Don't they force attach by only selling bundles?

That's funny because I don't know anyone who has even stepped foot in a Gamestop in years

>>388182660
It also includes online sales.

Won't change the fact that I won't buy it until they come out with the super switch.

>>388182968
nintendo doesn't do enhanced console version, only handhelds

>>388183732
Isn't the switch kinda a handheld. Also I recall there being a 32gb version of the wii-u as apposed to the 8gb that it originally launched with.

>>388183901
8GB and 32GB Wii U were both available from launch. There was never any revision.

>>388184013

>>388180589
yeah if you've ever been in a gamestop, you know this story is bull.
stores are only getting a handful of switches monthly.
its easy to say a console is selling great when your goal is 7.

Those numbers don't count. My feelings do.

I feel Nintendo is and has always been the best and nothing wil change that.

>>388184273
The only reason I bought one now was because I wanted in on the online games before things possibly declined and/or before the paid online service started. Otherwise I would've waited like I did with the WiiU. If there's nothing you absolutely want to play now, there's really no reason to get one. The longer you wait, the more games come out, the more prices drop, and the more patches and new production lines come out to fix any software or hardware problems.

Literally no one but you care.

Oh fuck off. No one is comparing the two except Sony shilling faggots. You buy Nintendo hardware for Nintendo games or you're stupid.

Saying "Sony sold more PS4 consoles this year than Nintendo sold switches" is no more relevant in this context than the number of mario games sold on the PSN.

A fucking thread which is purely about how well the switch is doing doesn't need faggots jumping in with irrelevant garbage. Just fuck off.

I doubt GameStop would shoot themselves in the foot badmouthing Nintendo or their performance, or expect to be shafted from various exclusives in the future from Nintendo.

You also don't see Amazon trying to suck Sony or Microsoft's dick since they're the king of the hill; probably the same reason you don't see Amazon doing this same thing for Nintendo.

PR shitpost thread, move on.

>>388188276
Nintendo is outdated, they don't have enough third party support other then shovelware companies and Sega. Not to mention the third party teams that do work with Nintendo are often treated like shit because of their outdated belief that all of their games should be family friendly.

Meanwhile Gabe and Sony have lots of Third party companies flocking to them. Plus most of GenZ are either PS4/Xbox Players or Steam users.

>Sony sales threads die down a bit over the years

>>388188451

>>388188451

>>388188662
sounds like you're the one who is insecure

>>388188451

You forget Nintendo's advantage with its broad range of first party titles. Nintendo don't give the impression that they're ever out to beat the other two just keep a tidy profit to keep on going. You can't debt the switch is surprising.

>Switch launches and proves to be a big success

the fuck are you talking about, its been what? 5-6 months and its only at 6 million sales? thats literally the same rate as the xbox one in the same timeframe. its all just PR bullshit to make it sound like its selling like hotcakes. the Wii U had a shit ton of similar articles and look at it now

>>388187554
b-but sony!!

>>388189056
The Xbox wasn't supply constrained, retard

>>388189056

They aren't comparable though. Nintendo haven't been competing with the other two since the Wii. They do their own thing and see where it goes. people don't buy Nintendo games for multiplats - they're just an added bonus

>>388189056

not him, but the Wii had 3 versions, although the future versions were just cost effective and worse than the original
I hope Nintendo releases an add on that makes the dock provide power, but I doubt that will happen
either way I love my Switch

>>388189492
delete this

>>388180745

Yeah, GameStop loves their bundle bullshit. Honestly, Switch's attach rate would probably be pretty good even if they didn't pull this shit, though. For the Nintendo games, at least.

>>388189492
I don't see how that retroactively makes it any less of a success that it sold 5 million in 3 months. Not to mention the Switch was understocked.
Quit acting so desperate to shit on something.

>>388180589
shit will stop selling at 10m point mark

It will stop itself, they're already approaching saturation point. Will probably sell like 15m total.

The sales numbers so far show that it's selling more quickly than the Xbox One. It sold about as much in four months as the Xbox One did in five. There aren't any worldwide numbers showing how much it sold in 5 or 6 months yet, but regional numbers suggest that it's selling more quickly as time goes on, so the gap is getting bigger.

Maybe not to the same extent, but when both devices play traditional video games, especially a lot of Japanese games, then they're always going to be fucking competing to some extent. A company stating they are doing their own thing doesn't change that fact.There are limits to how many consoles and games a single person will buy.

>>388189919

You're the one taking a current trend, comparing it with a previous one, and assuming the same outcome. You haven't factored in awareness, advertising, and the showcasing of high demand franchises. I understand you desperately want Nintendo to fail for whatever reason but signs are good for the switch right now and since both Microsoft and Sony consistently fail to deliver on all sorts of claims those signs are brighter.

>>388189885
people bought switch not only for nintendo games, they seriously thought switch will get current gen multiplats, you could already see their tears in dbz and ace combat threads, so no, people dont buy switch just to play nintendo games, they had hopes, but not anymore

epic.

>>388190670
console war faggots cant into fact checking

>>388189919
If you want to look at actual data, here are the totals for the first two quarters from launch for all three:

Wii:
5.84 million (133 days) (43.9K per day)
Wii U:
3.45 million (134 days) (25.7K per day)
Switch:
4.70 million (120 days) (39.1K per day)

This proves that Wii U is one of the worst console blunders of all time then. They should have never bothered releasing such a console. Maybe just have made Wii HD edition instead. It would have sold about as well or maybe better than Wii U.

>>388190893
Actually, considering that Splatoon 2 wasn't a factor in the sales that Nintendo posted, it's fairly safe to say that the Switch sold 4.70 million in 90 days, not 120.

>>388191715

What a useful and informative post! Keep it up, champ!

>>388191715
The Wii U was literally Nintendo's Dreamcast, it's a miracle that they didn't go the same way Sega did.

>>388191776
Switch launched on March 3. Second quarter of sales ended on June 30. That's 120 days. About four months, from March to June. Splatoon 2 will be factored in the next quarterly release, counting to the end of September. 212 days total.

>>388189523
Wii Mini was only available in Canada tho.

>>388191891

The Wii U was still profitable just barely. Nintendo weren't selling the machine at a loss like the other two. This doesn't make it successful by any means but it didn't cripple them.

Nintendo actually was selling Wii U at a loss. They were losing money for a few years after launch, but made it back in the next few years.

>>388192404
Didn't it take the PS4 like, what, 10 million units just to finally make a profit? I think if their gaming division died that'd be it for them, I don't think Sony can take anymore blows.

If the switch is an entertainment center set up and forget system then so are tablets.

>>388192626
The Switch is a home console that can SWITCH to a handheld.

>>388192626
It's technically a home console but with the capabilities to be a handheld. As to what exactly changes when it's docked though, I'm not really sure I understand. At first it just seems like it's a power supply, but then some games run better when docked. It's confusing.

If TV out makes something a console then so was the PSP.

>>388193159
I wonder what they are going to do in the near future when ps4 sales blow past the 3ds?

It took 5 years and 5 months for the 3ds to do that, and it took the ps4 3 years 7 months to do it, and the sales momentum gives them a real solid chance they pass 70 million by december/early january.

>>388193585
woops forgot to say the "that" was sell 60 million plus.

>>388193159
Of course the Switch will outsell the PS4. The PS4 couldn't even outsell the 3DS. Switch will sell 20-30 million in Japan alone.

>>388193585

That would need to be a serious continuing upward trend for a console that's been out four years. Anything is possible if you wait long enough, I suppose.

>>388193763
Switch can't outsell PS4 even in Japan, how is it supposed to happen?

>>388193810
PS4 sales have been very consistent for this whole year and most of last year at moving about 10 million units per six months.

The only way it doesn't pass the 3ds very soon is if ps4 sales just completely collapse, or the 3ds starts selling several times better overnite.

The lack of decent storage on options forcing people to buy physical copies of games is probably why Gamestop is seeing such a good attach rate.

>>388193961
They are counting accessories in attach rate and bundling systems with shit as the only real means of getting them most the time.

>>388193907

Shouldn't be too hard to produce the data then. In your own time.

>>388193585
Effectively the ps4 is selling 33% faster than the 3ds did.

The only people who don't think it's going to outsell the 3ds are people who either can't do math or just don't like what the math says.

Sure.

3ds sales passed 60 million by June 2016
http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/06/10/nintendo-3ds-sales-pass-60-million-units-worldwide

Which puts them at actually about 5.4 years to sell 60 million units.

PS4 hit 60 million sell through by June 2017
http://www.businessinsider.com/sony-announces-ps4-60-million-consoles-sold-2017-6

Meaning they reatched that milestone in 3 years 7 months.

The ps4 passed 50 million in december 2016

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4-sales-pass-50-million-units-worldwide/1100-6446051/

six months prior to that.

PS4 sales passed 40 million at the end of may 2016 just a hair over six months prior to that.

https://www.vg247.com/2016/05/26/playstation-4-console-sales-pass-40-million/

And 30 million in November 2015

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/11/ps4-sales-officially-pass-30-million/

Which actually indicates an increase in sales momentum as of the last year.

No it is not. It is very evident that neither of you have any experience with computer hardware. Look at the SoC of the switch( As if those 3 letters don't give it away), look at it's chassis, it's power supply, the fact that it has a battery, the fact that it has a screen I can go on and on.

But let me make it even simpler. The switch is more mobile than a laptop and laptops are clearly not entertainment center set up and forget systems like a home computer(desktop) or consoles.

I understand marketing preys on the ignorant but please look into shit before you make yourselves look like flinging retards again.
