So this thing was a failure, right?
>>384504403
Nah
>>384504403
No, but Arms yes it was
>>384504403
Not really. It'll most likely do moderately well, and bring Nintendo back into the big leagues.
>>384504403
Average performance I'd say by end of lifecycle.
Probably sub-50m lifetime units with a handful of good exclusives.
The design is a huge failure though. Good concept with unbelievable shortcomings that are completely out of place on a console made in the last two generations (voice chat, tiny hard drive, charge port on bottom, etc).

Hi there barney
>>384504403
Sure, if you're ignoring the success it found.
>>384505394
What about what this anon said
>>384505045
Isn't the design a failure?

No. Now stop making these threads, your old one is still up here. >>384499136

why are you so wrong ? And also assblasted
>>384504403
It was worth it because Nintendo fanboys finally opened their eyes.
>>384504403
Too soon to tell.
A lot can happen in a year or two. Call back when it sells more than the GameCube.

>>384505897
Lmao if it didn't sell like hotcakes within the first month it's pretty safe to call it a failure. This piece of junk was dead on arrival. Member the PS2? Member the Wii (even though people quickly realized it was gimmicky bs)?
>>384506150
I feel like the "you're an autist" argument loses its merit on a board like /v/
>>384504620
>and bring Nintendo back into the big leagues.
Whaaaa........?
>>384506339
Switch did sell like hotcakes, though. It's still selling like hotcakes.
>>384506507
You can't tell me Nintendo hasn't been doing strong since the Wii, because they haven't.
>>384506540
Being sold out because of incredibly low supply is not the same as "selling like hotcakes"
PS4 is consistently beating it and that's a 4 year old console.
I got one today for Splatoon 2

you're deluded if you think nintendo is ever going to hop back into the hardware race
wii put them in a niche they're comfortable in and they earn enough money to keep going
if they ever tried to directly compete with sony and microsoft, their kiddy ass image they won the market with back in the nes times would fuck them in the face and put them in the "no """mature gamers"""" buy the system because no 3rd party games because no """mature gamers""" buy the system" cycle

>>384506776
It's almost as if there aren't enough Switch's in stock
we'll see
I think there are enough normies and nintendo brand loyalists to turn a profit . no matter what it's still a dust collector though. the question is while it's more successful than wiiu by the end of its lifetime will it be half as good?
>>384507163
But the Switch doesn't need to sellas much as the PS4 to be successful, and Nintendo has been very satisfied with the sales so far.
You need to chill with the console wars.
>>384504403
The only thing it seems to be failing to do right now is failing to supply the demand for it fully thanks to competition from apple and samsung for microchips.
This might actually be working out in Nintendo's favour though. The console still shows up as "SOLD OUT" a lot, so the non-early adopters see it as being popular while at the same time not being able to buy it and realise it has only one game. And now that the console has been out for a little bit Nintendo are starting to build up the library so that when stocks do come back and the non diehard people start to pick it up they will find themselves to have a console with games and so they'll get a much better impression than with the Wii U.
>>384507380
What will be the excuse when they can't make enough plastic boxes with a 1 1/2 foot controller lead and a snes emulator inside?
Any Germans here?
I'm from a shitty ex-commie European country and Switch here costs ~400 euros. I could order it from German Amazon for ~330 euros but I don't speak German. Will I be able to configure the console so it's in English or will I be stuck with German language?
>>384507358
I'm sorry Anon, I didn't know you had a learning disability. What part of, "it's out of stock everywhere and Nintendo cannot keep up with the demand" do you not understand? It sells out the second it's available and regularly sells for 30% over MSRP online.
I'm not the anon you're even arguing with originally.
>>384506424
It's not an argument, I'm asking why you're so autistic.
>>384507592
"Limited Edition"
>>384507683
Wouldn't an autistic person be good with numbers though?
>>384507593
If it's popular it must be good!
Unless it's a Nintendo product.
>>384507683
I'm not that guy
I'm the guy that responds to other guys who do nothing but post search results about how often a particular word or file name has been posted
I mean, I've seen you in basically every thread. If anyone has autism, it's you
>>384507592
Probably some shit about limited edition. I can't imagine the SNES mini will need to compete for the top-tier silicon chipsets given that you could achieve the same thing with an arduino or raspberry pi with one of those USB SNES controllers.
>>384507842

It's almost as stupid as thinking every Nintendo game gets a "Nintendo bonus" to their review scores.
>>384507646
except it sells less and less with every month, nintendo has shortages but steady shortages, why is it selling worse over time?
I saw two neon ones in a target but I don't have the money to buy one.
>>384504403
I won't be getting a Switch until several years from now when the price is lower and there are more games.
Should I get Breath of the Wild for Wii U now or wait until I get a Switch?
>>384507842

I have come to the conclusion that you are retarded if you don't understand how sales work.
If there are only 150k Switch's in circulation then it can't sell 200k, but if literally every one of those 150k Switch's are sold upon availability then yes, you idiot, it's selling like hotcakes.
Now every post you make after this I will laugh at your disability
>>384509045
>Out of stock almost everywhere since launch.
>Nintendo can't keep with demand.

>If there are only 150k Switch's in circulation then it can't sell 200k, but if literally every one of those 150k Switch's are sold upon availability then yes, you idiot, it's selling like hotcakes.
And then burden of you is to prove that there are only 150,000 switches globally each week.
Until then, all I see are <150,000 sales to the PS4s >300,000 sales.
>>384508832
Your frustration and petty insults only prove your own frustration with your inability to provide an argument.
Selling like Hotcakes =/= <150,000 sales
It really is a basic concept

>>384504403
It'll get a moderate sales boost during the holiday season, but a year from now sales will have fallen off of a cliff. There's a decent chance it will outsell the Wii U, but overall it will still be a flop.
>>384509594
I don't know, why are you butthurt?

Fact from the Article - Switch is getting BTFO by the PS4
Opinion from the Article - "This is likely not due to dwindling interest"
>>384510986
Switch doesn't even need saving
>nobody except me can type "switch shortage" and find 144,000 article in the news section about it.
Would be funny if it wasn't sad.
>>384510986
>>CHRISTMAS WILL SAVE THE SWITCH
The switch doesn't need saved faggot. It's been sold out since launch. The only question is whether Nintendo will be able to have enough for the Christmas surge.
The Wii wasn't readily available on store shelves until 2 (TWO) years after launch.
>>384510216
Uh oh it's a flop even though it beat the Wii U and is barely going to beat the Wii
rip
>>384511084
define "BTFO"
>>384505523
That anon said the switch was a success but one of its games wasn't a success. How fucking light is the term 'assblasted' these days?
>>384507195
And for that line, only 200
Switches will be sold. Nintendo got scared as fuck because of the Wii U, now it's biting them in the ass because the Switch is actually popular.
Though I think it's hilarious that the Switch is having these hardware problems, you all got to remember that Nintendo is not in the same market space as Sony and MS anymore. They haven't been since the Wii. The only competition they may be in is getting third parties to flock to their system so they can get more Switch adapters. However, you can tell after last year's E3, a lot of those devs have went quiet on supporting the Switch, most likely waiting to see how successful it is. And as you can tell, the Switch already has run into several problems, which explains why none of the devs have spoken up a word. Not to mention, Nintendo directly denying most people dev kits except to a select few.
Nintendo is playing the game of locking everyone out but themselves.
>>384510986
We seriously need to make a chalboard picture for the Nintendo (Kill)Switch
It has all the symptoms of the Wii U.

Why are you fighting about consoles anyway? Trying to justify your purchase? :^)

How can anyone twist a post like >>384509032 and still think he's smarter is beyond me.
I swear this has to be some sort of counter troll to make all Nintendo haters look like idiots as some sort of way to stifle any actual Switch discussion.
>>384511920
Because deluded sonyfans cannot handle another console being successful. They're literally children. It's fucking embarrassing.
>>384506678
put a screen protector on that thing asap
I would really like to know who at Nintendo thought it was an excellent idea to compete with Apple for parts on their new system. The amount of revenue they're losing right now because they can't even make enough of the fucking system must be borderlining on hilarious at this point.
>>384512505
It has one
>>384513254
>I would really like to know who at Nintendo thought it was an excellent idea to compete with Apple for parts on their new system
Don't really have much of a choice, dude
>>384512505
does it get scratched easily?
I literally never use the touchpad. Had my 3DS for years and there aren't any scratches on it, and that's with pretty excessive use
>>384513254
I was able find several no problem, move to a really city kiddo
>>384513254
Because this isnt an apple parts issue. Nintendo deliberately held back development for market safety. They do this everytime. It's not new. Muh part competition is only something driven up by shills. Apple and Nintendo have been buddy buddy for two years now. Who gave them good access to these parts in the first place. I'm sure you can work the clues out.
