Nintendo Switch shortages to occur for the rest of the year

nah, Nintendo are just extremely cheap kikes. Apple, Samsun, Sony, Huawei&co. offered the manufacturers better deals for certain components and Nintendo was literally too kikerish and cheap to keep up.

This proves that Nintendo is just an autistic kid trying to play with the adults.

What are they supposed to do? Set up a meeting with Apple to ask "Hey, can you reduce production on your normalfag meme phones that generate billions every year? We need those parts you're using."

I have ten more to sell with five botw master editions and ten special editions left. NEET bucks are everywhere.

If you are telling the truth, I salute you and kek at all those desperate Nintendownie permavirgin manchildren .

Toddlers are always shitposting about how Nintendo has so much money in the bank, they could fail over and over until 2050 and still not go broke, blah blah blah.
So why the FUCK can't they just start outbidding Apple for the parts? Why are they such cheap asses?

People who accuse others of being underage are usually underage themselves, its projection.

>>381157630
All they can do is set up new production lines which if I recall correctly, can take a year or more to set up. What law is there to say "you can't buy x amount of our shit because that wouldn't be fair to everyone else"? It's first come first serve.

>>381157442
Nintendo is literally a small fry in the business world, contrary to what Nintendicksucker manchildren will tell you on this board and MyNintendoNews.com
They have no leverage nor any pull in dictating conditions. They have to take it in the ass like its fanbase has been since the Gamecube days.

The Wii came out and was met with VERY limited supply during its launch year.

Furthermore, during the first three years of its life, holiday seasons could not keep them in stock in the slightest.

You would know this if you were not shitting in your diapers at the time of its release.

It's okay if you dont like the games, but I'm actually really looking foward to a lot of them.

Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, and Xenoblade 2.
I also enjoyed the original Pokken and I already have ARMs and Zelda, which have been decent fun.
Honestly I am really looking foward to the Mario+Rabbids too. For some reason the gameplay looks fun, and the characters ended up being more charming than "raw memes" like the leaks made me think

>>381156425

And I was kinda thinking about buying a Switch soonish too. Or sometime before Super Mario Odyssey comes out anyway.

>>381160916
They still mass produce the games though. There is not enough demand to scalp for the games. Especially if they can be purchased through download. Local stores around here have no consoles, but are stocked full of the games.

>>381161904
Fucking lol. The kid friendly image continues.

It's childish as fuck to only focus on teens, and a more mature media like movies and books actually don't latch to an specific audience.

Glass cracks if you drop it. Plastic scratches.
>what kind of idiot drops their things
Literal children (Nintendo's primary audience despite the advertisements) that doesn't have the dexterity of an adult. Go watch a five year old play with anything. There are a lot more "oops"s than you remember from when you were a kid.

>>381162256
>and a more mature media like movies and books actually don't latch to an specific audience.
>what is every cinematic game being made right now

There have been two times where I was strongly tempted to buy a Switch but they were out of stock so I didn't bother impulse buying one. The first was right after launch when Zelda was getting a lot of praise and the second was during E3 when we saw more of Mario Odyssey and Prime 4 got announced. Either way I'm not desperate to buy one right now at this moment so it's Nintendo's loss.

>>381162397
Games aiming at teens.
Yes, they're "filmic" but, it's the same pandering to the same audience.

>>381156425
>component shortages
Is shitty plastic that hard to come by?

>>381162496
Those games are aimed at everyone. Cinematic games are even more normie tier mainly cause they arent hard and are meant to give a more passive experience, so they can be enjoyed by anyone. In fact, games with more gameplay in them will more than likely be enjoyed by a kid audience.

The problem here in the industry is lacking that adult coverage while also provided gameplay that doesn't treat you like an idiot, which is a narrow field of games available right now. It's why games like the Souls series, for a time, was hot with a niche audience. It hit the point of being a dungeon crawler with an expanded experience than previous games.

I know what makes sense business wise. Doesn't mean I can't be upset about it. If Nintendo wanted, they could invest in games tailored to the old NES-SNES crowd who grew up with them. But we're left disappointed every year cause they no longer make games for us. In fact, I can tell their game development has fallen behind over the recent years, probably due to shortening their budgets to keep profit margins high. A zelda with no dungeons, little music, and hardly any depth to its world? That would have never flew in 2000 Nintendo. Instead, Nintendo now has an army of normies and casuals ready to defend their every decision, which is why people like myself cannot vote with our wallets. The normies outnumber us.

They tried appealing to the older demographic during the gamecube era. We got Metroid, F-Zero, Twilight Princess, Exclusives from Capcom, Their strongest 3rd party support since the SNES, Smash Bros got a T rating. All of that didn't make them enough money so Nintendo had to look elsewhere

They were profiting tho.

You seem unaware that Nintendo design choices and strong software sells allow them to profit much more easily than other.

There's a reason why the PS3 flopping cost almost 5 billion for sony while WiiU was slightly profitable ( but obviously not enough)

I'm mildly interested in a switch for a few games, but goddamn it's way too fucking expensive wherever I look it's like $400.
Maybe I'll get one during the holiday season if nintendo isn't full blown jews and drop the price a little

>>381167407
why would they? it's selling perfectly fine

>>381167407
Nintendo's price is $300 if you're talking USD. They're not responsible for the prices scalpers attach to them.

I was asking a leading question, a hypothetical.
Of course scalpers are still selling them, and above MSRP. That's the point.
Those switches would be sold out with or without scalpers because the demand is insanely high right now.

Switch has near Wii levels of demand, we'll know where it's at after Christmas. I imagine if Nintendo can't work things out with their NAND manufacturer they'll offer to pay them extra just for the holidays to actually meet some demand.

>>381168258
Those are a rarity but if you don't want to take that even minuscule chance I'd say that's fine, I have had 0 problems with my one personally, I still have no idea how people manage to scratch their screens in the dock, I grinded my screen against the top of my dock and still no scratches

Amazon doesn't have any from Nintendo right now. Their system shows store-ends from secondary sellers when they're out of stock. You're looking at scalper prices.

Gamestop forces you to buy Switches in bundles with other stuff to total around $400 to increase their profit per console. Not as bad as paying a scalper $400 for just the Switch, but they're still taking advantage of the situation.

>>381168467

Oh damn, I guess they're sold out there. Saw them listed as 300 on Best Buy, but they're sold out. Also 400 on Gamespot now.

>>381168561
Are you stupid?
Supply constraints just means they sell 10-15 million by March instead of 20 million like they wanted to.
Then they (mostly) fix the issue by next year and proceed to sell another 20 million for its second year.
Just like the Wii.

cheap build quality and poorly set tolerances = a lot of variance. your dock is probably fine, but some are probably too tight or have something catching at just the wrong spot and scratch the screen.

Or, more likely, it was bullshit from the start. No one complains about it anymore, just like no one complains about the supposed bending issues, or getting the joycon grips stuck. The only consistently provable issue was the the left joycon's connectivity, and that was fixed from the second production batch on.

And how many people was it that claimed it? Three? It literally makes no sense for the dock to scratch the screen. Plus, people are constantly buying this thing. The initial people might stop complaining, but the new ones wouldn't. It would be something that was consistently brought up as a downside of the console, and everyone would be constantly recommended to buy a screen protector.
The dock scratching thing was a complete myth.

Nintendo 'forced the scarcity' in that they didn't want to pay double for production and lose money on each Switch sold. Not to mention they'd just be put in a bidding war with Apple for priority production, which Apple would outbid them on.

>>381169651
This post is incomprehensible. What does the artificial scarcity myth have to do with the dock scratching myth?

>>381167702
nah, because they were building new 250 million$ new headquarters

>>381169379
a few people online claimed to have them, you are talking about well below 1% of the people who brought a switch, well within the margin of error for manufacturing defects, the one thing that was a build issue was the blue joycon desync issues which was itself fixed for free by nintendo, an error that they took full responsibility for.

Like I said, if you want to wait for the probability of getting a defective unit to reach 0 or not buy at all fine, but the issue appears to be far more common than it really is, or Nintendo would have issued a statement, like the blue joycon issue, which still affected few customers.

>>381169858
I'm honestly curious how much of the reason behind that is true or false, considering apple hasn't or anyone else hasn't made a statement on that at all. If a company makes an excuse for something, always take it with a grain of salt.

>>381169960

>>381169960
Why would apple make a statement on an issue that doesn't negatively effect them? Their Iphones are so horrendously overpriced and they are worth order of magnitude more than Nintendo that they could win every time, and Iphones sell entire console generations in a year.

oops, looks like you're retarded, because what i actually said was that a bunch of people posted videos of it and since most people don't bother posting videos on youtube of every issue they run into, the number is probably higher than the total number you can find on youtube
but retards like you cling to misinterpretations of fallacies as a way to avoid having to actually having to argue shit. here's one you might want to try on: strawman

>>381169934
see this is by far the most reasonable response. you're probably right as far as it being a really small number of people compared to the total number of people who bought them. i agree it probably affects a small percentage of people. it's not just the one problem, though, and i'm perfectly fine with waiting a year to see if they release another sku or something. the only games on switch i'm kind of interested in rn are mario and metroid and metroid's not gonna be out until next year anyway. i have plenty of other stuff to play, i'm still working my way through my 3ds library.

Yes, I'm sure the article is just the opinion of a journalist without any explanation of their reasoning. You're probably one of the stupider people I've talked to today.

>>381169960
The only statement that Nintendo made was in their Q1 financial report, when they said they would have put the expected year 1 numbers at 18 million but put it at 10 million because of issues with supply.
WSJ found out the reason why.
It's bad business to shit on other companies.

>>381170150
Yes and no.
It makes sense for current supply constraints.
However, I doubt it'll last the end of the year, since iphone 7/7s demand will slow down soon.

Feelsgood

>looks like you're retarded, because what i actually said was that a bunch of people posted videos of it and since most people don't bother posting videos on youtube of every issue they run into, the number is probably higher than the total number you can find on youtubebut retards like you cling to misinterpretations of fallacies as a way to avoid having to actually having to argue shit. here's one you might want to try on: strawman

not an argument :P

>>381170394
>believing everything a journalist says

That's why your generation is retarded.

>>381170384
You can not find one example showing the dock actually scratching the screen. Literally not one. It's all videos of people showing a scratched screen and blaming it on the dock.

>>381170464
>immediately dismissing everything a journalist says
You're a lot more retarded than me. The article tells you how they reached those conclusions, that's the point. Immediately assuming they're lying is going to make you wrong 99% of the time.

>>381170554
i mean, by the time the screen is scratched, it's too late to really show it happening
i guess you could show it getting worse if you kept sliding it in and out over and over again

>>381170554
it's hard to show off because it's something that happens over time. All it takes is one or two careless pulls of the switch out of the dock and you rock it forward into the corner and it scrapes against the screen.

Less than an issue with the dock, it's an issue with nintendo for not having a proper gorilla glass screen.

>>381170736
You could if it actually scratched the screen, which it likely doesn't...

>>381157726
Interior BC here, they're impossible to find at anywhere but Walmart. Walmart stocks up on them every monday around noon looks like, and usually they're gone by the end of Tuesday.

>>381170785
>All it takes is one or two careless pulls of the switch out of the dock and you rock it forward into the corner and it scrapes against the screen.

yeahhh that's bullshit

>>381170736
Yes, if it's an issue it should be repeatable, and it's not.

>>381170785
These claims popped up within a day of release. If the scratches happened that quickly, they are a repeatable issue you can show off.

Early production / shipping errors, I wouldn't be surprised if it was due to them shipping some units by air in the first month.

>>381156425
>4 year old off the shelf hardware
>Shortages
Does Nintendo think people actually believe that?

>>381171252
Weren't the air shippings after Smarch?

>>381171364
Switch uses Mobile parts. A quick google search would show you that the factories that make these parts are suffering from shortages leading to companies like Apple, Samsung, Nintendo etc fighting over parts but you're retarded

>>381171417
No, the air shipping was just in March.

They must be holding back some of the production for the holidays, there is no way that they will lose such an opportunity to go big.

Or are they going to follow George Lucas and just sell an empty box as a pre-order ticket? That could be kinda cool too, since they are selling just the Splatoon 2 bundle box for $5 anyway

My dad bought me one for my birthday this week. I am 29 years old...

>>381171649
They are obviously "holding back" at least some units for Splatoon, as they are making Splatoon bundles.

>>381171364

>>381171825
Selling an empty box for a game is a stupid idea
Selling empty boxes and a free print of any games box art even ones that don't get a boxed release would be nice for people who like to collect games but are interested in getting these games digitally for portability reasons is a good idea.

>>381172070

Why are people clamoring so hard for a BotW machine?

>>381171730
Yeah, reportedly, the shipments stores were getting in May were kind of small, probably to keep some stock for the big shipments around Splatoon's launch and fulfill all the bundle pre-orders.

>>381172312
because it's a fun toy.

>>381172312
Because they want to play it.

Okay, well fuck this.

Should I just grab one now instead of holding out until the holidays for a bundle of sorts..?

>>381172165
But that's not even slightly what I said, I personally would love to buy empty boxes for digitally release PC games to display on a shelf, obviously nowhere near the price of a full game, and I'd pay a little extra for the old fully feature manuals we used to get as well as the few extras that came in those old boxes.

>>381171697
Happy birthday, anon!

>>381172487
I'd hold out for that holiday Odyssey bundle, I think we will see a red and white goycon.

>>381172812
>goycon

made me kek even if this wasnt on purpose

>>381172812
What's the point if it's all going to be sold out immediately. If you can buy it now then I say go for it.

>>381159276
You must not remember that it was also a GameCube, and first introduced the virtual console for their old games which people couldn't easily buy and play on modern tvs

>>381172487
I don't think there are going to be any miracle deals this year. Stores are selling out so quickly that they have zero incentive to give people bargain prices. Any bundles are going to be around the same price as paying for the console and whatever else is in it, anyway.

I don't think the price is dropping any time soon, so I'd say buy it now if you want it, but only if you can find it for the retail price. Don't pay scalpers for one.

>>381172812
The things is that by then the scenario might be even worse, and only God knows what will be of Black Friday and its consumerism frenzy.

If you can get one now, do it. Unless you are really waiting for a specific game or joycon colors. Don't expect a bundle, not for the US at least

If this is Apple's fault, then why was Nintendo talking about how they were flying over all these new units to get them back on the shelves? Now, all the sudden other people using up the components are to blame? Doesn't compute.

>>381156548
Wii is a console and the switch has mobile parts which is competing against other manufacturers.

>>381173576
You're an idiot

>>381173576
Nintendo was using planes to ship units in March, the launch month. Back then, they had extra stock of units because they had several months to manufacture and save up units. Now, that stock has been depleted, and it's manufacturing, not shipping, that's limiting the stock. Also, none of these reports are coming from Nintendo, but other industry sources.

>>381173153
Well that's the thing..I don't WANT one just yet. But I feel as though if I wait too long, I'll be screwed.

My local game shop does get regular stock, though.

I think it will be more than the end of the year. I wouldn't expect supply to start meeting demand until next summer.

>not just waiting for two years to see if Nintendo fixes their mess and have games for their console

It took the Wii U at least two years to start getting a supply of games. That seems to be the best time to do any purchase decisions.
