Switch has been my main platform since it came out and I bought a lot of third party games for it, these guys just need to be patient. I'm not made of money, for Christ's sake. That said, I did get Street Fighter 6 a week after launch because I wanted something other than Mario Kart.

>>713091453
The Switch 2 sold 3.5 million units in 4 days and outpaced every other console by magnitudes.
That’s 3.5 million “people” who spent $500 on a system with PS4 specs, 1 game, a future library of $80 games that are digital only, and still has stick drift too.
What do you think?

It's not exactly series s specs due to the CPU limitations and battery life. Hopefully nintendo's next platform would have a CPU more powerful than a series X and have better than Xbox one X graphics horsepower in both RAM bandwidth and GPU rendering.

>>713091950
You mean like Nintendo?
>>713091959
Yeah, anyone would be reasonably upset when hearing about how people vote with their wallets for the worse.
Because you retards gave overprice hardware and overpriced games with cut content a standing ovation, companies are now going to copy Nintendo by releasing even shittier games at a higher price on consoles that are gonna be stuck in gen 8.

>>713090769 (OP)
It’s way too early to be making any definitive determination on whether 3rd party will do well on the switch 2 given the system’s only been out for 2 weeks and these 3rd-party games are mostly ports of older games. Worth talking about yea, but it’s nothing to freak out over

Xbox never had games, that's why it comes in last every console gen

Did they ever fix the bullshit loop to get the true ending?

>>713093649
I don't think any console will ever beat the switch for multiple generations.
The only reason the PS2 has more sales is because a third of its sales were because it was a DVD player that undercut the cost of DVD players early on and later on Sony started dropping off millions of leftover PS2s in 3rd world shitholes for like $5 a pop to get rid of the parts they had sitting around

As much as I want to believe that, I don't think it's true. Normies are too stupid to know the difference.

really nigga?

Why would people buy inferior 3rd part switch ports?

Buy it on PC and you get desktop and laptop / steam deck for portable.

Why would anyone bother buying physical on the Switch? (Either one.)

Most games available on PS5 are available on Xbox. And nearly all games shown in the last State of Play will come out on Xbox.
Reality of the situation is that porting games is easier than ever and it makes no sense to miss out on potential revenue. Even if games sell less on platform B than they do on A it doesn't justify skipping platform B.

As far as Switch support is concerned: Switch has more games on it than PS4, PS5, Xbox One or Xbox Series. Switch 2 will most likely get lots of games, especially indies and ports of PS4 era titles. Now as far as current-gen games are concerned, it will vary on a case by case basis. Reality of the situation is that certain games that wereade for PS5 might not be able to run on Switch 2 due to CPU limitations.

>>713090769 (OP)
rise the price by 15%, get 15% less sales. act surprised that people didnt actually got 15% spare income to give you. shocking.

I forgot to say that sometimes you can justify skipping platform B (at least temporarily) by getting a bag from company A lol. Timed exclusivity paid for by platform holders is still a thing, somewhat

Fellow nintenbro's wtf are you doing? We're supposed to show up the poors by buying $80 ports of five year old third party games! Come on guys we need to buy more third party games for the Switch 2 stat.
Despite paying $10 for Yakuza 0 for steam I know playing it on the Switch 2 will just feel right.

crazy huh?

>>713090769 (OP)
This has been the case with every Nintendo console for 25 years. Tendies are not normal gamers, they don't consume anything outside Nintendo games and in the rare cases the do it has to be IP that are related or similar to existing Nintendo IP. You have to babify your product before bringing it into the bubble.

This is ontop of all these third party games being old as fuck and everyone who isn't a hardcore tendie already played them on a stronger system.

>>713099116
Surely nintendo will change this once they see the backl-

>Snoy nigger still ignoring goy cards and going with his schizo ramblings

...Why do you think third parties ignored Nintendo until the Nintendo Urine released and they could shove shitty waggle shovelware onto it?

>>713091109
I doubt carts will get people to buy Shitcher 2: Assassins of Tendies carts. The simple fact is: Tendies don't buy anything non-Nintendo. So EA/et. al. should just ignore the system as usual.

>>713091306
Who cares if it flops, the developer is dead, they shut down their game studio to focus 100% on middleware tech. I don't want another from whoever made bravely default 2.

>>713092784
Yeah now you're getting it.
I think that everybody forgot that the kids who were 5-10 when the original Switch came out are 13-17 now. If they're getting a Switch 2 they almost definitely have a PS5/Xbox Sex at this point.

Notice how by far the most successful third party is one of the only ones to ship on the cart. All the others flopped because they're game key carts with large mandatory downloads.

>>713099983
It's funny Sega is re-releasing Yakuza 0 (now with extended cutsceness™!) on the system when Yakuza 1-2 HD on the WeeOoo flopped massively.

>>713100591
? I still play my digital 3ds games just fine.

>>713092939
It's not early at all. Everybody acts like the Nintendo ecosystem is wildly different from Sony and Xbox. Like no, there are like 50 million kids with Switches who only play Mario games, and the rest are teens/adults who like Nintendo games that also have a PS5/Xbox/PC. The myth that there are millions of hardcore Switch fans who only play on their Switch and would love to play Hitman if it wasn't for the fact that there isn't a Switch port is retarded

>>713096239
lmao of course not

>>713099983
No. People don't want these third parties because they are game key carts. Cyberpunk's been doing very well as it actually contains the full game on the cartridge.

>>713090769 (OP)
No one buys Nintendo consoles for third party games, PC exist for that.

>>713091343
No but it should have. It’s just so much more convenient to have both the chance to store/sell physical media and also always have a digital copy that will never expire since Nintendo is still lets you download Wii games from 2006.

>>713100674
Are you too stupid to understand the point being made? I still own all the digital pc games I bought prior to the 3ds even existing and they continue to be supported on every new pc I buy, including handhelds like the deck. I don't need to keep my 20 year old pc to play half-life 2.

You have to pray your 3ds doesn't die and when it does you have to pray Nintendo doesn't shut down the servers that allow you to redownload your digital games on a backup 3ds that will cost 7x the price it launched at.

>>713100839
Cyberpunk being the most popular non Nintendo game is not the same as it doing well, it's just doing better than the other games which are selling horribly.

>>713090769 (OP)
nobody is going to touch third party games that use game key cards. chances are someone interested in the current third party games has a pc or playstation they can play those same games on and not have to deal with a format that combines the worst of physical and digital into one

Wow, it's selling faster than a game that sold like shit on the Shitch.

>>713101396
That doesn't tell me anything because tw3 had a disgusting switch port and I have no idea how that sold.

>>713101632
probably because no one is buying the game card keys

it's simple

if you have the cash to splash on a switch 2, you probably already have machinery that can play these rereleases

>>713101186
Ok? All digital switch games are tied to your Nintendo account and Nintendo themselves want that to be the case going forward. I still don't see the problem.

>>713101726
it sold pretty well according to cdprojekt

>>713093534
>Capcom fighters suck ass
This opinion is crazy. Just say you don't like fighters in general.

>>713101478
Most of the games there are on the disc for PS4/PS5 copies. Cyberpunk does require an online download, and Hitman needs the day one patches to not have a significantly worse experience. Everything else works fine without any kind of internet connection.

>>713101852
Lol, Nintendo doesn't decide whether a game is backwards compatible or not, this is a problem even on pc but there you have fans and companies whose entire business model is selling and maintaining old games. On a console you are first beholden to the hardware manufacturer putting in hardware backwards compatibility and if they don't they have to make a software solution that causes issues which then have to be fixed by the developers, this is already happening on switch 2 and that is assuming Nintendo even gives a shit about making a software solution which I highly doubt they will after a gen or two.

Ontop of all this you are stuck playing your old games on the initial settings that were engineered for that outdated piece of hardware where it's often trivial to unlock higher resolutions and frame rates on pc. The only way you could see any equivalence between a license for a single piece of hardware vs a perpetual one that will carry over to every new piece of hardware (likely till you die) is if you're a retarded tendie.

>>713102959
Brother I won't read all that. Just say you only have a PC and move on.

>>713103204
I own a switch, you don't own a pc though. You're a boring corporate cock sucker and a waste of time so I'll accept the bitch concession you just made.

>>713090769 (OP)
It's because they're competing with 1st-party games, which are comparably priced but higher in demand

>>713102043

>>713090769 (OP)
Why would anyone buy these downgraded games on a switch when they are like a quarter the price on pc?

>>713092784
Because {insert literally any game title here} is perfect for the Switch (2).

For fucking 8 years tendies were portbegging non-stop and saying that literally everything would be better on their shitty little tablet because it was portable.

The dumbfucks either were too poor to afford anything else, despite buying every shitty game Nintendo dropped every month, or they loved buying a game twice just to play it on the city bus on their way to work or school because they couldn't afford a car.

>>713098054
>Continuing to cope
COPE.

>>713100674
Yes, and then what happens when your 3DS dies?

That's their point, moron: You have no means to backup those purchases compared to Steam. Hell, with Nintendo actively fighting against Piracy they're sealing that fate even harder than generations before.

>>713090769 (OP)
Most people are fully aware that multi-plats on Nintendo systems tend to be the worse due to weak hardware, so they don't buy them unless they're actual Nintendo cultists that don't own anything else. It also doesn't help that they're usually more money and the games aren't even on the carts now.
Xbox on the other hand is purely because of the weak install base, turns out nobody wants to buy consoles if they don't have good exclusives, which is half of the appeal of them.

We're in the Nintendo greed cycle again where they make poor decisions and fail
A few million consoles sold is nothing if people will actively check which game cart has a key or not
And we know most devs are also greedy as fuck and will opt for keys
Software sales (which drive a console) will be bad
People will sell their overpriced tablet
The only good thing that comes out of this is that Nintendo will be forced to make good games again

>>713090769 (OP)
>(has the game actually on the cart)
Don't give me that bullshit by trying to insinuate that this is the reason why it's selling. Cyberpunk 2077 is currently the best selling 3rd party game because it's Cyberpunk 2077. The overwhelming majority of people have no idea what Game Key Cards are or what they even mean. Maybe for an insignificantly small percentage of people the game being all on the cart made a difference, but to even hint at the idea that 3rd party games aren't selling because of the Game Key Cards is a huge stretch.

SHOCKED

Nobody buys nintendo hardware for third party games. On the switch first party games sold great and indies sold great, its what the user base wants. The people who'd never buy a switch anyway are the guys that are bitching, since the games they want to play are on systems they already own and they will look better on those.
75% of all game sales from devolver are on switch for example and other indies also let know they sold the most on switch by far.

Hell if you'd listen to online discourse, people fucking hate third party AAA, so this is based

>>713091109
Irrelevant considering almost everyone moved to digital only, physical is just a bonus and even if they want to respect that since some scummy fucks (bethesda) just put a download code in the box and call it a day.

>>713106247
Day one switch 2 owners already own a switch 1, with 150mil sold that's not that weird of an idea.
Sonic had a switch 1 version and they didnt let know there was a switch 2 version. Sonic autist bought the switch 1 game on launch and suddenly there's a switch 2 version with no upgrade path.
I WONDER WHY THAT DIDNT SELL

>>713105893
>after the Wii U almost killed the company.
Nintendo always sells hardware at a profit unlike Sony and Microsoft the WiiU might have performed poorly but it never aproached anything near killing the company especially whilst the 3DS was still going strong at the time.

>>713106247
I don't think the issue is the game key cards at all. I think there is a much better chance most people just bought the game on the Switch 1 they already had and didn't double dip on Switch 2 than it having anything to do with game key cards. Again, regular people who aren't here or crawling around on gaming websites and communities even know what game key cards are. That isn't the problem.

Assuming you do not have the Switch 1 game yet and then are presented with the option of a Switch 1 version (game on cartridge) and a game key card - which is more expensive on top of that. Which one would you buy?
Anyway, the game key card right now are an issue exactly because of that. Maybe later their sales will improve once more NSW2 only titles come out.
And collectors, especially for collector games, will flat out refuse to buy them anyway. I bet Disgaea and Trails are still at 100% stock. Also, remember the uproar about Sega putting Raidou on a game key card for a 250$ edition of the game?

>>713107018

If I didn't have a Switch 1 and there's the Switch 2 version right there? I'd buy the Switch 2 version. I see a game I want to buy, I don't already have the game, and it's the version made for console I buy, meaning it's more likely to use the hardware.

>>713091276
Why would that help? I just download all my PS5 games, and I'll download all my Switch 2 games.

>>713091846
80% of those sales were scalpers trying to get some resells. which is why the actual games for the console aren't moving numbers like anybody estimated. just wait till the 2nd quarter sales for the console come out and it's dropped off an absolute cliff. everyone will be wondering why, but you'll know, because i told you. even if you don't believe it yet.

>>713090769 (OP)
I will buy Bravely Default since I missed the original release. I might get Yakuza 0, but I might wait because I have all my other Yakuza games on PS5. But we'll see, I might just get the itch to play it. Maybe when it goes on sale.

The circle pad fell apart on my 3DS. I'd rather play the new HD version anyway.

Xbox problems were the lack of exclusives tho, hence why the platform is dying.

Switch 2 is kinda the opposite of that, hence record breaking sales based off one game (exclusive).

I’ve said this before. Third party has no power. Switch 2 will succeed (or fail) based on Nintendo owns output. They kinda have that sorted out already since the original Switch launch.

I understand the issue game key cards have with the majority of people in dedicated game communities who are into collecting, but if digital games and installing/downloading games hasn't been a problem for PlayStation, Xbox, or PC after all the years they've been doing it, it's not going to be a problem for Nintendo either. You're just saying the same things the Xbox and PlayStation faithfuls were saying when this first started showing up in the 360 and PS3 days. I don't like putting it this way, but you are the minority in this. Game key cards are not that big of an issue to the majority of people.

>>713109697

No, at worst it's a 1GB cartridge and you have to download most of the content from the eshop because the publisher was a greedy fuck.

How many of those third party games are less than a year old? Because just in that image you've got Hitman WoA, which came out in 2016 but if you want to be generous the third season is still four years old. Bravely Default, Sonic Generations, and Yakuza 0 are all over a decade old.

It was baffling how hyped people got for ports of decade old games people got during the Switch era. It was kind of inevitable that you'd get diminishing hype returns on games which, again, are a fucking decade + old. Majority of people who would have bought them on Switch 2 probably played them on one of the various other platforms they've been available on for (once more) a decade.

>>713109746
You cannot have actually posted that image claiming it's better unironically

>>713109845
Only if they actually bothered to make that art or rather those assets in a proper resolution to begin with. It's a filtered, washed out mess when you see it on a proper TV.

It kills a potential Lite but yes, a dock that installs games off a CD onto the Switch 2 would have probably been better because at least they wouldn't need to make games $80 to cover the cartridge cost. It'd also need more than 256gb of storage then though.

There's also Rune Factory as far as an actual console exclusive, and for multiplays theres ff7R, no mans sky, and. Deltarune. Plus unlike the Wii U, the Switch 2 actually has major upgrades for a shit ton of Switch 1 games, like both Zelda games, Splatoon 3, Pokémon S/V, Bayonetta 3 etc. Wii U just played Wii games at 480p and whatever framerate they originally ran at

>This is the fucking Nintendo 64 all over again.
This, but I don't think there's a problem with the carts themselves, just what Nintendo is charging for them. The switch's success has made them cocky, there's no way they're still selling cartidges at a loss to get 3rd party developers in their ecosystem. Rather, they must think developers are so desperate to join to switch ecosystem that they'll pay whatever premium is necessary for it.

Have you seen their financials? Their profit margins are fucking massive now, they're making a fortune. Companies used to compete for market share by selling consoles for cheap (especially after launch) trying to get people in their ecosystem and compensating with software sales, but Nintendo stopped doing that once Iwata died and a literal banker took over. Now they earn a hefty profit on everything, and never lower prices even 5 years later when they can produce the same units for half the cost. After the Switch 1's success, I don't doubt Nintendo is trying to fleece developers too.

>>713111736
False, the Shitch 2 doesn't have any new ways to play like AR. and there is no new exclusive content either.

>>713111802
Its absolutely fucking is. Shit like Black Myth Wukong, nier and Stellar Blade are doing 2 year delays between release and Xbox ports. Its only a matter of time when they stop bothering all together.

>>713109105
When people start running out of space on their Switches 2 I think it's going to be very clear "why" that is. 50GB sized games being installed on a base Switch 2 would eat the 256GB right away. I'm someone who only buys physical and I have 100GB on my Switch 2 without the expensive MicroSD Express just from my Switch 1 collection transfers (patches, DLC to physical games).

Let's run an example since we have retards here. Normalfag buys a Switch 2 without a MicroSD Express and has these games
-Fortnite 36gb
-Mario Kart World 24gb
-FF7 Remake 100GB (yes, I'm not shitting you on Steam/PS4/PS5)
We're at 150GB with just 3 games. And if they transferred Switch 1 games, how high would that be before they're forced to buy those 50+ MicroSD Express cards? Talk about consumer ignorance all you want, but those GameKeyCards and digital size games are going to wreck havoc on the poor base Switch 2 storage space. And unlike regular MicroSDs, these are expensive upgrades.

>>713112090
Sunk cost into game library/friends. Backwards compatibility all the way to OG xbox even though emulation is better and supports all games instead of 40%.

>>713112154

stupid gimmick vs actual NEW gameplay ADDED to Arkham City + Origins
cope

plus no physical release == doesn't count

You would get a point if it was fully on cart AND the stupid always online DRM was removed, but it won't, therefore it will be a worse experience on Shitch 2, because you need 24/7 internet to actually play it.

And it's a checkbox "game" on top of that.

>>713098302
For multiplayer games, maybe, you don't mean to tell me you cycle through several single player games every day, do you?

>>713111990
Black myth and stellar blade are because sony and square enix has acknowledged they were being retards. Also game science is some random who developer in china. You act like EA or someone notable is skipping xbox when it's just random chinks and japanese publishers that sell 10k copies of games.

Nice goalpost move

>>713112306
I've ran out of space on my PS5 and had to delete games multiple times and that has about 800gb. 50-100gb games are the norm, the recent Nioh 3 alpha was 34gb. 256gb of space in the modern day is honestly unacceptable. I don't even use my PS5 much, I only buy timed exclusives on it and 800gb is still fuck all.

>>713113289
And it sold pretty decently, but ultimately its because they're key cards, them being old is only a small part of the problem.

>>713091846
Evidentially they didn’t buy the gamekey card games.

>>713113126
>Random chinks
>10k sales
Like it or not Chinks are the majority playerbase nowadays. Wukong made 30 million sales and Stellar Blade more than doubled the player count of Sony's most popular PC port. The fact that they are rejecting xbox is pretty damning for them.

If the Wiimote and the gay Snoy Dildo controller were the same, RE4 should control as well as RE5 on the Piss3, but that's not the case.

Both uses Dual mice in different shells

>>713090769 (OP)
Might as well, with how censor-happy ninty has been for the last several years, ramped up in the last few especially.

>>713116637
They're both getting the same games. Why do you lie so much?

>>713116927
you are gay
and it's inaccurate as fuck.

>>713117065
Mice are the most accurate gaming peripheral ever created

>>713098302
As opposed to changing discs? Yeah, give the cart.

>>713116965
Mother fucker, you know how many games have the Steam, Switch, and PS logo over the Xbox logo, many. Xbox is just a AAA slop machine. The people that defend it are retarded brand shills.

>>713113217
isps have a grip on everyons balls, and in rural areas 10mbs or less is 60 or 70 a month. this argument means nothing. i had blue one for the longest time pre 2017 and it took at most 2 days to download a big game at that time.

>>713113640
Pretty sure the switch 2 has USB mouse support

>>713117184
false

>>713114704
Which one?

>>713097627
Gamecube?

>>713117495
Pretty sure that the shitch 2 requires you to use $90 shitcons, instead of connecting 2 proper mices for $5.

Playstation however supports USB mice, as it should be.

>>713090769 (OP)
Switch 2 will become the new WII U when third party devs bail out because no one buys they Key card scams.

Its all Nintendos fault for only having 1 64GB card for the Switch 2.

They should have had 3 types of options like switch 1.

Sure, once you break the sensitivity down to the autistic level.

Kinect is better

>>713116057
Anyone that bought nogwarts legacy on switch 1 is a fucking retard, that port is borderline unplayable dogshit

>>713109148
im just so turned off that majoirty of third party is just game key cards. its shitty.

>>713117692
The Wii U had great exclusive games.
The Shitch 2 seems to be getting woke slop only.

>>713117740
the only good thing about that was the artbook.

>>713092465
>overpriced
>>713092585
>more expensive
$80 today is literally less expensive than $60 back when you grandpas started gaming in the 7th gen.

>>713117839
Nintendo, keep telling yourself that.
Good luck with your Shitch.
You will need it.

>>713092072
Maybe if it was $19.99

>>713117827
Yes. But thirt party left the console because of 2 things. 1 .Their games sold worse on it.
2. Nintendo forced everyone to use the tablet on all the games making them run worse, because the Console was not strong enough to run both at the same time when the game was too demanding.

Don't feel sorry for any of these publishers. There's nothing on those game key cards and 90% of the upgrades so far are just unlocking the framerate. They didn't actually do anything to optimize or improve the game. Sega literally just released Shadow the Hedgehog with an unlocked framerate and called it a day. They could have just made that into a simple patch

Okay, but where's the hard numbers? Chris Dring never posts that. Also the third-party that complained is strongly believed to be Take-Two and their Civ7 port, which flopped everywhere lmao

false
they also didn't force any dev to use the Wiimote.

>because the Console was not strong enough to run both
BS

>>713118489
this is why you have game key cards lol

>>713096625
The Switch got a massive boost from Covid. If you look at sales charts, it had kind of flat lined two years after the console released. There was a huge boom in video game collecting, and every other hobby, during Covid, and that was what reignited the console sales. The Switch 2 will probably start to stagnate in three or so years.

>>713090769 (OP)
2 more weeks.

>>713098302
Nintendo first party games will hold their value forever. No one gives a shit about PC games, but you'll always be able to resale a physical Nintendo game

NINTENDO SWITCHY 2 WINS AGAIN

>>713098302
you will end up doing the same changing the micro sd genius, the switch was one of the few consoles where you needed to download something, more than an update, to play, because the full game was inside the cartridge, especially with first-party games, if the game doesn't come there, it doesn't make much sense to buy the physical catridge and it's better to stay with the digital download
the big three are trying so hard to erradicate the physical format
their users don't know that in the long run that will hurt them and they will be buying games at $100 dollars that they won't even own, it's not like with pc, but console companies want you to think that and that it's the same thing as pc gaming

LOOK AT ALL THESE LOSERS IN HERE TRYING TO DEFEND XBOX AND PC GAYMEN AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PLAYSTATION AND NINTENDO WINS AGAIN BABY. CHERRY PICKING AND BIASED. I WIN BYE BYE

>>713118836
>No one gives a shit about PC games
anymore

but physical PC games:

And all you get will be woke trash, managed by Treehouse.
It's over.

>>713090769 (OP)
Why would anybody want to play 4 year old ports in shittier quality on the shitch 2?

Those who are poverty stricken cannot afford such trivial devices, this is why they browse message board forums to vent being poor and join the vain wagon of hate on the next big thing because they know deep down inside they want it. Imagine waking up and not having a gaming PC, a PS5 Pro, and a Nintendo Switch 2. Such is life.

>>713091109
nobody gives a shit about physical, you decrepit boomer

>>713116251
That's not for all games, that' for all 3rd party games. Mk8 sold gangbusters.

>>713114904
>>713116572
They confirmed a few days ago that all the xenoblade games would get upgraded

>>713090769 (OP)
Actual Switch 2 owner here. While I would love to believe people are rejecting key cards the reality of the situation is more about the new pricing of Nintendo. By making games like Mario Kart $80 and others $70 the major releases are straight up cannibalizing the sales of the smaller ones. Nintendo platforms were always Nintendo heavy of course but there is a difference between telling the userbase they have to save up for $80 games plus Amiibos + whatever Nintendo makes up. Cyberpunk and such outstanding releases have the same effect.

What outsiders need to understand is that in the current Nintendo landscape - for the average user - Mario Kart World, Bananza and Cyberpunk are absolute priority purchases for the new system. Maybe Guardians of Azuma if you like physicals but you are already saving up for Metroid and Pokemon A-Z. And because these games got very expensive (ok you probably got MKW as a bundle like everyone else) you will think twice of buying anything else for the system. I rather get the Bananza Amiibo than a third party whatever. It is not about keycards or digital. It is about big releases pocketing the surplus money you previously spent on third parties. This is happening elsewhere to various extent. A few big online games take all the money. A few big releases ask for more and more while smaller games suffer.

Keep buying gambling microtransaction shopping cards.

>>713119482
We are boycotting game key cards which resulted in rock bottom sales, so yes everyone does

>>713120519
lmao, keep hallucinating. this is the last gen where there will be anything but digital storefronts

>>713090769 (OP)
The selection of third party games kinda sucks so far. Out of what’s pictured in the OP I would get Yakuza 0 and MAYBE Bravely Default. Everything else looks like spam lol

>>713120408
Nothing they say really contradicts anything or what am I saying. A few big releases are starving out everyone else. You can have 40% third party sales but if the majority of it is Cyberpunk then the others can say they barely sold anything.

>>713120686
the cannibalization theory is far less plausible if the real numbers on the ground show that 3rd party games aren't actually performing badly to begin with. this is just a couple of retard publishers who thought they could get away with no effort because it's the switch

>>713090769 (OP)
Cyberpunk is only selling because shitendo fooled everyone with corpo bulls high tall saying it was just like the ps5 version,,,,kek fucking tards

>>713120310
>I rather get the Bananza Amiibo than a third party whatever.
Why did you forget about the TotK Amiibos? Those look nicer.

>>713118343
>Nintendo forced everyone to use the tablet
Not trying to defend the Wii U, but that's not true at all.
NSMBU and Pikmin 3 were early 1st party Wii U games and you could play them fully with the Pro Controller without ever touching the gamepad.
W101 and Bayo were the same and both were 3rd party funded by Nintendo.
Assassins' Creed, COD, Resident Evil, etc. were the same.
Hell, Tropical Freeze had a black screen on the gamepad, they didn't even bother moving the HUD there or at least adding a fixed texture splash screen.
