>Nintendo should try fight a bidding war with Apple's new flagship product so this random retailer doesn't have a disappointing year
Switch isn't even four months old, how the hell did they function before its release?
>>382310524
Inb4 Sony!!!
Looking forward to the day Game finally dies for good.
>it's other peoples fault my company can't profit because people aren't buying merchandise off the shelves
oh boo hoo, you ordered too much fish and nobody is buying.
>>382310524
I'm dumb, what does this mean
>>382310524
soon the crash will come
>>382310886
what the fuck is Game
>>382310716
since when does apple have a new flagship game console?
>See people argue Nintendo has enough money in the bank to weather a dozen console failures
>Can't even scrounge the cash to make enough of their current one
>>382311392
those things that nobody on /v/ plays
>>382311431
nice one, just pretending eh?
>>382311431
Reading is difficult isn't it? Don't worry anon I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually.

British game retailer chain called GAME's profits are falling because PS4 and Xbox One demand has fallen, and consumers are demanding Switch consoles that they aren't getting enough stock of, so they're not selling many consoles.
>>382311431
switch uses cellphone hardware
>>382311521
what did he mean by this?
>>382311543
>Reading is difficult isn't it?
no, i read it alright
nobody could be so fucking retarded they think a game console would be competing with a new phone or tablet, so he must be referring to some fancy new apple game console
>>382311690
It's not the products that are competing, it's the supply chain for the components. There's a major industry-wide shortage of NAND flash memory, which is used for internal storage in the Switch as well as many other products, including Apple's mobile devices. With the supply limited as it is, Nintendo is severely limited on how quickly they can manufacture Switch consoles, so retailers aren't getting enough to meet customer demand.

>nobody could be so fucking retarded
even if you're trolling, this was pretty funny. good shit
>>382310524
Artificial scarcity doesn't make sense for a product like the Switch where they have high marginal sales from games and accessories.
>>382310524
>tfw Sony and Bone are killing gaming and when retailers beg Nintendo to save them, they say "No"
>>382310524
In terms of retarded video game companies that people still "have" to deal with cause of one or two franchises i dont think anyone is close to Nintendo and Squareenix both can fucking die for all i care at this point.
>>382310524
>Playstation 4 and Xbox One sales continuing to slowdown
I guess you can say it's GAME OVER for them.
>>382312826
This
Nintendo is dominating while Ps4 and Xbox flounder
>>382313164
It's not that strange for a console's sales to slow down after three years.
>>382313218
Is that why PS4 outsells Switch in every market despite being three years older?
>>382310524
>Still thinking the artificial scarcity meme is true
Come the fuck on.
>>382311093
Or too little in this case
>>382311392
Game is for eurofags what Gamestop is for amerifags
>>382313618
>Getting defensive over a pun
Time to grow up console warrior.
>>382313618
But that's false, and based on estimates from vgchartz. Meanwhile, actual retailers state that PS4 and Bone sales are diminishing and not making money while Switches are supply constrained, preventing retailers from recovering from deficit caused by the two other consoles.
Wasn't it over like 5 times now
>>382310524
didn't GAME died a few years back ?
>The artificial scarcity
nice meme you got there mister
didn't GAME nearly go bankrupt a few years ago
I appreciate their international shipping though
Maybe if they actually stocked video games instead of sub 20 games for each console and then 5 aisles of trashy game merch and dlc toys.
>>382310524
You're a fucking idiot if you actually believe the scarcity was intentional. Nintendo and Apple had a disagreement over parts needed in Switch production which led to the delay. It's Apple's fault for being kikes.
>>382310524
hey wait, game is the fuckers who ripped me off of 99 quid for an empty game case and accused me of shoplifting, fuck em dry m8, don't have any sympathy for these monkey shining cons
>>382313917
>But that's false,
Ok Reggie whatever you say.
>you will never have your job security rely on shitty Call of Duty games
>>382311521
"You're gonna extract him?"
