>"If you're not aware, when the Switch 2 came out, there was one new game, Mario Kart World. And outside of that, every other game was a port that you could already have played on another platform. Why then did they release Mario Kart World as the only exclusive? And then why did they release this game one month later? Artificial scarcity. By doing it like that, everyone had to buy Mario Kart World at launch or else they had nothing to play on the Switch 2. So, everyone did. Now, it's a month later and everyone realized, we're kind of bored of Mario Kart. There's no content. So, they run out and they buy Donkey Kong Bonanza."

>"But here's the thing. If Nintendo had released both of those games at launch, people would have just chosen one or the other. Artificial scarcity. By making only one available then the next, what you've done is created a situation where people want to keep spending to keep using their console because they feel like they've already invested so much. They want to keep spending. So in another few months, I guarantee you we'll have an update. Metroid Prime 4 is coming out, right? And that's what Nintendo seems to be doing. They knew they didn't have a killer lineup for the launch of this console. So make it seem like it's exclusive."

is he right?

that's sort of the impression i'm getting. given longer dev time it seems they want to train their core audience to follow a very tight hype cycle and buy every single nintendo game out of a lack of other content and a sort of hypnotic brand loyalty.
the bananza rollout was interesting--they let the press think it's just some weird little game so they'd focus entirely on mario kart. and when MK sales plateaued they sent out the media marching orders and were all "actually it's made by the A team mario devs!" and the tenor entirely changed, perception shifted to "must buy" almost overnight

The wii u really fucked up nintendo's collective mind. So for the switch they stopped doing things as laze and started getting more and more formulaic and mechanical. Subsequently, that's why we're now in the soulless era, because nintendo are deathly afraid of another wii-u

Same with the switch 2, but how many 3rd party games were there at launch that werenโ€™t ports of years-old games? Despite the switch being the biggest thing they couldnโ€™t manage to get any other devs on board, even at summer games fest there was nothing there for switch 2. At least with the switch it was understandable coming off one of the worst consoles but iโ€™ll ask it again, what is the switch 2โ€™s excuse?

He's absolutely right, unfortunately he's Cliffy B and has pissed away all the artificial coolness factor he might have had in the 2000s becoming a giant literally who obsessed with tranny bathrooms today as much as he was once obsessed with jerking it to the then underage Olsen Twins, which he admitted freely on the internet because back then you could just admit underage people were hot and everyone knew it. We weren't overly socialized to pretend it was unthinkable to want to fuck a fifteen year old; we just didn't cause of the law. R Kelly pissed on a 14 year old and no one gave a fuck because "oh those rappers, silly negros". That's just how it was. Go watch any comedy and watch how many times getting to fuck a hot girl under questionable circumstances is played for laughs.

Its almost like Nintendo is a company and knows releasing two products at the same time to directly compete would only cause them to loose money. I don't even like Nintendo but it's just what every other major publisher does stagnant releases to not fuck their own bottom dollar. Its also why when huge games get announced sometimes smaller competing companies will make sure to not release in the same window because they know consumers may opt for the more popular title.


Its not a scarcity. Its just basic ass business

He's right. Nintendo's plan was to get you to buy their console and then drip feed you, until more of their first party titles were available. They won't be able to sell their consoles like they did initially, so this was the only way.

He was on to something. Imagine 20 dollar smaller episodic games, like how FF7R is FF7 but split into 3 parts. You do that with every game. Just split it up into 3 chapters and 20 bucks a pop. You'd have more good games, more frequently, more AAA people still employed, because they are working on these things all the time and gamers would be happier, because they are getting more stuff, more often. Now you have morons saying, no we need 8+ years to make a thing and we will need 80 dollars for the base game and if you want the digital deluxe we need another 30.

Nintendo used to release multiple games close together all the time because they hadn't yet ascended to Japanese Apple status and knew that it was more ethical to give consumers choice than to psychologically manipulate them into being little piggies slurping at the trough.

Not just every console manufacturer but every publisher in general does this. Games are delayed to not release the same month as GTA, FPS avoid releasing the same month as COD, if a publisher thinks their game will sell best on PS they avoid releasing the same month as a Sony 1st party title and same for Switch / Nintendo 1st party.

It's not "artificial scarcity", it's avoiding if cannabalizing sales

Artificial scarcity is the practice of deceptively limiting the number of people that can purchase a single item. The Wii infamously used artificial scarcity to generate more demand by being sold out for nearly 2 full years in the US. Shoes often do the same thing.
Delaying the release of new things is not artificial scarcity

NTA but that's not what artificial scarcity means, it's a completely different concept.
Artificial scarcity is when a company won't ship enough of a product to make it seem like there is more demand than there really is, like what Sony did with the PS5.
You can go to any vidya store now and buy a Switch 2 with DK or Mario Kart World.

He's mostly right.

The only thing I disagree with is the "they knew they didn't have a killer lineup for launch."

If you put all the nintendo games coming out this year and place them on launch day, it is definitely a killer lineup: MKW, DKB, PLZA, MP4, and whatever else. That's a crazy good lineup + the upgraded switch 1 ports.

Nintendo definitely is doing what he said up front, however. Releasing games in sequence so that once you beat one, you feel compelled to get the next one coming out. They're doing an excellent job of riding and maintaining momentum. If they had released more games at launch, he's right in saying that fewer overall software would be bought.

That's not what artificial scarcity is, that's just a normal release schedule, X game releases in June, Y game releases in July, so on and so forth.
Artificial scarcity is when you release few copies of the game or few units of the console to create a feeling of FOMO in the audience.

This isn't new. They've been operating like this for years to great success. The Switch was so huge not just because of its games, but that they released consistently. They put out games at nearly a monthly rate for the bulk of that system's time, only for bigger games to get a few more weeks in-between releases and with stuff like bigger DLCs, NSO releases, and the rare eShop game to fill the void and buy time.

The goal is to always have people talking about the system and it's games. The best way to do that is to always have something that either just came out or is just about to release. If Nintendo can put out at least 8 notable Switch 2 releases every year, then they'll have a hit system like last time. Keeping people talking about the Switch 2 will get easier and easier as more games release.

One of the things few talk about as reasons why the WiiU and 3DS didn't do well compared to thier predecessors is that they'd often have big games on both systems release on literally the same day, causing people to need to choose which to buy and also which to give thier attention and talk about online or to friends. Releasing games like A Link Between Worlds and Mario 3D World on the same exact day was not a good move since they had to compete with each order for mindshare, and the same goes with Pokemon ORAS and Smash 4WiiU.

It worked for the Switch 1.

Having a new, exclusive (full, timed, console or cross-gen, doesn't matter that much) release every month or so is why the Switch 1 did so well.

Software sells hardware which in turn sells software. The WiiU flopped in large part because it would go months and months without any new notable game releases.

Gears of War was so good that every second-rate dev ripped it off until it got stale, and clueless gamers blame him.

Putting your opinion in the mouth of someone more important just to make your point seem more interesting only reflects poorly on your opinion and really shows how confident you are in your own words to begin with, you are aware that no one would care and that it is only being discussed because it is the words of someone like Gaben and you know deep down that you are complaining about nothing.

he's a retard. Having only 1 exclusive at launch diminishes the value of the switch 2. It does not help Nintendo, and I doubt this was some grand plan of theirs

Hollow Knight Silksong assuming it has a stealth release next week for the July direct as some speculate
Might get Kirby though. I've heads it's pretty good, but I'll wait to see if the expansion is a decent size

I know this board is disingenous as fuck but arguing spacing out videogame releases so they don't cannibalize each other's sales is bad just because Nintendo does it is a whole other level lmao

Switch 2 also didn't launch with one exclusive, there was Fast Fusion too

Basic business sense is only bad when Nintendo does it. When pointing out their strategy, it should be framed in the most negative way possible to make them appear to be the bad guys they really are.

Cliffy is sounding like a dumbass boomer. Like, Switch isn't the only platform out there, it's not the 1970s-2010s when the โ€œindustryโ€ controlled everything. It sounds more like a guy who doesn't know his way around new technologies

That's simply not what artificial scarcity means though. Besides, why is spreading out your major releases a bad thing? I'd rather just buy something new every month then 4 games once every 4 minths. Genuinely how is this a problem?

Because the rival platform holders can't release games every month OR release four games once every four months. Thus, Nintendo is bad, unfair and underhandedly evil.

But you don't play games. Or do work on that computer either. You use it to shitpost on /v/. You spent nearly $3000 to not play video games.
