>Console thats having shortage problems and selling out as soon as it's in stock for the past 3 months after launch
>b-b-but its not doing well
Dumbass.
>this bait pic again
Comparing Winter to a Spring launch is fucking stupid
Wait for full year sales data to come out and then we can get a better picture
>>378856501
>2 months on the market verses 28 days on the market
Really X's my Y
>>378856663
>console that is new starts out doing well but slows down
>b-b-but it's sold out everywhere
Dumbass.
>>378856501
>just reading raw data and disregarding the context
Dumbass.
>>378856663
>>Console thats having shortage problems
Same shit with the Wii U.
>b-b-but its not doing well
It's a solid launch (like all Nintendo systems), but the way /v/ talks about it you would think it was PS4 tier when the reality is, it's performing right around what the Wii U did.
>>378856772
>slows down
>it's been selling the same amount of units every week for the past 3 months
Dumbass.
>>378856663
>Having a shit supply chain means it's popular
Ok.
>>378856754
>2 months on the market
Read the asterisk retard
>"Switch has been available for 87 days, Wii U 97 days"
>>378856501
The switch numbers were from 27 days (quarter ending April 1st), not 87
>>378856501
>*Switch has been available 87 days
Bait graph discarded
>>378856872
Those numbers were from March 3rd to April 1st, you moron, not 87 days.
Wait wait, so THIS is what Nintendolts have been bragging about?
0.08 more units sold than the fucking Wii U? Literally half the software sold?
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>378856951
Last week, the gaming giant announced that its new console sold 2.74 million units from its March 3 release date to March 31, the end of Nintendo’s latest quarter. As this chart from Statista shows, that puts the Switch right up there with Nintendo’s last two consoles, the Wii and Wii U, after their respective first quarters. (This is accounting for the discrepancies in availability between the three.)
>(This is accounting for the discrepancies in availability between the three.)
Read the link dumbass
>tfw Didn't fall for the Wii U or Switch meme
>>378857113
If you fell for the wii meme you are just as bad.
>>378857032
Now, do you realise the November launch for the WiiU puts its quarter ending after 2 months?
Any way you place it selling 2.74 mil in a month is better than 2.8 in 2 months, you moron.
>Nintendiapers actually think the Shitch is outpacing the PS4's launch
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>378856501
>Q4
Holiday season
>Q4
Holiday season
>Q2
Not holiday season
>>378857210
It's not 2.8 in 2 months and repeating it won't make it true.
Read the link, they adjusted everything (shortages, release) and that's the figures in comparison.
Wii beats both, Switch is in the middle barely outpacing the Wii U.
Stay KEKED
>>378856663
That's part of the reason why I lost interest. I don't want it enough to have to hunt and drive all over the state. If it had a decent supply available I would have bought one already.
>>378856501
UH-OH!
>Half the software
>0.08 difference between the Wii U
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS
>Q1 vs Q4
Really makes you think...
>>378856501
DELET THIS YOU FUCKING SHITPOSTER, THE SWITCH *WILL* BEAT THE PS4
ITS NOT FAIR BROS WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WINNING NOOOOOOOOO
>mfw been working on a collage of all the "IT WILL BEAT THE WII" posts
Can't wait to spam the front page once the initial wave of Nintendookies runs out and the sales take a huge hit, just like the Wii U
>All this false flagging
Kek
I don't understand, are the shitposters in this thread actually reading the article?
Also, did they miss the
>Q4, Q4, Q1
thing?
I really hope everyone here is just pretending to be retarded.
>>378856796
Wii U absolutely never had a stock shortage, this revisionist history in order to continue shitposting is getting out of hand
>>378857650
b-b-but /v/ told me the Switch was beating the PS4.... *coughs*....
What the fuck is this.... It's barely beating the.... *wheezes*..... Wii U

>winning
Look bud, it's not the 90s anymore. Nintendo is a loser and will continue to be. It's run by a bunch of old men who don't understand gaming anymore. Look at Pokemon GO, it wasn't even created by them, it was created by a bunch of guys who worked at Google

>>378856663
>Nintendo intentionally shitting up the supply
>They've done this for several consoles already
Even game journo's know this is Nintendo's schtick.
The year's not over anyway. There's still the 2017 holidays coming.
>>378856663
>this meme again
it doesnt have any shortage problems
it's not sold out
anyone who wants one can easily find them in stores
>>378857690
They've been trying to force this graph for weeks even though most people, I.e. Non shitposters, have enough IQ to actually understand that these statistics are biased.

Yes it fucking did you literal retard

>NINTENDO SABOTAGED THEIR LAUNCH DELIBERATELY
>>378857893
>over 10 years now
They've been doing it since the NES. Remember how they only released it in certain cities at a time?
I love how all of you seem to miss how it's matching the Wii, Nintendo's highest selling home console ever. 3 months after the Christmas season no less
>>378857976
Oh, look, somebody that comes from an alternate dimension.
>>378857981

Stay mad that the Cucktch is one of the most embarrassing flops in gaming
>>378857927
>expected to sell out
Except it never actually did you shitposting fuckface. Sales went bone dry two months into the console's lifespan.
You mean to tell me that a product released during the holiday season sold more than a product released in March?
>>378857927
>>378857839

I'm just shitposting you nigger, I'm glad the Shitch is crashing and burning.
>>378858001
>NINTENDO SABOTAGED THEIR LAUNCH DELIBERATELY
That's not what I said, please learn reading comprehension. Sales are inflated during holiday season, because that's when everyone's mom is buying presents for their kids. Its extremely disingenuous to compare a Q4 launch to a Q1 launch without taking that context into consideration. You can have your shitpost threads when the holidays roll around and the Switch doesn't perform well. But until then, you're only making yourself look ignorant of the retail market.
>>378858127
>Except it never actually did you shitposting fuckface
It literally did and I provided you a source you butthurt suicidal spic
>>378857825
>>378858195
You and me both brothers. The Cucktch is on track to becoming a greater blunder than TORtanic and I'm enjoying every second of Neokikeshitendo and their fans' suffering. Just like every adult non-manchild gamer.
>>378858120
>being this butthurt over Nintendos success
Man, Switch and Zelda really did a number on you guys.
>Q1 vs Q4
>Adjusted vs actual
And yet retards will take this bait.
>mfw /v/ told me the Switch would btfo of the PS4
Imagine being a Nincuckold who owns a Shitch hahahahahaha
>only game worth playing on the Shitch can be played on the WiiU and CEMU
Embarrassing, what a shameful purchase
>>378858363
>Zelda
Pretty fun game. Enjoying it on my PC
>Switch
Might pick one up on black friday a few years down the road once the sales drop bigly, like I did with the Wii U
>>378858027
This. They've always been a garbage company. I'm just surprised people are still surprised by this.
Growing up, I wasn't much of a console warrior. I had Sega and Playstation consoles, my friend had Nintendo. We'd go over each other's houses and play games. We'd even trade each other's consoles for things like Chrono Trigger and FF7.
I feel like most people start off pretty console warrior-y and then mellow out as they get older and are able to buy all consoles and be an Idort. And the truth is, I have as well...except for Nintendo. Looking back into their history and seeing how they are now, it's so blatantly obvious to me that they're a blight on the gaming industry that needs to be wash away. Thankfully, they seem to be washing themselves away. The wrong kid died, gents.
>>378858306
It didnt. Expect to sell out is quite differe from actually selling out. The wiiu sells were only supply constrained the first 2 months because holidays. The switch still is in some countries and hasnt reached it firs holiday yet.
>>378858306
And I pointed out the flaw in your source you cumguzzling double nigger.
>>378858396
ikr?
>THE FUCKING CITY OF KEKTCH
>>378858647
Glad someone is able to say it. Your absolutely brother, Neokikeshitendo is the worst fucking gaming company to ever exist. This is why we keep making threads. We must guarantee Neokikeshitendo dies in the most painful way possible, alongside their horses of demon fanboys.
>not a peep from Nintailures
Did we fucking win? We fucking rekt them bros.
Great job.
Hold on a second, are you guys telling me that the Switch numbers are barely different then the Wii U's?
Why are Nintenfriends boasting so much then?
>>378858774
You didn't point out anything but your neverending butthurt, kiddo
>>378859345
Because they're fucking drone cucks.

(You)
>>378856501
Those software sales figures for wii and wii u. Do they include the bundled games that came with them?
>>378859345
>Why are Nintenfriends boasting so much then?
Milking it before the initial drove of fans run out and then the sales stagnate like they always do with their crappy consoles.
They know they're about to spend another generation as the laughing stock so may as well milk it while they can
>>378859345
Have to distance themselves from the wiiu, especially since looking at it objectively the switch's hardware is made for streaming from other devices and 4k netflix and not for actually running video games.
>>378860294
>>378860309
This. Cucktch will flop in due time. Neokikeshitendo remains the laughingstock of gaming for over a decade now. Shitoddlecucks BTFO.
>>378860000
Giving away a free game with your console tends to boost attach rate.
>>378860542
there's a literal 8 million difference between wii and switch -- and white wii us didn't even come with a game
>>378860294
Every console sales stagnate, what are you on about

Look at all those made up faggot words

Not as hard as Pii Poo or Cucktch.

It has less than half the amount of games so...
>>378860930

Cucktch = Switch

>Pii Poo or Cucktch
So bad it made me laugh.
So judging by this chart, the Wii could be judged as a failure 2 months in?
isn't shitch a better shitposting name for the switch? also jesus christ the ponies are really working overtime for e3
>>378861573
Nope, it's used to show how the Switch's successful launch means literally nothing
>>378861738
There's literally barely a difference in sales besides software
It shows that launches mean nothing period, they can go either way
>>378861878
Except for the fact that the Cuckshitch is literally performing Pii Poo numbers. See >>378861000

You couldn't make your opinion any less worthwhile
people are saying this console is sold... it isn't. I live down the street from a game stop and walmart and the shelves are stocked with them to the max. I live in California so maybe my bubble is just superior.
>>378858001
In a sense they did.
However it's a strategy that some hardware manufacturers do. Let the hardcore audience buy the console early and let the hype train for whatever you're selling rev up throughout the months towards Christmas and black Friday. If executed correctly nintendo'll be swimming in the moolah.

are you asking the man to leave his comfortable home, to go to a walmart/ gamestop just to take a picture of an in-stock item on the store shelves and leave?
how demanding of you.
>>378856663
Its not sold out shill, I could buy one right now if I wanted from nearest store, or online, no problem.
Maybe there could be more demand than there is supply in Japan, but otherwise its just a meme
>>378863472
please post a link of a site where i can buy this for retail price.
ive been looking everywhere because i want one so badly but i cant find it
>>378856663
Maybe Nintendo should take care of their supply chain if they want to turn profit.
>product A shipped 200 units and sold 150
>product B shipped 100 units and sold 100
