i honestly don't get how this thing is still selling in 2023. "it has games!!!!" is not a solid argument either when every system has games and switch is the only one that lacks popular AAA titles.
It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |

>implying PS5 and SeX have games
you are such a fricking moron, holy shit
It does have games you dipshit. Dead Space, Forspoken, Hogwarts Legacy, all huge AAA games coming out within weeks of eachother and Resident Evil 4, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Street Fighter VI following soon after. switch is getting NONE of them.
>BIUT MUUUUUUUH PC!!!!! MUH EXCLOOOOOOSVIES!!!!!
Normies don't give a frick. Third party games sell most on Playstation consoles.
Do you think Hogwarts Legacy will run well on the switch?
Harry Potter is on Switch and Switch already has the Street Fighter Collection so there's no need for yet another garbage 3D SF from NuCapcom.
Also just because you don't have a PC doesn't mean console multiplats are not multiplats. Anyone with a brain is doing Switch + PC.
>Dead Space, Forspoken, Hogwarts Legacy, all huge AAA games coming out within weeks of eachother and Resident Evil 4, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Street Fighter VI following soon after. switch is getting NONE of them.
How well did these sell compared to Pokemon, Mario Kart, Pokemon, Smash, BotW, Pokemon, Mario Odyssey, Pokemon, Ringfit, Super Mario Party, Pokemon, Splatoon, etc etc
Elden Ring sold more on PC than on playstation anon, its not 2005 anymore
Series X has games, I just put like 25 GameCube isos on a USB stick
>lacks popular AAA titles
Doesn't matter. It has Zelda, Mario, and Pokemon along with an assortment of other exclusive IPs
it has Nintendo games
>"it has games!!!!" is not a solid argument
It's japanese and its the only place to get away from LGBT mob sometimes
So is the PS5. And what's LGTB about Dead Space? God of War? Elden Ring?
Well compare them to Xenoblade seethe 2.
That game makes snoys, homosexuals, tranoids and just leftoids in general seethe hard.
The seethe was so catastrophically high Xenoblade 3 got toned down.
the PS5 is a Californian console
>popular AAA titles
I don't play any of those. The multiplats I'm most looking forward to this year are Labyrinth of Galleria, Silksong, and Ryza 3, all of which I'd prefer to play on my OLED. Add to that TotK and the Switch is still the best console on the market right now. The only thing I can think of that I wont be able to play on Switch or PC is Rebirth, but I'm not buying a PS5 for fricking Rebirth.
your loss.
What am I missing out on? I watched this past game awards and every big AAA game they showed looked like exactly the same generic thing and it all blended together. Even the big franchises I used to like are going so long between releases at this point it feels like it's not even worth getting excited about them, and after how bad FFXV, GTAV, and Skyrim were those franchises are basically dead to me until I see them do something different. I'll probably play the new Ys and Disgaea before the next GTA or Elder Scrolls, and the last Ys and Disgaea were pretty lackluster.
>"it has games!!!!" is not a solid argument
the delusion of the average snoy
This perfecrly encapsulates every arguement on this board ever
it has a lot of games, much more than the other modern consoles and pretty much most console gamers will find games they can have fun with exclusives or ports, handheld or docked, just covers most people in some way
Games
Because the hybrid concept is appealing and the library of exclusive games is good, it's not rocket science. The lack of third-party AAA games is only going to start hurting from this year onwards, because the last 2 years have been pretty uneventful aside from a couple of games like Elden Ring.
Its portable, and it has Nintendo, literally all you need.
Now that this is a Zelda year, expect it to move 30M units.
Anybody who wants Zelda already has a switch. I don't see it moving much hardware
Why do repeat this cope when its already been proven wrong multiple times by games like pokemon?
Except for the fact that Pokemon didn't actually stop the slowdown in sales and the Switch is still down 20% YoY. What the frick is wrong with you moronic cultists?
>switch is down 20% in it's 6th fricking year.
>somehow that's bad.
Imagine being this fricking quick to move the goalposts.
i'm not moving the goalpost, you stupid Black person.
I'm pointing at the stupidity of your argument.
Also this
Get fricked, Black personhomosexual.
>Zelda won't change the slowdown in hardware sales
>"POKEMON DID"
>It didn't and sales are down 20% YoY
>"BUT IT'S STILL SELLING LE WELL BETTER THAN MUH PS5 AND XBOX"
Yes you are changing the goalposts, you moronic mongrel. I'm ready to laugh my ass off after reality slaps you Black person cultists in the face again.
Just because sales were down 20% YoY, doesn't mean Pokemon didn't give it a boost in November.
Black person, the sales are exceptional for a fricking tablet entering its 7th year of sales. Stop being a moronic homosexual.
20% it's nothing and the shit is selling more than the two other turds.
And all this without a single price drop.
PS5 is not a turd butthole. Your jelosy is literally so apparent at this point that it's sad to watch. One day maybe you'll have enough pocketm oney ot afford one for yourself but don't go lashing out on internet websites just because you don't have one.
>ps5 is not a turd.
Yeah, it's the whole septic tank.
>PS5 is not a turd
Software sales disagree
Such heavy tears that they are falling on you keyboard and fricking up your spelling
>PS5 is not a turd butthole.
Yeah at least turds can be used as fertilizer. The PS5 has no uses.
Because being down 20% YOY entering its 7th year on the market is normal and expected. Also when that 20% drop means its still selling almost 20 million units in its 6th year, its a sign of strong late life market performance.
>Switch is still down 20% YoY
And it's still selling more than both the PS5 and Xbox lol
>Switch is still down 20% YoY
You mean returning to normal after the free covid boost
>Anybody who wants [game] already has a switch
Been hearing this since early 2018.
>unironically listing forspoken
Why are people even responding to this homosexual?
In all fields
>KiggerNiller69
1. Kids. There are tons of fricking kids. It's an easy gift to shut them up and nintendo is harmless.
2. We're at peak disposable income right now. Even with poverty.
Most kids game on PS4/PS5.
>kids
Most of the switch’s playerbase is in their 20s anon
The Switch is probably the least popular console with kids. There are more people in their 40's who have a Switch than there are people under 18.
>yeah, manchildren!
Yes, if you are still playing video games in your 40's you are probably a manchild, and yet here we are.
Nintendo is simply the only option if you don't want to pay for microtransactions. Like 90% of major third party games have substantial microtransactions at this point. And microtransactions fricking suck.
It's not selling? Didn't they just announce sales are down 100 percent or some shit compared to 2020 and 2021?
No, they just announced they are increasing production to meet demand in 2023.
>No, they just announced they are increasing production to meet demand in 2023.
I'm not him but they didn't actually announce that it was a "leak." It came from a reputable source but leaks about Nintendo have not had the best track record so let's wait for their actual projections first.
Clearing up the switch sales trends:
>1
Switch sales are absolutely declining. This is not just because of covid, because it's been a very consistent and gradual drop, it's just declining demand due to market saturation.
>2
They're still pretty high, likely finishing this year around 18-19 million
Nintendo can do fine in 2023, selling 14-15 million and then launch a successor in 2024.
Thanks Don letting us know you're an idiot! Whenever you don't understand other easy to comprehend topics please feel free to post them as well so we can see just how incapable you are!
>honestly don't get how this thing is still selling in 2023
Its the cheapest option out of the four and parents always go for whats cheapest
It's the console for kids.
Back in the day you could argue to a parent that playstation was for kids or xbox when that became a thing was for kids. Not anymore.
Yes switch has some adult titles but parents don't know about them.
It's the defacto thing parents buy now.
Kids are only interested in the PS5 though.
>It's the console for kids.
That's Playstation
>muh kids
How does a person keep on saying the same cope over and over when proven that its untrue, is it autism at this point?
The same autism that keeps defending BOTW like its a breakthrough or revolutionary or innovative. It's just the ability to ignore reality, facts, and counterpoints and keep restating what you think until the fiction becomes fact.
t.Been a Nintendo fan since 1989 before you initiate damage control.
6 years on and still seething over BOTW.
6 years on and still ignoring every counterpoint and well documented problem with the game and offering no counterargument because you live in your own reality.
You lose.
>well documented problem
>"check out this well documented reddit post!"
so you dont know
Triple A is synonymous with being overmarketed trash. If "Triple A" as a selling point, and games that are pushed by marketing to sell it over gameplay arent red flags to you, you're part of the problem.
>when every system has games
Could have fooled me.
>lacks popular AAA titles
Good, I don't play popular AAA titles.
>M$ has no games
>PS5 has no games, only movies
>PChomosexuals (aka Steamcucks) only either pirate their games to test their rig and/or play older titles on emulators
>Switch actually has games and IPs people give a shit about
Not that hard to grasp.
This thing is functionally a Nintendo portable. People buy Nintendo portables.
>"it has games!!!!" is not a solid argument
Yes it is gay
>"it has games!!!!" is not a solid argument either
Reminds me of this
The amount of hate I have for the switch is boundless. This system is wildly successful for no reason. People that I’ve never associated with video games in my life have a switch and these people just buy en masse any mediocre game made for it, ensuring the success of anything released on it.
Any game sold in this is a guaranteed success and will be the best selling entry of its respective series. It’s nice for things like Metroid but sucks for series that already sell like hotcakes like Pokemon because it’ll only further encourage decline in quality for popular game series that don’t have to try anymore.
This thing is essentially Nintendo’s console and handheld market combined into one, so if anything it should have twice the library of the 3DS or Wii at the end of its life (next year?) but it just somehow has maybe half of one of those system’s games, and a good portion of the first party games in the switch aren’t even original, theyre Wii U ports.
The system is soulless and has no personality or customization . Never thought I’d miss something like themes from the 3S, and its handling of virtual console is fricking trash and is just another sad attempt at getting subscriptions out of people somehow. It’s even more insulting because their “online” games use the shittiest servers and the virtual console library is puny at that.
I could say more but I don’t really want to go on more of a tangent. This thing sucks
>and a good portion of the first party games in the switch aren’t even original, theyre Wii U ports.
If by "good portion" you mean about 5-7% of first party releases then yeah.
Look how mad xhe is at s toy lol
Sales are down
>Vgshartz
>VGcharts good when pro nintroony
Vgshartz is never acceptable.
>websites that heavily scews towards boosting sony
Yeah I mean if you’re super biased to one side and you still can’t spin it to make them look good, that’s generally a good indicator
Eat shit.
Dial Eight
>it has games is not a solid argument
Absolute state of Snoys. Maybe you’ll get some games in 2024 if you behave.
It has games!!!!
its cheap, portable, and has games, both AAA and exclusives. it doesnt have cod but has other popular AAA games.
>what is 2+2?
>no don’t say 4, give me a real answer
Is Harry Potter going to run natively on the Switch or is it some kind of cloud gaming shit? How the frick is it going to run if native? 480p?
I think the game is just unoptimized for PC and is optimized for consoles, most of the devs experience prior were movie tie-ins that didn’t launch on PC which explains the horrendous requirements
yes
Video games.
>"it has games!!!!" is not a solid argument either
excuse me? a console having (and still getting) games is not an argument as to why a console is selling? damn Gankertards keep surprising me everyday with their lack of intelligence
>still getting
Yes?
never forget
lmao, i also have my own collection of Ganker being moronic
it's the best and easiest thing to turn on and entertain friends with. it's easy to port around to gatherings. it's telling i'm the only person talking about this in the thread.
Maybe your AAA crap is hot garbage in the first place?
>bing boing!!!! wahoooo!!!
It's a great choice for oldgays that hate modern AAA gaming. I have a gaming rig and I don't even bother pirating 90% of garbage Ganker drools about. I give annual GotY(Garbage of the Year) a chance and it's always a disappointment. Most recent one is Garbage Ring. And I still haven't recovered from Cybergarbage 2077 back in 2021
Anyways, my PC is hooked up to big screen TV so I'm already set with the couch gaming but I still prefer playing in handheld mode. It's just too damn comfy
