Lol, people don't want a Switch? It will be a top 5 all time greatest selling console ever.... maybe top 3.

They want a Nintendo home console, but they don't have a choice. It won't even beat the Xbox 360 in North America. Not really interested in what they buy in Japan.

No, but it will beat the ps4 in NA and likely be top 5 all time in NA.

If you don't like the switch, fair enough... but the thing is a monster.  Just accept it.

Not too mention:

A) the switch is a home console, I rarely take it out of the dock

B) the switch will outsell, in NA, all Nintendo home consoles....  with the exception of the Wii it already has passed Nintendo home consoles.

Yet you have just been posting in the Japanese sales thread... Hmmmm!

"ps5-nearly-outsells-switch-global-hardware" is the thread... it's all the Switch boosters that are in the wrong place

It's fine, it is it's own market, for children, and portables, it has no competition. It is also based on brand loyalty, while most people just enjoy games instead of brands. 80 percent of gaming is on home consoles and PCs but you wouldn't know it from all the obsessive Switch loyalty around here... I'm mainly irritated that the great Nintendo has fallen so low. 10 years with Gamecube graphics. 10 years of PS3 level graphics (Wii U plus Switch). 20 years later, kind of tired of waiting for Nintendo to just release something decent. Series S level even.

Back up your claim with some kind of proof.

Odd, given I'm 40 and play 100% docked, same with my brother.  Not too mention is has some of the highest rated games of the generation.

You appear to hate the switch and are angry because the masses don't agree.

So much angst against Nintendo...

I don't hate it. I'm not ridiculing it. I think it is bad and it is a sad fall from grace for Nintendo, as they exited the home console market. And I think most gamers agree. And I'm glad to see the supply of the Xbox and PS are improving and now they are outselling the Switch 2 to 1, as home consoles should. And the Switch is sitting on the shelves at my Bestbuy, as it should. And the Switch is ridiculously more expensive than the PS and Xbox overall if you include an actual controller. Facts. Stop boosting an overpriced underperforming product, and recognize that a majority of gamers are not interested in it. 

Nobody likes it when marketing and a lack of common sense push a bad product at a high price. Feels like corporate abuse, get on the consumer's side instead.

over 90 Million sales in 4.5 years. "Underperforming."

Well I'm not going to argue all day.  I'll simply say I don't get your point about 2 consoles combined outselling 1 means something.  That is just silly.

And at 90,000,000 sold and counting....  clearly Nintendo is on the side of consumers.  People love the switch, regardless of your personal feelings.

One of the all time greatest selling consoles...  conclusion, gamers don't like it.  Nonsensical.
