Why wouldn't it? cheapest console, home console & portable, huge library through backwards compatibility, great exclusives, good third party support,

PSP was rampant piracy coupled with bad sales for almost all games, so much so that Mega Man got put in cryogenic storage for it (this was on top of the stupid decision Capcom made to ignore high Mega Man sales on Nintendo handhelds and only put ZX onto the DS)

People have been waiting for a switch 2 for like 4 years. This shouldn't be a surprise unless you keep your head in the sand.
Despite what redditors tell you, the average person could not give less of a shit about muh digital key cards.
I keep thinking about buying one. I know there's no games. I know there's nothing on it that I want. I don't even care about Metroid Prime. I hate Mario Kart. I couldn't care less about Donkey Kong. Yet I still keep considering buying one. I still use my first Switch a few times a week in like 20 minute bursts. Yet I still want a Switch 2. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me. Do I have capitalism disease?

Last night some tard was arguing that we need to account for a larger population than what it was 5 years ago and so we need to inflate the sales number for ps5 based on that. That is some mental gymnastics.
>>725040890
was he using population increase as a form of inflation? wouldn't it be worse if there's more people, but less systems sold than past generations?
Honestly. It's probably just because the messaging for the Switch 2 is as clear as it could've been >It's the Switch but better >Also here's a new Mario Kart >buy it
It's the Switch again, but upgraded. Something so simple, even the dumbest of normals could figure it out. It's no wonder its selling, but basically just the Switch again, and everyone is treating it like it

There was zero logic to his argument and he was speaking in broken English. It’s turd worlders with room temperature iq trying to convince themselves their tribe is always winning. The only thing he holds dearer is his fútbol team.
>>725043208
it's so weird that the switch 1 snap sound comes from the speakers when you slide them on, but the switch 2 snap sounds is the natural sound of the magnet slamming the joycons to the side
>>725044316
You seem to think someone smart enough to finally crack the Switch 2 is going to ruin his life just so you can pirate Switch 2 games.
So naive.
>>725044423
it's first quarter was good among all console first quarters on the whole. there weren't any red flags until after. unlike the 3ds where it only took a month for everything to obviously collapse.
>>725039695 >huge library through backwards compatibility
Yes. However, you can already play them. No Switch 2 required. >great exclusives
Like? Which ones do you play?
Sony's right now marketing the PS5 with imaginary content and all they can say is "it happens on PS5" probably because of laws because their games are on PC. Meanwhile Nintendo is marketing NS2 with real games and just announced they're gonna focus on NS2 which is hilarious if you think about it. Sony fanboys keeps saying "Nintendo is a generation behind ;)) XD" but Sony doesn't even make exclusives for their new consoles, they're just focusing on their old console. Practically every PS5 """exclusive""" is also available on PS4 and PC
All you have to do is make sure you have enough stock to go around. It is literally that simple. People can and will write things off if they have to stand in a line for it. I didn't preorder a switch 2 and was able to get it a week after launch at costco. No fuss, no muss. No digital queue, no ebay scalping, no bots.
>>725044842
it was only slightly below the wii's first quarter. the wii was historically stock constrained so its hard to say how the wii would have done if it had stock like the switch 2 did. same goes for the ps5 and eckbock series..
>>725044976
I still have my two fat PS1s. My childhood one is the useless 9001 model. The OG controllers for it leaked something white and nasty in storage. I think my parents ate the link cable.
>>725045003
Nobody cares if they’re on ps4 or pc though. Ps5 buyers are people who want multi plats but dont have the money or want to spend it on a pc and want a console experience
>>725045243 >Ps5 buyers are people who want multi plats but dont have the money or want to spend it on a pc and want a console experience
Yeah but that's why Playstation is so fucked, third parties will all support NS2 and it'll drive massive amounts of console and SW sales. I saw someone post yesterday that Capcom noted that PS4 owners were buying NS2 over PS5
>>725045386
What about gta 6? The game that hundreds of millions of people are going to be looking at and trying to play in may? Can’t get that on a switch 2 or ps4
>>725041329 >THE SALES ARE FRONTLOADED >MOMENTUM WILL DIE OFF SOON >NO ONE IS DISCUSSING SWITCH 2 NONE OF MY FRIENDS OWN ONE >30-40 MILLION LIFETIME SALES AT MOST >REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>725045130 >Why didn't you just pay for a forwarding service and expensive import shipping for a system that's in a langauge you don't read, that's locked to japanese servers?
I didn't have to, because costco had it in stock in a week.
>>725043508 >Most people don't know that the steam deck even exists
It wouldn't be doing so well, if were true unless you're talking about the world, then yes. Can't wait for the Deck 2, it's using an ARM chip believe to be based on AMD's Soundwave chip, a 3nm node, RDNA 3.5+. God, I love that Nintendo and Valve do their own thing and to hell with everyone else.
>>725046017
I love my sw2 but there is no way in hell gta6 will come to sw2, you can't just expect a port mid-development for a new target hardware like that.
>>725046164 >How could the switch 2 even run it?
They could port freaking Space Marine 2 to NS2, it wouldn't be a problem.
>>725046206
Average retards online are either fanboys or got no knowledge about technology and that includes the retards like DF. For all we know Nintendo asked T2/Rockstar directly what they would need to run GTA 6. It might not be there day 1 but it's coming.
>>725046613 >It might not be there day 1 but it's coming
Don't think so, cyberpunk barely runs decently and rockstar wouldn't dare to put a port that doesn't run butterly smooth, they would have to make a game from the ground up to have decent performance, and like I said, you can't just port shit on a new platform mid-development, they would have to redo everything when they already have a base target in wich it runs and the switch 2 wouldn't cut it.
>>725047586
Its a comparison dumb anime poster, cyberpunk its an old game that barely runs on sw2.
GTA6 is a generation above cyberpunk, as much as I would love it on my sw2 you won't see it happening.
