Wii U was a massive failure

>Wii U was a massive failure

How do you fuck up a release THIS badly?

nothing wrong with that. they can't make 20 million consoles available at launch. just wait a bit and you'll get yours. if you want one, you'll buy it.

>literally sells like hotcakes
>Sup Forums cannot shut up about how much of a blunder it is

What did he mean by this?

Its just bad business, the release is their best chance to move consoles aside from the holidays

by fucking June people will have just forgotten about it or lost interest because the hype is long gone

>by fucking June people will have just forgotten about it or lost interest because the hype is long gone
not at all

why didn't you preorder bro? ths happens every single time

>preordering
>paying money for nothing months in advance

preordering is a cancer to gaming and people should stop doing it

>sold out
What a failure!

>no sold out
What a failure!

Fucking console war bullshit, why aren't people getting banned for this?

There are switches for sale. Leave the crowded cities and go to smaller towns where people dont care.

So I ended up ordering a Switch from Amazon Spain, since they had preorders open, and it costs roughly the same as a US model. All I should need is a plug adapter right? I tried to order another AC adapter, but fucking Nintendo wants like 40 bucks for a new one. Fucking rice kikes.

Does anyone with a switch know if it's dual voltage?

No there arent, I have called all the little shit towns within a 2 hour radius of me and they are sold out or never got any to begin with

>preordering
>paying money

what? let me guess, you live in murrika, right?

i don't know where you shop your shit, but amazon took my money only when they shipped

i had six weeks to change my mind with no money paid

this place is the biggest shithole on the internet. you can't discuss anything.

Gee user why do you want a defective product so much? Maybe next batch will have less dead pixels this time around :^)

Who cares.

Just let moms buy their children PS4's instead of not-in-stock Switches.

How is it not a failure on Nintendos part that they severely understock everything and shit on their consumer base constantly

It's good business actually. And it's not a conspiracy:

It's the shit posting mentality that if they were readily available, then people would say it's a failure because they're not sold out.

>Only send 2-3 units to each store
>So they sell out because there are next to none available
>Can claim its sold out all the time so it must be a success

If I sold 1 toaster and then claimed it is sold out that must mean everyone loves my toasters right?

I-Im still available, user/

Nintendo tends to overdo it a bit much, but this is basically standard practice for luxury/entertainment products that don't have reliable market data (for example "we sold a shitload of iPhone 5's, so we can sell a shitload of the next version", or alternatively why toys that turn out to be popular during holidays are always constantly sold out). You don't know if what you're making is going to keep flying off shelves or slow down in demand after the die-hard fans grab theirs, so you do some relatively small runs of the product and see how it goes.

This is why the Wii U flopping hard didn't hurt nintendo as much as it could have. If it turns out that people love your shit and they can't get enough you may lose some sales but you can always bump up production to meet the demand, but having thousands of unsold units taking up shelf and warehouse space is about as close to burning money as you can get without literally doing it. They could almost definitely get away with being a bit more confident with their production runs, but they're probably even more skittish after the Wii U.

Wow, who would have expected Nintendo to not make enough of something?

Switch will have the same issue as the Wii. Lots of console sales, very little game sales.

But not only did it sell out, Nintendo is saying it's thier most successful launch in America and Europe.

It's clear they didn't keep supply low
