I see my earlier "releasing some game might help" quote ruffled some feathers. All i meant was im getting a little sick of Wii u ports and lazy ass cash grabs like super mario 3d all stars. I want a new Mario, New Zelda, new Mario Kart, an actual new IP. Have nintendo made a good new IP for Switch yet? Xbone has had sunset overdrive, PS days gone,horizon, and ghost.


Arms and Astral Chain.

Nintendo owns the rights to it much like Sony does Bloodborne.

Astral Chain. Best new IP this gen if you ask me.

I never played it (as I don't own a switch yet), but it looks like an interesting game. I can't help, but notice how the extra dimension the Chimera came from looks an awful lot like the Vex world in Destiny tho.

...by not making a Switch 2 and continue to support the Switch with games.

Well I never played Destiny, so I can't say much to that. Its a fantastic game though so I'd definitely recommend it if you get a Switch.

-Nintendo own Astral Chains IP.

-Bold: you didn't like it doesn't mean it was bad.

By not naming the Switch 2 "2" and ad the sales to Switch 1

Just two things really:
1. Produce 150M copies of it.
2. Manage to sell all of them.

This man is a fucking genius.

Nothing special.  Nintendo is currently on track to sell 160-170m Switch units lifetime.  All they need to do to achieve this is 1) keep releasing games, 2) for hardware they need price cuts, revisions and bundles at the appropriate time, and 3) release the Switch successor when Switch sales get down to only several million a year.  In other words: nothing special.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
