Console war shitposting What else did you think it could be for?

It'll also set record returns numbers after people realize there's nothing to play until november.
Julian Young
good
hopefully they will release a non-shitty version in 3 years

Call me when it sells 1 million units at launch like the PS4 did. Oh wait, it didn't even come close. Nvm.

Why can't Sonybros let us be?

She won the popular vote Maybe, but the switch won't hit the 25 million mark
Christian Reed
So I'd imagine Zelda's sales are also impressive
Lincoln Lewis

Probably buy them for $100 less too.

so you're telling me they sold these suckers a handheld and tried to pass it off as a home console
Isaac Hughes
This only shows how shitty the system is, one vote should= one vote no matter what
Eli Hernandez
pokemon's insane It's games individually have spots in the top 10 3ds sales
So not pokemone black/white in the top 10, but pokemon black AND pokemon white each having a spot (I don't know about that particular duo, might be B/W2 and Sun/Moon)
Matthew Watson
>That padding Jesus. You're not helping your case.
>Generic 'console is selling well' spiel >If the current demand for the Nintendo Switch continues, there shouldn’t be any trouble for Nintendo reaching its expected two million console sales in the first month.
Neat.
Jacob Murphy
no, as in total votes counted across the US, you dumb shit.
Hunter Cooper
good thing my illeagal mexicans and blacks always vote democrat in california and new york with our huge population. Fuck the rest of the country. dumb racists only caring about america
Mason Scott
>Libcucks want California/New York to dictate how the rest of the united states should believe in
Jordan Garcia
Makes you wonder why they'd be hyping it up, it's almost as if they want people to buy all this stock they wasted their money on.
Ayden Torres
Then you might as well remove the elections entirely because the highest population centers always vote Democrat.
Carson White
You're a fucking autist.
Dylan Myers
>game cartridges taste horrible Why is this a negative?
Landon Foster
There are people that do that. Sadly.
Ethan Campbell
But how much did it sell? Because if it didn't do 1M PS4's sales in 24 hours, then I'm not impressed.
Michael Martin
Well if most people decided to live there? Every other democracy (and democratic republic before you get smart with me) does it this way.
James Phillips
Thus why the electoral college comes into play here. IT gives smaller states like idaho, wyoming, etc a voice instead of having california and new york decide everything.
William Kelly
>one vote should= one vote That's uncommon even in Europe.
Gavin Williams
lets be realistic here
how is the switch supposed to survive with no games other than zelda?
a ps4 costs less for example.
Leo Gonzalez
>Everyone loves all the fanservice
Why do people call it this shit? It's straight up softcore porn/smut. "Fanservice" is the second most retarded term ever created after "cosplay."
Eli Murphy
It obviously didn't, if it had Nintendo would have been rushing to get those numbers out. Especially after the WiiU, this piece of shit is DOA even with all the awful shilling it's getting by e-celebs.
David Young
>day 1
Didn't the Wiiu also outsell the PS4 and Xbone day one?
Camden Rogers
Doesn't those other democracy or democratic republic have voter ids to prove you are a citizen of the country so you can vote without worrying about fraud votes?
Jaxon Ross
>A million Mexicans living in one house in California all voted for free money, no-fly zones, and TPP. Whoopdie-doo, Basil.

But how many returns will there be? There seems to actually be issues with a significant portion.
Grayson Flores

Adrian Reyes
Mario Kart 8 is launching next month.
Isaac Clark
People keep ignoring these simple facts: Normalfags buy consoles Normalfags only care about multiplay trash
The Switch has NO third party support, it could have been the worlds first automated blowjob console, if retards can't play call of duty and sports titles they just don't care.
Christian Hall
"voting discrimination" is common all around the world, only a handful countries (the Netherlands and some more) has a 1 vote=1 vote system
Dominic Thompson
Yes they do. I really don't understand why the US won't adopt them.
Ryder Moore
the switch wont last without third party support.
I seriously think this will be another wiiU. the hardware has too many issues. why does FPS go DOWN when docked, even?
Jonathan Collins
Stop shitposting, faggot
Hunter Ortiz
The best selling game on WiiU, as in everyone who wanted it already owns it.
Camden Gutierrez
you don't get it
>nintendo is fun! i'm in my early 30s and working full time and need a gaming system that is fun and not mean to me! also the nostalgia! woohooo
these people are buying the switch fully well knowing it has no games because they long stopped playing games and have not a huge interest in it anymore.
switch is for casuals and children
Asher Edwards
They actually do though. They also for the most part don't know what a federal government is or know that each state has its own government.
Ayden Bennett
>she won the popular vote
She won a bunch of illegals in California. That's it. The bitch got wrecked.
Wyatt Myers
Learn what fanservice means, retard. All the nostalgia pandering in pokemon is nothing but fanservice.
Owen Richardson
If the most important country ever isn't important which one is?
Christopher Phillips
Fanservice refers to smut you stupid cunt, not pandering to nostalgiafags.
Daniel Moore
you don't like to chew on your toys?
Jose Carter
Because the resolution is higher you dimwit
Jonathan Sanchez
>getting mad when nintendobabbies get btfo
Gee I wonder who is behind this post.
Joshua Martin
Gamestop and Nintendo will be bankrupt within the next ten years, probably less.
Sebastian Johnson
I think that will happen under trump's administration since he is deporting all the illegals back to their country. Once he is done with that he can a set up a voter id system.
Cameron Harris
Wrong as fuck. Mario Kart Wii sold 36 million units. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will sell a fuckton from all the people that never got a Wii U alone. Not to mention probably at least a few million more people more will buy it again just for the battle mode and the new characters alone.
Thomas Thompson
>Fanservice refers to smut
Good lord how can anybody be this stupid.
Connor Cox
Your tiny-handed cheeto-faced Russian stooge feeds you with with lies and you believe them without question. SAD!
Camden Reed
Stick to real criticisms instead of padding your argument out with shitty nitpicks, you just look like you're grasping at straws (which you are).
Ian Brown
The WiiU was aimed at the same audience, it's portability will only help it sell like I'd guess... 5-6Mil more than the WiiU in the long run, especially considering it's lacking feature set compared to other handheld consoles and devices.
Ethan Brooks
>dock allows for higher output
>performance goes down
this makes no sense
Jayden Perry

if it was up to liberals california would be the only thing in america, hence why they want to make their own country

Gee it's almost like Nintendo is trying to create hype or something
Samuel Moore
Resolution 56% higher, clock speed only 2,6% higher
It doesn't have the power for 900p
Jacob Hughes
>It gives land a voice instead of having the population decide everything. FTFY
Jaxon Martinez
>She won the popular vote Not what they were competing for, wtf Hillary staffer this is why you guys lost the blue wall.
Kayden Adams
The term fan service is most commonly used when referring to smut, at least in Japan. If you go to Sup Forums or /jp/ and ask them what 'fan service' is they'll tell you the same.
Maybe you're not familiar with it's colloquial meaning.
Noah Scott
STOP IT STOP BUYING THE FUCKING SWITCH
Connor Davis
>tell you the same
Maybe, but they consider smut to be good, so basically not smut.
Thomas Jenkins
>nobody bought a Wii U, so when people saw that the next mainline zelda game that actually looked promising was going to have a port on the Switch people went for it
this is literally it user
however if you were one of the Unfortunate fucks who actually owns a wii U like myself, you have no reason to buy the game on the switch as you have a console that runs it at a debatebly equal prowess
if you do you are essentially paying an extra 500 Dollarydoos for it to be portable
Alexander Miller
I'm not a Nintenbro but a lot of those "facts" are total BS
>Defective on launch, you are fucked if you got bad luck Like every other console ever. Remmeber the RRoD and the Wobble Wobble? >Joycons extremely fragile and with range problems I don't like them either. Better fix this. >Can't put stickers on joycons, you can on the ps4 and xbone controllers Stickers are Ok. Vinils are an issue. >No browser They dropped the ball hard there. Hope they fix it. >No voice chat without smartphone According to Nintendo, it's because the Switch is a social console... yeah, right. >No VR Never ever. >Pro Controller extremely expensive Agreed. >Can't play while charging Notch did exactly that on his Twitter photos, what are you talking about? >Stand is extremely faulty, it falls all the time, even worse when plane takes a turn Everything will fall inside a pane if it takes a turn, did you even fly? >No worth exclusives Plenty, actually.
Cont.
Levi Murphy
The Wii U was aimed at nobody.
Ryder Peterson
Fan service refers to anything that is added solely to please the fans. In animu circles that's panty shots. In games it's nods and references to past games.
A wolverine comic featuring a cameo from deadpool is fan service.
Parker Collins
why the fuck wouldnt they make a dock that allows more output
isnt that the whole point of the big toaster dock
Isaac Stewart
Make me. I'll even post my address so you can make me.
