I'm so confused, is Nintendo shipping 14 or 18 million Switches the first fiscal year?

They shipped 2.7 million in the last fiscal year (April 2016-March 2017) and will ship 14 million for the current fiscal year (April 2017-March 2018).

You're in the Amazon USA topic here buddy. 

Also let Sony lose money by selling their PS4s at $200, Nintendo will make bank this holiday. 

PS4 has no remarkable holiday titles this year while the Switch has Super Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

And of course the XOX sales are dropping, it's sold out... 

they won't lose much money selling it at 200, they are still making a lot by selling the system with PS PLUS and game software. 

 

I believe the ps4 is cheaper to make than the switch also

Also consider the ps4 has:

STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2

DESTINY 2

ASSASSINS CREED ORIGINS

A BETTER VERSION OF SKYRIM

A BETTER VERSION OF LA NOIRE

HORIZON ZERO DAWN RE LAUNCH WITH THE DLC 

GRAN TURISMO SPORT

PLAYSTATION VR

I can go on and on..... 

with deals on UNCHARTED, RESIDENT EVIL, KINGDOM HEARTS, HORIZON, CRASH BANDICOOT..... it makes the system an easy choice...... I;m not saying it's going to outsell or destroy the switch in sales world wide.... I'm simply stating I don't think the switch is going to dominate the ps4 this holiday season in the west. 

 

and no the XBOX ONE X is completely in stock on amazon, and everywhere else..... it has not sold out.... 

FOR THE LAST TIME, It’s not in stock. Only third parties are selling it.

also, “a better version of skyrim and la.noire” is completely subjective.

and wow, PSVR, totally a huge system seller, amarite?

(not that I’m agreeing with akiblades, since the rest of your points are completely fine)



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

in stock 

 

and it's crazy how portability automatically makes the switch the best system in your eyes..... 

 

that's not the only thing that matters.... PSN vs no online interface on the switch.... 

having actual social interaction and connection with friends through an organized online social network is important.... vs having a social security for ur ID on a Nintendo system. 

 

but I am not talking about that, yes the ps4 versions are superior..... it's like saying a wii u version of nba 2k 18 is better than the ps4 version because it's portable now? LOL it definitely is not.....

The best console version of Skyrim is portable, so on the Switch. ;) If you're talking about Skyrim VR, it's actually a terrible version, so don't get your hopes up. Skyrim is best on the PC anyway, with all the available mods. 

Gran Turismo Sport? You mean the game that received mediocre reviews and bombed in Japan and didn't even chart in the USA?

Playstation  VR? Again, poor sales. 

Horizon: Zero Dawn re-launch with DLC? Zelda DLC is coming up as well and received better reviews and is selling better at full price than Horizon at $40.

A better version of LA Noire? Yeah, because that will really push any system this holiday... lol. Also the gyro controls to aim would actually make the Switch version vastly superior, I'm  not even taking into account the portability here. 

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (hurrah for pay to win loot-boxes!), Destiny 2 and Assassins Creed: Origins are just sequels to AAA games, those will hardly push any sales this holiday.

Switch will receive portable Skyrim, Rocket League, Rime, LA Noire, Resident Evil: Revelations Collection, Zelda new story DLC and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The games won't be the problem for the Switch, just the stock availability. 

And as you can see for yourself, Skyrim on Switch is tracking pretty well on Amazon. 

3rd party game library....

conversation is over.... 

 

you cannot compare the switch line up with the ps4..... at all.... you legit have no argument.... my argument is the ps4 has a vastly superior games line up and is going to be $100 cheaper than the switch.... so therefore that is going to factor in for overall sales....

 

STAR WARS is huge.... and will sell millions.... COD is huge and will sell millions.... it doesn't matter what your opinion on the money grabbing system is.... these games push hardware.... and they aren't on the switch this year....

Wow, Youre just full of yourself. Just because portability doesn’t matter to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter to other people. 

 

Edit: yeah, the normal version is up for pre-order, shipment will arrive tomorrow.

I never said that, I'm saying just because the game is portable doesn't mean it's the better version..... that's like saying the PSP version of little big planet was better than the ps3 version because it was portable.....

 

switch is half a gen or more behind in specs.... you aren't going to get a portable ps4 experience on the go.... but then again, you don't need a horizon zero dawn level game visually, zelda is one of the best gaming experiences of the generation.....

 

my argument isn't whether or not the switch can have good AAA HD experiences... my argument is that I blieve because of the library and the superior versions of games and because it's going to be much cheaper and maybe more widely available..... the ps4 should be set to outsell or do similar numbers to what the switch may do this holiday season.....
