The problem with your post is you're implying people actually bought the Wii U

>"Sorry sir, It is all sold out due to artificial shortages"

>How much is this going to fuck them in the ass?


Remember TP on GC and Wii?

Just guess which version sold a shitton more units

The problem with your post is that you're illiterate

What does the acronym TP stand for user? I'm quite new to the scene

Twilight Princess :)

Yeah sucks for nintendo that so many people are going to buy a wii u + botw instead of a switch + botw
Oh wait, they arent.

No you don't get it. Someone walking in and getting disappointed that the switch is sold out isn't somebody that would own a wii u.

So.... Instead of getting the switch they would get the Wii U.

>So.... Instead of getting the switch they would get the Wii U.
lol no one is stupid enough to buy a dead console

>artificial shortages
I want to know the genuine belief to salty faggots ratio on this.

Toilet paper

Nintendo has stated that lower production runs are part of their corporate strategy.

>Remember TP on GC and Wii?
That's because one of them was a terrible port.

Uh, well in that scenario, it'd be a console sale anyway, so, probably not that bad

Which is why they wouldn't be buying a Switch.
Not too bright, are you?

>Best current console is dead
lol no

Nigga, people are still making games for the PS2

>Nigga, people are still making games for the PS2
Really?

Can you imagine the ass blastery if they cancelled the wii u edition?

I thought there were no new Wii U's left because Nintendo stopped producing them ages ago?

Assuming that the consoles that they did produce eventually did sell

Not no one, I just bought a Vita and it should arrive today.

wtf lmao besides persona what are you actually going to play on that

>going to a store to preorder

No one fucking does that anymore.

There's a huge difference in low volume runs and artificial shortages. Just because you CAN make more doesn't mean it's cost effective, when you get into consumer electronics you're dealing with a lot of vendors who deal with a lot of other people manufacturing things at varying rates.

Example you need chip x to make your product, three companies make chip x: Cheap, Mid, and Premium.

Cheap has a 10% failure rate, Mid a 3%, and Premium a 1%.

Cheap is 1/2c per unit, mid is 1c per unit but drops to 1/2c per unit with an exclusivity contract, premium is 1.5c per unit, and drops to 1c per unity with an exclusivity contract.

Expected demand is 8m units on release day. Cheap can get you 10m units by release, mid can put out 6.5m, and Premium can only get you 5m.

Do you meet demand? Hell no, you sign the contract with mid and roll them out when you can.

Nah, they stopped 3 years ago.

Hoping you can download PS1 games on it.
Also I have a PS4 so I might just use it to play that in bed, not much it planned.

Well TP GC was £40 in 2007 or a wii witch was £170 with TP, when it first released I presumed they would stick to GameCube form and bring us some first party classics but turned out it was just a casual machine with 4-5 first party games

The Vita has more games than the Switch will have in it's entire lifetime

>preordering
lmao, normal people will just go to store to see what are they getting before paying but they wont get anything because no stock

I would bet money that this is not going to be the case

TP came out on Wii first, you tremendous retard.

I would feel bad if you lost more money on top of what you're already wasting on the Switch, so I'll decline that bet.

>TP for Gamecube sells for loads on ebay

Friendly reminder to buy a Wii U copy of BotW for investment purposes

Time to repost.

Except that's not how shit works, nigger. As I pointed out in my first post, consoles are not a product you buy alone, you want games and shit with it; furthermore, no one gets fucking "Hyped" over shit selling out. And as I've also pointed out, they did in fact push out a lot of Switch units.

Understocking at best can cause consumers to lose interest and scalpers to rip some poor sods off. Again, businesses projects numbers and try and estimate because they generally do not want to overproduce. With NES classic, it was that they did not anticipate the popularity it had; they expected it to simply be something that mainly nostalgic people 30+ would buy. Fire Emblem beat the debut sales of its previous incarnations. Check total sales: vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Emblem

Almost like they didn't fucking expect the sales or something, aint it? Fucking hell.

When are you people going to stop being this goddamn stupid? There's no "Understocking for hype", that's just a meme, a shitty attempt at shitposting by spreading misinformation and you keep falling for it.

>due to artificial shortages
retard

The Wii U version looks way shittier than the Switch one.

both look like shit compared to any other console

try not to shitpost on Sup Forums

try to have informed arguments

youtube.com/watch?v=NDy5_sDZUZg

who the fuck owns a Wii U?

and why would they want to buy a Switch?

I'm buying the Switch because it has better exclusives on the horizon than either of the other consoles. Honestly if it weren't for P5 and Nioh, I'd probably sell my PS4 because before those come out and after I'm done with them it's just collecting dust.

>buy inferior nintendo instead of real console because graphics dont matter

Well are you?

PS4 and Xbone aren't real consoles, they're really bad PCs.

im not stupid like nintendo fans, im not gonna pay additional $300 for 3 more fps

You're right that does sound like a bad idea, you desperately need to put that towards glasses.

Try reading the OP you stupid faggot.

oh yeah i forgot to mention additional color filters, totally worth it

>best current console
Because it's literally the only one?

they won't buy a wii U, silly

Are you the same guy as the first reply?

If not, why are there so many of you illiterates in this thread?

Is this the Nintendo fanbase?

Actually do whatever you want with the money, you're beyond help.

>that's just a meme
and yet this only happens with Nintendo, every time, for all of heir products.

i dont need help im not the one eating shit here

Why do your posts look like this?

It looks pretty dumb.

Maybe you're bad at haiku?

all the commenters saying they'll get the wii u version because they aren't sure of the switch

switch is going to flop

This. Why does BotW look like Vanilla WoW?

Meh....Idk, I'll just buy it for the Wii U that I was given, both games run at 30 fps (for some reason). No sense in buying a $300 plus other bullshit in order to play only one game I'm interested in at this moment in time...While all the other games literally come out half-end of the year.

Seriously book an appointment at your nearest optometrist.

>artificial shortages

You guys are artificially stupid

Wii released a week before the GC version you retarded tripfagging weeb why are you always so fucking stupid its always the same

you will seriously get sick from eating all that shit, go see your doctor before its too late

I never played world of warcraft.

>wiiu version looks better
*sweat*

It kind of looks like the wii u version has a brown filter.

probably because it looks to good for your nintendo taste

>YouTube comments
>actually reading YouTube comments

The gamecube didn't have an e-shop you retard, it'll never sell for more than retail price.

>literally the only game worth getting a siwtch for for months
>is not an exclusive

this is whats really gonna shoot them in the foot, even if you are a nintendrone there is fucking nothing else on the thing till middle/end of the year.
plenty of time to wait for a price drop or good bundle or something

this isnt even funny in an ironic fashion

It has been a long time since the Wii launch but without looking I am pretty sure it was a month or more before the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess.

I refuse to believe this. they look exactly the same except for a filter on the wii u side that mutes the colors and contrast.

either nintendo sabotaged this footage or the gamma settings aren't correct when they recorded.

I'm not the guy you were replying to, anonymous isn't a username.

Nah you're right tho. Vanilla WoW had better draw distance.

Looked it up and it was three weeks. November 18th versus December 11th.

>same resolution
>same amount of polygons per model
>same special effects like fire
>wii u has color filters
totally different game, pre ordering now

I'm onto you.

holy fuck nigger the textures and lod are clearly inferior on the wii u version, as well as the downgraded lighting and amount of objects on screen.

How would that bite them in the ass? They get the same revenue from both sales.

Which version eschews the shitty color filters and HDR from 2005 and adds in the iconic Zelda music?

I want that version.

You need to have respect for yourself.

they aren't. they have a brown orange muted tint to everything though.

I did straight up think this was a wow screenshot.

They are.

The Wii was the most hated console in the gaming community.

It was huge with casual non-gamers.

It is.

>Link has a tablet device

>WiiU version's tablet functionality that was awesome as fuck and apart of wind Waker and Twilight HD has been stripped out, the second screen does nothing.

This is treasonous sabotage.

If it wasn't for the color changes they made, these would look identical.

There's literally no reason to buy a Switch at all and like OP said if people walk into the shops to buy Zelda and can't buy a Switch due to artificial supply bullshittery by Nintendo people will just buy a cheaper Wii U.

To the casual market there's no huge difference. They won't care.

OP is 100% correct.

Look at the scene where Link runs out on that plateau and you see the mountains in the distance, way higher detail on the mountains. And the scene where the bokoblins are standing around, look at the bokoblins wrist wraps.
