Nintendo always underestimates themselves. They've done that since they royally fucked up and overestimated themselves during the WiiU/3DS era.

sales numbers don't make me want to buy a console

Mario Kart, DK, Pokemon, Kirby and Metroid.

Reminds me of the ps5.
...Where are the games though?
From you faggots and other places I alo see reports that games that are on switch1+2 are actually running WORSE on switch 2. With issues like audio lag that are "being worked on".
Switch2 launch feels off. I think its the first time too where nintendo just does the same thing again instead of giving soething fresh and new.

>>723478040
>Kirby
You mean the switch 1 kirby with a bit of dlc on top that all the jap tubers are shilling.
So they can resell a key for a $79.99 digital version. What a fucking joke man.

>>723478102
There's really nothing "new" to be done done when it comes to hardware now.

Nah, Kirby Air Riders (soon).

>>723476249
I bought mine at launch and it’s great.

>>723477940
>>723478197
The "brilliant" Nintendo plan was to flood the market with Switch 1 games and SELL the "upgrades" (as if the hardware shouldn't have just ran the games better in the first place) in a way to treat it like a Switch 2 title to make you feel like its the same as they were doing with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Pikmin 3 Deluxe.

>>723478206
I know, no innovation. Its all just peak focus group $ maximizing. Appeal to everybody and don't offend anybody.
Back then nintendo actually suprised you. Sometimes it was innovative stuff, sometimes it flopped and was shit.
I actually prefer that. Japan became so stale. Felt like the last bastian but they seem just delayed instead of heading into another direction than us.

I mean it makes sense, the majority of households will have at least 3-4 Switch 2 consoles, a couple for the kids, 1 for the dad and another just as a communal one under the family television for when the mother has a break from the housework or if guests are over and want some fun entertainment

lmao, stopped being good on the NDS (BW2 was the last good Pokemon).

Switch 1 rehashed game, a 7/10 one at best too.

Not even out.

So one 7/10 game, congrats I guess.

>>723477235
This is not true at all. I distinctly remember multiple times with the switch where they had to lower their sales forecasts

>>723478347
Most upgrades are free, the paid ones come with extra content. A lot of switch 1 games don’t even need an upgrade and just run much better on the switch 2.

>>723475931 (OP)
>They expect sales to exceed their expectation
That's a stupid sentence. You should just say "Nintendo raises their sales estimate".

$19.99 for the kirby upgrade.
$79.99 for zelda tears of the kingdom or 10$ upgrade.
but wait!

thats the most jewish shit i ever saw. the more i read about the switch2 the more disgusted i am.

>>723478554
At least for one game I saw a official Nintendo announcement admitting the problem, its still not fixed. Switch 1 does not have that audio lag problem.
inventing the wheel was what nintendo was known for you retard.

>>723475931 (OP)
can someone post the montage of people taking pictures of the ample switch 2 inventory at every retailer? Nintendo must be using all that lawsuit money to pay journos extra to shill even harder for the holiday season.

>>723478206
I will say I do like how the rumble features have improved over the last few generations. I'm not blind to how old doing so is, and I was a little rustled at the maracas demonstration for the Switch 2's rumble acting like the Switch 1 didn't do the same thing with the ice cube demonstration.
I also remember the Switch 1 rightside joycons had an IR camera sensor located on the underside. I know that because Warioware Move It was the only game I played that bothered with it (ironically those were the worst microgames out of the set)
I see them trying to innovate, some swings and misses (like livestreaming your game with a peripheral camera at 10fps or the afformentioned IR camera) and the effort is appreciated, but I also appreciate shit that works well and is actually utelized. I'm so disgusted with Pokemon and ScaVi right now since they had to wait an entire console generation just for it to run as intended. I watched performance of ZA on Switch 1 and it looks just as bad as I thought, which is ironic since you probably made it thst way to have a significantly easier time managing a tighter draw distance being in a homogenus laberynth of buildings.

>>723478682
>Most upgrades are free
Outside of Pokemon I wasn't familiar with any. If the majority of them are then that's what I expected, that my higher spec hardware could run the games better. But as I understand 90% are of the
>the paid ones come with extra content
Which means your better performance is locked behind a paywall that also includes some bonus Red Coin challenge or extra 1-ups. Like not DLC levels ala Kirby and the Forgotten Land or Bowser's Fury but nore like amiibo bonuses without the amiibos.

Well then look it up, Pokémon was indeed one of them.

>>723475931 (OP)
Personally the only people I know in real life who mentioned any negative feelings about the Switch 2 just before and just after launch were the super gullible manosphere-addicted types. Which as you said, is a minority, but also is a group notorious for not really holding any opinions and just bandwagonning on the outrage of the week. Which is to say, even a bunch of them ended up buying a Switch 2 anyway.

That's not to say that there are no valid criticisms; I have been quite vocal about my disappointment with Mario Kart World and a few other things. But I did buy the Switch 2 and that game, so...

>>723475931 (OP)
huh? literally literally nobodys buying and they wanna make more? its all catching dust on shelves!!

>>723476249
It's got no real console sellers yet, so the only people really picking it up these days are people who didn't pick up a Switch 1 and just plan to mainly catch up on the backlog of shit until 2 gets games making the purchase worth it.

>>723475931 (OP)
inb4 it's somebody using switch to smuggle microchips for weapons.

>>723476490
I didn't have a Switch 1, so a Switch 2 was a no-brainer for me. I get new Nintendo games as they come out, plus the whole Switch backlog

Why so angry? Rehashes and mediocre/ slightly above mediocre releases are not relevant, the Switch doesn't have games yet.

To think the SNES in a half-dozen months or so had Super Mario World, ActRaiser, Pilotwings, F-Zero. How the mighty have fallen...

>>723477364
the problem with the past 5 years of stagnant games having to run on 13 year old consoles. wanting another 8 years of stagnation is cringe.

pc gaming needs to separate from console gaming again. cyberpunk is a good example of what happens when pc quality games get shoved on consoles.

Literally HALF of the TOP 10 highest rated games of 2025 on metacritic are Switch 2 exclusives.

And we still have Masahiro Sakurai's Kirby Airriders, Hyrule Warriors and fucking Metroid Prime 4 all before Christmas.

Kirby Air Riders I have a lot of faith in, which is a stark contrast from the restof the Switch 2.

>>723481458
Holy cope lmao

i know theres a stigma against another stigma which is that its bad to make fun of nintendo fans because the games are for kids and then people tell you they arent for kids and they are good games for anybody and let people enjoy thing and etc etc

but lets be real if youre an adult man still buying a fucking switch and playing fucking pokemon youre actually a genuine loser. like id give you a pass on playing the older games because you certainly would have nostalgia for them and i think that is a valid reason to play something, but if youre like YEAH POKEMON BAGUETTE AND POKEMON CIABATTA FUCK YES youre probably a pedophile. like 90% you fuck kids, right?

its fine for adults to play video games in general, but the guy playing sekiro and the guy playing donkey kong bananabutt boogaloo are not the same. there are levels to this game.

Love Bananza, simple as.

how many Switch 2’s do you own? I own 5, thinking about getting another couple for Xmas, love Nintendo

>>723478347
Not that it wouldn't have been nice, but being able to play your old games on a new console and receiving a performance upgrade for free, has literally never been the standard. And Nintendo's historical precedent is just making you buy the whole game all over again.

I bought one lately.
Have a gaming PC as well so I can play anything I want really and not be a seething bitch about it.

>>723481302
>Literally HALF of the TOP 10 highest rated games of 2025 on metacritic are Switch 2 exclusives.
The Nintendo Bonus is a hell of a thing, few reviewers dare to give Nintendo games a proper score to avoid things pic related.

By the way, 8.8 waa too high for Zelda: TP, it was 8.5 at best even for the time.

>Kirby Airriders
GameCube one was legit 5/10.

>Hyrule Warriors
Imagine hyping up Musouslop, things are dry.

>Metroid Prime 4
Switch 1 game.

Switch 2 is just a PS5 Pro for the Switch 1. Honestly they should've just named it better. Solely exists for die-hard consoomers, or new-comers who wanna play the backlog.
Unfortunately it will hold vidya back for another 6 years

>>723481518
I mean, I've played games "for adults", and they are not more cerebral or mentally taxing than Pokemon.
I respect the adult Pokemon fan, more than I respect people who are going to buy that Wolverine game.
Personally, I haven't touched Pokemon since Gold, because nothing ever sat right after the first two gens. But that's just me.

I-i-i-i-i--it's still going to flop guys. My 40 year old possibly autism fueled opinion on what has changed and the fact I don't like it matters and the company will go bankrupt. It will... I swear.

this is less about how much it challenges the player and more about thematic problems.

if youre an adult man playing dokeV, youre a pedo. theres no two ways about it.

its like being a grown man and reading goosebumps. its not okay. you need to elevate yourself, read horror aimed at adults. its not that there arent BAD books written by/for adults, but thats the level you should be at, you should not still be reading kids books. its the same with pokemon.

>>723482214
not what i said or implied

You sound like you just turned 18 or something. Liking violence and "hardcore" games does not make you mature.
Actually, it is quite to the contrary. Adults with balanced sensibilities do not like violenceslop and they most likely lead busy lives with work and family and dont have the energy to obsess over rollslop builds or boss tacts but just relax with something that gives them a joyful moment during the day(Pokemon).

look at the pedophiles getting pissed at being called out. the FBI is on the way to all your houses right now.

>PC niggers
I'm not a "PC nigger", I have no loyalty to any platform or brand, unlike tendie schizos (tendies are the most autistic fanbase, not even snoys are this bad).

Back on the 16-bit era, SNES (or even the Genesis / Mega Drive) was the best option (not an Amiga or anything similar), during the 32-bit era the PS1 was the best option, nowadays it's the PCs. It's this simple.

Why? It had an amazing first month but its been sitting on shelves only 3 months since launch. Like the best news from August is that is only down slightly month over month and it's still barely beating the PS4's record. Its not moving fast enough to increase production more than they've already estimated. Feel like there is a real risk this thing gets way over supplied, which is something Nintendo historically avoided.

>>723487745
Terminally online cheapfags were always going to pirate the games, regardless of how much or little they cost. That just leaves normies and families who neither pay attention to youtube slop nor the majority of online discourse. PC, Playstation, and Xbox have all but abandoned the family market (especially in terms of non-online games. A lot of parents are wary when it comes to online features), and that leaves Nintendo to clean sweep.

>>723476249
Console cucks are usually broke retards that cant see past the cheaper console price over a pc and are usually tech illiterate. So cant use a pc or pirate stuff even if they had one.

Childrens movies have the same thing. "Why do you hate Minions? Kids normally consume mindless slapstick slop"
Meanwhile I grew up with old Pixar movies like Incredibles and Toy Story 1/2. It probably is better to raise your children on thoughtful stories that respect their ability to digest and process emotions and feelings instead of Bippy or Fred. Choosing what to raise your kid on will likley set a precident on their future.

>Ninty won the console wars so hard it's not even funny.
How can they win something they don't even take part of? Nintendo doesn't even compete against PlayStation or Xbox anymore. Their current product series (Switch) is merely a companion hardware, no different from a GBA during the PS2 era, and the GBA obviously didn't compete against the PS2, the GameCube did. Likewise the NDS didn't compete against X360.

Nintendo unironically lost so hard they gave up on the main console market.

Don't care about brand warring bullshit, I'm not autistic nor a manchild like tendies.

>They’re not even in the same market really
Pretty much, brand warriors might as well think a Kawasaki Z650 "competes" against a Toyota Corolla just because both are vehicles.

In reality having a Switch is like having a GBA in the early 2000s or a NDS in the late 2000s, a side companion platform while you play the AAAs / big games on your main market platform, nowadays a PC, PS5 or Xbox X/S, back then usually a PS2 (early 2000s), X360 / PS3 (late 2000s).

You are off your rocker if you seriously do not think Switch as a console competes with the other companies as gaming hardware.

>>723499698
It’s not. Nintendo fans always brag about their sales figures but when you say it can’t run games as good as ps5, they start saying that the switch isn’t a real console all of a sudden

>>723499697
Ask the judge that said so.

>>723499774
He’s wrong. And you have no point

>>723499698
>You are off your rocker if you seriously do not think Switch as a console competes with the other companies as gaming hardware.
About as much as a gaming hardware like the GBC competed against a gaming hardware like the PS1 in the late 90s.

In reality, the PS1 was competing against the N64, not against the GBC and Nintendo obviously wasn't competing against itself with the N64 and the GBC.

>>723499697
cause it was a false statement in the eyes of the court

>>723500304
The court with no logic maybe

>>723497194
The Switch 1 will outsell the PS2 in a few years, by the way
Cope with this information however you see fit

>>723500465
It just had a price hike and its successor launched though.

This argument doesn't make sense because Nintendo to an extent shares its 3rd party library with Sony/Microsoft and even Steam.
If someone chooses to play their indies or JRPGs on the Switch instead of another platform, is that not competition?
>but muh indies don't count
Then what, you're basing competitiveness on AAA 3rd party games, a fraction of a fraction of the industry?

>>723500465
>He didn't hear about how Sony just unearthed another 20,000,000 PS2 sales that were unaccounted for in 2005.

>>723497194
I decided to buy a switch 2 next to my pc instead of the other consoles, how is that not competition?

>>723500986
That’s like saying you decided to buy a 4 wheeler because you already had a Tesla. You buying a 4 wheeler didn’t hurt other car brands sales, who are competing with Tesla.

>>723476353
It has more exclusives than any other console on the market.

>>723475931 (OP)
How is /v/ always wrong about videogames?

Literally where could you have gotten that information? Every headline aboit the Switch 2 is how it's broken every sales record in its firat 3 months.

>>723500181
>>723499772
I'll concede so hard that Nintendo is the worst graphical snd performance choice for multiplats that I'll completely ignore than it can run them. It competes as a video game console. People choose between a playstation, xbox, or nintendo. Nintendo has exclusives, and many people are audiance captured buly those exclusives. If one buys a Switch there's a significant likelihood that would prevent them from purchasing another current gen system. Some throw their money away at any new toy and some peoppe have enough money to burn, but Nintendo does not exist in a seperate market for video games, they all compete.

>>723501082
>wanted to buy a console next to my pc for couch gaming
>my options where the latest xbox, playstation or a switch 2.
>i bought the switch 2.

>>723501393
No, people buy switch as companion consoles to their pc or PlayStation.

>>723501491
Who the fuck idorts so hard with playstation and nintendo in 2025? And again, the average consumer does not simply have the funds to drop on two consoles especially at the sticker price today.

>>723501397
There is literally no point in owning a switch unless you’re using it handheld. It being a handheld circumvents a lot of issues that you have with home consoles. If you’re going to just dock it you might as well get better fidelity and fps, oh yeah and GTA 6

>>723500465
>The Switch 1 will outsell the PS2 in a few years, by the way
Congratulations, did your little pecker get hard typing this? Hope you're a businessman and you're getting richer with every Switch unit sold.

The Switch didn't compete against the PS2 though, the Dreamcast, GameCube and Xbox did.

>>723500776
>This argument doesn't make sense because Nintendo to an extent shares its 3rd party library with Sony/Microsoft and even Steam.
>If someone chooses to play their indies or JRPGs on the Switch instead of another platform, is that not competition?
Same applies to the Vita, plenty of shared jarpigs and indies with the PS3 and later PS4, obviously the Vita didn't compete against its PS3 / PS4 "siblings", but against the 3DS.

>tl;dr
PS2 = main platform of its generation, didn't compete against the GBA or NDS (companion side platforms).

Switch (companion side platform), doesn't compete against the main platforms (PS4 / PS5 and Xbox One / XS).

>>723501082
Are you retarded?
If he spent money on a Switch 2 the chances of him spending more money on another console are minimal

>>723502120
To be completely fair, it still might not even beat the PS2. It just had a price hike and the 2 came out. GTA 6 is coming out and not launching on either as well.

>>723502253
Yeah but the PS5 and Xbox are competing with PCs. You buying a Switch doesn't affect that. Because they're two different markets.

>>723500967

I don't get it.
I don't play many video games nowadays, much like the rest of /v/, have no desire to buy a switch 2 until more games come out....
But I don't really feel any animosity towards the console. I don't hate it nor the people who buy them.
What's wrong with me?

>>723476318
Needs at least 10 exclusives that interest me, then we'll talk.

It has a lot of games you can't play on other consoles.

>>723502273
Only had a price hike in the US.

>>723503293
It also didnt launch right when GTA V came out. Youll have to refer to Nintendos dumbass Wii U for that topic.

i thought cross gens didnt count

>>723506680
The ps5 has 4 technically right now

>>723508691
Whether they count or not as exclusive games (they don't), that's what people are going to be playing on them.

>>723479004
i think they showed the maraccas thing off again because basically no one used the switch 1 hd rumble outside of the 1 2 switch game. but i think they forgot that the reason nobody used it is because nobody sane uses the joycons seperately, everyone either used the joycon adapter or a real gamepad

>>723508893
werent tendies the ones crying about Ps5 owners playing ps4 crossgens too?

>>723509058
No, no I don't think they were.

>>723509172
They were bitching about how Gran Turismo 7 how it didn't count and was a cross gen and Bloodborne was available on PS4 as well.

>>723477940
Silksong
I'm patiently waiting for Air Riders and Prime 4 tbqhdesu. Also the new Splatoon game, whenever that's coming out.

>>723509237
Pretty sure that's the voices in your head. Or maybe all the people disappointed about Bloodborne never getting a PS5 (or even PS4 Pro) patch.

>>723509384
Nah, they'll straight up tell you that on here. They'll say GT7 doesn't count as an exclusive on PS5 but yet here they are gobbling up all their lovely crossgens without issue.

>>723509475
Who, the voices? Yes, they're correct, cross-gen doesn't count as exclusive. But that was never what was being talked about here. Pokemon Z-A isn't exclusive to Switch 2, but that's what people are going to be playing on it right now.

>>723509620
He asked what the fuck are they even playing on it. Which implies that the Switch 2 itself has no games. To which you answered Switch 1 games, which is irrelevant. Because he very likely meant that theres nothing to play on it.

>>723475931 (OP)
Nintendo could take a big fat steaming shit on a plate, call it the Switch 2, and tendies would line up for hours to slurp up every last bit of it.

we didnt for wii u retard.

>>723509993
This narrative hasn't worked since the Wii U flopped. Sony on the other hand released a console that still has no games all these years later and it's sold 80m+ units

>>723509993

>>723510117
The Wii U failed because it lacked GTA V.

>>723510280
Switch didn't have GTAV and it did fine.

>>723510349
It dodged the release of GTA V. Nintendo was in shambles for years though until they creeped back out in 2017. They still never returned to the real home console market.

All those people that were looking at Nintendo games are going to not think they’re cool anymore. GTA is going to have a pull that nothing else does.

It definitely contributed a lot

>>723513593
In your dreams, maybe.

>>723513593
Nintendo games have never been "cool" in the sense you're saying. It was kinda the entire basis for the Sega Genesis's marketing campaign.

>>723513830
All I see are excuses. All I see also is when Nintendos console did the worst, was when it came out near GTA V. Excuses here, excuses there, I just see the math.

Mario Kart is fun, but cmon at that price it delivers basically same shit and doesn't look better. For me mario kart is a game you play to kill time in between mains.

We waited on a new mario since 2017, they swapped it for DK and you smash shit, to me it doesn't look like a real eye opening improvement on oddessy, less creative too.

Kirby air riders is a gayer mario kart and also is a skip.

Metroid prime looks horrible, another game I've been waiting forever for, no modernization, just brings gamecube into current gen.

then a bunch of paid backwards compatibility upgrades, etc... I have no idea if I can sell my switch 1 and have my digital library work on the switch 2.

Bought a switch 2 then made a quick 100$ on facebook marketplace because there was nothing exciting for it or coming.

Pokemon looks like garbage too.

Maybe they'll announce something to capture me.

>>723476249
If you didnt get the first one its just a straight up better option from a hardware standpoint and has a lot of nice little QoL features to make it more convenient. I brought it with me for a two week business trip to china and something as small as the better kickstand made things much nicer since it never fell over during turbulence and in the hotel I could have it propped up on my bed without it falling over. I also bought it on launch so i could give my brother my old switch

They don't, sales are falling off a cliff.

>>723527602
If they're invested in a system (or game) they care because the sales can indicate whether the console (again, or game) will get further support or not. If something you love bombs completely, you will probably not see more of it, or more like it made.

>>723527602

Because lack of sales lead to the death of a product, see XBOX.
