I think the Switch 2 will still be a 100m+ seller but won't sell as much as the Switch 1. The launch sale speed is what happens when you actually have stock at launch and people don't need to watch trackers 24/7 if they want to get one before year 3.

Nintendo can really release anything now, their consumer base is pretty much religious at this point.

We'll see, but its definitely not looking good. Corps arw now seeing that people are completely fine with
>subpar hardware
>$80 physical games
>asset flips
>dlc on top of the $80
>paid online
>region locked console so people dont get the games cheaper
>systems you only sorta own

The consoomers are paying to he screwed at this point and everyone is gonna suffer for it.

I need to know two things.
1. is it hackable?
2. emulator soon? I heard Nintendo BTFO the two big switch emu groups, are they still dead?

I know someone who bought one for Mario Kart, and hasn't touched his Swtich 2 in a week.

As expected. If people want it they can get it. Is this Nintendo's most accessible console release?

>>713552726

nintendo is literally the last one and its fans are insane and rabid, combine the two and you have a cultural phenomenon.

DON'T BULLY CORPORATION

>>713553449
Seeing how much it pisses schizos like you off, buying the Switch 2 was completely worth it for that alone. Being a great console is also nice.

>>713553769
There'll always be fanboy console wars shit as long as theres a competitor.

>>713553569
>1. is it hackable?
If you even try Nintendo turns it into a paperweight, and your own console will snitch on you if you run flash cards the second it connects to the internet again.
>2. emulator soon? I heard Nintendo BTFO the two big switch emu groups, are they still dead?
The two big switch emu groups were likely nonstarts for the switch 2 anyway. ryujinx team was very obviously just in it to get bought out, and yuzu had a fucking patreon. it'll take some time.

People who bought one are the same who fight in-store over pokemon shit..

oh fuck I didn't realize I was replying to a tripfag

fuck all of you

Can I get a hallelujah!!?

As someone who hasn't bought a Nintendo product since 2010, I was considering getting a Switch 2. It's just nicely released between console gens. Everyone knew PS5 was an incremental upgrade that will be quickly replaced by PS6, same with Switch 1 after seeing the whole Wii U thing. I refrained from buying Switch, Ps5, or Xbox Series X; may as well get a Switch 2 while waiting for PS6/Xb2x

did you know this sort of behavior was illegal before Reagan? It was referred to as customer exploitation and was made to prevent Company towns from ever forming again. Now that it's gone we've been bouncing from walled garden to walled garden that shouldn't even be legal.

so....did it beat the ps2 yet?

>>713554094
No, Sony found another 6 million PS2 sales in Germany.

>>713553569
Not yet we will get there, it always get hacked sooner or later. Nintendo sucks at cybersec.

>Directly reading sales as an indicator of game quality

>>713552670 (OP)
This is largely driven by availability.
Switch and PS5 were pretty much sold out everywhere at release. Had they made more consoles they would have sold more in a month.

>>713552670 (OP)
That's super a disingenuous graphic. The time windows are massively disproportionate, of course the first four days sell more on average than an average taken of a whole month, or fucking 4.5 years. Yeah, the Switch 2 is going to sell the best, by I hope to God no one here is actually gullible enough to think it's outselling the rest by that much.

YESSSS LET'S GO NINTENDO

>people can't buy houses so they buy cope machines instead

>>713552726
Basically people bought into "if you didn't buy it at launch you're fucked because of scalpers".

>>713556978
A $450 console is more attainable than a $450k house. Indeed.

>>713556605
That sure as hell isn't true for pokemon which had its best selling games since the originals yet the quality is worse than ever for the respective hardware

>>713557047
If you don't buy a switch 2 once a day for 3 years you could afford a house. This is why you're still poor.

>>713557047
Where the fuck do you live where houses are that cheap

>>713557037
Well no the issue is as you can see in this thread that people are chasing perverse incentives, and then coping about it

>switch 2 once a day
I won't buy another Switch 2 if I can help it. My $1400/mo rent in my two bedroom apartment is already expensive as it is.
>This is why you're still poor.
Not really. Working at walmart for over 25 years and making $16something/hr is why I'm still poor. I hope I win the lottery soon. I'm getting tired.

>>713553557
>games worth a damn
>look inside
>its just mario spinoffs

>>713553661
I haven't played Mario Kart in over a week but I've been playing the console every single day. The backwards compatibility makes so many Switch 1 games better that it was worth the upgrade from a pre-red box switch for that alone.

>>713557226
Waukesha, Wisconsin. It was just a ballpark figure. I haven't kept up with house prices because I'll never be able to afford one with my wife. I used to be really good at appraisal around 20 years ago, but now 25 years into our totally Jewish century that skill is no longer viable. Sucks.

>>713552782
Kind of hope Valve does a console, as retarded as it sounds. I've just used my Steam deck to stream to my TV.

>>713557381

>>713558096
Yup. I live in OC and even in shitty cities like Santa Ana or Stanton, houses are 900k minimum, 1.1 mil average.

>>713558256

160,636,885 PS2s manufactured from January 2000 to March 2013 when it ceased production
Sony places sales at "over 160 million" since obviously, manufactured =/= sold
The original Switch is sitting at ~152.12 million (as of March 31st, 2025, 8 years + 4 weeks of sales), meaning it has to sell ~8,516,885 units before ending production to completely overtake the PS2. Last year, the Switch sold around 11 million units, and we know that it's going to be on store shelves with the Switch 2 as a cheaper alternative for at least 2-3 years. It also makes sense to keep making Switch games with Switch 2 Edition updates to try and cover both platforms.

The Switch has also never received a permanent price cut, only individual store sales. The closest thing to one was when the original Switch was replaced by the Mariko model, which has a better battery, but at the same price, and the cheaper, more limited Switch Lite.

>>713559126
Does that include the entirety of the switch models (OG, lite, OLED)?

>>713559296
Yes, their sales are consolidated as they are the same platform. Nintendo also considers the Game Boy Color to be the same platform as the original Game Boy, treating it like how they treat the New Nintendo 3DS to the Nintendo 3DS, or the Nintendo DSi to the Nintendo DS. They're closer to pro models than true successors. Similarly, all the PS2 models are consolidated there, the slim isn't separate to the original fat model.

The Switch 2 would be considered separate to the Switch.

Nintendo did the right call on overstocking every single outlet so scalpers can get fucked.

What they really should have used their money on was making exclusives. There's currently only 2 exclusives on it and nothing else announced.

>>713568276
Wheelchair basketball is a thing, and it's apparently coming out in August. It's a Nintendo platform. It's going to get exclusives. That's basically guaranteed, it comes with being a Nintendo platform.
