Wont debate any longer with you nintendo fans. Sorry but you all are just to delusional. I would love to see what you all wrote about the wii u before. I gues something similar to this delusional stuff now... lol

LMAO...I'm a nintendo fan..just not delusional.

I was there for the NES...Super Nintendo,  (Nintendo PSX)N64, Wii, and Wii U...the craziness was't as strong as it is now. But to be fair to them....The switch is Nintendo last ditch effort of combine mobile and non mobile gaming.  I feel Nintendo themselves will give up on the NS before the fans do unless we seem some better game releases. I really don't want to see the Nintendo game system end up in the teen and younger genre and be a kiddie system.

Talk about psychological projection. Do you even understand the concept of this thread? You're arguing that Switch will be a failure even though it's selling on pace with some of the best-selling consoles of all time.

At least the Wii U predictions were made before the console released. We're 9 months and 10 million units into Switch's lifecycle. You have no excuse.

What are you guys end of year prediction for Wii switch? 12 ...14 million end of year?...
i'm thinking maybe 10 11...and then a drastic decrease after that until a new killer game is release.

Also, hahaha. It's not often that a prediction gets destroyed within 24 hours.

You may have said it somewhere, but I probably just missed it

How much do you think the Switch will sell LT?

 

Just purely out of curiosity, I won't argue with your predictions

It's too early for LT sales talk. I won't get that feel for another few months...I predicted that it would sell maybe 10- 12 by new years day 2018 and that's only because the gaming market is larger now then it was in 2012(wii U release)....I'm happy that its getting a good install base...but library needs to improve. I still feel that there is a 50-60 million or more world wide demand for gaming systems $220 and below that hasn't been filled yet and I don't see Nintendo's place there yet especially if the price of a ps4 and xbox1 comes down. I just don't see the appeal of Nintendo to the hardcore or casual gaming community just yet. Maybe more towards mobile..but that's a different bag of cats.

I haven't seen a lot of in-person hype at any gamestop, bestbuy, resale stores, Walmarts or other forums besides here. When I see no in-store hype i'm talking about multiple store across multiple cities multiple times of the month in cities like Chicago Indy Vegas, Detroit, Orlando. So if you think i'm just going down the street to my local gamestop and coming back an expert...sorry you are mistaken.   Most of the time the guys in the stores when asked about the switch are like..."yeah a lot of moms are buying them for their younger kids...and maybe a couple of hardcore NES fans"  But most people want to put 200 bucks towards a hand full of new ps4 games or xbox x. By this summer...well see what the resale prices are on the switches...that will tell you more then you would think.   Resale is where I knew the Wii U was gonna die to the week...the interest in used systems plummeted and after that you could tell by the way people talked casually in game stores of what was going down.

For this year? I don't know, 13 million I guess. 15 million by the end of the fiscal year.

you are arguing about 11 or 13 million by new years.......are you being serious right now?



1: I always go to all sorts of cities and check out games...i also know people that work at multiple cities...they will give you the scoop.

2: oh boy ....you really messed this one up ...where do you think they gets those stats from? and how?

Nintendo expects to ship 16.74 million by the end of the FY. At the current pace, they'll probably exceed that. I'll give it a nice, round 17.0 million.

Also, this thread is going places. 



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
