This is called "pleasing your audience".

I will buy a Switch 2

>84% of nintentrannies transitioned
Yeah, we already know about N target audience.

Really? Sounds like they're walking i to the exact same trap a lot of Japanese companies have walked into. Square Enix recently confirmed that only actually 45+ year olds still buy their games and that most of them are tasteless brand loyalists. This means these companies are failing to capture entire generations (plural) of people.

Millenials will die eventually, zoomers have slipped through their fingers and alphies are even less interested.

Being the fastest Nintendo selling console of all time doesn't mean its going to be the most sold console of all time, It just means more retards in the US and Japan are willing to get scammed while the rest of the world stands by. It will sell less than the 3DS guaranteed. Probably somewhere between the 30 million and 40 million mark.

It's just too expensive and doesn't offer enough value.

>>725007047
>between the 30 million and 40 million mark.
It's expected to be at 20 million sales by march 2026. What makes you think sales will suddenly nosedrop to near 0?

>>725007047
This is my thoughts as well however I would say the Switch will probably sell between 70 to 90 million.

>>725007252

Average people aren't buying the switch 2. I don't know a single person in my friend group that owns a switch 2, they all have gaming PC's.

Its clear only people from the US and Japan are buying, and its mostly only people who are rich and have huge disposable income. This is not the average person.

You don't get to 40 million+ sales by catering to a select few that are willing to spend $800 on 3 games and a console which is targeted at kids.

>>725007252
his pure cope and seething.
That's it,
These faggots can't stand they have been wrong about Nintendo for at minimum seven years, if not nine.
They'll impotently rage as the Switch2 soars over 100mil.

>>725007578
You do if you're Nintendo.

>>725007578
The fact that it's the fastest selling console does mean it appeals to the average person. Your friend group isn't the average.
Also I heard all these arguments before for the switch 1. People like you predicted it would flop and sell less than 30 million. Now the switch 1 is close to becoming the best selling console in history

>>725007817
And cue Jim Ryan poking his head out of whatever cave he's in right now to say

I don't think even sony could get away with that. It would make it too obvious the ps2 numbers are bullshit

>>725007047
>It just means more retards in Japan are willing to get scammed while the rest of the world stands by
lad the competition in Japan is pretty much one-sided since SIE decided to screw the entire market by making Playstation into a premium brand, as a base PS5 costs 85k yen (Switch 2 is about 50k) and that's not counting the increased fees on PS+ and accessories too.

>>725006567 (OP)
Nintendo could literally ship you a boxed piece of horseshit, and tendies would still buy it. They are a cult.

>>725008064
That's why I added the "I'M NOT OWNED" part. He could only keep that going for so long

>>725008085
I don't understand what sony was thinking with their japanese pricing

>>725006567 (OP)
A very fitting title.

>transitioned
yeah I bet a lot of nintendo fans did that lmao

out of the four people i know who have a switch only two bought a switch 2 so it's actually 50 percent. suck it nintenfags

>>725007578
>only people who are rich and have huge disposable income are getting a switch 2
This is the dumbest shit I ever read. Get a job

>>725008163
Heavy scalping alongside of the ever-decreasing value of the yen, SIE (american company since 2017) wasn't obviously going to make concessions for the Japanese market like Nintendo has done with the Switch 2.

>>725007817
My friend group is the average though, they all have money but won't buy it because it's too expensive. $500+$300 for games is too much.

Switch 1 succeeded because it was $300 MSRP with a bundle and another game was $40-60. It was affordable. Now the switch 2 is $500+ whatever you spend for a case and games. It's nearly 2X.

When the consoomers stop buying switch 2 sales are going to flatline. No parent is buying this and spending that much money.

Not going past 40 mil sales guaranteed

>>725008435
I think you're delusional and 2 years from now the switch 2 will already have passed 50 million sales

>>725007578
>Switch 2 can only be bought by people who are rich and have huge disposable income.

>>725008435
You're not gonna believe this, anon, but PEOPLE THOUGHT THE SWITCH 1 WAS OVERPRICED AT LAUNCH TOO. The Switch 1 saw success because it had blockbuster exclusives that everyone wanted, and because of the hybrid concept. It only became perceived as the "cheap" option comparatively as more expensive hardware started to release.
You could get systems like the PS4 or Xbox One which were way more powerful for way less money than the Switch 1 for the first 3.5 years of its lifespan. And that's with actual competent platforms that weren't constantly own-goaling + had GTA as a system seller.

How long till emutroons commit suicide?

>84percent-of-switch-2-players-transitioned
wow colour me surprised

At $800 yes. Thats way too much. You can buy a a high end 1080p gaming PC for that much.

>>725009056
But enough about the PS5 Pro

>>725009121
Most kids want gaming PC's these days not a snoy or shitendo locked down console.

Its really sad because for like $600 nearly the same price only $100 more, not even $800 you can build an AM4 1080p PC with a 9060XT and a ryzen 5500 WITH a 1080p 110% SRGB freesync 144hz monitor.

Switch 2 is a terrible value.

>>725009258
Not according to 10 million people

>>725009258
>Switch 2 apparently cost "$800"
>thinking kids care about gaming PCs
Take your meds, pc vegan

>>725006865
Holy wild extrapolation Batman. This data only means that most people who have a Switch 2 thus far also had a Switch 1. How is it in any way bad to retain your dedicated audience when going into next gen? There is no age breakdown, some of the people who made the jump could've been 10 when the Switch 1 came out and bought Switch 2 with their first disposable income and some of the 16% who didn't own a Switch 1 could be adults who only got into Nintendo/handhelds recently.

>>725009258
To eventually play what? Minecraft, Katamari, most indies can be played on Switch 1 & 2 for instance and I think Playstation can cover other bases for the "mature games for mature gamers such as myself" teens. And you're certainly not going to subjugate anyone into retro emulation as an argument point to get into PC, since that kind of thing can be done on a phone anyway.

According to Dave Gibson, a Japan based game industry analyst Capcom said something interesting:
>According to Capcom, some PS4 users are switching to the Switch 2 instead of the PlayStation 5.

>>725007942
they already did anon.
sony just threw out the very last 600k units of recorded ps2's made onto theor '''record'''
so it's now '''officiallly''' 160.6mil.
They quite literally can't go above this though without pulling massive copes.
it'll be a ps2mini

>>725006567 (OP)
Well yeah is this news to anyone? The hardware is better than the OG switch, yet allows you to still play Switch 1 games, better optimized for some. Pair that with people just wanting something new from Nintendo and now having exclusive first party Switch 2 games.

>>725009592
>>thinking kids care about gaming PCs
not him, but they overwhelmingly do. they're one of the main demographic bases of youtube and twitch. when's the last time you saw a twitch streamer playing a multiplatform game on anything but a PC?

>>725010634
And kids are watching that garbage on their phones and tablets. They aren't actually playing the games.

>>725010501
>Third-party games are doing well on Switch 2, attracting new customers.
About 7 million of the currently 20 million games sold aren't MKW or DKB and the vast majority of those must be third party since digital-only software isn't counted so stuff like Welcome Tour and Drag X Drive is out and only full physical Switch 2 Editions of Switch 1 games count as Switch 2 software sales. It doesn't seem like any individual third party game has hit 1 million copies so far because Nintendo would've mentioned it otherwise.

My parents bought me a game boy in 1996
My parents bought me a game boy advance in 2003
My parents bought me a ds in 2005
I bought a 3ds in 2011 on launch day
I bought a switch in 2018
I bought a switch 2 this year on launch day
I never had a nes, snes, n64, gamecube, wii or wii u

I haven't owned a sony console since the psp
I haven't owned a microsoft console since the 360
I haven't upgraded my computer since 2022 and probably wont for a long time since there are no good games being released that aren't low spec indie slop

Why did the soul die?

>>725010908
>It doesn't seem like any individual third party game has hit 1 million copies so far because Nintendo would've mentioned it otherwise.
I don't ever recall Nintendo mentioning individual sales of their third-party partners. Even then, that means people have actually no problem with the GKCs since they function virtually the same as the average console physical anyway.

>>725006567 (OP)
It's called leeching off of your cult.

>>725011004
So you're not an actual gamer and just play Mario and Pokemon all day like a kindergarten girl.

>>725011180
>I don't ever recall Nintendo mentioning individual sales of their third-party partners
They say "x number of games sold at least 1 million copies during this fiscal year, of which y from third party publishers".

>>725007047
Whats the scam? It plays video games

>>725011180
Speaking of Game Key Cards, I don't know if Nintendo counts those as physical or digital sales.

>>725011221
I play video games for fun sometimes, I would never refer to myself as a gaymer. Just like I'm not a booker because I read books or a movier because I watch movies

>>725010634
How does watching streamers play games make kids want a gaming pc exactly?

>>725010501
>Third-party games are doing well on Switch 2, attracting new customers.
But NDSfags told me no one is buying third party games on switch 2. So much for "Third party games are selling like shit because of GKCs" and "Tendies only play nintendo games"

>>725007578
I'm sure this anon has more of a grasp than every single one of Nintendo's analysis teams.
No seriously, they absolutely have significantly more data on this than you. You are stupidly letting your bias get in the way of proper decision making which is why you are unable to understand what they are doing.

So you don't play any games period faggot. You just had to list some and you somehow gave zero, so congratulations you absolute shitlord, now fuck off.

That number doesn't really mean anything other than it's a flop among the new generation of gamers. Only past fans are buying it. If it instead was 84 percent of switch owners bought a switch 2, then I'd be impressed.

>>725012207

A lot more, I clock in 150 hours to finish each character once (the 2nd one with max upgrade)
The overall damage mod is lower, and the enemies are stronger.
ExC is gone, the new support system is more balanced (but you can still break it when you feel like it)
Story is a huge improvement compared to 30, still some of the original story bad, is kinda shallow like the NOAH brands don't utilize all the faction (like L-gaim)

>>725016770
Oh ya, I spent like 350 hours on 30 to finish everything.

>>725016770
>>725016815
That already sounds good so far.
Are there more enemy types for each featured anime franchise too? One main issue I have with the modern SRW games since the HD era is not using different goons like, for example, how SRW T used the same Invader from Getter Robo Armageddon (despite Z2 had various sorts by comparison) or the Zombie Gundams from G Fighter were absent.

>>725017165
Nevermind my example of the Zombie Gundams, I think there were in T after all but they were always the same walking type while I recall the older SRW games featured variants like the flying ones.

>>725016063
So you're saying we can shitpost in threads for games you like and post CP and shit to get them deleted?

Good dog

I've been in Japan for two weeks and I've seen two children playing Switch 2s. Most everybody else is playing insanely good looking anime action games on their phones. Back in Seattle I saw one extremely fit, athletic Asian female playing Switch 2 in the park on her picnic blanket.

Based on my personal anecdotes and globe trotting, I can therefore conclude that Switch 2 is a failure and exclusively played by children and the occasional hot Asian American woman.

NTA but I do agree that anybody who claims to like videogames and Nintendo is lying. They just like Nintendo. It's like somebody saying they like animation and then proclaiming Disney to be the best.

So why would they like Nintendo then? Wouldn't they be more defensive of companies like ubisoft and Sony who regularly get praise for their graphics aka "shiny shit" while avoiding the fact that their gameplay is mediocre?

>>725019314
acfag your typing style is still too recognizable, you need to be a better man.

>>725006757
Statistically speaking you probably already have one.

>>725019446
Their gameplay is still better than Nintendo software. Playing Nintendo after all the hype is like some waking up from the Matrix shit. I don't understand how anybody can pretend Nintendo loves making games. Nintendo loves marketing. Their games are just prolonged commercials for all the Kirby/Pokemon/Mario merch.

Yeah, but that's also irrelevant. Nintendo is sleep inducing commercial breaks to announce new merchandise and keep that merchandise money flowing indefinite. That doesn't surprise me. What surprises me is adult virgin men going to bat for them.

lmao holy fucking shit the level of cope and seethe is off the fucking charts. I'm 36, I've been playing games for over 30 years. I've owned most console released during that time, including every single playstation console (except the vita fuck that garbage) and nintendo console (except the virtual boy and some gameboy variaitons I guess). I have also had a gaming PC the whole time.

I would argue the exact opposite of your absurd comment. Anyone who doesn't play nintendo games is missing the largest and most influential pillar in gaming history, and cannot be taken seriously as a true connoisseur of the medium.

>>725020057
Yeah I noticed. Let me correct the post.
>Astro Bot clears Nintendo's entire catalogue on the "mechnical" level. It's also just as boring. You should be specific versus pretending I'm being vague.
You might notice how the post to which I responded said absolutely nothing and so my nothing response, even with the error, still stands.

>>725022009

And so did the switch 1, more so than the PS5 in fact because they were competing with apple and yet the PS5 couldn't outsell it within the same time frame and with a holiday.

Thanks for putting this first, it lets me know you don't leave your basement and haven't got a clue wtf you're talking about so I can ignore the rest.

>>725022672
And yet PC gaming is growing massively year over year while mobile has largely stagnated and console adoption has declined massively over the past 15 years.

With the exception of Nintendo which just proves that making consoles into glorified PCs is not the answer.

>>725025547
Obsessed to the point that he can't even take a joke anymore

As I stated. Will only buy switch 2 if Mario Maker 3 is announced or if Duskblood is actually a switch exclusive.

>ESL melties because there is zero progress on a Switch 2 emulator
This is just going to keep happening isnt it

>>725025720
No, console adoption for Nintendo has also declined massively. They make more money because they charge far more and found new ways of extracting it from their users, like paid online. But 15 years ago they sold 255 million units of hardware. Coming off the Switch, it's 100 million less, half a billion less software, and still hasn't surpassed the DS alone.

Come on now, this is some third world logic. Also newsflash dipshit, gaming as a whole is basically a luxury at this point. Despite all the controversies, the Switch 2 is still the cheapest console. Shame about the software pricing tho.

>>725025957
anon having a DS and a wii wasn't mutually exclusive and much more common than one person owning more than one of the same console. also the switch sold more software than DS and Wii combined

>>725009687
> How is it in any way bad to retain your dedicated audience when going into next gen?

Because most of the people who bought a Switch 2 were people that got into Switch between 2017-2019, with 2017 being the biggest block. It’s a race to the bottom anon. Like Square, their business is now dedicated to milking people who grew up with the brands rather than trying to court a new audience. It’s probably why like half of their presentation is how they are going to push their IPs.

Is the newest xbox backwards compatible? I'm positive the ps5 is
Curious to see how the other consoles fared with moving on to the new gens
Sony already talking about the ps6 when they still have to release ps4 version of every game that comes to ps5 is wild

>>725025742
I was also making a joke, since Capcom recently mentioned how most japanese PS4 players bought the Switch 2 over the PS5. It's not wrong to say that they... transitioned.

>>725026452
Except that anon is 100% right. Look up the K-shaped economy. This is also why games are selling faster but worse.

>>725026256
>actually Nintendo had to kill their home console line and their handheld line still hasn't sold as well as their handheld line from 15 years ago
The only ones coping are Nintendo fanboys. Console adoption has declined massively and revenue only means they're charging their remaining audience more to make up for it.

>>725026545
And? You think if Nintendo had a dedicated home console that it would've done any better than the Wii U?

>>725027034
>>725027127
You lost.

>>725018865
What the fuck are you talking about anon. The most active Nintendo threads on this board are the fucking Famitsu threads. Meanwhile, MKW threads are ghost towns compared to Sonic Crossworlds and people talked about Uma Musume more than they ever did Donkey Kong Bananza (despite one Jannie’s best efforts). The only Switch 2 game to get any active threads is Kirby Air Riders. Nintendo fags care more about sales reports and that’s obvious to anyone who isn’t a tendie

>>725027034
>actually Nintendo had to kill their home console line
Switch is also a home console due of its hybrid nature (in addition to be a portable console), but full dedicated home consoles are becoming redundant because the gains between generations are less and less perceptible. And like the other anon said, Nintendo sold FAR more game softwares (including third-parties) on Switch 1 than DS/Wii combined

>>725027034
>Console adoption has declined massively
Except for Nintendo consoles, which is why Nintendo has been expanding their business recently.

>>725027034
anon the switch became the second best selling console already, selling alone more than 1.4 billion games, most of those from nintendo themselves

>>725027284
You think Nintendo wouldn't love to have two hardware lines doing well? They were forced into this because portability was carrying them.
>>725027447
Revenue != Adoption

>>725027127
probably not with the switch at the same time

>>725027720
It still has not outsold the DS, let alone come close to units sold during the Wii/DS era.
Nintendo had to kill their home console line for a reason.

>>725027785
>You think Nintendo wouldn't love to have two hardware lines doing well?
but why produce two different product when they can make one that will sell more software since they can focus on one console?

>>725027850
>let alone come close to units sold during the Wii/DS era
my dude most people that bought one had the other. not only that but the switch sold more software than Wii and DS combined

>>725027785
>You think Nintendo wouldn't love to have two hardware lines doing well?
For what literal purpose and advantages to divide things?
>They were forced into this because portability was carrying them.
No. Like I said, they were aware that full home consoles weren't worth in the long run because graphics are barely evolving and portable devices were catching up quickly in terms of hardware power. Hence combining the home and portable consoles into a single thing.

>>725027850
Actually it has outsold the DS. The quarterly report we have puts the difference between the DS and Switch at only 10k and that number is only up until the end of September. Just from the Famitsu data alone we know that Switch has sold more than that since then.

>>725027785
And revenue != profit, which Nintendo gets a lot off. (Which incidentally means their revenue is good too.)

>>725007047
What's more likely? People bought the system because they saw value in it or they were all duped?

>>725028091
> No. Like I said, they were aware that full home consoles weren't worth in the long run

The PS4 went on to sell 120 million and the PS5 has sold 80 million. Nintendo killed their handheld line because they couldn’t compete with Sony in the console space.

snoyjeet streeshitters really aren't taking the news too well huh?

>>725028401
You're absolutely a daft nigger. Nintendo simply believed that there was no point to keep a separate home console and separate portable console because the margin in power between the two ecosystems was getting lower and lower (for most games, including theirs) so it was logical to combine the two instead. You could already see with plenty of Japanese multiplats and ports playing the same on Switch 1 vs PS4 with minimal concessions, and now the differences between Switch 2 and PS5 are virtually non-existent.

And console sales mean absolutely nothing if the software sales aren't marginally bigger by comparison.

Genuinely I do not understand Nintendo shills, this company shits on you at every opportunity. They expressly hate their fans, they shut down fan projects, they shut down ROM sites of old games then never release their old games or when they do release them for like $60 or as part of a subscription fee that you lose if you stop paying. They charge you for online, they charge you $20 a pop to unlock your game's framerate with better hardware, something that PC players have been doing for free since the beginning of gaming.

Yet here they are spamming threads treading Switch 2 sales numbers like hits of dopamine into their bloodstream, calling anyone who dares to naysay the corporate boot they lick a Sony shill. If I didn't know better I'd think Nintendo hired these people but unfortunately I know that these are the Disney adults of gaming, willing to throw themselves down in front of a firing squad to defend their evil corporation because of nostalgia.

I grew up with Nintendo too. I had a Gamecube as a kid not a PS2. It's time to move on, they're not the same company anymore.

>>725028401
And the Switch went on to sell 154 million which beats the PS4 and PS5 numbers out of the water.

>>725028732

>>725028676
It wasn't just about power, the entire thing about Switch is that it does both, it's a hybrid console. Everything about business is about doing it FIRST (or close enough to it like Fortnite) There's nothing Playstation or Xbox could do once Switch took off. Nintendo got their exclusives and every third party games can also be played on a handheld, its value is unbeatable. Tons of people double dip and buy games they already have
