Why the fuck did people even think a console with a new Zelda wouldn't sell like hot cakes?
I am happy to be honest. I am no fan of any console (I mostly play PC) but more competition, the better it is for consumers.
This. Nintendo has been the underdog for a while in terms of sales.
The last zeldas was shit
It does have no games, though. Unreleased games don't count.
I'm pro nintendo but
>skyrim
so many years later, this is not a selling point
Good for them mang. BOTW is fucking amazing
>The Wii launches with a Zelda
>The Switch launches with a Zelda
Hmmm...
>PC mustard race is cumming over the fact that they get to play it in a month
>Every single person with a decent PC will get to play it
>Is exposed enough for people to see is the game of the generation
You know, is true what they say, there always a positive side to thing, can't wait for mustard race to join us in our Zelda threads.
>can't wait for mustard race to join us in our Zelda threads.
Think about what that did to Souls threads, and reconsider your position.
>Twilight Princess was also on GameCube
>Breath of the Wild is also on Wii U
Hhhhhmmmmmmmm...
Looks great for an investor!
But shit for a customer, I don't want skyrim AGAIN, nobody does.
Double your expectations all you want nintendo, you greatly overestimated the wiiu too.
>implying most of the CuckEMUfags wont get bored after 30 minutes because there aren't enough pretty effects
Obviously Nintendo's success doesn't effect me at all, but I love seeing them succeed because of how butthurt it makes some people on here. You would think Nintendo fucked their mothers or something.
>PC mustard race is cumming over the fact that they get to play it in a month
CEMU masterrace here
Wiiu was a failure and the games are shit, also the only reason I'm excited for botw is because nothing gets me harder than stealing nintendo exclusives and making the switch valueless
Holy shit, maybe this is the recipe.
Game Cube was a failure too, so is literally the same situation back in 2006.
Actually I would like skyrim running on a device like the Switch personally. Sounds like the perfect way to play it ignoring LoversLab OBVIOUSLY
>ignoring LoversLab OBVIOUSLY
So ignoring the only good part of skyrim?
>Wii U emulator
>making the switch valueless
PCbros are so stupid it hurts.
Nintendo's expectations for the Wii U were based on the Wii brand which they assumed was more valuable than it was. Nintendo's expectations for the Switch are based on sales numbers, where it surpassed all their previous systems despite launching in March.
>>b-but NO GAMES
>>First party: Mario Oddysea, Xenoblade 2, Splatoon 2
>>Third party: DS Trilogy, Skyrim, Xenoverse 2
None of those are even out, and that third party support is pathetic.
>b-b-but ps4/xbone had a bad launch!
At least those consoles have the guarantee of third party support, switch has no guarantee, other than mario and zelda. And maybe barely even those games if it underperforms
>I speak for every PC user out there
This is why everybody thinks we are the autistics kids in the group user, you really can't tell how edgy and cringy you sound right now?
Please ignore this peasant, he does not speak for all of us.
> Nintendo's expectations for the Switch are based on sales numbers
No they're not, they're estimates, nobody can predict the sales curve, for all you know it's based off selling week 1 sales every week until christmas, also the switch is already selling like shit in japan.
>First party: Mario Oddysea, Xenoblade 2, Splatoon 2
>Third party: DS Trilogy, Skyrim, Xenoverse 2
Is this why I'm supposed to spend $400? Mario shit and 7 years old game?
You say they had a guarantee of good games but the PS4 did not have a single good game until Bloodborne released.
>None of those are even out
>At least those consoles have the guarantee of third party support
>unreleased games count for the consoles I like, but not the ones you like
>also the switch is already selling like shit in japan.
The Switch is sold out almost everywhere in Japan you stupid fuck.
>only worthwhile switch exclusive is a game that's going to be on pc in 2 months
Yeah, valueless, as in you wasted $360.
>None of those are even out
and yet is selling like hotcakes, imaging when Mario Oddysea is release this holidays, Nintendo will dominate completely.
>that third party support is pathetic
Speak for yourself, Zelda and Dark souls on the same console? portable? Sing me in, I take 10 holy shit.
yeah, that's what nintendildos use as excuse
How can you buy something that doesn't exist? You expect Nintendo to have 70k units in Japan and sell 250k? They're not magic.
I am gonna finish Zelda and set the console aside until more games come out. What's the problem?
>Dark souls
a what? are we talking about shitch right now?
>>unreleased games count for the consoles I like, but not the ones you like
Yes they do, because like I said, ps4/xbone are GUARANTEED to get multiplats, bar some huge industry crash, or an incredible migration to PC gaming or something.
Therefore they WILL GET THIRD PARTY GAMES. They WILL GET MULTIPLATS. GUARANTEED. It's okay to buy a PS4 for just bloodborne because you WILL get games eventually. No questions asked.
That isn't the case for nintendo consoles. As long as they keep hardware a generation behind they will lose out on multiplats, and you will have to deal with nothing but cheap budget games and 5 year old ports from third parties. And that didn't do the wii u any good
You have to jump inside the mind of a Sonybro. Think about how you can win in an internet argument in the moment, don't worry about consistency later. Exclusives and graphics matter when you're talking arguing against Nintendo because they can't compete, but then they magically don't matter when you're arguing against PC because now you're the one who can't compete.
Good for them I guess but I am still not clear on why the switch will have a lasting market share the next gen iPhone will be more powerful and home consoles already are can someone with a switch explain the appeal
youre the reason that Sup Forums and most of the world thinks PCbros are autists
It's amazing what advertising a system will do instead of quietly farting it out onto the market like the WiiU.
Nintendo is guaranteed first party, so why don't those count?
They didn't sold initial 2 million in the first week? That's fucking pitiful.
Seems like a waste when the next non-rerelease game doesn't even have a solid date yet.
Nintendo games are shitty
>with a new Zelda AND Pokemon.
Once pokemon is out, there won't be a war.
GG Pony and Micropenis.

PC + NINTENDO MASTER RACE IN FULL FORCE
It's a failure. Stop parroting fanboy sites.
All my friends say it's shit and Sup Forums hates it. Nintendo is generating hype through hype catch 22's.
>16 million by the end of this year
People have honestly forgotten the Wiiu already?
Iwata claimed the Wiiu would sell 10 million it's first year. Damn thing only sold 13 million total.
They didn't ship all 2 million in the first week, fuck talking to you is like talking to a brick wall. You have no idea how the world works at all. They don't put out their entire month's supply at once. They put out 1.5 million the first week and then drip the last 500k until they have more supply. They don't want to literally ship 0 Switches for 3-4 weeks.
Reminder you can pick up a Switch Tomorrow if you camp, Gamestop is resupplying.
THIS IS MOST LIKELY THE LAST EMBARGO TILL LATE APRIL WHEN MARIO KART 8 DELUXE IS OUT SO UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY SCALPERS CAMP.
technobuffalo.com
Damn, I know I sound like a shill, but I just reminded my friend on discord like 5min ago, so may as well leave this information out there.
It'll come out eventually. Time passes. In the meantime, I have computer games and other hobbies.
please, don't bandwagon my platform, nintendildo
thanks
No games until Mario Odyssey but I enjoyed playing Zelda on it.
>handhelds need multiplats to survive
maybe if you're the vita, which died a horrid death anyways. the problems of the wii u (it being horrible to develope for) do not exist on the switch's cartridge based games because they're cheap to dev for.
>it's okay to buy a ps4 for bloodborne and bloodborne alone because we have games coming down the line
>but it's not okay to buy a switch for zelda even though you have games down the line
oh i see i have been baited. Good job
They should have done it on a weekend. I can't camp out on a fucking Wednesday.
Because nintendo can barely manage to put out one game a year on average. I don't think that's worth buying a console for and that is what the majority clearly must think judging by the sales of the wii u and the software attach rate of the wii.
If you think nintendo alone is worth buying a console for, that's your perogative, but don't act like there is no merit to the "no gaemz" argument. I know it sounds hypocritical, but it is seriously okay for sony/microsoft to have no games at launch because many of them, and a variety of them will come eventually
Nintendo made claims about the Wii U -before it launched-. They had no actual information to work with just the incorrect belief that the Wii name would sell the system. Nintendo is doubling production now because they sold 1.5 million in 1 week in March which is better sales numbers than any of their consoles have ever had before.
not cool bro, you said we were gonna camp out before everybody found out and kiss
Where is the Xbox One?
jesus calm down kid.
Guess what?
I have a switch and I'm enjoying zelda, and I'm going to enjoy it when its on CEMU with 60 FPS too.
2/10 made me reply
Reminder that the Wii U got 2 yearly installments of Call of Duty, an at least one Assassin's Creed.
Nintendo Switch is going to be a success due to being the successor of two different consoles. I've been saying this since the reveal.
Nintendo fanboys like all fanboys are annoying, please stop.
3DS and DS series on the Switch like Monster Hunter, SMT, and Pokemon
It's guaranteed to sell at least 20 million.
>user in charge of reading the OP
How is it possible that Skyrim is still considered a killer app? The game is FOUR FUCKING YEARS OLD
>>Third party: DS Trilogy, Skyrim, Xenoverse 2
>Third party games are years old ports
Oh wow, where did we see this crash and burn before?
I only have the controller to play games on my pc
>the switch has games coming out for it
>splatoon 2 soon, , binding of isaac just came out for it, zelda is on the fucking thing, mario oddesy coming this summer, mario kart 8 deluxe is coming out for it on the fucking 28th,
and tons of eshop games are being added each day. Sure, old rpgs but you can't tell me metal slug isn't fun.
I honestly think you're being a fucking hypocrite on purpose.
>better sales numbers than any of their consoles have ever had before
And it's still below PS4. Fucking pathetic.
k
I'm waiting for someone to figure out a way to execute unsigned code on the switch. I have a weird feeling that it's going to have a good homebrew scene.
If the browser in the switch had JIT compiler in it I would have already bought one to run browser shit on.
Who carnes if it sells or not, I've enjoyed my Wii U and I'm going to enjoy my future Switch
Mario Odyssey is holiday 2017 and $60 Mario Kart and Splatoon DLC isn't worth it.
Don't under estimate normies. Many people bought Skyrim SE even though they've played the original.
>considering
It's not even planned, you mentally ill nintendildo.
The game came out in 2011
>Splatoon DLC
It's a sequel.
>homebrew scene
Why do people say this like there's anything to do on a hacked console other than pirating?
The PS4 launched in the holidays. Why are so many people here so dumb. The reason Nintendo is doubling production is not because they sold 1.5 mil week 1, the Wii U probably did similar numbers. It's because they sold 1.5 mil week 1 in MARCH. The timing is important.
Ok, but how come we still don't have solid worldwide sales numbers? Hell, I don't know how many units were sell in USA.
i wouldnt hold my breath for 8
hardware revision when?
You've got baited
>splatoon dlc
confirmed sonybro.
It's a sequel, but call it dlc if you want you blind fucking nigger microdick retard.
>16mil first year forecast
Oh fuck yeah
That means LOADS OF GAMES DUDES
This fuckin system is gonna be the best
Can't wait for e3 whatsoever, it's gonna be fucking HUGE
What you people don't realize is since Nintendo barely touched e3 last year they clearly held back. The switch presentation in january was merely a warm up
E3 will be huge
>IMPLYING A NINTENDRONE'S OPINION MEANS SHIT TO ME
the fuck is Nintendo thinking? they're making the same mistake as Crapcom setting expectations too high.
Assuming that normies care about Shitch.
these 1.5 million sales could be diehard nintendo fans starving for Zelda.
Because a bunch of old games aren't worth buying a console for.
This is the part where you will probably go "but other consoles had a bunch of old ports at launch!" but for the third time, that's okay because those consoles will within a couple of years have all of the new hit games while third parties abandon nintendo because they don't want to develop an all new AAA game for underpowered hardware because only the nintendo crowd will be their install base.
As long as nintendo has underpowered console hardware, they will have pathetic third party support
Again, I hope you enjoy your dozens of old games and ports, but that didn't save the wii u
>Ok, but how come we still don't have solid worldwide sales numbers? Hell, I don't know how many units were sell in USA.
We know they're around 2 million sold because that's how many they shipped and it's sold out everywhere but certain European countries and Australia.
>NO GAMES
>lists literally games that haven't come out yet as reasons the console is selling
Jesus you're fucking stupid.
They put 2 on the end so you fucking nintendo fuckboys would buy it all over again for 1 new weapon HAHAHAHA
99% of people only pirate and emulate
1% actually writes custom code and tries to do something fun and original with the hardware
I am the 1%
Implying I'm a Nintenbro and not a Idort
>early access was a success
so when does the beta end ?
That 16 million numbers still seems to be just pulled out of their ass. Selling 1.5 million consoles doesn't equal 16 million by years end. The Wiiu sold 3 million it's first month. Then didn't sell 3 million for the rest of the year. A fast start means nothing, longevity does. And we haven't seen enough of the Switch to guarantee those projected numbers. If it is still selling well by September, then we can talk.
>put some new weapons and new maps
>nintenkiddies pay $60 for it
Hilarious.
>tfw people saying S-STOP LISTING UNRELEASED GAMES
>Meanwhile the only fucking thing I ever see sony fans saying as reasons to buy a ps4 is upcoming titles
If they're hardcore nintendo fanboys, then they've never played skyrim. Either situation will get sales of skyrim.
>being this retarded
>on purpose
Same shit faggot there's only one race in the master race
Good for you m8
Looking forward to playing as rapper Mario in Super Mario Odyssey
