How the fuck is this thing actually doing?
I don't mean whether it has games you like or not, I mean whether it's doing well or not.
>their big games coming out
>nintendo building 2 units per week
>every single literally who indie dev porting their games to it
>iphone 3 probably had better specs
Is this fucking thing actually working or is it WiiU 2.0?
It's doing well. 60-100 million lifetime probably.
>How the fuck is this thing actually doing?
it's surpassing nintendo's expectations, and making the company and shareholders profits
Very good, surprisingly.
The key to its success will be whether people but those third-party games on it or if it turns into another Wii where only Nintendo stuff sells.
>or if it turns into another Wii where only Nintendo stuff sells
yeah... that'd be terrible for nintendo... wii was so bad for them...
Solid third-party support will prolong its lifespan rather than being a flash in the pan for a couple of years.
Honestly, I own a Switch and there hasn't been much to play. I bought ARMs but I stopped playing after a few days. Didn't like it. Splatoon is next and I've never been big on Splatoon. Hopefully Xenoblade is coming sooner rather than later and give me my damn MHXX. The console is great for people who loved the Wii U...it's has all the ports and sequels.
>Nintendo's stock higher than its been in over seven years (since Wii)
>Nintendo recently surpassed Sony in market capitalization
>Switch just passed 1 million sales in Japan in less than 17 weeks (took WiiU 34 weeks to reach that number, Ps4 36 weeks)
>Nintendo reportedly stockpiling Switches in order to be able to satisfy deman during their heavy releases such as Splatoon 2 and Odyssey
Seems to be booming right now. Pretty impressive IMO. I personally don't get the whole portable meme, but people seem to like it.
Might pick one up eventually. However, the WiiU did pretty well initially as well, so the Switch booming right now doesn't necessarily mean much.
noone had a wiiu so that's good
Are there many quality 3rd party games in the works besides monhun? All I see advertised are loads of shit indie games
I still haven't found A SINGLE review about HD rumble. I want to see reviews and what not.
I still haven't seen a review about the fucking screen. What is it like especially with light and the sun shining on the screen? Why can't anyone do specific and detailed reviews anymore RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr
>wii where only Nintendo stuff sell
This is in no way true. Wii had plenty of 3rd party support and loads of 3rd part games sold every well on the system.
They just weren't games "we" care about, like Just Dance and Carnival Games.
HD Rumble is in the Steam controller. It's really nothing special. Or maybe it is but no dev has used it to effective ends yet.
HD rumble is pretty nice. It's nothing special, but it's subtle and does feel different. I like it a lot in MK8D.
As for the screen. It's plastic and pretty reflective, not great in the sun. However, the quality of the actual display is great. Games look fantastic on it.
>not great in the sun
This. I thought I could play outside but I can't see shit if it's sunny outside
you know it's a success when everyone in japan has to participate in a raffle just for a chance to buy it, and mario odyssey isn't even out yet
It's fine.
>iphone 3 probably had better specs
You severely overestimate the power of mobile phones.
Its hard to not make profits when you charge $300 for $125 of MSRP tech.
welcome to neo Sup Forums
screen resolution = power
Samsung Galaxy S8 is considerably better than the switch.
sure it loads candy crush faster
It's actually doing pretty well but it would be doing much better if they had the actual consoles on store shelves. But that can't be helped at the moment since Apple are hogging manufacturing parts for their iPhone 8.
I've managed to get about 20 people to buy one just by taking it around places and at work on my break. Im pretty stoked about that because I never really convinced anyone to buy a wii/u or any nintendo thing to be honest, so this was a real success for me to help improve those sales, so i reckon it's doing pretty good. If all of those 20 have got one I think a couple will get one down the line but everyone i showed pretty much has one now becaue we link up every time we play, then I managed to help nintendo make around £5000. Anyway it's a hella of a console and I love it!
Lads should I buy this. Store not too far from me has it at $299. Everywhere online is $350 or $399
If you skipped Wii U it's easily worth it. Mario Kart, Zelda, Splatoon 2, SMO soon.
>I personally don't get the whole portable meme, but people seem to like it.
Have you ever taken a long train ride from work to home?
Or a long waiting line at the bank?
this
I got one of my coworkers to buy one and I think I've convinced my uncle as well. If that's the case then yeah sales must be pretty good! I sure as heck have never sold anything before in my life kek
Not him but:
>own my own car
>my banking is done with direct deposits and fucking mobile apps
So no
>my banking is done with direct deposits and fucking mobile apps
With the recent raise of netcrime, I dont quite trust those.
Yea I mean one was real easy, she wanted to buy a 3DS for her son I was like, NO, just spend a bit more for the 3DS and you can always play with him and monitor it etc plus if you need to drive somewhere or go somewhere it will keep him occupied.
it's too early to tell
all consoles sell well at launch
and nintendo blew their load with zelda at launch
wait a year and see then
They lost that market a long time ago, and I can't see them ever getting it back
