Did you get a Switch when you could??

>>378556860
Bit remember, Nintendo is undertocking on purpose

>nintendo jews out consumers with artificial scarficity
>jews see this as an operatunity to jew out nintendo
>artificial scarcity on parts forces jewtendo to up the price of switch

Cant wait.

Nope. I haven't seen one Switch in any store where I live. Don't care until I can go into a store and buy one. I also don't care about this shit, it's not my problem Nintendo can't buy parts for their system.

Also if the prices goes up I'm certainly not buying one, 299 is the absolute most I'm paying for something that is worth about 200 dollars.

>>378556860
Yeah. Launch day. People who don't preorder shit they want, that they know will be in limited supply, are silly.

KEK!

Shitendo got cucked.
Sony always wins baby. 100 million consoles sold by end of 2018.

Nintendo needs to stop greedy assholes and fork over a bit more money if they want to have plenty of Switch consoles for the holiday season.

>>378556860
>Did you get a Switch when you could??
I will get one when it gets games, will probably buy the non-fucked up revision when it comes out

If anything, they are always downgrades.

ARTIFICIAL
SHORTAGE

>>378558081
Not really

>>378558081
No that's sony.

I didn't get one. I hope they figure their production issues out by the holiday season, though. I figure a few big games will be coming out around that some so i'd like to pick them up on black friday or something.

There are still switches available where I live, because I live in a small town that has a huge superstore with an electronics section for some reason. We had the super in-demand Amiibos for months without them being touched. I could have made a good profit flipping them, but I just sold them for what I paid for them to some anons on /toy/

I'm not too worried, but I would like to get one eventually because the system looks fun, and now that games have actual release dates I can justify purchasing the damn thing.

>>378557881
Yeah is not like nintendo took an extra 50$ hit per console when decided tl ship by plane to try to keep up with demand

>>378556905
And everyone falls for it... every single time

>>378558303
I meant their CONSOLES.

Snes's hardware revision was a budget model, N64 didn't have a hardware revision, GameCube didn't have a hardware revision, Wii's hardware revision removed GameCube backward compatibility, Wii U didn't have any hardware revision.

>Did you get a Switch when you could??
I got lucky and got it day one at a Best Buy. I had already been looking for hours, and I doubt their stock lasted for more than a couple hours after I left.
It was totally worth getting since BotW is amazing.

This is the first console I got Day 1 and it seems like the first one (aside from maybe the Wii) where that was actually a sensible decision. I've had a lot of good times playing BotW, MK, Snipperclips and Puyo Puyo with friends and I'd probably still be looking for one if I hadn't gotten one launch day.

>>378558668
Switch isn't a handheld tho

>>378556860

Why would I buy a switch?

you can play it in your hands with no external components required so yeah I'd say it is

>>378558753
Did you ignore the fucking post or this kinda lf sperguing is normal for you??

>>378558753
They overestimated how much people wanted Wii Us and are afraid of it happening again.

>>378558515
I didn't preorder it because I wasn't sure if I wanted to play the new Zelda when preorders were up. It's pretty lame that Nintendo would only keep preorders up for such a short time, but at least I managed to find one once I realized how good BotW was going to be.

Want a 2DS just to play the games and not bother with 3D, you cannot buy this console it is not released.

I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone

Now with buyer's remorse in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency

I can't shill enough of
So I'll tell you something

This could be buyer's remorse because

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know

So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control

Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say:
"Stay with me tonight."

Just remember
You're the one thing

Still I'd beore inclined to believe they weren't creating shortages on purpose if they hadn't done it so many times before.
The Manufactured amiboo shortages for starters but the whole NES classic bullshit was the worst. Didn't Reggie make an official statement saying they "didt have the resources."? I call bullshit on that. You're going to sit here and tell me that Nintendo, a multi billion dollar company can't get a hold of enough resources to spllap together plastic boxes with an emulator and a foot of cable?

>>378563407
Not having products on shelves to give the appearance of demand is all part of artificial shortages

At the end of the day, Nintendo doesn't want their products sitting on store shelves not being bought. They'd rather you go away empty handed, because you'll just go to another store or look for one somewhere else

I really can't believe people are trying to claim this ISN'T artificial scarcity. They've been doing it for nearly 40 years.

I have my switch in my livingroom, which can then undock and play it in bed. Shit is cosy as fuck. I'm looking forward to buying a couple of extra docks for a few other rooms so I can just drop it in and play.

If you have the console out on the go, it's great for local multiplayer. I had mine in the pub at weekend, set it up with Street Fighter II for my dudebro mates while I played pool. Even though the joycons are hopless for precision fighting games, they were all have a blast. Even random drunkards were leering over their shoulders - genuinely intrigued - shouting nonsense like "fireball the cunt!"

I didn't preorder, but bought it at launch. Loved the experience desu, I'm in Switzerland so it was fun waiting outside the shop, the people waiting didn't behave like animals and we even had a nice chat.

Then as soon as I got home and started playing BotW I realised I had made the right decision, it's the only legit 10/10 I've played in a long time. Haters gon' hate

No. And I don't want one.

>>378563856
I play games on my Wii U gamepad in bed all the time.

>>378556860
I just went to 3 stores and they all had Switches in stock. Nintendo is fucking done for.

>>378564302
I remember queing up at 5am in the morning to buy a Wii. There was a quite a que and everyone was clearly a Nintendo fan so it was nice to talk to fellow gamers who were also excited.

I remember my work colleagues all laughing at me the day before because I was taking the day off to que up for a Wii console.

For months and months afterwards, I would have the same colleagues sheepisly coming up to me and asking me where they could get a Wii. Those fucks never got a sniff of a Wii for about two years.

I'm still wating for the games. But I think I'll give in and just buy one eventually.

"no"

I just called 5 different GameStops and 4 Targets in the area and they all had Switches.

Is Nintendo lying?

>>378561724
Nintendo absolutely underestimated demand, no one denies that was their stupid fuckup.

>>378556860
This is your daily reminder that this is a Sony board and the Switch is overpriced and overhyped.

If you bought one you literally played yourselves, well done /v/. Japanese execs on more money in a week than you get in NEETbux in a year are laughing at you.

>>378565116
>It works for me bro :)

what reason is there to even buy one right now if you can hold off on Zelda? I mean if it's that great it'll still be great in a year right?

>>378558530
where? every target in my area is completely empty aside from a few 3ds xl's.

Still doesn't run as good as the Switch version. Maybe the next update?

>>378565550
Well yeah, and Nintendo might even release a deluxe version of the game including all the planned dlc.

But some want the experience while it's new and be part of the cultural discussion of it.

>>378563407
>Something that unlocks in game content should be readily available

explain how in any way this would be a bad thing? You love that corporate dick don't you?

>>378564850
No, I actually have it in my gameroom against the wall that it shares with my bedroom, and my bed is against that wall. Signal comes through perfectly.

OP is bullshitting. I literally just drove to a Wal-Mart and they had 6 Switches in stock, but no PS4 consoles in stock.

Moshimoshi funland here! Do you have problems with controller?

My machinespirit fails sometimes when playing games, Minor problem but still.
Got the same colors as you too.

>>378565861
>be part of the cultural discussion
>for just $299 + $60

I'm good boo. I'll just wait til there's more than one game and some ports. I think the Switch is pretty goddamn neat, but early adopters are fucking stupid.

>>378565660
give another 100 million and maybe we will see...

what a fucking amazing scam, god DAMN i wish i was competent to do that shit

>>378563674
Nintendo doesn't gain anything from sending away someone who went to buy a Switch empty-handed. They can't sell anything by keeping their product off of store shelves.

>>378566305
It's not worth arguing with them, they're literally too stupid to grasp basic micro economics

>>378566105
I tested the controllers (blocking with hand, then putting the controller on my back standing far from the console), my controllers seem to be fine

>>378566190
>early adopters are fucking stupid.

I know right, godforbid video games fans on a fucking video game forum would want to buy new videongame hardware and video game software from the most revered and respected video game company on the planet. The absolute madmen.

My local Gamestop had 5 Switch consoles and no PS4s

>>378563856
Do you guys get paid for shilling this obvious?

Hope you are not doing it FOR FREE? Right?

>>378565660
THEY WOULD HAVE FINISHED IT BY MARCH IF YOU WOULD HAVE PAYED THEM MORE! IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR NOT HELPING THEM BY NOT PAYING FOR A WAY TO PIRATE NINTENDO GAMES!

FUCKING NINTENDRONES!

>>378567049
>most revered and respected

what planet do you live on mate? Does "revered and respected" mean "oldest" there? And yeah, early adopters are fucking stupid. If you're a fan of something why throw your money at it without knowing if it's good? That's just blind consumerism.

>>378566190
>early adopters are fucking stupid.

Yes I'm sure they all feel pretty stupid consider the console has been pretty much sold out since launch and scores of people are now desperately trying to get one.

>>378567404
you're still an early adopter if you buy it now. It still barely has more than the launch line up. Not being an early adopter means buying a year or more down the line and not getting shafted by that nintendick twice in a row.

>>378567382
You know, you may not want to admit it, but Nintendo have been pretty important to video games and their software regularly tops GOAT lists.

But keep living in denial of historical fact if that makes you feel better.

Thats good news and the console is cozy as fuck.

>>378567609
I'm not denying that. But after the Wii U you'd have to be an absolute jackass to early adopt a Nintendo console. That's just the way I feel. Not falling for it twice.

>>378567776
I didn't buy the Wii U because I'm capable of recognizing fucking terrible consoles. The Switch is nothing like it

>check Prime Now at midnight on release day
>order a Switch and BOTW
>it arrives at like 10AM the next day
>don't have to stand out in the cold with the neckbeards and then get home at 1am

Prime now is the fucking future. The fact that there's an annual sub keeps swarms of people away and I can get any mainstream release day 1 with no pre-order if I feel like it.

>>378567776
If the Wii U is your only experience of Nintendo then I can understand. It was a clusterfuck (still plenty of good games in my opinion though.)

But I've been playing Nintendo since the 80's, they always deliver exceptional gaming experiences every generation so I'm more than happy to buy at launch (I also have a PS4 before anyone accuses me of being a drone.)

>>378556860

It's perfect because amazon hasn't made profit from prime.

better off calling the store bricklink gives false positives like it counts pre orders as having an item in stock

mine says 9 switchs in 30 miles, but im doubting that. not like i need one, already have, but its more of that pro controller that i can't seem to find.

>>378559514
Also pictured, the entire switch library except the one game worth having.

Western Washington. I'd give you tips on looking for them, but it was literally the first place I checked.

Try unlikely stores like Sears or Kmart that nobody ever goes to. That's how I got my brand new 3.55 firmware PS3 6 months after they started shipping them pre-updated.

>>378559842
>video game companies have NEVER made a system MORE expensive after it was officially released on the market

PS4 has it's initial 400$ price raised to 450$ in canada a few months after release.

>Nintendo intentionally tries to lower their own sales

Their shareholders could have them fired if this was even partially true.

>>378572319
10 million nintenbabies exist. Once they run out we will start counting the 'real' sales
Source: wiiu sales

>>378572628
Again, understocking isn't an attempt to lower your own sales, but an attempt to lower your overhead so that on the off chance your product fails, at least you don't have a warehouse with thousands of useless units
People aren't going to stop wanting to buy one just because they can't find one today
>/v/ in charge of understanding business and marketing

No games.

I have to send mine to Nintendo to be fixed
>scratched screen

I thought these problems were just memes?

>>378572779
the difference is normies are eating this shit up because of the portability and the fact that its trendy right now
When I asked some non-vidya wise friends about the WiiU a few years after its release, most of them thought it was just an upgrade for the Wii, not its own new console
Nintendo didn't want to make that mistake again and (successfully) advertised the shit out of the Switch

>>378559030
>meme game

>>378559982
Yeah launch day wasn't a mess like people are claiming. Maybe it's a regional thing. I pre orderd mines at Best Buy and picked it up at midnight launch. They had over a hundred systems in so people that just walked up got one too. It was pretty cool.

Why all the hate on /v/ about the switch. Its cozy as fck. They try something different then Sony and Microsoft and it works nice. Hurpedurp Sony Microsoft graphics, wel seriously if you care about that stop be a peasant and buy a PC allready. Currently laying in bed playing Zelda ^^

>>378574143
i'd say its more now

i haven't seen switches in stock heavily though
all the stores near me are all sold out and have been save for shipments that are getting grabbed by resellers


but the saving grace is, i haven't seen them sell on craigslist or offerup as much as that first month.

>>378574426
it is cozy

i feel asleep playing it in front of a fireplace when i was up north for a while. i was in rito village in zelda, just listening to the music and watching the sun rise over the mountain and before i knew it, i woke up and the switch was powered off.

fuck zelda is just comfy game of the year

>>378575483
Haha exactly this. Just arrived yesterday in Rito Village to buy the snow gear! Why does /v/ hate it so much?

>>378575483
It's a fantastic game.

>>378576781
Because its fun without being mechanically over-complicated or brainy, and /v/ hates success
