Nintendo didn't need to advertise in the super bowl for Wii and that was their most successful home console ever. All this is, is a waste of millions that could be used for better purposes. 5 million for 30 seconds isn't worth it. This is half the goal for Shenmue 3. Think about that.

That's pretty riddiculus logic. Wii didn't need a Super Bowl ad, therefore a Super Bowl Ad is a waste of money. You know what else the Wii didn't need? Core gamers. Good online. Voice Chat. A traditional controller layout. Doesn't mean they wouldn't benefit other products.

I don't think it is. Super Bowl ads are a shameful waste. People don't actually watch ads for the product. They watch the ads for the humor. A Swiitch ad won't have a real impact on the sales considering the device is already sold out and this isn't what people watch superbowl ads for. Your average consumer might look at the ad, maybe look at the nintendo site and if they try to preorder and get turned down, shrug and walk away. Nintendo can't meet demand as it is. Its a waste to advertise now.
