Sup Forums forgot that the gaming market is the single largest concentration of retard consumers on the planet. The gaming industry can get away with shit other industries only dream of.

stop this console war bullshit once for all, you fucking retards. just fucking stop and discuss video games.

> B-b-but I trusted you, random anons!

Why are you believing some random strangers on Sup Forums and then getting angry when the opposite result of their predictions happen?

I always guessed that the Switch would be successful, but that's just my opinion, I could have been wrong, I could be wrong in the near future.

What I don't do is believe wholeheartedly the post of some random fuck on Sup Forums telling me that the switch will/will not be successful.

Don't treat anons as nostradamus prophetd/analytics experts.

>he thinks 2 million is something sneeze at.
calm down. there will be a dry spell until pokemon comes out.

>I always guessed that the Switch would be successful
I reckon it will if it takes over the 3DS market.

A lot of Nintendo haters out there. Ironically a lot of them loves their games but refuse to buy their consoles. All of the doom sayers have said the same thing since the 80s
>oh my god Nintendo shot themselves in the foot this time!
And then they break records, make billions, and keep on trucking

>Game of the decade (Zelda)
>MK8D tomorrow
>Arms next month
>Splatoon after that
>By then E3
>XB2 & Mario by the end of the year
>Shitton of AA and indie games
>All on a portable console
Hmmmmm

TWO POINT SEVEN MILLION SOLD IN MARCH ALONE

Played Zelda on my Wii U.

Literally no reason to get a Switch until 2018 / 2019.

3D Mario isn't worth getting at launch. System needs more games.

if you want to post baits so bad, at least try

and don't even bother replying to me. just go away

This is a marathon senpai. We shall meet again a year later to see how the switch is doing.
Wii U also sold well first months. The problem was maintaining interest considering it had zero third party support and it was overpriced.

The same issues the switch currently has.

Fuck off cunt, I was giving reasons why I'm personally not getting a Switch because I can already play some of it's games on Wii U.

Beyond 3D Mario it has nothing that interests me.

This.

Console sales are always frontloaded, if you think this will keep up, especially past 10 million, you're in for a rude awakening.

There's no way this is outselling or even reaching the 3DS.

It'll outperform the WiiU, that's a given, but momentum will certainly come to a halt once all the fanboys get their hands on one.

20-30 million, I've been saying this since the announcement.

>The same issues the switch currently has
No.

LOL, it will sell at least 40 million units in its lifetime.

It's going to do well, how well remains to be seen, let's not get overhyped.

What should be applauded is that in at LEAST its first 6 months, it will have had absolutely no droughts something that could not be said for Wii U.

I didn't say the Wii U sold more than the Switch, but the peak was reached in the first couple of months. After that sales dropped once interest and hype fell.

Mostly due to a poor library of games caused by poor third party support.
And no, your japanese rpgs aren't enough to make a console successful.

People want to play the new GTA, the new CoD. AAA western titles sell consoles.
People want a system that will offer red dead redemption 2 this year, people want a system that will offer the popular mainstream games.

Systems like the ps4, the bone or the pc.
So far, there is nothing like that on the switch or announced.

Wanna put your money where your mouth is?

bet you $500 it won't.

>After that sales dropped once interest and hype fell.
Because it had huge droughts, which the Switch doesn't have. Zelda alone sold out the Switch for 2 months and MK8D comes out tomorrow, a huge system seller. Switch is going to sell Wii U's numbers in 2017 alone.

>People want a system that will offer red dead redemption 2 this year, people want a system that will offer the popular mainstream games.

I guess that's why the 3DS ended up a huge failure too

payday 2
lol

You need to sell it least 50m units to be worth a fuck. Switch has sold what? Sub-3m? If it can get 20m in a year, you're on track for a good console.

I keep forgetting that some people actually buy the thing as a handheld...

That is what is giving it its sales edge, isn't it? It's a console to me. It makes such a clunky, rickety handheld.

3ds is on a different market. You can't compare 3ds market with the console market, the same way you can't compare mobile with consoles or pc either.

Different consumers, different interest. Or are you implying the switch is targeting the portable, mobile consumers?

>Or are you implying the switch is targeting the portable, mobile consumers?

It's targeting all, hence we are getting Pokemon games on it along with console Zelda games.

And you know this how? On what basis? Sure console sales slow down after launch, but that's no predictor of exactly how much it will sell in its lifetime.

>Or are you implying the switch is targeting the portable, mobile consumers?
It's pretty obvious they are. They always show off that it's portable. youtube.com/watch?v=TGwSdqMFlXk

It's a console, marketed as a console, but let's be lot: though I myself for one hate to admit it, a lot of people buying it are indeed buying it as a "hardcore handheld" of sorts. It's happening regardless of how it is marketed.

>On what basis?
He's comparing it to his own PS4. Switch is still selling out.

>If it can get 20m in a year, you're on track for a good console.
You say that like it's only mildly impressive. The PS2 and the Wii only managed 20m a year at their peak. The Wii only pulled it off for 2 years, the PS2 for one.

Nintendo's estimate of 10m this fiscal year is probably a conservative one, based on the WSJ report that they're producing 16m.

I use it for both. It's big, but by no means unusable as a handheld. I take it to work with me everyday. It's fucking amazing, I can play console games at work.

I take it to work too, but I mount it and use it as a portable console setup with stand on table instead of a handheld. It's clunky to me to hold it as a handhelds, specially when you are gripping 2 thin pi does with all that weight in the middle.

Speaking of stand, what were they thinking? That built in one couldn't be shittier if they tried.

They marketed it correctly

It's called having a fucking brain, and looking at market analysts. I'm not gonna post the charts anymore as I don't have them on my phone, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the handheld market is on a severe downward trend, and that mobiles and tablets are responsible for this.

The Switch's mainstay will have to be within the red ocean, through hardcore gaming, and thus far, it's accomplished that through Zelda, and Zelda alone, which has had years of hype build up, with people RUNNING to play at E3, and paid shills/reviewers touting it as the greatest game ever made. Ofc this is gonna move Switch units, but that's still only Zelda, and Nintendo has NOTHING on the horizon that even matches that in terms of hype. Switch sales will slow, especially since the PS4 looks like a more lucrative gaming investment to a consumer than a tablet with ONE GAME.

>But PS4 sold...
on the promise if games, which is always guaranteed with Sony. Nintendo nuked thst confidence when they axed the WiiU.

Once people start seeing Switch isn't getting FFVIIR, Red Dead 2, etc.... you'll start to see the numbers take a drastic drop. And if you thought the Zelda hype was intense, wait for the FFVIIR hype.

You are assuming FF7 isn't coming to Switch...

All we know is that it PREMIERS on PlayStation.

>Japanese numbers
Now show me the global ones. Japan doesn't accurately reflect the global market shitposter-kun.

Switch will be getting FFVII remake

Yeah Mario games aren't a thing, dry spell until Pokemon amirite guys

>but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the handheld market is on a severe downward trend
You do realize 2DS sales went up, right? 3DS is doing really well.
Global ones doesn't exist yet ;)

I can assure you it won't come to Switch you filthy tripfaggot.

I'll bet $300, the price of a switch

Maybe my hands are just particularly huge (I find dualshocks to be uncomfortable after all), but I don't mind the size. Feels alright to me. I never get the sense that it's clunky or rickety. I love this.thing. Only complaint is the lack of a proper d-pad, and that the signal gets all fucked up when I use the joycon pad thing.

3DS is is their worst selling handheld, and has sold a fraction of the DS.

This, please..

>Global ones doesn't exist yet ;)
Its almost like you believe the switch could outsell the PS4, kek.

And whats with the random image, a quick nintendo shilling thrown in pajeet?

It won't.

All while dealing with forms of competition that didn't even exist when the DS came out.

Same could be said about PS4. I guess Sony is doooooomed hahaha
3DS outsold the PS4 lol. What do you think is going to happen when Switch has taken over Japan? I'll let you guess.

Please, half the threads on this board are switch threads and people replying to their own posts with wojacks

This.

>LOOK, SWITCH OUTSOLD PS4!!!! (in japan) 2 million in two months, get rekked Sup Forums
Uhhh yeah, PS4 sold like shit in Japan at launch as it had no weeb games. It sold like 2 million in 24 hours globally though.
>t-that doesn't count! C-christmas sales!!
whatever

>Yeah Mario games aren't a thing,
that is true.

3DS is at the end if it's lifespan, it won't break past 60 million.

PS4 is halfway through its lifespan and just hit the 60 million benchmark.

Tell me, outside of the Wii, when was the last time a Nintendo home console sold over 60 million? Sony has done it 4 times in a row.

>3DS outsold the PS4 lol
Lol, What a retard.

>Sony has done it 4 times in a row.
"Okay"

>3DS is at the end if it's lifespan, it won't break past 60 million.

nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/

It's nearing 70 million you illiterate retard.

Lol, the PS4 has just surpassed the NES and is just 1 million behind the 3DS now.

Keep bragging, I can't wait for the PS4 to finally overtake the 3DS so you retards can stop with this argument.

See you in December senpai.

Reminder that even the majority of Sup Forums owns it
This was from a long poll thread on Sup Forums 2 days ago

>3DS is at the end if it's lifespan, it won't break past 60 million.
u wot

3000000 sales is not that impressive tho

Nintendo games have 0 mainstream appeal. The usual nintendo fanboys are buying it, but once that market is exhausted, the sales will drop like an anchor.
In the end, Sony's strategy worked. They created games for children with PS1, games for teenager with PS2, and adult oriented games with PS3. Nintendo, on the other hand, still caters mainly to children. In this day and age, where everyone has smartphones and tablets, their consoles simply cannot be successful.

>65 million
>less than half of the DS
>about to get necked by Nintendo
>only 1 million ahead of the PS4
what's there to brag about here?

>so you retards can stop with this argument
Facts hurts Sony drones so much.
>See you in December senpai.
Yeah, I can't wait.

>Open world greatest anything
It was shit with skyrim it's shit as zelda.

Haven't owned a Nintendo product since the first game boy. Honestly love this new toy and regret nothing.

Look at those goal posts move all on their own

It's a 7/10 at best, but anyone who thought it wouldn't sell is retarded.

>Sup Forums forgot that the gaming market is the single largest concentration of retard consumers on the planet
I think OP forgot that same thing about Sup Forums.

Are they?

You're the one bragging about the 3DS "curbstomping" the PS4 while we both know the PS4 will overtake it come holiday season, and that 3DS is on its way out thanks to the Switch.

It is a flop. Desperate shitposting of sales and game reviews don't mean shit when the sales are still shit and there's a lack of games for a fucking games console. Desperation and excuses from the Nintenbros.

All I said is that it fucking deserves to fail since it is easily the worst console since the last nintendo console.

But I never said it will because holy shit costumers are retarded.

I just want to play Xenoblade and that SMT game, but neither have release dates.

thx for the insight user, really made me reconsider

It will sell better than Wii U. It won't sell better than the Wii. Selling better than the Wii U isn't too great an accomplishment.

And yet drones still insist that shit will drop this year, and that SMTV won't be multiplat.

No, it's pretty good for March. And they could've sold more if they'd had more to sell. It's definitely not "flopping hard".

At least we have a currently set year for both...

I still cannot believe Xenoblade is slated for this year.

No chance in hell Xenoblade is ready this year, and considering how well Persona did they'll have no choice but to make SMT multiplat.

I don't want to see you get hurt again user. Especially after the Wii U.

>and that SMTV won't be multiplat
Do people seriously believe this?

wow, Knack!

>It's a "I'm a jaded millenial contrarian too afraid to openly like stuff on Sup Forums because it puts me in a vulnerable position so i'll just say that it's shit and not even back up my claim with an opinion." episode

Artificial sales, news manipulation, stupid drones

Big E3 confirmed.

no, the only thing they need to do to boost sales is print more consoles

That would mean people would stop having to be poor, and you'd also likely have to slaughter all the people involved with the original Console Wars, i.e. SNES vs Genesis.

I don't think MonHun is going to hurt sales at the very least twitter.com/mochi_wsj/status/857555364404895744

if monster hunter is released on switch it will be elevated to god status

I have no idea what the fuck happened either, I'm a fuckhuge Nintenbro and the switch was the most repulsive thing I've ever seen Nintendo shit out. I was willing to support the Wii U even.

I know nobody believes Xenoblade 2 will release this year, but let's wait for E3 before judging. If the game gets a good presentation and a demo there, then it's safe to say they're on track for making it.

OKAY! WE TRIED! STOP IT.. STOP!
WE CALLED IT SHIT..
WE SPAMMED THE CROWBCAT VIDEO...
WE SAID ZELDA WAS BORING EVEN THOUGH WE DIDNT PLAY IT...
WE POSTED FAKE IMAGES OF IT BROKEN...

IT DIDNT WORK.. IM SORRY!

wow it sounds like you have terrible taste

It did work cause them sales are shit and everyone's holding back for a revised console and for more games to come out.

I believe it will.

Sounds like he's not a retarded consumer.

what do you possibly base that off of other than opinion?

Not blindly purchasing a product because of muh brand loyalty.

Console wars are indispensable for a healthy industry
>Consoles are rendered naked so consumers can know their pros and cons
>Every time you win a console war thread you put seed of doubt in the minds of the non-believers
>Eventually the non-believers buy your console of choice
>The most money your console of choice's manufacturer gets, the more games you get

and where did you get that strawman?

I have a Switch and haven't bought a Nintendo console since I was disappointed in the N64
