Okay guys, these are rumours. We've seen countless ever since Nintendo opened their mouth about the NX. Now I'd like everybody to tone down a little and breathe, and wait for January 12th. It doesn't serve anyone or anything to panic, express your resentment or act silly while there has been 0 confirmation about whether these reports are true.

NX rumours are the blood that runs within this website's veins. NX rumours are love, NX rumours are life.

And NX rumours are death. It may heat up passions but this is getting out of hand and I won't allow people to act cocky and disrespectful.

Even if you removed the entire Wii U userbase from the equation the's still 60m people left in the userbase to sell to, if we say that every Wii U owner has a 3DS that would still leave around 47m roughly the same amount as the SNES total which is obviously still higher than every console that came after it bar the Wii, in fact only Playstation platforms and the 360 have sold more than that.

A hybrid device tbh makes the portable side far more significant than the home console side, as troubled as the Wii U has been the portable side of things have been really good for 3DS owners.

60million. What was the last one? 150million.

Right now, as the market moves, every costumer counts for them.

150m is the highest selling platform of all time so that's a poor argument as only the PS2 compares with that, 60m would also mean they've outsold all their previous consoles barring 2 (NES and Wii).

Every customer counts for all companies as console sales are down from last gen and will likely finish lower, 60m is a big success for any company especially with the type of attach rate they're gaining now days and the way the market is today, the only competitor to the 3DS sold 14m for reference.

We still don't know of those 60-47million are going to upgrade to Switch. And I doubt Nintendo is aiming to just get that as they want to improve this gen when they are definitely not very successful.

This is NOT a delay, they said 2017 and 2017 has 365 days.

I know. I even pointed many times about this game being only 2017, but was expecting them to make something right in this case but I guess it was asking to much to the little Nintendo.

Well, chill out, they are doing it fine, unless you want to play with the game unfinished and full of bugs as the other companies, like the not so little EA. I like my little Nintendo.



Mario would be a much better pack-in title imo..

Splatoon is the next big Nintendo franchise. People better get used to it. It's going to be big in Japan especially, much moreso than Zelda.

Fans will forget about Zelda delays moment game is launched. User base depends mostly of how much is good and apeling platform itself, Switch will definitely have much higher user base than Wii U. Also you forgetting that Switch is aiming 3DS owners also and other people who didnt had WiiU, not just 13m Wii U owners.

 

 

To be fair Skyrim is remaster of old game and its already out on other platforms, IMO it's important title for Switch but definitely not key launch title, Splatoon remaster will be great game for evrebody who didnt had Wii U (imagine sales of Switch Splatoon bundle in Japan), new 3D Mario like launch title is very strong system seller and probably biggest Switch launch games but actually for now only new game for launch, definitely we will have at least one or two more new Nintendo games for launch and of course multiply other 3rd party games.

I doubt many fans will forget about the delays. I can see the Wii version selling higher than expected.

You will bet many of 13m Wii U owners will forget about delay because they are were aware thats is biggest game that Nintendo ever worked on with one of biggest world in games ever, and because its Zelda and in Zelda almost everything has to be perfect, not to mention that actually many Wii U owners will actually buy Switch version of game.

Also, Zelda not being Switch launch game isn't delay, Nintendo for Zelda stated just 2017. year of release.

Because when comes to Zelda, it's personal for him. :D

Have to assume Zelda will be delayed until holidays, maybe within first 2 wks of Nov. '17 at the earliest.

Rumour specifically saying that will be launched few months after Switch launch, so we dont assume that will be November games, much better chances is that will be May title.

Of Course, but Nintendo is aware that new 3D Mario will sell great outside of bundle especially at launch. Same could be said for Zelda BotW, people relly dont need to expect that Zelda BotW will be bundled.

You still don't get the point you earliar were arguing about the Wii U userbase, that 60-47m makes them not as significant because in theory if they all left and every 3DS owner buys a switch Nintendo would have matched/outsold the SNES, or even matched the NES if all 60m buy it. Nintendo aren't looking at it the way you are they're likely looking at the switch as a combined userbase which is probably why 3DS owners are having it good right now as Nintendo likely is more focused on them migrating over. Despite some people complaining a number of Wii U owners in reality would still migrate over, if Switch is priced right I can see it grabbing some non Wii U console gamers as well.

Selling 60-47m on a new hybrid device is an improvement over this gen they would have outsold all but 2 of their previous, they'd have a significant userbase in both portable and home markets again. It would be one 60-47m that they can fully focus and build on for every future gen.

Yes, packing Splatoon is actually very smart, Splatoon Switch bundle will be huge in Japan for instance.

We know Zelda was not delayed because of polishing.

We don't have to do the same dance every time. Also, this time we don't know how much people is willing to upgrade and buy the Switch version considering how they did on Wii U.

60-47 million is pretty healthy for the homecosole market, but for the handheld one is low.
