DOA

That hentai game is shit.

Can't read that shit without turning off adblock. Post it in a pastebin or something.
Anyway, they're pretty ok numbers, though I agree, Pokemon + Japan actually giving a shit about it means it'll most likely surpass that number with ease.

Anyone who isn't a contrariam memester is expecting it to do between N64 and 3DS numbers, so no surprise there

If they announce Pokemon and Animal Crossing, yeah.

>Pokemon + Japan actually giving a shit

You seem to forget that Pokemon is also big worldwide.

Its coming to the switch eventually. Mabye even this year.
>"No doubt Nintendo Switch is the future, but we will have to wait for it to come out to the market and study in what way can Pokemon benefit from it. When people get it, we will have to analyze how people use it and then think about how to develop future Pokemon titles and how to take advantage of the new console"
>nintendoeverything.com/game-freak-talks-pokemon-alola-forms-and-potential-return-series-future-more/

Sounds pretty reasonable, I always said it would probably sell between the N64 and SNES

No, I'm saying that there's Pokemon, of course, but there's also the fact that Japan likes the thing. Remember they haven't been buying too many PS4s nor 3DS so far, so they buying the Switch means more new games, which in turns means even more sales.

If they were going to launch Pokemon on this piece of shit, they would've announced it.

You really don't know how Pokémon anunciaments work, right? Coro Coro has an exclusivity deal with The Pokémon Company. They always anunciate Pokémon games first.
Nintendo couldn't anunciate Pokémon at the Press Release or at E3 even if they wanted to.

>showing all your cards right away in a single already bloated conference
Please never run any company.

Switch is a Nintendo console/handheld, so Pokemon will arrive on it. When is the question.

Fuck off underage piece of shit

Sales mean absolutely nothing to me. Been waiting on the Ps4 to get a decent game or two, and it's already at 60 mil.

That's because the wrong people bought a PS4, not actual gamers, but dudebros.

I predict 25 million in sales.
There, I'm pretty much as legitimate as Forbes.

30-50M sounds right to me if they bring stuff like Pokémon and Monster Hunter to it or it keeps third party support. Otherwise, I expect 25M sales maximum.

They can guarantee it will sell like nuts if they just put MH and Pokemon on it. Heck, I'm surprised they didn't announce a MHXX HD Edition for it (Wii U got MH3U HD after all). Fire Emblem also sells quite nicely in Japan, so they can reel in the sales if they cram the coming game with as many waifus as possible.

Sounds accurate.

I'd say it's lucky if it gets to 20m in 3 years.

Meanwhile Sony is going to break the 100 million mark and Xbro's will be at 70 million mark right behind us and we'll have more and more games.

Except they sold a ton less PS4 in 2016 compared to the previous year, even though they were selling 2 whole new models and that VR bullshit. The PS4 is dead in the water.

I don't think it's going to sell more than 3ds unless they get price drop the console AND move the games down to 3ds' $40 price point.

I'm going to guess 30 million lifetime sales.

>The PS4 is dead in the water.

>PS4 is dead in the water
>literally the fastest selling console ever
Classic Nintendogaf.

OP, you can make more desperate threads promoting the Switch but still, no confirmed third party titles so I'm still not buying one early. Analyst are not gonna convince me enough to scam me a $350 hardware that will become a dust collector later on. They're like theorist, making bad guess just to predict things like Hillary winning the election to reel in views to promote ads and stuff.

If Nintendo wants to convince me to buy one this year, I wanna see a "confirmed" port of Gundam Extreme VS, GTA, Overwatch, World of Tanks, DMC, Nier Automata, any series of Ace Combat or at least a strategy game(Total War, Starcraft, MOBA) right away than a lackluster presentation they did recently.

Its all on Nintendo now if they wanna pull in the consumers like me that they lost after the Philips debacle that birthed their biggest rival yet after Sega's demise, the Playstation

>Pokemon alone is going to sell 20+ million Switches

I'm one of those people that is not a fan of this, and sadly Nintendo made a big mistake of not showing a confirmed title for this year of that asset that could have helped the Switch promotion greatly

I'll see you both next year.

>PS4 sold 60 million units between late 2013 and early 2017
Kek,the Switch is pathetic. I mean only 40 million that's laughable.
Especially if you compare it do the DS, The 3DS, the Gameboy and the psp

Not that surprising, anyone who actually thinks the Switch is going to fail is a retard brain damaged by memes. It's not gonna beat the PS4 and it will probably have a rough start like the 3ds, but Nintendo has to much going for it to actually fail.

>no confirmed third party titles

You're seeing me right now, little man. Now bend over for daddy.

Gamefreak hates sharing the spotlight with others.

they arent going to undercut SM sales by announcing a new one this early

>Forbes

nope

gamerant.com/wii-u-lifetime-sales-projection/

>Wii U Sales Projected to Top Out at 25 Million Units

Reality

>Worldwide: 13.36 million

The Switch is dead on arrival

Fuck off, you slimy faggot.

25 is kinda close, though.

I'm just gonna screencap that quote. So when it tanks hard I'll just use it to shitpost.

delete this right now

Xboner has been on the market for 3 years now and it's only racked up over 20 million

It's dead on arrival, m8s.

>console offers basically zero improvement over the previous one and just adds an annoying tablet as a gimmick
>console gets bumfuck nothing for games unlike the previous console
>console is left to die by Nintendo instead of trying to support it
>Nintendo has to put out various ads to explain to people that the Wii U isn't a Wii, when all they had to do was pick a fucking normal name for it

I still don't understand what they were thinking.

We haven't seen the true upgrades yet.

Ever since the ds they have released Pokemon games about 2 years after the handheld is released.

If its replacing 3DS then sure it will sell 50m easy

>The Wii U sold less than the PS Vita

Gets me.... every time.

The japs love handhelds and they will buy switch in droves

Yeah if they'd announced monster hunter like a decent company I'd be buying the damned thing and so would even more Japanese weaboos

>Wii U Sold 13 million units in 5 years
>Thinks that the Switch will sell 3x that amount in a little over half the same time period

My God, this looks just like Wiiu threads 4 years ago. Hopefully someone is screencapping this shit. The Switch won't top 25 million consoles sold in its lifetime.

>Kinda close
It's HALF. How is that close?

If analysts predict 40 million, then in reality, Switch will sell 20 million, which is what I've been saying all this time. Better than WiiU, worse than GCN.

But switch will cannibalize the handheld market too

Remember Splatoon.

>the PS4 just sold like 3 million consoles during the holidays

>dead in the water

Ha.

Uh...no.

3ds sold 65m
Wii u sold 14m

So switch will sell 80m

With this first year line up?

not looking that was with nintendo having no plans to slow or stop development of 3DS titles or move them to the Switch anytime soon

will get a port if it's a success for sure.
Dem mouth camera, that touch tech.

so..... this is.... the power.... of nutendo......damn....

Y-you tell them

>Sony is going to break the 100 million mark
with what? The pro is a new system and starting E3 no new game will work on the "normal" 4 for obvious 4k push reasons.

De Javu alright

>already bloated
relegate 1,2switch to one minute
ditch ice cubes.
cut to the fucking chase, stop pussyfooting and acting coy. you're not cute.
there, unbloated.

From the same research group

Literally Hillary 98% chance to Win kind of thing

The Pro is a hobbyist thing.

All games will be primarily designed for the normal console and then slightly improved for the Pro.

You're retarded if you think this will be any different.

>Pro is a new system
Slight upgrade of their current system. And people are clearly buying the slim over the pro, because most people don't own 4k tv's.

Because they expected that shit to get the same profit as the Wii
In the same way, don't expect Switch to become a blunder like the WiiU

Huh yeah
3DS already made most of that work beating PS Vita, Switch will ate the leftovers and get the games a supposed Vita 2.0 would had
Of course, most of Sup Forumsermins will not understand that because MUH WEEB GAEMS

Why do people even make shit like this

What happened to the stick figure comics everyone used to make, why is it all fucking wojak shit

>Implying people actually pay for portashit
Meme sales user, real handheld sales are sub 50k.

Yeah the guy is a newfag bitch, am I rite fellow NintendoBRO?

What a fucking newfag why isn't he using stick figures like we used to do, eh fellow oldfag anonymous member?

Only us qualified NintendoBROs know what it is like to be real anonymous.

I am an analyst in a Research Firm™. Based on our advanced heuristics, common algorithmic studies and advanced chronological systematical mechanical back-end data analysis, The switch will only sell 2 million units in its lifetime.

EASILY

Well stick figures got tainted by Reddit, wojack and Pepe where on a similar path till /r9k/ peepee poopio'd them into staying Sup Forums exclusive.

No one with half a brain thinks the Switch is going to be a big seller.

Shouldnt be too long until Nintendo puts full focus onto Switch. I can see them reaching that number easily with the help of Pokemon. This thing is gonna sell through pretty easily in Japan.

nigger he is literally saying that first they want to see how switch is used, if 90% of the market keeps it docked you will never see a pokemon game on it and it will die like pii poo

where will Pokemon go? They have no choice.

>gamefreak is going to abandon the platform on which their best selling game since R/B was released on to make games for nintendo snitch
retard

>for the rest of their developmental life, gamefreak will continue to make Pokemon games solely for the 3DS
lad...

DOA

>People think MH is some huge system moving thing

You people are delusional, Pokemon yes, but MH? Niche title appealing to autists.

And 40m, hahaha in their wildest dreams maybe

This piece of shit will never ever sell one unit more than the Peeyou sold.

that's not what I said. They'll obviously keep developing for it well into the bitch's lifespan until sales significantly drop off for their 3ds games, like did they did with the gameboy and crystal and DS with B2/W2. Seeing a pattern here, kiddo?

>Why make DVD's when their are more VHS players
>Why make PS2 games when the there are more PS1's
>Why make PS3 games when there are more ps2's
At a certain point you gotta move on or get forgotten.

Smartphones

at which point they'll move onto Switch. I dont see where he was wrong in just saying this.
3DS support is gonna drop off sharply after this year, Nintendo is gonna move on, GameFreak will follow.

>Crystal, black 2, and white 2
Those where both modified releases using assets from the original version. It would be too expensive to port them over the newer system and would reflect poorly on the new device.
>Kiddo
Signature of the underaged.

>anunciate

>I am clinically retarded
MH is HUGE in japan, take one glance of its sales and apologise for your dumbass comment

DELETE THIS

Japan is a meme and does not count.

Not as big as during the PSP days

that's because people with half a brain are mentally retarded or suffered a serious injury

>implying Nintendo will stock the system well enough for 40 million sales to even be possible.

Sounds about right, just wait till a HD pokemon comes Out this thing will fly off the shelves

>Pokemon alone is going to sell 20+ million Switches
Funny when the latest game on 3DS after Pokemon GO only sold 4.5 million in the US, about 8-9 million worldwide.

>Implying that supply chain will be constrained later on

Only the initial launch would see shortages, once the intial high spike drops you will see a more steady buy rate that nintendo can easily produce for

>top four million fastest games in nintendos history to do so
