So long as theres a bar code on the box you're set. Or you could return the original box and keep the replacement. Either way.
If you have the right customer service person, threaten to complain on facebook or if you're a cute old lady you can return anything.

im a huge nintendo fan
selling an empty box for 5$ isnt the worst thing they have done
they have many times actually sold shit in a box for 40-60$, namely federation force, color splash, star fox zero, ziplash, the upcoming pikmin 3ds game...

>Nintendo literally selling an empty box

You can really sell anything to nintendo fanboys.

Who cares?

>>377737637
also amiibos
selling amiibos is a far bigger crime than a box

>>377737637
You know, you keep on saying that it's bad but HOW is it bad?
It's just a box and advertised as such.
If no one buys it then it's no skin off Nintendo's backs because it's a box.
If people buy it then they get exactly as advertised because it's a box.

What exactly makes it the worst?
