Nintendo would deny children consoles for christmas just to continue pushing their "it's so high in demand it's scarce!" meme.

Slanty eyes kikes. And that's why I'll continue to pirate everything Nintendo. Thanks for Breath of the Wild, it was fantastic at 4k.

>it's a phoneposter thread

Nintendo can't sell more consoles. If they do, casual fans will realize the Switch doesn't have any games. It would be bad for their reputation.

Where the fuck is my Odyssey bundle

im starting to think you”re right

>Nintendo 3 months ago
Yeah, our goal is to get more units on shelves for the release of Super Mario Odyssey and Christmas time.
>Nintendo now
Fuck you, go pay the 100 dollar scalper tax, all of you.

>39 open tabs on your phone

that's what im waiting for too. Probably will be a direct early october.

>It's another episode of a CEO trying to limit the supply to make look like it's selling a lot
Nice tactics but he is betting too high

No we can't ensure enough units for everyone at the holidays, so make sure you buy one now! Also we send out large shipments each time we release a major title which is once a month! please start lining up now.

When I go into porn mode I get 100+.

This.

I only use linux for browsing the internet with a custom host files that blocks malware and 90% of ads. At least try to use Adguard DNS in your shit iphone/android

I have over 600

>Valkyria azure revolution

This game is shit, don't even worth 30 bux.

this

Do you own it? post pic with timestamp that I'll post mine with timestamp too

>Nvidia can't keep up with demand of giving Nintendo binned chips.

Damn I only have the standard version of Valkyria. The soundtrack is pretty nice and one of the few things I'd complement the game for. I wouldn't mind having it.

New iPhone 8

There's more to a console/handheld than one component you mongoloid.

Soundtrack is 10/10. Too bad it's only 20 tracks

You do know there's a shortage on NAND chips because Apple bought them all right?

MUH PLASTIK
MUH MAIN BOARD
MUH SOLDER

>it's nintendo's fault that apple is stealing all their manufacturing capacity

>Think about the children!

Are you guys retarded or what? Nintendo wants to be able to sell as many Switches as possible, they ran short before because Apple had brought most of the market of chips they needed, it's probably the same thing again. They're literally supply locked, they can't make them any faster.

Please stop pretending to be retarded.

>inb4 not pretending

The truth is Swich was rushed
You only release a console when you have Foxconn make 10 million units ready to ship for you. Nintendo could get only 4 million

#NotMyPresident

So Nintendo is supposed to just not release their next gen console? They're just supposed to let their market share stagnate and keep pretending to push the Wii U, which was dead for years before the Switch was even announced?

They should have waited a few more months to get at least 8 million units. People often say they have trillions of dollars saved so delaying 6~12 months wouldn't hurt them specially since they still release 3DS games.

>their next gen console
They've been a generation behind for over a decade now.

they released wii u with ps4 and xbox one

they released switch when ps5 and the next xbox aren't even really in the picture just yet

the switch was definitely rushed, and it's 100% not even a 'next gen console', it's ps4/xbox one level, or at the very least inbetween current and last gen on power alone

but anyway, no shit @ this news

this is why i laughed when people said pokemon and mario were going to help the console break 40m+ sales

gonna take a fucking decade for them to have 40m consoles to sell at this rate

they could stockpile units until christmas and probably not even able to crack more than 1-2m in sales just because of their abysmal lack of stock, mario and holiday sales are probably going to be disappointing as fuck for nintendo, and it's all going to be because of stock

reversely, if they manage to shit out 5-10m consoles for christmas, i don't ever want to hear any 'nintendo doesn't use scarcity tactics!' if they stockpiled that much shit, just for holiday sales, then it'd be so fucking obvious they've been holding back stock

TSMC has more than enough 28nm HKMG wafer capacity to satisfy nintondo.

>Nintendo purposefully design a game console that has to compete with a part for the biggest cellphone in the world
>This somehow isn't Nintendo's fault

Actually, yeah.

If you know your product uses a limited component, that another, highly in-demand product uses, and that the manufacturers of that in-demand product are willing to buy that component out at a right that completely outpaces your ability to, then you definitely fucked up somewhere.

>enough

They can't even produce 10?

Apple is stealing what, 28nm wafers?

>If you know your product uses a limited component, that another, highly in-demand product uses, and that the manufacturers of that in-demand product are willing to buy that component out at a right that completely outpaces your ability to
Can you prove that they knew this?

REEEEEEEE

Hasn't this been a regularly used component in Apple devices for a while?

They naturally were going to run into trouble by designing the Switch this way.

>switch
>ps4/xbone level

thanks for the laught

that nand shortage is also driving up ssd and ddr4 prices, it's universal memory not some shared tablet screen that can be redesigned around

DRAM is not exclusive to crapple shit.

Arguing with shitposting sonygroes is like yelling at the wind, it's not productive, user.

>being this stupid

You can't call yourself a porn aficionado unless your tab count is OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!

There's at least three DRAM vendors.
Nintondo should try to work with them instead of yelling loudly.

"ur dum"

>Thanks for
How many dicks did you jam in your mouth when you said that?

>Seriously, seriously thinking that Nintendo should have left BotW as a WiiU game rather than as the killer app it is

Holy fucking shit, reading opinions on Sup Forums can be damaging for your IQ sometimes. I can actually feel myself getting dumber just by trying to imagine how stupid you'd have to be just to say that.

Stupid enough to fanboy a console that has quite literally, with the release of P5, only just recieved its second game perhaps.

Foxconn is opening a plant in the United States
If Trump is smart enough he will make that plan produce hardware components for Sony and Nintendo.
It would fix the issue with Chinese businessmen getting bribe from Apple and Samsung

Doesn't the Switch share the same screen as Apple devices and they're basically competing for how much supply they get between the two?

So if not everyone can get it, no one should get it? What's the fucking point? Early adopters are important.

Foxconn does a lot more than cucksoles.

What game is that on the very upper right?

It's not the screen that's the big problem.

Lololool how exactly do you think this industry works?

But the USA main plant could produce components for Sony/Nintendo and Apple for instance. Foxconn won't allow their chinese costumers like ASUS/ASrock/AMD(even Microsoft) have their hardware build in the United States.

>tfw got a switch on launch

Crisis averted
The one time I didn't wait for other people to test it paid off, holy shit.

I don't give a shit about nintendo, but when are they gonna give my man Bowser his own game?
7FT+, can you image being that tall and bulky

Akiba's Trip

>Mario Odyssey Literally a month away.
>October is where the Holidays basically kick off.

Shit son Nintendo you better get fuckin crackin.

>Not BOBwser in the mirror
You had one job!

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

Looking at this, and I think Nintendo really needs to drop prices for their games since other companies do it. Its fucking retarded that a Nintendo titles is still $60 after its been out for a year or more while non Nintendo titles drop in price usually a month later.

Why would they feel the need to drop the price of their games when they still sell high numbers over the years?

Wii U was like this too. Best case you had 2 deals a year with mario, zelda, gba/snes classics at 20~30% off. I bought DMC4, Tomb Raider 2013, Dark Souls III and Nioh with a 80 dollar PSN card (50+20+10)this year.

Because sales slow down as years pass by and less people buy it so that should be the time to drop price. Plenty of games that sell well though still drop in price.

Look at COD, GTA, Gears of War, Uncharted, and other AAA titles. They sell millions but they still drop in price. Nintendo should do the same regardless.

I don't get though how Gravity Rush 2 is still $60 despite not selling that good.

And Nintendo's sales are such shit as well. Never anything good on sale just those shitty cheap cash in games. Even if Nintendo puts their games on sale, they only take $5-$10 off. Cheap pricks. Meanwhile on PSN, Xbox Live, and Steam(of course counting GOG and Humble Bundle), they always have awesome sales and the games on sale are sold for cheap especially the good games.

Nintendoclub made me feel less guilty because I had free games and discounts by buying digital games at higher price.
anyway since I'm not filthy rich I can't afford a nintendo console+59,99+tax games.
PSN was really bad not too long ago. Thankfully at least since the launch of PS4 they have regular flash sales

?? I still dont get the
>there are not enough Nintendo Switches
There are like 4 lying around at the local media markt and nobody gives a fuck.
And I live in a big city

>yfw you realize the only reason nintendo isn't losing money is because they severely cut down on their manufacturing

Japan is severely lacking in Switch units.

Take the ones from UK sitting on shelf and send it there

Don't forget that Nintendo literately charges developers more money if they want a higher volume of memory. That's why LA Noire is more expensive on the Switch compared to the PS4.

is it true? I doubt it

It is. The 32gig+ cards are more expensive and games like LA Noire that were announced yesterday for the Switch will be more expensive on there.

Well I believe him because on 3DS, the price of several Atlus games is $50 dollars rather than $40 because they have to use carts with bigger memory due to all the audio and voicing Atlus loads the game with

I don't give a fuck.
Got my switch, got my odyssey preorder and a comfy blanket.

I understand larger SD is more expensive but where is the part nintendo charges more? they charge more what? royalty fee?

Did Apple buy all the Chinese slave assembly lines or something?

>sd card
he's talking about game cartridges which need to be bought from nintendo

Nintendo is run by Yakuza. Something deeper is happening
What is he doing? did he really rush Switch? why?
Does he know what he is doing? is he using Nintendo to launder money from Yakuza porn+drugs+gun trafficking?

But that doesn't happen today with the Switch or is nintendo selling their own SD card to developers/publishers?

physical switch games are on a proprietary cartridge that nintendo sells to devs, not an sd card

Seriously? Fuck it's worse than I thought. N64 all over again.

>n64
nes, snes, gameboy, gba, ds, and 3ds all use proprietary cartridges sold by nintendo to devs, they've been doing this from the beginning

Can you imagine if someone ever leaked the alleged Yakuza dealing with Nintendo to the public? That'd destroy their "family friendly" image for good.

Seems kind of clickbait-y to pull a headline like "Nintendo president can't promise enough Switch units for holiday season" from Reggie saying "Are we going to have enough for the holiday? That’s what we are focused on."

Yakuza are smart they would never allow a leak or anything that took place in recent times. It's not like Italian or Jewish/Russian mafia.
At the end of the day all companies are front of underground operations. Maybe NIntendo is laundering for a japanese bank, maybe Sony is doing the same. Perhaps even the shadow government use those companies to launder the profit from drug trade/illegal products

>The Quick Reference Guide is the back of the coverart
that's actually pretty cool

>Quick Reference Guide
>things even children laugh at
>terrible drifting explanation
It would be better to have a nice art or some text about the game

Did the Sony PlayStation have these shortages during its first year? If I recall that system sold 1M in its first 24hrs in North America and was in far higher demand at the time. What the hell is going on with Nintendo? Why can't I get a Switch by holiday?

Ass opposite for me

Eager to sell it when holidays kick in fuck nintendo.

Because it is. This board will completely ignore gay bullshit practices like artificial scarcity by way of Nintendo, then have the nerve to call out other groups for doing equally bad or even more shitty business practices

Keep in mind that if they had waited a few more months, they would have way more launch titles, It only had one Launch title and it wasn't even exclusive

Really? An appeal to fucking instructions booklets?

To be fair, those instructions are literally all you need to play the game, the shit those PS4 games got is just icing on the cake for buying those games. Not only that, those PS4 games are niche japanese games, the cheaper prices are selling points for them there's no excuse for the Dragon Quest one though

Why does that matter? No one is forced to buy it at launch. It doesn't make a difference for people who waited. It's psychological and irrational.
