| The_Liquid_Laser said: Switch 2 has been a pretty big screw up so far. People have complained about the prices the most, but I actually think the game key cards are even worse. Nintendo is harming their reputation with people on these two things. Mario Kart looks like a good game, but that's the only one. There isn't a lot of reason to buy a Switch 2. It's true that Switch 2 sales have been strong so far, but I think they are benefitting from all of the positive good will created by the Switch. This launch reminds me of the negative missteps of the 3DS and Wii U. Obviously those two systems sold very differently from each other, but neither one sold nearly as well as their predecessor. I don't know what Switch 2's lifetime sales will be, but I don't think it's going to come close to the Switch. They are creating too much bad will with their customer base right now. |
lol comparing Switch 2 to Wii U and 3DS launches is laughable.
Donkey Kong Bananza is a great game too, it's not just Mario Kart World. Cyberpunk 2077 and Star Wars Outlaws are very good games, even Madden NFL and NBA 2K are probably the best portable sports games ever (FC Soccer too I suppose).
The only reason the Switch was even close is because it got to essentially borrow/steal Breath of the Wild from Wii U. The transition to Switch 2 is better IMO.
Switch 2 is above expectation hardware power wise too, it's the best hardware Nintendo has put out relative to what else is available since the GameCube. Being able to run 3rd party PS5 games like Star Wars Outlaws even with ray tracing on and acceptable performance is an outstanding results and definitely beyond expectations from 1-2 years ago here and the system is just getting started.
Wait till it has Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Indiana Jones, Resident Evil 9, Halo, Forza on top of the next Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, Zelda are out etc. It's going to beat the Switch 1 handily IMO. The 3rd party games it can get are going to tip the scales significantly. The next gen Xenoblade on this thing is going to be bonkers.
