So this is the face of the nintenbro.

I'm so glad I don't look, act, and make purchasing decisions like a faggot.

Why is this a problem as if they're poor as fuck and can't get more men ?

No other console manufacturer has this problem constantly

>>381392669
It's got to suck for them. Honestly, how do they not have enough made by launch? Kind of retarded as a business decision.

>>381392669
>Make the same dumb ass mistake every generation

Stop apologizing and do something about it. No need to understandu just get the shit done you hacks.

The parts they need access to in order to manufacture Switch are currently being horded by Apple to produce the latest iPhone.

Once that comes out, you'll see an influx of Switch units in stores.

They do actually. The Xbox One didn't come out in most of Europe until a year later because of this.

>>381394609
>No other console manufacturer has this problem constantly
Xbone and Ps4 are of the self PC parts

Switch are more specialized parts for phones and currently Apple is monopolizing almost all of em cause new Iphone

>>381394931

>old images from reddit
Huh.

>>381396643
Nintendo COULD have paid more than Apple to get the parts before them. Why didn't they?

>>381396772
cause they literally could not outbid apple

>>381396295
I think it actually was released later to iron out the Kinect commands for all the different languages. Even if the owners speak fluent English you can't trust the machine to comprehend their accent.

>>381396772
>Nintendo COULD have paid more than Apple
Isn't Foxconn the slave labor sweatshop where this is taking place? Apple is pretty much being nice by even allowing them to get parts.

>>381396895
but everyone here says nintendo has so many billions that they could afford pretty much anything

>>381396928
Yeah, that was the excuse. A bad one at that, cause that could be added with a simple update without any problems.

>>381395328
Pretending everything is fine is a huge part of their culture.

>>381396772
Apple would likely outbid them. Having stock for your new release is far more important for a phone, which has many very similar competitors, than a nintendo console, which is bought for its exclusives.

>>381396942
>foxconn
No, it's Toshiba. China just got into memory fabrication this year.

>>381397067

>Using your saving in an attrition war
and this is why you never should run a business

>>381397064
But then you would have a machine with a major feature you couldn't use.

>>381397025
They do, but getting in a bidding war with Apple over stuff like this is not a smart way to spend those billions.

>>381397435
A feature no one wanted to use. Something Microsoft knew because they announced that they'd pull the Kinect out of the bundle in May, yet didn't deliver the console to most of Europe until september.

It was a silly excuse for just not having enough stock ready

They can barely put out N3DSs, who would expect them to put out Switches?
We know how Nintendo plays the game.

Fucking this. I find it genuinely sad when people worship Japan because m-muh otaku lifestyle

>>381392669
So this is specifically only in regard to Japan's Switch shortage? I'm lucky enough to own a Switch that I bought for retail, but I'm sad on everyone else's behalf that it's such a fucking pain to try to find one. Hopefully Nintendo finds a way to satisfy the American demand for the system too

Seriously, try buying one from somewhere like Australia. They're everywhere.

>>381396772
Apple has around 10x what Nintendo does in liquid cash and Apple have a significantly higher profit margin for their devices than Nintendo. you are talking about a decision even stupider than Capcoms worse, the only company stupider than Nintendo.

>>381395328
They aren't. There are definite advantages to living there over the rest of the planet (relatively low crime rate, hardly any niggers or terrorist-niggers) but it's a ridiculously workaholic culture that makes the western workaholic culture look like a vacation and everybody is so repressed that anime was born.

>>381397025
They do, they are called reserves and going into a bidding war with Apple would burn those.
Not that it matters because Apple would just outbid them at every turn even with you take into account their cash reserve.

>>381400851
>People WILLINGLY work 60+ hours
>Some even work 80+ hours
>Some actually think their job is more important than their families, dating and their own wellbeing

It sucked when I realized Japan isn't that great at all. No wonder why so many just drop out of society and become Otaku, Herbivore Men etc.

>>381397025
Those are for reserves, they aren't meant to be spent frivolously on a fucking bidding war
Not to mention, they have 5 billion in reserves, which is a lot.
Apple is 250 billion in reserves. They would lose

>>381401195
The day you realize most of the problems you have on a day-to-day basis would be a thousand times worse if you were japanese is the day you stop being a weeb. And they have shitty peanut butter.

I still love their cartoons and games.

>>381401296
What's wrong with their peanut butter?

>>381401195
Perhaps the most depressing thing about all this is that they can fix so many of their current issues if they would just lighten their work load, re-position their lifestyle priorities, and encourage at least some form of individualism. As with any culture though, that shit isn't gonna happen in the flick of a finger.

>>381394931
>>381395059

>>381401296
>I still love their cartoons and games.
Same here. Fuck living there though. I'd rather not be worked like a slave and have to act like one too.

>>381401561
They need to actually make unpaid overtime illegal and punish both the worker and the employer. Make working weeks like 40 hours week. Let them have individuality and stop the shaming of public affection. You would probably fix their birth rates with those steps.

>>381396772
>You can outbid Apple
Pffffthahahahaha
If Samsung can't outbid apple then fat chance Nintendo can.

>>381401561
>flick of a chopstick

They had to start a "lottery" that allows you to buy a Switch too. I think I heard that Yakuza were paying homeless people to wait in line so they could buy all of the stock.

>>381401864
Anon, conversion wise the cheapest MSRP is in Japan.
They'd essentially be paying 'scalper fees' if they buy it anywhere but a store in Japan

>>381401985
and Yakuza work for Kimishama so Nintendo is buying their own stock?

IT'S NOT FAOR BROS, THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!!!

Maybe I don't understand how it works, but why did Nintendo choose parts from a distributor used by bigger companies like Apple in the first place? Doesn't that sound like a bad idea from the get go?

>>381401195
There's literally nothing wrong with a lot if you enjoy your job but I'm willing to bet most of them don't

>>381392669
>ywn be this happy again

>>381402225
Parts are only economical to be made for big companies. If a company just sat around with the equipment to make electrical parts without anyone buying them, they'd go out of business.

>Retard Nintendo fanboys who are the fucking worst on the planet plug their ears and screech if you dare insult Nintendo

>>381402034
not really, they could just buy one from an EU store at doesn't charge VAT on international orders (Amazon) and get it for roughly the same price

Damn. I've made about twenty grand scalping them so far. In the first week of release, I sold them at a grand each.

Nintenbros are so easy to make bank from.

>>381402382
Even if I loved my job, I wouldn't want to work 80+ hours a week. I value my free time and I imagine many other would too. I think that's one reason they don't date, they have no "me" time.

>>381402570
They really have and I say that as someone who owns two 3DS consoles and a Switch.

>Amiibo stock is so low and they're generally expensive as fuck
>Amiibo are basically "rare" DLC too and a lot worse than other companies that do DLC
>Game droughts are too frequent
>I've had no issues, but I can't use wifi in my room with my TV because the Switch has commonly known wifi issues

What fucking shortage. Seriously don't buy into Nintendo'switch spin. I haven't found one person who hasn't been able to walk in into a store and buy one. That said I have seen stores that only stock a few copies of each game.

>>381402889
>Commonly known wifi issues
>If you dare mention this even with explicit proof you just get called a troll

Can't win

>>381402570
>Severe game droughts during the Wii U they've only finally remedied with the Switch

Chyea good luck if you don't like multiplayer focused games because that eliminates both Arms and Splatoon 2. Now you're stuck with a Zelda machine until the end of the year. That's ~8 months without any really groundbreaking to play. Arms is coming out as lukewarm and hardly any threads here are made and I'm sure Splatoon 2 will be a quality game but I didn't really like the first one.

Pretty fucking infuriating to me. I want to buy a Switch but Nintendo just doesn't want to take my money. I'll get one with Prime 4 and Pokemon. Until then they can suck my dick.

Please understand.

>>381403090
How can they be this delusional?

>Use the same room for a long time
>Could use every device with wifi in their (PS3/4, Wii/U, 3DS, DS etc) with no issues
>Hook my Switch up
>One bar and it drops out
>Have to go near my router to do anything wifi related

>>381403127
>Chyea good luck if you don't like multiplayer focused games because that eliminates both Arms and Splatoon 2
And if you own a different console/PC, I'd personally prefer to play a "real" shooter/fighter with an actual online community/culture, over those two games.

>be in Australia
>can easily get a Switch at any time, they're just too goddamn expensive
This is amiibo all over again. EB can't GIVE those goddamn things away.

>>381392669

I'll buy a switch in a few years at the pawn shop for less than $100.

Fuck Nintendo.

>>381401195
>Japan considers hour long meetings about nothing, sleeping at your desk, and drinking beer with your bosses "mandatory work"
>Most of it is to basically look good and kiss asses to your bosses
Americans actually work harder than Japanese people, according to many studies. Japanese businessmen aren't actually working hard so they have time to contemplate how bad they're getting fucked over and get stressed. Americans in poverty get to work 4 jobs at the same time and barely have enough time to think about everything.

they really can't give them away. Hope there's some good deals when Mario comes out, I want one.

>>381403303
They're bundling Amiibos which have presumably been warming shelves with Switch consoles now. They don't want to include something you can actually play on it. That would make too much sense.

>>381403402
From what I hear, they'll just pretend to work for a few hours, until their boss goes home because if they leave early, that's "not being a team player". Fuck that noise.

Not him, but as a Switch owner:
>Mario&rabbids
The Rabbids are the Minions of gaming. I find the game insulting and blatant child pandering.
>SMO

>XC2 and fire emblems warrior.
Interested, however, I'm afraid they'll be censored and not include dual audio.

>>381403449
>Mario & Rabbids
Looks good but not a system seller to me. A secondary game to something bigger like BOTW.

>SMO
Releases October 27th. That's a long ass time away.

>FE warriors
I have a N3DS

>XC2
I didn't like the first one that much, was meh to me. Don't care that much for a sequel.

Honestly the biggest thing that would sell it for me right now would be VC as pathetic as that sounds. I want to be able to have that kind of massive library on the go with physical controls. Would be an immediate buy and I expected info at E3 only to be let down and teased with games 2 years out.

>>381403446
really anon? is the Switch your only console?

when I bought the PS4 I only had bloodborne, played that and it sat there for a while, I continued playing the Xbone.

having only 1 console will not satisfy anyone during launch, it takes a couple of years to get many good games.

While my Switch has continued to provide good games for me, I also spend time playing PS4 and Xbone so I have no problem if I don't turn the Switch on for days, it has games now and good games are also coming.

>>381403487

> Stay delusional

Silly idiot, drug addicts sell their game systems all the time for 1/3 of the price they paid to get money for weed.

Pawn shops are loaded with game systems for low cost and the switch won't be worth much in a few years.

>>381403606
>>End up getting smart ass remarks from retards who thought I had all this shit going at once and just completely ignore my actual issue
See, this bothers me so fucking much. Are they just fucking ignorant or that much of a fanboy? I genuinely assumed my Switch was broken when I set it up because of the wifi issues. I won't pay for Nintendo's online service at all because of this and will avoid games like Arms, Splatoon 2 etc. I want to play multiplayer on my big screen with my recliner, not on handheld mode. Nintendo should be getting grilled by the gaming press and internet for this hardware flaw.

>>381403686
And all the Amiibo they include have been on shelves for so long. They can't even sell some of these for like $7. It's like how the same store is doing PS4 bundles with Bethesda games liek Dishonoured 2 and DOOM which aren't selling either.

>>381395328

>>381403083
One of my co-workers has been trying to get a Switch since launch and any time he is at a store that would carry them, they are sold out. Another co-worker had to go to Best Buy before work the morning they got a shipment in to get his. If you can't make it to the store within an hour or two of it opening, you simply can not find a Switch anywhere around where I live.

>>381404307
I had to do that to get a Nes mini classic, by the time the store opened they had ran out of tickets to get them. so anyone arriving when the store opened where shit outta luck

So let's recap
So far Nintendo fans have

-Fallen for the Amiibo artificial scarcity meme
-Fallen for the NES Mini artificial scarcity meme
-And now fallen for the Switch artificial scarcity meme

Someday you'll have to wake up and stop getting bamboozled. How many $600+ purchases are you going to make from scalpers off ebay until you realize that Nintendo is not your friend?

>>381394609
They're fucking with you to ensure that they only need to manufacture the bare minimum that will ship. It's why Amiibos were going for 400 dollars a figure and the NES Classic got discontinued despite having record sales each time it re-stocked.

Would there be shortages if they just made a home based console?

>>381401396
It is grainy as fuck, like, it literally tastes like watered down grain mixed with concrete and it is almost as sweet as normal peanut butter, but the remaining taste and texture just make it awful.

>>381405302
Yes
They did that already. Remember how the NES Classic was over nine months backordered despite being a cheap box with a cheap processor inside that emulated Nintendo games? One that people have made with Raspis for under sixty dollars?

It's a sham, there's no other way to explain it. No other modern console maker, including Nintendo during the Wii-U's launch, had this much of a delay on restocking and resupplying to corrected numbers. This is going on three months now.

>>381401396
It's pretty much impossible to find good peanut butter outside the US.

>s-so sorry for creating artificial scarcity, goy-sama

Of course, it's not gonna sell in Canada with that price besides Toronto.

After reading this I checked Best Buy and Amazon, and both are still out of stock. Fuck you, Nintendo.

>>381401716
I'm on board with this, how dare they publish such blatant misinformation that would undoubtedly have a negative effect on the share price.
If Nintendler hadn't of lied like this, surely my 100yen would be 6million by now.

I went to Walmart and they had Switch in stock. Like four of them.

>>381396643
>create console using parts you can't procure

>>381408194
Nintendo projected 10M units year 1

that 10M units will be met cause contracts

the problem is that Switch demand easily out class that 10M

and when they went to ask for more, surprise, Apple had bought most of it.

>>381408721
As much as I hate calling people "sheeple" because it makes me sound like an edgy teenager, holy fucking Christ alive I do not understand why the average fuckstick falls all over themselves over Apple products

>Stupid shit like if you try to connect your ipod to another computer it wipes the memory
>Stupid shit like removing the headphone jack

>>381409389
Because that's literally what a brand is. This applies to a lot of things, since originally the brands were built off the backs of quality products.

>>381409580
Well no fucking shit, I just mean that Apple has literally nothing positive going except "well it looks nice" and they openly shit on everyone and everything while still having such a rabid, devoted cult.

>>381409676
Apple maintains its image through flashiness and shininess. They've still managed to lose a lot of goodwill with people who actually understand tech, and are losing marketshare ground to Android.

Literally who is buying a Switch? There are no games for it yet

>sold out in all JB hifi stores within a 200km radius

Sure there was a few grey ones but they were still about 40kms away.

It's not completely sold out but it's a lot worse than I've seen any other console be

>>381392669
Guess they found out that everybody knew about their artificial scarcity scam from the start then

Nintendo ALWAYS purposely manufactures shit less than there is demand. It's nothing but a marketing strategy to get people talking and creating an illusion that everybody in the world wants their latest thing.

>>381394530
Yes anon, Nintendo fans have happy faces because they get to play fun games. I'm sorry you can't say the same.

Are you really this fucking retarded? Same shit has been happening since Wii.

They are huge as fuck company that has divisions for researching the market demand. That is also what pre-orders are for, to give them a clue for the minimum number they need to ship and add number X to it to keep the product in stores after launch.

Are you seriously saying that Nintendo products are so wanted that just for that reasen they are the only company this happens to all the time? If yes, you are simply wrong and the overall sales numbers of other consoles versus Nintendo proves this.

See how Sony's profits drop like a rock at the start and end of each new generation? That's because Sony incurs debt to produce a massive amount of consoles that they sell at a loss. Nintendo finances everything themselves and sell at a profit, it's just a way of running a highly efficient business that doesn't waste money on interest payments or storage for overproduced products.

>>381416945
So you don't have a source for your claim?

>>381416960
Sonys profits dropped because of their TV and phone line, Playstation actually is their most profitable business.

>>381416945
We have confirmation from source outside Nintendo that explain that the reason for the scarcity is because they are fighting Apple for rare components they need for the Switch.
Why are doing such big mental gymnastics when we already know the reason?

>>381417110
The picture clearly says Sony Game. They lost billions because they sold the PS3 at a loss for years.

>>381417028
I can't provide you a source for common logic and math.

Go see the sales figures and compare them to MS and Sony. I'm not going to google that shit for you, you ridiculous ape.

>>381416945
>Are you seriously saying that Nintendo products are so wanted that just for that reasen they are the only company this happens to all the time?
Unlike Sony or Microsoft, Nintendo has a monopoly on the handheld market and they have much more valuable IPs than both Microsoft and Sony combined. So yes, their products tend to sell out and stay sold out for a long time.

>>381417214
Are you saying PC and other consoles don't have ugly fat people among their fanbase?

Where can I get the red and blue JoyCon?

I've had the gray ones since launch and they're really dull, they're basically the kind of JoyCon you'd buy to hide the fact you're playing a Nintendo console in public. I bought the yellow ones when Arms came out, and they're just ok, they lack the Nintendo flair that only red and blue can convey.

First lesson: don't make claims you can't back up with proof.

>>381417949
PROVE IT. Oh, that's right. You can't, you stupid fucking retard. Kill yourself.

>>381418009
I cannot prove you the sky is blue either if you decide to be ignorant.

So far you haven't brought any arguments to this conversation why you think you are correct, while I'm saying what Nintendo is doing is common practice.

>>381418274
>So far you haven't brought any arguments to this conversation why you think you are correct,
Because I don't make claims I can't prove. I never said the artificial scarcity is true or false, because I can't prove either claim.
The facts are
>Nintendo is fighting with Apple to get certain components
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/05/nintendo_in_competition_with_apple_for_in-demand_switch_parts
>Nintendo used expensive shipping methods (by plane, which costs about $50 per console) to deliver the products over the world to meet demands.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/nintendo-shipped-switch-consoles-by-plane-to-quickly-meet-high-demand-1493619178
So I can ASSUME that no, the scarcity is not artificial. But unlike you, I won't try to pass it as the truth.
> what Nintendo is doing is common practice.

Flash memory maybe. But a screen shortage doesn't make sense. The Nintendo switch uses a 720p display not to mention that would be a big iPhone.

>>381417675
>>381417432
>>381417375
>>381417214
Are these people happy? They look like they are enjoying what they're doing.

>>381418931
The original source lists NAND flash memory, LCD screens, and haptic motors as examples of components under shortage. It mentions that they're in demand for other devices, but the NAND chips shortage is the biggest thing. Those are the ones being targeted by Apple. There could be some other components that aren't mentioned specifically, too.

>>381418274
Prove it.

Sony sold 60mio ps4. And there are still like only 5 games for that

>>381421092
yeah i thought that was like gonna spell it out for people that they shouldnt buy anything DAY ONE.

but no one learns it seems. I haven't bought a single new console yet, infact the newest shit i bought is the 2DS XL coming out cause i didnt want to buy a 3DS till they removed that bullshit gimmick no one liked.

Seriously nothing has justified people to be in such a sinkhole of buyer's remorse in previous years, why do people jump at the chance to throw money at absolutely fucking nothing? Why not just wait?

>>381420970
It has Zelda, that is all it needs.

>>381421171
Chicken and egg problem.
No one makes software for something no one buys.

>>381392669
Portugal here, stores are full of switches and no one cares about the switch.

So Nintendo's just incompetent instead of being this scheming 5D underwater chess grandmaster the Nintendiots claim they are.

>>381421171
It depends on the console. I've bought a lot of games for the Switch.

Is the switch worth 1/3 of my monthly pay? I kinda wan't it but I don't even know what I'd play on it.

>>381421405
Who still makes software for Nintendo? At this point, after burning all their bridges with third-party publishers with the Wii and Wii U, Nintendo's its own isolated ecosystem. Nintendo is selling solely on brand loyalty.

>>381421530
You've got it backwards. The anti-Nintendo are the ones who have been accusing Nintendo of creating "artificial scarcity" for some crazy scheme this whole time.

>>381421612
>make $900 a month
Nigga u broke as fuck.

Right now the Switch has BotW, so if spending $460 for one game is appealing to you, then go for it.

>>381421612

It doesnt matter if you work hard or not. If you spend more time at work that will fuck you over.

Its the same with commute and why living close to your work is important.
If you take a two hour train ride to work you technically dont work but its still not leisure time for yourself.

Its much better working really hard over a shorter period of time than just wasting time doing fuckall.

>>381403446
there's many small games that look cool like Blaster Master and that Gunvolt spinoff but I just dont have cash right now.

nintendo is shit and this confirmed it, switch was AND IS a huge letdown, they could have actually made a good console but nooo, they have to ruin it with "portable" (shits battery life is shorter than a cig) and shitty conTROLLers
also it doesnt have any good games on it. wtf I aint interested in buying skyrim for the umptheenth time

>>381421092
is this b8? only 5 games on ps4? git gud and buy it, it still has more games than switch will ever have

>>381396772
Nintendo comes out with a new console every 5 years for about $300
Apple comes out with several new phones every year for more than twice the cost
Apple just makes more money doing less work
Plus if Nintendo paid more, the consumer would have to pay more for the console as well

They're working to fix this, it's still a bit issue and long term problem though.

It's actually important to note that even though they have the workaholic culture problem they still have one of the lower work efficiency rates in the developed world so it's possible that companies worry lowering working hours will kill their ability to compete even though it would likely stop people being dead barely able to work husks.
