Forums - Nintendo Discussion - The Switch 2 is in trouble IMO

 

Is the Switch 2 in troubles?

Yes 33 33.00%
 
No 67 67.00%
 
Total:100

Shadows has had zero sale numbers, give it a rest. You lot suggested veilguard did well; loved how that turned out. But anyway back on topic, I expect the Switch 2 to do at 80m - 100m.

It will outsell Wii U way before it completes one year in the market

How can anyone non-ironically believe this is a new Wii U? The fuck



People are really overstating the price increase.

At this point in its life, PS4 was $299-399 depending on model while PS5 is $449-699 depending on model and pretty much keeping pace with PS4 sales.

At this point, Xbox One was $299-499 depending on model while Xbox Series is $299-499 depending on model and is not keeping pace with Xbox One sales.

The one with a big price increase is close to matching last generation sales while the one with the same price is not doing as well as last generation.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I disagree by the very nature it has 2 in the title it can’t possibly be a Wii U situation. Hell, I’m willing to bet it’ll outsell the Wii U in its first year. Online outrage is the most fake thing there is. 

Nintendo just got my £480, Console + the new pro controller pre orders secured. Gimme gimme gimme gimme 🤤

You cannot say bad things on a predominately Nintendo fan website. You opinion will likely be shunned and be told how wrong you are.

It will sell a bucket load on release like all consoles do on their release days; however, the game prices are what will destroy it. £75 quid for a game, on your bike Nintendo. Maybe the Americans do not have a standard of living crisis? The UK and Europe most certainly do and only the wealthy (or dumb) are going to pay those prices. I will stick to PC gaming where you short term expenses really do work out for the long term.

isn't this a free world/market and place? be defined as Dumb for wanting to buy a game is really unnecessary. Whoever decides to buy the game at any price is their choice.

I am happy! Confirmed Switch 2 will be king... same bad feedbacks given at the time of Switch release.

Also, as someone pointed it out, NES games were soooo expensive.... and yet people got them....

Switch 2 is able to play Switch 1 games.
So you think, great, its more powerfull maybe it can run them at more consistant fps, or resolutions? or there is some patch you download and it runs better! right?
Yeaah.... guess what? You pay for that.  Upgrade Packs are what they call them (ei. small patches for games, that others would give out for free).

I have to push back at this point. All the upgrade packs shown in the direct contained substantial upgrades far more than resolution upgrades. They had new modes, additional content, support for new control schemes and so on. That is DLC, just hardware specific DLC.

I have no doubt that Switch games played on Switch 2 see more stable framerate and better resolution (many have dynamic resolutions anyway).

I can never count out Nintendo being successful. But the pricing of the console and games look pretty crazy. Especially in Europe.
Here's what it costs in Sweden.

Everything indicates it doing very well so far. Only behind MH Wilds in Week 1 revenue this year and already in Top 5 best sellers of the year despite only selling for 11 days as of that post.

Gaming was tiny back then though, big difference.
