I am back again to complain about the state of this forum… specifically pertaining to sales discussion. Reading these comments about how “PS5 just OWNED Switch 2 during November!!” or “Man, I deserve some apologies. I was right about Switch 2 flopping” is about to give me an aneurysm. Switch 2 literally outsold NS1 November 2017, has smashed 200k/wk in JP these past two weeks (thereby continuing to outpace NS1 December 2017, when a supply bottleneck was broken and 4mil units sold), and PS5 literally saw YoY (and PS4 launch-aligned) WW declines during November.

Erg… well. That’s my tangent lol. Anyways, I might give Kirby Air Riders some time today. The latest event apparently gives you a Santa hat! (I’m not gonna throw the opportunity to get a Santa hat in Kirby Air Riders.)

There's only like two people on here running with that narrative though. Just ignore them lol. Switch 2 is doing fine in EU/JPN this holiday so far, it's just USA that's not great, but it's not been for anyone.

Brother Zippy, it is the entire US sales thread and the two EU articles.

...but you are right. I really do just need to ignore these people. Easier said than done though:/ Ah

But you are right. I need to ignore these people because o/w I’m just gonna move fully over to ResetEra. Easier said than done though

Flamed you? You mean this? https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=9630816

Relax man, the article comments are often awful I don't read those much. The US sales thread it's a couple of recent posts but generally it's people saying everything is awful.

(Dang I wasn’t expecting you to pull up receipts haha!) Ah I think flaming is hyperbolic lol. I think I’m just stressing myself out. I need a break from this site today. I’ll get back to my Clair Obscur/Kirby playthroughs.

The way things are going I can definitely see myself buying a lot more third party titles on Switch 2 vs Switch 1, both due to more games coming across in general, and a generally higher technical standard for demanding ports.

I own 42 third party titles on Switch 1; in the first 6 months of Switch 2 I already have 7.

Goes to say that actually having a more substantial 3rd party support in its first year definitely contributes to the library feeling more complete from the get go.

A Santa hat ? Gosh jolly, I'm getting back at it tonight !

Considering the posters that are giving a"hard time" to the Switch successor performance last month despite the actual comparative facts going in its favor, can't say I'm surprised at their behavior really.

Unfortunately for the last years trolling/downplaying Nintendo seems to get a free pass, and there are multiple users who dedicate their time here to doing that pretty much exclusively.

It's best to just ignore and not engage, they're just sad losers with Nintendo Derangement Syndrome.

The system is still doing fine; the US market may be in a bad place for consoles in general right now, but Switch 2 is still set to blow passed Nintendo's initial 15m estimate for the FY and possibly even still reach their raised estimate of 19m. Just enjoy your console and stick with those of us who keep things real.
