>switch flopped What the fuck happened?

>>382103583
When did that happen? Make sure to provide sources and actual arguements :)

>>382103583
How does selling so many consoles that they had to issue a public apology for not having enough consoles to sell equal flopping?

I ordered one a couple of hours ago and it felt bad spending that much money.

Uh, OP? That's not true though??

>>382103930
then why did you order it?

>>382104013
Because I want one.

>>382103884
Nintendo is a master of creating a fake demand by intentionally not supplying enough consoles on launch.

>>382103884
artificial scarcity is a thing.

>>382104071
then why do you feel bad about spending the money?

>>382103930

Where did you order from?

Explain amiibos and the NES/SNES classic, then

Master degree in shilling here

Making too much of a product is risky because If people don't buy enough, the stores will be full of it, this gives consumers a sense of "that product failed, don't buy it" which is what happened to the wii u, it's a bad image.

On the other hand, scarcity gives consumers the feeling that a product is successful and it also creates a competitive drive to find that product that only a select few have, which increases people's desire to buy it even more, it spreads like a disease.

>>382104314
to the media, perception is everything. If you're a massive company with the perception that your latest product is the new hot ticket item that is sold out everywhere then people will believe that everyone must really love it, which will drive incentive towards people who buy it

>>382104381
Amiibos don't have a shortage on non limited edition ones anymore and was originally supply and demand issues

NES/SNES classic are limited run products as far as I know

But keep lying to yourself

>>382104460
>This is what the brainless consumerist actually believes

>>382104381
>NES/SNES classic
you mean the thing they stopped making because they couldn't keep up with demand?

>>382104501
No it's just the truth.

>>382104345
>Because it's a lot of money?
Any console is a lot of money. if it's something you want then don't feel bad about it. if you don't want it enough to not feel bad about it then don't buy it. it's not that hard of a decision

>>382104595
>No sources that show that
>ITS THE TRUTH JUST EXCEPT IT WAAAH WAAAH
Repeat after me

>>382104656
What are you talking about, anon? I've already bought it. Feeling hesitant or guilty about spending hundreds of dollars is normal, no matter how much you want the product.

>>382104595
just like how it's just the truth that I fucked your mom so hard last night that I'm your new dad.

>>382104663

>guy calmly explains how a marketing strategy works
>you respond with all-caps sperging and accuse him of being a shill

You really came across well here.

>>382104925
YOU still haven't explained anything

oh no,... nitnendo scammed me into playing video games AGAIN
how do they get away with this ,bros?

>>382104813
no the truth is he fucked his own mom so hard last night that he is now his own dad

console war threads are always so funny

watching you monkeys squabble over which of your peasant-boxes sucks less

>>382104967

I hope you're under 16

how's the steam sale treating you? is it true that buying PC games is more fun than actually playing them?

>>382105675
yeah, you got a problem with that, nerd?

>>382105794
no, no, not all, I mean, as long as you're okay with it, that's what matters, right?

>>382106113
damn straight

>>382103930
I went into target and bought 2 a couple of days ago. I can't wait for co-op MHXX goodness

>>382104460
Except in this day and age. Back in the 90s and maybe even early 00s that would've work. But with the way social media and news sites work, there's way too many people that was unhappy with the Switch launch for them to successful make that tactic work. Way too many people shitting on their console to believe HURR DURR IT'S SOLD OUT PEOPLE LOVE IT, when the first month were non-stop videos of people's Switches shitting themselves kek

>>382105017
underrated post

>>382106546
My copy comes with Breath of the Wild, which I'm looking forward to. I haven't had a Nintendo console since the 64 and any console since the 360.
