| Nuvendil said: Well, I gotta say that it's hilarious seeing what a brawl the sales threads have become with the Switch being successful. Nearly every thread where Switch wins in sales is overrun within days by the spin brigade, quite funny really. And is doubly hilarious when you consider when the Switch *doesn't* win but just has good sales, it's all high fives and congratulations. Oh, and posting here to stay out of the shit show. Much better view from the outside :P But on a more on topic note, got the Switch version of Xenoverse 2. Seems like a good port. And since I didn't get the first game, I personally feel I got good bang for my buck with the Xenoverse 1 story being free DLC. I'll probably grab Pokken later in the year. |
Not sure how things on VGC were during the Wii's early days as I only used to pop in once in a while back then but on Gametrailers sales became a declaration of war, we had one thread that predicted the Wii would outsell the 360 in its first year and the was outrage, the funny thing is the Wii went on to do exactly that in one year and the was open warfare on the boards with one user uploading a user video of himself having a meltdown over it because initially a lot of people wrote the Wii off expecting a failure when that failure never came a few held their hands up and said ok I was wrong while the rest started the spin cycle to assure themselves.
What you're seeing with the Switch is exactly that people wrote it off and when it didn't flop one group said ok and the others can't accept it yet so are looking for spins to assure themselves, I'll predict it now when Pokemon arrives the spin doctors are going to stop targeting sales as a focal point and start trying to look for some other notion to grab on to and spin afterall it's what happened to the Wii when people realize it was going to keep selling.
On topic, never managed to pick up Pokken on Wii U so might pick it up in the coming months.
