The other consoles are literally poor man PCs, the switch is has it's own niche with combining the audience and games from nintendo's past consoles and handhelds
But was it really? I mean Amiibo were cleverly marketed. SteamDeck was cleverly marketed. Switch didn't try anything beyond the name difference with the WiiU. I do think it was a fluke and now Nintendo is unfortunately in a position where they can just release remasters and other low-effort products.
It’s like apple products, everyone skips a generation. Everyone got a SNES so they skipped GameCube so they all bought the Wii, and then skipped the WiiU and now everyone bought the Switch.
Not really, had a flow of good first party games in it's first few years. Gave you all the essentials you need from the box. Avoided the problems the VITA had with memory. Had optional gimmicks, making developers more willingly to give it a chance unlike the Wii U.
>The PS4 was more of a fluke than the Switch.
No joke I agree. Sony did had good games but those said games came out when the PS4 was already dominating. It only got popular because it was the only console that didn't frick up.
I believe it but it's mindboggling. Children don't even want Nintendo shit anymore. Give them a tablet and smartphone and they'll never touch a gaming console ever in their life.
It was a cool novelty when there were no other handhelds that could play console games on the go but the Deck has pretty much invalidated it and inspired a new generation of copycats
When 3DS fumbled they did everything they could to save it and it ended up selling a respecable 80 million. It happened at the price of Wii U, but now they don't have to support 2 systems anymore
No, it's a girl's system. Girls don't want PC girls don't want PlayStation girls don't want Xbox. They want their cute animal crossing/Tetris/Mario kart box
i really wanna see nintendo try the wii u concept again. it was so good, just ruined by shitty marketing.
they could even do it with a switch 2 or something, just do the reverse of the wii u: handheld main console and the dock as the streaming client.
its pretty obvious something with this type of portability and plus potential for carrying nintendos entire library and low price point means its going to be sticking around for a very long time.
Why do you think that op? Care to elaborate?
moronic trash .. ps4 PS5 ps vita & all os playstation & sony & there japanese games kills gay trash switch end of story.

No, I'm not moronic.

How are you enjoying Splatoon 3 pcbro? You can't play it? And PC hasn't had a decent exclusive in decades? No wonder you're so desperate
I have a switch, don't care much for splatoon tbh
>pcbros
>not having a switch
Christ anon. He defended the switch and you went full auto pilot defence mode.
Get help, touch grass, have sex
It's pretty cool, thank you
Yes I can play it
Yes, the platform doesn't need exclusives to be the best
Desperate for what?
Mindbroken
literally
How? It's cleverly marketed

explain the N64
SNES-CD was stillborn
No, it's convenient as frick.
Nintendo Switch has games
They have an army of timmies who grew up watching Kirby lore videos who think playing Nintendo is “cool”
then explain why the wii u flopped you disgusting snoy
there's only about 11 million or so hardcore nintendo fans in existence, wii u proved it.

no plants vs zombies garden warfare
Maybe because Nintendo fans are by extension glorified shills who sing nintendos praises like it’s a way of life
funny you say that because you see far more people shilling the SteamDeck than any other product on Ganker
No. When has portable Nintendo ever NOT sold well? The PS4 was more of a fluke than the Switch.

It’s just manchildren buying like 2-3 switches each. Most kids who play switch are only playing fortnite
Mine just died and I don't want to buy another one, very gay
>Eshop sale
>Diablo 2 is supposedly on sale
>Its still full price for me
HUH, WHAT IS THIS SCAM SHIT
Depending on the region sometimes it takes a while to update the prices
It is on sale, tho.
>Does anyone else feel like a console making 111-milliom sales is a fluke?
Nope. Why do you think it's a fluke OP?
>anyone else feel like the sale of a handheld from a company known for handhelds is a fluke
>anyone else feel like the Switch sales are a total fluke?
GB/C 118mil
GBA 81mil
NDS 154mil
3DS 76mil
N/S 111mil+
No. About what I would expect, especially since it is also their home console.
It was a cool novelty when there were no other handhelds that could play console games on the go but the Deck has pretty much invalidated it and inspired a new generation of copycats
yet the Switch is still mogging the deck and all copycats in sales to this day
I wonder if Nintendo can break it's follow up console curse? Usually they fumble after they make a successful console.
>Introducing the New Nintendo Switch
>But, timmy you already have a switch
When 3DS fumbled they did everything they could to save it and it ended up selling a respecable 80 million. It happened at the price of Wii U, but now they don't have to support 2 systems anymore
sadly, reality doesn't care about your feelings, and the switch is going to become the third best selling console ever before the end of the year
are you one of the morons who kept spouting that the switch was gonna ruin nintendo?
No, it's a girl's system. Girls don't want PC girls don't want PlayStation girls don't want Xbox. They want their cute animal crossing/Tetris/Mario kart box
oink oink oink
Compare
to this
And then tell me why the Wii U was a flop while the Switch was not.
i really wanna see nintendo try the wii u concept again. it was so good, just ruined by shitty marketing.
they could even do it with a switch 2 or something, just do the reverse of the wii u: handheld main console and the dock as the streaming client.
the wii u looks like fricking shit and i actually owned one
It isn't thursday and Black folk are already seething wtf?
its pretty obvious something with this type of portability and plus potential for carrying nintendos entire library and low price point means its going to be sticking around for a very long time.
I just hope the switch cards fit into the next console.
