>Apple is gonna continue to hog all the components all gen

What makes you say that?

Phone updates occur much quicker than Console updates, and so Apple likely won't be using the same chipset for their next generation phone after iPhone 8.

>>381451148
Kids don't stop wanting things and parents don't stop buying them. It means that all sales will be pre-orders. That's all. Parents will still get them for their kids. It's nothing but good for Nintendo when the hype intensifies at Christmas.

I don't think they're going to be upset at selling half a million a month to be honest.

Isn't the usual model for iphone releases a big BIG launch that tapers off rapidly?

>>381451148
Nah, after launch production tapers off

Based Apple.

>chipset
It's the demand for NAND flash memory that has been overwhelmingly greater than supply.

But not just NAND, it's also the motors used for HD Rumble (probably because other companies with advanced taptics, including Apple and the Taptic Engine, use them in mobile devices too), and LCD screens- this one is fairly obvious.

>>381451148
It's going to stop soon as Nintendo isn't the one being targetes by this. It's Samsung and other cellphone companies. Apple can't keep this up for long as they can't take on everyone that uses those components at the same time. Once it starts to hurt their bottomline, they'll stop.

There is no shortage of any LCD components.
There is no shortage of NAND
Apple's Taptic engine isn't even remotely related to Nintendo's garbage

SoC is the only thing and that's entirely nVidia/Nintendo's fault for not securing enough capacity in advance.
Fabs can't scale up production on a whim.

>>381456626
>AMD doesn't have to worry about TSMC being perpetually at-capacity anymore.
>Except for Sony's SoC's which are still made by TSMC
>Somehow even though AMD is a third-tier to TSMC now, they managed to book in advance and there aren't any supply issues for PS4Pro SoC

Nintendo and nVidia really dropped the ball.

No, the LCDs, NANDs, and haptics are definitely in shortage. The NAND shortage in particular is really big and has been covered everywhere. I haven't heard anything about Nintendo lacking SoCs.

This wouldn't have happened if they made a actual real console for once.

there one other factory in taiwan or hongkong but part quality there is lower and such default and faulty console would increase.

If they REALLY need it they'll probably go for it to have enough stock for black friday and the holidays. It all depends on how long apple hogs the parts. If memory serves they should use less once they release the new iphone in spetember

>>381461652

>>381451148
>Supply will remain perpetually scarce

If this is true to occur, it will also mean that demand will always be high. Well, as long as its getting new games. This means its pace for growth will be slowed, but will also remain the same for a long period of time. Depending on how many they can make, with this kind of demand, its on pace to outsell the PS4.

Yes, consoles should emulate the PC, since it emphasizes games over being gimmicky.

The only reason the Ps4 and Xbox are bad is because they emulate the PC poorly, and try and tack on their own garbage proprietary hardware and software limitations.

>>381464231

The tegra x1 chipset is 2015. This is actually Nintendo using usually the most recent chipset available to them. At most is only 2 years old. Especially since arm advances and ridiculous speed compared to desktop counterpart.

Regardless on what you think of the chipset. Last time Nintendo use something close to new technology was N64/GameCube days.

There is no Switch shortage.

>kills
no just like the wii it'll make it more popular because people see it as a commodity. It's ACTUALLY scarce this time too, instead of being held by scalpers like the wii u was, unfortunately for nintendo the market they harvested with the wii moved on to ps4 and xbone for bluray support. switch doesn't even play DVDs, doesn't have fucking netflix, doesn't really have anything that a normie would want, especially a kid. When pokemon comes out though, that'll be a real show of it's popularity.

Apple has exclusive contract and makes their own CPU and uses power vr for their gpu. Only they use those chips. Literally impossible for Nintendo to use these.

Qualcomm is way to expensive and only gives their processors two year support. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/08/why-isnt-your-old-phone-getting-nougat-theres-blame-enough-to-go-around/

Nvidia was their only option. Nvidia wanted in this market as well and it gave them a reason to invest into their tegra line of chips. Nvidia already has worked in the mobile market as well.

Also it wasn't like tegra chips were flying off of shelves before. I'm pretty sure this is the most active Nvidia ever saw the x1 sell with the switch.

Are you...are you defending Nintendo being easily hackable? The PS and Xbox have browsers too. So...

>>381477657
No, we're saying anyone who is so stupid that they believe the browser is absent from the switch because of hardware limitations is unironically too stupid to be posting on /v/, and that's a low fucking bar

What the fuck even gave you that impression? I'm just calling as I see it, and the Switch isn't "incapable of having a browser" it just doesn't let you use it because of Nintendo's own dumb decision making.

>>381467967
Like half the fucking planet has a 3ds at this point and it's had years and years to accumulate games. It's first year was far worse in terms of game droughts compared to the Switch. I can not fucking understand why idiots insist on comparing the library of a system that's been out for a handfull of months to one's that have been out for years

>>381451148

There is a fucking browser already on it, you fucking idiot; you use it to access the eShop and some settings.

They just haven't given full access yet because they know someone will find a webkit exploit that day.

>>381478092
The Nintendo 64 had only Mario 64, Pilotwings, and Wave Race for its first four months.

>>381470514
There's practical uses for HD rumble. More important than giving a particular feeling is that it can indicate direction. For example, Mighty Gunvolt Burst can indicate the location of hidden rooms by rumbling more strongly on the right joycon to indicate the room is to the right and also rumble towards the top of the joycon to indicate it's above the character's on-screen position.

It also can convey something you're touching really well. For example, Shantae uses it to simulate very realistic water, Arms uses it to telegraph punches landing and chip damage, and Senran Kagura is obviously gonna use it for jiggle physics.

I could actually see it being useful for VR.

He is just explaining the whys.

It's a known fact that the browser is the first way all nintendo consoles get hacked. The Switch will get hacked eventually yes, but the reason why they don't have an accessible browser is because they thought that could work.

Isn't the switch using near the same hardware of the Nvidia shield bullshit.

>>381483346
It's misleading because of how low the supply has been. Japan has been getting about 40k units a week, which is barely better than the 3DS was doing at launch, and the 3DS was doing *poorly*. They're undersupplying the fuck out of it. Whether or not it's their fault is speculation. Obviously they wouldn't blame themselves, and it's easy to blame Apple because Apple doesn't give enough shits about a shit toy company like Nintendo to set the record straight. I kind of wish they would

>>381483643
It's not useful if the price of portability is the fact that you can even begin to compete with the other consoles on the market in terms of power.

Still not disinformation when we have been saying that in every thread. And blaming this on Apple is not speculation. It's not like Nintendo is the only company getting squeezed by this, it's an industry-wide problem. The only one actively spreading disinformation is you.

The Shield Tablet's K1 isn't underclocked though. At full power, the K1 is roughly as powerful as the X1 at 30% power, which is what the Switch is in handheld mode. They're very comparable.

>>381451148

The other consoles on the market can't compete with a PC in terms of power. A handful of exclusives is not enough to get me to shell out for a gimped computer. Meanwhile, Nintendo actually sells hardware that isn't easily comparable to other things on the market. If I want what they're selling, there is no one else to go to. I want portability.

Why do they keep framing this like Apple is doing something wrong? Like they're /maliciously/ creating electronics that were designed to use the same components years before the Nintendo Switch was.

Fuck off with this garbage. This is no one's fault but Nintendo for not over-estimating sales the way that every other company on the planet does to ensure there's enough product to meet any potential demand. If that meant waiting for Christmas to release, they should have done that. This has nothing to do with Apple. It's piss-poor planning by Nintendo. Period. Those fuckers couldn't be bothered to ask their manufacturers about anticipated future production capacity and possibly get them in a contract guaranteeing the supply they would need.

>>381484271
They're blaming a component shortage instead of admitting to creating an artificial one

>>381483294
2 stores. They aren't even in the same location on the shelf if you looked at the pictures.
>>381483346
Well I've been to every store in my area and they have either got new shipments daily, or they are just warming shelves right now. I'll go with the latter considering the NDP report earlier this week.

I want the Switch to succeed. I just don't like this blatant shilling.

>>381484390
Again, Nintendo has literally not blamed anyone for the shortage except themselves. Nice try.

>>381484537
Like I said, Canadians are just poor. Sorry you guys ran your economy into the ground.

No, we have a lot of minerals left. Projections are only ever done for the next 15 years, which is why that's always the amount studies say we have left. It could definitely pump even more money to countries with rare metals, though.

Ya but don't fool yourself into thing the benefit of being able to play games for up to 4 hours on the go out ways the fact that the switch won't get a third party game market and even if they do the switch version will be objectively shittier then any version on a real console.
If the switch was the replacement for the DS then cool but they already said that the switch isn't a replacement for there handhelds so it just a shitty console.

St John's Newfoundland. I was just at bestbuy and bought an 8bitdo controller and they had a few boxes on display and when I asked if they had any in stock they told me that the boxes are how many they have put in the back so no one just takes one.

I could have taken a picture of the empty boxes. But I doubt anyone would believe the actual stock was put away.

>>381485356
Let's work through these arguments.
>switch has no third party support
Like I said, I have a PC. I don't need the Switch for those games
>portability doesn't outweigh downsides
That's opinion, and I disagree. Portability is worth quite a lot to me

All Nintendo says is that the 3DS and Switch will live side by side, and they'll support the 3DS into the Switch's lifetime. Which they're doing for now. Good try, though, champ. Maybe next time you'll actually read the article instead of letting an editor fool you with clickbait.

>>381451148
If there is a demand for it, there will be a supply for it, or else the supplier risks losing money. Therefor the supplier will increase production to meet demand. That is how the free market works and is a basic economic principle.

>>381486430
It's true, the most likely outcome of all this is heavier mining operations, which probably needs to happen anyway. Mobile demand is only going to get larger.

In a sense it results in the same problem. No games so no one wants to buy the console. No console so no one wants to buy the games. Either one ends up with Nintendo fucking themselves over again.

>>381491450
It's not the same problem if stock sells out while it's being produced. The games are bought when consoles are bought. The Wii U was sitting on shelves. The two situations are in no way comparable.

To be fair, when they boast performances on their hardware and the "capabilities" as if it were the best shit ever, only for it to an underperforming PC anyway. They might as well stop shilling how many TERAFLOPS its GPU can process when the games still run 30 fps and can't even run at actual 4K. If all they did was focus on games, and nothing else. Then nothing would change, because it won't stop shiggy diggy publishers like EA and Ubisoft from releasing unfinished content to meet a quota

>>381496116
The only thing that I was happy about the PS4 Pro's release, was the same as the N3DS, the possibility to use the new clocks on old games with poor framerates.
Fortunately, we didn't have to wait for CFW to make use of them, since the scene are a bunch of cunts who hoard all exploits to themselves.
And Sony and MS can go fuck themselves with their shitty 4K support. It looks amazing, but it's not worth it if the games look like slideshows.

>>381458225
In this case Apple is buying for a much higher price the components Nintendo needs to make the consoles. They can't do jackshit in this situation unless they find a subtitute or start making the components themselves.
