Since you quoted them, even if they delete it, it still remains visible in the quote.

I did change it quz i indeed forgot that rule, but if i still get banned even when i fixed the mistake i made then so be it haha.

Yeah, its best that way. The fact that you dont wanna acknowledge that the current videogame economic situation for the consumers is way worst than it was on 6th-7th gen just proves that you cant give any significant contribution for this thread. Bye!

Seems like an unnecessarily petty response. For one, they never even mentioned PS2 so not sure why you brought it up and nothing they said is incorrect. At this stage, it should be entering the bargain bin, not getting a price increase after 8 years.

You guys are all going to get thread banned for talking about you know what. Im not even going to say it because i don't want to join you

Technically, I’m not talking about it, I said I don’t know why he brought it up.

For current genn systems sure,not for switch thou,that system is crazy cheap compared to current genn.

Covid helped it a lot to,and so did the massive 2 years shortages of the 5.

Facts.

Still not cheap as a whole and will only get worse.

NEX playground is around the same price as Switch LITE. There are many entertainment devices that are way cheaper than Switch. You can find countless pen drives filled with retro games for dirty cheap and pretty easy to install now that all the TV's have USB entry. You can download Genshin Impact for free on your smartphone and be entertained for years.

The videogaming options outside the big 3 have developed a lot in those 20 years and with a way more acessible pricing

And you really think that 230$-400$ pricetag in 2020's is in no way more intimidating than a <150$ device in the end of 2000's? Give me a break and get with your facts straight

One thing to take into account with the year on year drops is that, at the last calendar year there was roughly a difference of 2 million between shipped verses sold. Now that the Switch has been replaced that difference should be somewhere between 0.5m to 0.75m (it doesn't make sense that it's still 2m, that's probably close to a full years stock at this point). So if Nintendo reaches a shipped figure of 4m like they're expecting for the calendar year, then their real sales for the last year are probably going to be somewhere between 5m to 5.5m. (The fact that they had stock issues only a couple of weeks ago would also suggest that they're not holding onto as much inventory as before).

Hey, flash, the discrepancy is owing to imports from Japan. 

It's no coincidence that the cheap Japanese version of ns2 is region locked... 

1.7m difference between sold - shipped and indeed facing shortages lately, partially fixing them with restocking the "expensive" oled... 

Let's wait for the next FY forecast, if Nintendo expects 2.5m 1.5m drop from last years, it will exceed ps2.

156.22+2.5m= 158.77 only needing 1.4m then to attain it.

Suspense is growing.

It depends to the probable price hike of NS2 (and if they rush a Ns2 oled lite release)...

Then again, how many times Nintendo came short on their forecasts? It will be better sign than 1.5M for sure. But the forecast alone doesn't guarantee it, unless it's way higher than expected such as 3.5M (in which case coming short will still guarantee at least 2.5M).

Things I'll be keeping a close eye on this year will be:

what guidance, will they give for the next fiscal year and what will be the year on year drops for Switch after June. As then we will be comparing the Switch in a more like for like scenario. As every month after June will be comparing the Switch as the secondary console rather then like now where this time last year it was still nintendos primary console.

I hope everything is ok with ROL and that he is so sure that NS will complete the road, so he is lurking to come back officially then!
