| Soundwave said: The Switch already is a success, and frankly I've played a lot of great games on "failed consoles" too, so why should I care. The next Mario Kart is going to come either way, I'd rather play it on a 4K console. Simple as that. You might have a point with that if "bigger userbase" actually meant "well you get way better 3rd party games", but that isn't the case with Nintendo systems anyway, Switch can sell double what it has and it still wouldn't get a lot of software because it's still too much of a pain in the ass to port. Whereas with a Switch 2 there's a fairly reasonably possibility that games like Street Fighter VI and Resident Evil 4 Remake would be in play. It isn't really even the case that Nintendo some how "tries harder" on systems that sell more. They don't, they've made plenty of great games on some of their lower selling consoles. They're going to make quality games either way, so that isn't really a factor either. Like I'm pretty sure there is going to be a Mario Kart 9 at some point, is it really a benefit to me that I play that on Switch instead of a Switch 2? No, the version of the game on a Switch 2 would be better. If Nintendo chooses to make a bunch of stupid design/marketing/hardware or software/release decisions with the Switch 2 and it declines from Switch 1, that's on them. Get better at hardware transitions, get your shit together with better preparation, stop making excuses, that's all there is to hardware transitions, it's not some kind of elusive magic trick. |
Then it would be fair to sum up your stance as "Wii U or Switch level sales, makes no difference in the end."
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
