NINTENDOMNATION

The power of marketing. PS4 went through the same thing, the whole used games fiasco gave them a huge edge against Microsoft.

ps4 did that in one week

marketing retard

ps4 did it and it didn't even had games until recently

Can i still get one or is it still out of stock

Marketing.
Switch is actually a good name and people understand it's something new.

The WiiU's NUMBER ONE issue was the retarded ass name and no one knowing
1. it exists or
2. it's not just a wii accessory

Consoles suck so much this gen ONE good game is enough to be the main selling point of a console.

Scalpers, hyped up Neets who can just dump 400 on a Zelda machine

Because that game is one of the best of all times

It would sell any console.

>Sony sold 2.1 million in first month according to the verge
>and it had zero games
>people were paying upwards to $800 on ebay

figure that shit out

This
Go on eBay and watch how fast those bids go up the last minute. Shit goes from 299 with free shipping to 390. It's actually entertaining to watch this process.

didn't the wii u sell 7 million in 2 weeks?

I'll probably buy one when the second edition comes out. By then it should have a few good games and hopefully longer battery life.

Honestly, the PS4 was more impressive. It took a fucking full year and a half to get its first game, yet by that time it had sold millions. What the fuck did early adopters even play for that first year and a half?

There's tons of shit to play on it though

Netflix

Out of stock eveywhere unless you go through every store that might have it every Monday/Tuesday morning.
On Wednesdays and later they can't be found outside of online stores.

No, you can't get one. Not because they're out of stock, but because you're too stupid.

>tfw spent TWO YEARS thinking the wii u was a wii tablet accessory

I still don't know who's dumber, me or nintendo

It sold alot because it used up all it's ammo, zelda.

Now what the fuck is gonna sell it for the rest of the year?

You reek of reddit. fuck off

Sony sold 2.1 mil in 14 days, not a month. And it had basically no games too.

Wii U/3DS upscale ports, plus they've still got Mario and Fire Emblem coming this year.

I should know. My sister's actually double-dipping for Mario Kart later this month because of the return of traditional battle mode arenas, and I'm sure she's not the only one.

MK8DX, Arms, Super Mario odyssey, Splatoon 2

garbage games for 5yo

>How the hell is this possible?

Breath of the Wild is just that good.

You're never gonna make it.

I've been really enjoying this after finishing Zelda
inb4 multiplat

wut, is that tthe tiger from kung fu panda at the end?

Reminds me of the original xbox. Shit had nothing going for it except Halo and that managed not only to keep it afloat, but to succeed.

They are called drones for a reason.

5 year old money is just as green as anyone else's. Hell, it's probably greener since Little Timmy's mommy likely won't pirate the games at the first opportunity. Never underestimate the spending power of kids.

You guys think Nintendo will restock in time for MK8D launch? I want to get one on release day but Im scared there will still be a drought

Why everyone forgots about Xenoblade 2? Its supossed to be launched this year.

They probably have a good batch ready for its release.

I really hope so. I dont want to be left out of first weeks release madness

12 switch is Just That good

Wrong. Got my switch at a walmart when they had a 6 o clock restock.

Meant to add on a friday, no less.

I'm more concerned with how it's possible that I still can't fucking find one anywhere.

would it be wise to buy some Nintendo stocks?

Whats impressive is that it did this in March.

FUCKING MARCH.

Just imagine them doing a bundle for December and 50 dollars cheaper.

Marketing, gimmick. It's not even that impressive. PS4 done much better.

PS4 did much better because it released during the holidays dude. Also, Microsoft practically handed it to them with all their DRM shit.

Basically a perfect storm for Sony.

Marketing determines whether or not a console sells, not titles.

And honestly a single high profile port on release isn't even that bad for a launch. Good launches are more rare than bad ones.

>How the hell is this possible?

Loyal fanbase that would buy Nintendo shit even if it was a literal turd with a mario hat glued on.

That means it will sell at least as much as Wii U.

After that it will tank, since it wont have games like GTA, Red Dead Redemption, CoD etc and thats what the average gamer wants to play.

Everyone expects the game to get delayed to at least Q1 2018.

If you're asking for advice from Sup Forums you may as well flip a coin.

Care for a suicide bet? If it slips to 2018 I'm done, but I'm confident it won't.

Is that Torbjörn?

WiiU sold 3 million on a month

>MK8DX
a port
>Arms
looks retarded
>Mario Odissey
comes in fucking november thats over 6 months
>splatoon 2
doesnt even have a release date

and then it continued to smash record sale numbers out of sheer luck and permanent holidays right?

switch only sold because of Zelda and novelty factor

It will probably get CoD and the sports games. The Wii did and it was a lot weaker than the competition. The reason the Wii U didn't is purely because it didn't sell. Rockstar games will never come to Nintendo consoles, though.

Splatoon 2 on July 21st my melanin enriched friend

Handheld isn't "novelty factor", it's legitimately extremely useful especially in Japan where they all ride trains every day.

novelty because is a new console you stupid fuck

>only 1 (ONE) game
That makes it the best launch library in recent memory.

2.2 million in a span of 2 months.

Splatoon 2 is coming out on 21 July ya dingus

why does the number keep changing? You know they released the numbers right? didn't even break 900k

The 900k (they did break 900k) was just US numbers. They also sell in Japan, Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada, etc.

>why does the number keep changing?
It isn't changing, you're just an idiot.

All the Drones has bought the system
Drones buy whatever blunder Nintendo makes

nintenddrones constantly defending their shit system

These are third party estimate, by companies that specialize in data gathering.

We won't know the exact number until Nintendo's earning conference.

>Rockstar games will never come to Nintendo consoles, though.
Mainline? Probably not. Spinoffs? Quite possible. I mean the PSP did get games like Vice City Stories.

Also, they can revive Midnight Club on this thing.

bump

I doubt Rockstar will do anything with Nintendo after the Chinatown Wars fiasco.

Down the road the average normie will have to choose between:

PS4 Pro, with GTA, CoD, TES, RDR, ETC

Nintendo Switch with gimped down spors games and CoD and missing a lot of mainstream multiplats, but with nintendo kiddie shit.

They will choose the PS4 / xBone.

As I said, the Switch will sell to their loyal fanbase, but as long as it doesnt go toe to toe with Sony and Microsoft multiplat wise it will never be relevant since that is what the average gamer cares about.

You may be confused but there is no mandate that you must own only one video game system. People can in fact buy both. Regardless, there is a large audience of people interested in video games other than AAA western exclusives. In fact the DS is the second biggest seller ever with none of that.

>You may be confused but there is no mandate that you must own only one video game system. People can in fact buy both.


Yeah, because the average household has more than one home console. Suuuuure.

>PS4 had the largest console launch in history with 1 million in the U.S. alone in 24 hours.
>2.1 million in two weeks
>4.2 in the first month
>Switch sold half that in same month's time
>Also worth nothing PS4 didn't come out in PAL territories till two weeks after
>Japan didn't get PS4 till late February

Well the PS4 sold more with zero (0) games, so the answer is obvious.
Marketing.

That's 2.1M in America for 14 days and a day after release in Europe
By Dec 28, the PS4 sold 4.2M units without even reaching Japan yet

The average household does not have a video game system. Among people who do however, buying multiple is normal.

How stupid do you have to be to compare a holiday release to a March release?

thats actually bad, what are you so happy about?

You are deluded.

Whatever you gotta say. Please consider suicide when the Switch sells 10+ mil this year.

Sounds like you are going through post purchase rationalization.

I dont care how many units the Switch moves.

good marketing and hype buildup for an entire console's generation of the new Zelda.

Switch was successful because Nintendo tapped normies again. not just with their console, but it got them with nostalgia again with BotW.

What fiasco?

>normies
lol is that why zelda has close to a 100% attach rate? No, face it nintenigger the switch wa sold to the same people as the WiiU.

why do you autists pretend sony wasn't handed the gen by microsoft?

PS4 had third party games why do people always forget this? Normies dont give a shit that COD/FIFA isnt a console exclusive

They lost a lot of money lisensing, developing and publishing Chinatown Wars for the DS and it sold like crap.

I probably won't buy another game until Mario. They're devious.

what does the attachment rate have to do with normies buying Zelda?

youtube.com/watch?v=lbz-gLFjFXQ

Normies buy zelda?

>THOSE DON'T COUNT BECAUSE I SAY SO

everyone buys Zelda.

that all switch owners are pure retards, because they all already have wii u but still paid $500 for shit console to play game that they could play for just $60

Its called facts, you Sonyboi

>in March

xbone was competing with ps4 and still sold more than a switch, 2m are pretty bad considering there was literally no competition

Because of that 1 (one) game. It sold more than the fucking console did. People literally bought it to stare at the fucking box, that's how good it is.
