people today are more infantile than ever - and it's by design. they can't think for themselves, and cave in to buying whatever garbage they're TOLD to.
I'm glad I have a soul.
Games.
A constant stream of high quality games.
You could get a switch and only buy exclusives for it and you would still have more then enough to play.
I like to play bing bing wahoo, since their great "game" games and my kid can watch me play whilst he is having a great time with the Bing Bings and even more so "the wahoo's"
You go play your "adult" vidya and feel al grown up whilst you wank out another one to one of your 2d gf's
>people today are more infantile than ever
I don't know what you mean by infant games like Zelda, Metroid or Fire Emblem, but if you mean that in these times there are much more children in the world, who will buy them the console, and that parents do not worry about the TV for portability, well yes, it is true
>people today are more infantile than ever
>engaging in console war homosexualry
You're living proof
/thread
Watch them go apeshit over the dumbass Orin Nano getting shoved into the successor. You can guarantee that Nintendo's biding its time until they can put it out at discount prices, but by that point, there'll be dozens of similar portables that outstrip it by miles.
This, shitch 2 will get mogged hard
You have to think that Nintendo is no longer betting on power
That in turn makes them make good games, or at least that makes them see it, since having a limited hardware, they care more about making the game stable on that hardware, not so much in graphics, and that it is a good game
And this is coming from someone who plays mainly on PC
The next console will be a success, having, again, an outdated hardware
Nintendo is betting on power. They bet on power with Switch too.
It's only that they're limited by the form factor (by their own design). Switch had the best SoC they could've picked in 2017
Droped on by to ask if i missed any games to try on my emulator, but the library is just filled with old Steam games. Maybe you're right and people are just told to love it and they do.
There are no shitch games.
Astral Chain is pretty good if you like action games. Well, it's pretty okay. But if you're already playing Bayo, you should try Astral Chain.
Like clockwork
the competition is even worse
SPBP
Also less censorship on third party. For example PS4 removes jiggle while switch versions keep it. I used to buy sony up to PS4 but not getting LGBT station after their censor move and push of gays.
What competition?
Being antagonistic towards the video game industry will instantly get women to support you.
Games that people want to play. The main reason that any game system succeeds. Any other answer is a cope.
It has like a game or two.
definitely not the game selection lmfao.
Cope cod shitter
cope, I'm getting mario wonder and rpg
Nintendo Switch has games
Tendies are cultists and will but whatever nintendo tells them too, that’s the only reason
The shitch is a joke that gets raped by the Steam Deck and if it wasn’t for tendies throwing money at the Cult of the Glorious BINGBING it would be off the market by now
Yeah that wii u totally benefited from the cultists.
Don't forget the Virtual Boy.
The cult only came about because of BotW. The cult simply didn't exist before that point.
>tendie cult didn't exist before botw
Do you not remember the 8.8 controversy? When a mainline nintendo game getting what's essentially a 9/10 was considered unbelievably low?
That was moreso a smaller Zelda cult than a Nintendo-as-a-whole cult like we have now.
the Steam Deck is an overpriced hunk of garbage
But enough about the shitch
the switch is very affordable. unless you're a poor, I guess. I don't know what life is like for poors
Bro.... What I tolf you.... I own both a Switch AND Steam Deck.... Because I'm not poor lol
It has games unlike the competition
Advertising. The exact same reason the Wii U flopped.
wii u flopped because the games are terrible.
>wiiu games
:^/
>rehashed wiiu games, switch
8^O
properly edit a wojak meme you lazy gay
Absolutely BTFO
This is what clinical moronation looks like.
>b-but they sell on the switch!
so does anything nintendo. don't defend bad games just because your console is selling.
This is what clinical moronation looks like.
You're the grown man getting upset over a handheld. Not me.
You seem to be of two minds here. You claim that the Wii U sold poorly because of bad games. Then you claim that Wii U games ported to the Switch are selling solely because they are Nintendo. If games sold solely because they are Nintendo products, then the Wii U would have been a success and its games would have sold well.
Yes. You have clinical moronation.
Switch certainly isn't selling because it has great games. The games are the same garbage. You don't seem to understand why the Switch is selling.
And now you're trying to completely change the conversation, but my rebuttal is still basically the same.
If the Switch is selling solely because Nintendo, then why did the Wii U not sell?
Were dropped on your head as a child? What is it like making console war homosexualry a part of your life?
>And now you're trying to completely change the conversation
On the contrary. These are all shit games. Do you think these are good? Genuinely answer.
nta, if youre calling *all* these games shit you're probably a cod zoomer troon or you don't play games in the first place or, who knows, maybe your taste is just that limited to one specific autism genre
Go on, drop the hottest slickest title from there. Name it. What do you care about the most? What stands out so head over shoulders over what was on the wii u 12 years ago?
metroid dread
metroid prime remastered
literally every shantae game dropped on the console including the DS and GBC ones (not wii u so suck my wiener)
i don't personally like zelda, but if you deny it's at least "good", you're an ignorant gay
mario titles are always good if not great, they're simplistic but always fun
>metroid dread
A dated back tracker where you skitter around poorly set up stealth sections and hunt for +5 missile upgrades. Why do we pretend this is good?
>metroid prime remastered
This shit was bad on gamecube let alone shitch.
>literally every shantae game
Is on basically every platform from 2011 and up. Come on, baby's first monster world knock offs with 4kids tier T&A? Do you even play games or just overmarketed gooner shit?
>mario titles are always good if not great
Terribly boring. Not even you can motivate yourself to say anything meaningful about them.
Have you ever owned a non-Nintendo console?
>There are many games on that list which are exceptionally great in their respective genres.
There's not a single game that's considered a high mark in their genre there. In 10 years no one is going to want to go back to the switch.
>There's not a single game that's considered a high mark in their genre there.
Hades (hack&slash roguelite)
Breath of the Wild (open-world adventure rpg)
Hollow Knight (metroidvania)
Mario and Rabbids (turn-based strategy, the "xcom" essentially)
Metroid Prime (remastered but it's essentially the same, metroidvania duh)
Stardew Valley (it's pretty much a game that defines it's "open-ended farming sim/rpg" subgenre)
Mario Kart 8 (racing, kart racer)
Bayonetta 2 and 3 (hack & slash)
fricking Portal
Into the Breach (turn based strategy)
Pikmin 4 (although I didn't play this so I can't genuinely say if it's as good as many players claim)
All of these games are highly or very highly regarded in their own genres and subgenres.
>In 10 years no one is going to want to go back to the switch
The switch is already 6 years old anon and still going strong in terms of sales. It already both outlived and outsold the majority of playstation and xbox consoles.
>multiplat
>Wii U game
>multiplat
>lmao
>short
>Wii U game
>not even close to peak Platinum
>are you actually meming
>seriously are you
>yeah you might be
None of these games are remotely notable as Switch games. Not a single one.
>tendies have to wait 20 years to play a game
are you dipshits actually serious?
post the games you like anon
you won't because you're a homosexual
Just because I like Hollow Knight, ITB or Pikmin doesn't make your argument any less moronic.
>multiplat
Just because a game isn't exclusive to a console doesn't mean it can't be good anon. What are you talking about?
>Wii U game
Is this supposed to be an argument on its own? You spout the name of the console and now it's somehow inherently bad?
>lmao
How to oust yourself for not playing a game (Mario and Rabbids in particular, because it is indeed good)
>short
The lenght of a game isn't outright correlated with quality.
>not even close to peak Platinum
It may not be the singular best game they made but all bayonetta games including 2 and 3 are both highly regarded by the critics and (actual) players alike and have sold relatively well even when it was a switch exclusive.
>are you actually meming
No, portal is a good game.
>seriously are you
No, Into the Breach is a good game.
>yeah you might be
So how much did you play Pikmin 4 before you've came to your conclusion?
I would be willing to bet that you've never played the majority of these games.
>None of these games are remotely notable as Switch games. Not a single one.
You mean Breath of the Wild which is literally in the top 5 of game sales on switch? Frick I really hope you are just drunk right now and not writing these things sober.
Also, what the frick does "remotely notable as Switch games" even mean? If the game is good and on the switch then what more do you even fricking want?
Nice "games" kek
You listed 4 Switch games, one of which a short metroidvania, another an Xcom clone, a single Bayo game and Pikmin. Everything else is available on other consoles. How the frick do you think that makes for a compelling argument when I can play everything else on any other platform?
You would also lose that bet, I've played 7 of the games you've listed. Rich coming from a zoomer praising Portal or Metroid Prime in 2023.
BoTW is not a Switch exclusive, I don't give a shit about sales.
>If the game is good and on the switch then what more do you even fricking want?
If a game is good on the PC/PS/XB and good on the Switch then it's not a notable Switch game. How dumb do you have to be if you can;t grasp that? Why would something be notable on your platform when every other platform has it as well dumbass? It's like calling HK a notable PS4 game, it's obviously not.
Ah, I see where we disagree.
Just because something is available elsewhere somehow discredits the game.
>How the frick do you think that makes for a compelling argument when I can play everything else on any other platform?
It's simple, you can play them on that platform too. I'm not sure why the whole "only exclusives count" mentality is still alive, why do you honestly care if it's available elsewhere?
>inb4 why would I buy a switch for these games when I can play them on a PC?
Apart from it being portable and the possibility to play while traveling? If you are only targetting non-exclusive titles you simply shouldn't. I'm not forcing you to buy anything.
You have to keep in mind that a lot of people don't have a lot of money to spare and when picking a console they might gravitate towards the current gen one with the most games, period.
>You would also lose that bet, I've played 7 of the games you've listed.
Then I stand corrected.
>Rich coming from a zoomer praising Portal or Metroid Prime in 2023.
Don't you find it odd that you essentially growl at me for projecting wether you would play these games or not and then immediately you start projecting that I am a zoomer because I like portal and metroid prime? Tough luck on your guess.
>BoTW is not a Switch exclusive, I don't give a shit about sales.
I don't give a shit about exclusivity. It's on the switch and I can play it when I am not at home. I don't care if someone can play that too on their Wii U.
>If a game is good on the PC/PS/XB and good on the Switch then it's not a notable Switch game.
If you discount sales figures then yes, it's not a "notable" switch game but why would you care at that point? Why is it an issue that those platforms can play those games aswell?
If it is:
a) a good game
b) on switch
then it becomes a good switch game. Wether it's available on other consoles is only meaningful if that platform has more games.
>inb4 then use a PC
I do and when I don't it's the switch.
>Just because something is available elsewhere somehow discredits the game.
It discredits the platform dumbfrick.
>I'm not sure why the whole "only exclusives count" mentality is still alive, why do you honestly care if it's available elsewhere?
Because why the frick would I buy a $60 physical copy of a game on a shitty tablet when I can get it on PC and play it at double the resoltuion, quadriple the framerate and half the price? Do you not understand the point of a game console?
>Apart from it being portable and the possibility to play while traveling?
Have you heard of this thing called "a laptop" you fricking mongoloid? What about "handheld PCs"?
>but but they cost thousands
sure bro
No clue what your next vomit of words is supposed to mean
It's not that you like them, but that you mention them as Switch games despite being more than a decade old. It's like namedropping Gears 1 as an amazing Xbox Series X game, you out yourself as a zoomer who wasn't there at the time of release.
>I don't give a shit about exclusivity
Nobody gives a shit what you think. You buy a console for its exclusives. That's the entire reason why the PS5 and Series X are called nogaems POS while the Switch isn't, because Nintendo actually makes games.
Do you understand the meaning of the word "notable"? Like pick up a dictionary and tell me how a multiplatform game is in any way notable on the Switch? It's incredible how you don't even realize how stupid you look right now.
>The switch is already 6 years old anon and still going strong in terms of sales. It already both outlived and outsold the majority of playstation and xbox consoles.
case in point I just bought an oled switch and a few games. I had am og switch but sold it cause I wasn't using it at that point in my life, like 3 years ago.
nta, but if you think that ALL of those games you listed are shit then that's on (You) anon. There are many games on that list which are exceptionally great in their respective genres.
If you genuinely think that not a single one or even most of those games are good then you probably just don't like video games as an entertainment media or you are underage in which case what the frick are you doing here?
post the games you play homosexual, you obviously have either extremely autistic taste or you're just being a b***h
All kinds, from star tropics to ridge racer to ghost squad to gravity rush.
Doesn't matter, Nintendo games are awful, especially their 3D games.
>star tropics
>NES
play it on switch online or pirate it if you're based
>ridge racer
series on a number of consoles except switch, which is probably why you're so assmad about mario kart
>ghost squad
assuming i got the right one, that was a wii release. it was a sega release that never got ported to switch. its also lightgun arcade shit which hasn't been relevant for fricking decades
>gravity rush
snoy open world action platformer. hmm, sounds like a METROID game which you are also assmad about.
you are literally coping your way out of accepting that switch has a number of the game genres you like to play, but lacks a couple of dealbreaker entries. guess what? that's fine, but don't write off the entire console because you're pissed that it doesn't have ridge racer. enjoy your sony games, by all means, but don't shit on the switch especially when you'd probably enjoy it if you tried it
switch installments in similar genres are utterly horrible. I'd sooner use them as a sleep aid.
>abloo its all bad
you can't find a SINGLE switch racing game that placates your autism? really? not a single frickin switch game in your chosen genres is good enough? then you're either choosing shitty dead genres like light gun shooters where 90% of the games are just arcade emulation, or "i want metroidvania but not THAT metroidvania". if you're a wipeout fanboy or something i get it, i got a psp for wipeout pulse/pure, but come on. there must be something you like on there.
Not him but the Switch is dogshit for racing games and you're grasping at straws.
https://www.thegamer.com/best-racing-games-on-the-switch/#mario-kart-8-deluxe
yeah, i agree. need for speed sucks. so does mario kart, wreckfest and rocket league
Frick it's worse than I thought. Even the Vita has a better lineup
seriously, it's like all discount versions of games that are better on PS1.
If I wanted a game in the vein of mario kart, I'd play CTR which is far better on anything not a switch. Why do you think gravity rush is an exploration platformer? Don't say metroidvania, it's a fake made up genre only westerners use.
Are you blind or illiterate?
too true
>middle east version
worthless piece of shit
hey, thanks to them psone sold 28 million units and PS2 outsold PS3 for 4 years
You're right, people will point to the Wii U ports for Switch to say you're wrong but there were like 2 great games for Wii U (MK8 and SM3DW) and everything else just fine, they clearly only gave a shit about the 3DS and that's what fricked it. Nintendo didn't know how to support 2 platforms.
>wii u flopped because the games are terrible.
>These games minus Xenoblade X get ported to Switch and become the biggest console sellers
>IT SOLD SO ITS GOOD
It was very clearly an attempt to translate the DS dual screen to consoles despite nobody really having any good ideas for DS gameplay. The most beloved games do frick all with them beyond what additional screen real estate grants.
mario kart 8 is unironically one of the worst games in its genre. Tell me all you care about is graphics and not the actual content of the game without telling me.
>become the biggest console sellers
But anon, there's only 3 Wii U games in the Switch top 25 best sellers (4 if you count BotW)
>If you count BotW
Why I wouldn't when its clearly a Wii U game and you can see the Wii U pad design even in fricking TotK, also Playstation and Xbox would kill for having that many bestsellers at the start of their new console
Wii U is kino dawg what are you talking about?
was due to bad marketing, and that led to bad support from thirds
And tell me why did you omit all those other Wii U games ported to Switch? Just because you like only two, doesn't mean none of them count
Besides those you have Smash U and Xenoblade Chronicles X, which were very popular and sold a lot as well
>Nintendo didn't know how to support 2 platforms
Tell me you're too young without saying you're too young
Nintendo manages its console very well by splitting games between Nintendo DS and WIi, and the same in the past with GC and GBA
Smash U sucked dick, easily the worst in the series. Xenoblade sucks too. Good try.
>Nintendo manages its console very well by splitting games between Nintendo DS and WIi, and the same in the past with GC and GBA
DS and Wii was the one exception but I never really liked most DS games I played. Gamecube sucked, it had great games but it sucked compared to the PS2. N64 sucked too, had some of my favorite games but it's a bad console with barely any games like the Gamecube.
Monster hunter 3U was the best gaming experience I ever had.
No the WiiU flopped because it was a moronic half baked idea that not even Nintendo fully utilized. Nintendoland was a glimpse at some cool possibilities that weren't really ever realized.
the idea had no potential anyway. nobody wants to look away from the tv while playing on the TV. Stupid as frick idea.
I mean yeah that's what I mean by half baked, someone thought it was a neat idea, but didn't think about the fact that just because an idea is novel and new doesn't mean it's actually good when put in the real world. Meanwhile the Switch's whole purpose is very clear, very understandable and immediately appealed to tons and tons of people as can be seen by the much higher enthusiasm the Switch enjoyed once it came out.
Having games
People who grew up with Nintendo and couldnt everything they wanted now have money, gaming isn't looked down on anymore, brand reconition for most people not into gaming, colorful friendly well known characters, more people have access to it ans more stores have them.
It sold a ton, I have one too.
I just wish it had better performance
>good gimmick
>good advertising
>lot of people getting back on the nintendo hype train after skipping put on the wii u
>a killer app in Zelda at launch with a really solid first year of games
>affordable price
The PS5 has like 3 games and it still has sold 50 million. You don't actually need to do a lot to make a successful consoles you just need to not frick up.

No idea honestly, I hated this thing every since I held it in my hands for the first time. It just feels cheap, the tiny waggle sticks are anti-ergonomic, and the battery life of the earlier models is a sad joke.
Granted, I still like the games that are available on it, but as a piece of hardware it's a fall from grace.
homosexuals and ignorant people wanting a quick solution.
What else are people going to buy?
umm the watered down PC for weebs?
or maybe the watered down PC for Black folk?
whats the difference?, both sound like they are targeted for snoys
It basically targets the most people possible and its portable.
>It's partially handheld
handhelds are popular in japan
>It has a wide selection of games for every audience (something the competition doesn't really have): fighter? party? shooter? rpg? board game? platformer? rhythm? The switch has it all.
which is a win for every kind of player but seriously, I've known a girl who bought a switch only for animal crossing
>It has a relatively long battery life and a much longer joycon battery life
this is key when you want to do a handheld (except zelda, that game drains the device like there's no tomorrow)
>Easily hackable (unless you have a newer version of the switch)
Boosts sales ever so slightly in the pirate communities.
The big drawbacks the switch has is the paid online membership and the joycon drift which can be fixed by senging the joycons back to nintendo but it's a lot of hassle.
>inb4 b-but the resolution is only 1080P in docked mode
Graphics are teritary when it comes to video games.
>Graphics are teritary when it comes to video games.
This is proven by the fact that all the big AAA games still get released on the literal decade old PS4. Hell graphics haven't even really improved in any way that matters since the transition to the PS360 generation. A PS3 game is essentially the same as a PS5 game.
Pretty much this. The one thing that seventh gen consoles always fricked up was the performance, as games would struggle even with 720p/30fps or look like shit to achieve acceptable framerate and resolution targets. In that sense, the eight gen was a much needed improvement and also offered some minor visual enhancements to games, especially in regards to textures and lighting.
The ninth gen, on the other hand, never really had a good reason to exist, devs just use the extra power to bruteforce shit coding and add extremely demanding techniques like ray tracing to fricking puddles and other reflective surfaces, then force the use of AI super sampling to pick up the slack.
Graphics do matter to a certain extent, but we've passed that threshold a long time ago. The industry needs to take a step back and focus more on quality of the actual gameplay.
>The big drawbacks the switch has is the paid online membership
So does everyone
PC doesn’t which means something like a Steam Deck (the only real competition the Switch has) doesn’t have paid online.
shitch has no games though
1: Cheap
2: The "handheld" gimmick
3: Has lots of good exclusives and cheap ports of every good game from the past up to the PS4 gen.
4: AAA games are still made to work on the PS4, meaning that between the Switch, PS5, and SeriesX, the only games you can't already run on your PS4 are Switch exclusives.
>extremely open user base catering to basically everyone
>cheap enough for just about everyone while delivering (barely) passable performance on high end games
>docking portable design means you no longer have to buy two consoles to get all the nintendo games, one and done

i am a very late adopter, i picked one up not quite a month ago. been absolutely loving the change from PC. all it does is play games and it does it well enough for me
I have heard this tale from many pclards lately.
Many of them find the switch comfy. It is your case?
yes. the problem is that playing a lot of these platform games on pc just doesn't feel right, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing the game. i don't want to boot up my pc and wait 5 minutes while i set everything up to have a console experience, i want a console i can pick up and play or take the joycons off of and play on the bed. pc just doesn't offer that. pc has way better performance, pc can be used to emulate and has a far wider selection of games, but if you just want to play a frickin nintendo game then the switch is for you. im not playing shantae on the pc. im not emulating the switch or gc to play metroid prime. far faster and easier to just use a switch
>shitch
>comfy
how? it literally has no gamez
I liked my Switch better when I had an old computer with a GTX960 and a 60hz monitor full of image delay. Windows was installed on an old HDD and it took about 10 minutes to be usable after I turned on the PC...
These things really made playing the Switch more appealing to me, I just pressed a button and it put me right in the game, I didn't even need to run the game because I put the console to sleep and when it woke up I was right in the action.
Now with a more modern PC where Windows starts up in 15 seconds, and a 144hz monitor with very low delay, I can't go back to the Switch anymore. Even the input lag from that console became intolerable for me.
I'm a PCgay and I find the Switch comfy, I both emulate it on my PC when I want the 'docked' experience and play my OLED in handheld.
What helps the Switch is how hassle-free it is from every angle. I don't mind tinkering with shit when I'm at my PC but when I'm comfy on the couch or in bed with a handheld I don't want to be tinkering with anything. I've had a Deck in the past and having to boot into the OS side of things, either plug in a mouse and keyboard or type with the touch screen is absolute aids. You can say "just don't do that lol" but if you want to get the most out of a product you've paid for you're going to have to go to the OS side of the Deck inevitably.
How? It has no games
I bought it because it is portable and has games I want to play.
Its the only game system that a household may own more than one of.
From single moms getting one for each kid, to a childless dog parents buying one each, a household may have one pc, ps, or xbox, but each individual person in said house may own their own switch.
Its a tablet, one step up from a phone, so what can you expect.
Not even worth a (You) hell not even worth copy&pasting your post numbers
You don't have to be afraid.

FRICK THE SWITCH!
Should I get one
The Switch is a genuinely good product if you consider the general idea of it. The original ad was extremely well done, it shows the guy playing something on the television, he then removes the tablet from the dock, puts it on a table, gives half the controller to a homie, and they go on to play a multiplayer game during a party or something. This type of commercial only works well because it is highlighting something really interesting and fun that the product offers.
It's for people who play nintendo games (nongamers) to play nintendo games while they shit and pretend they're playing masterpieces on the internet.
It doesn't matter what people use it for, I think the idea that sold the Switch was the one I mentioned.
In practice, however, it is not possible to place the Switch on a table when you are with friends and play as if it were something normal, because the screen is small, the joycons are horrible, even that handle that keeps the tablet upright is not functional and it keeps falling off with any vibration, etc. In the end, if you really want to take the Switch to a meeting with friends, you have to take the dock, take a bunch of normal controllers, etc., which defeats the purpose and turns it into a normal console.
>In practice, however, it is not possible to place the Switch on a table when you are with friends and play as if it were something normal, because the screen is small, the joycons are horrible, even that handle that keeps the tablet upright is not functional and it keeps falling off with any vibration, etc.
Sounds like someone wasn't a high school senior when Smash bros came out. The Switch does absolutely work for that kind of purpose.
Switch 2 is going to destroy this board isn't it?
Why? Is it going to flop like the wii u?
it will bury the ps5
Will it?
I think if Nintendo stick with their $399 price tag we might have another $599/$499 situation like the PS3/XB1. So it will sell about as well as the 3DS compared to the DS, maybe a bit less
The Switch 1 already did that
Hopefully
Then maybe Eric will finally kill himself
well, I'm sure the decklets will go full moronic when the switch 2 outsells deck lifetime sales in 1 week
I think it's unpredictable nintendo could do moronic shit. Also not jumping to new switch unless there is a reason and many worthy games which I doubt we will get them soon.
nintendo stopped releases on nintendo3ds and sony in psvita
>pixelshop got van'd
where do you poorgays get nsps now?
Nintendo sort of gave a shit at first and released a ton of good games, gave up by 2020.
Games and being portable
$800 phones
It’s affordable, has games, portability.
Why does it cause so much seethe
Oh I don't know anon maybe the fact the thing has an actual MASSIVE library of amazing third party support........
It hasn’t. Nintendo is cooking the books and has yet to be caught
proof?
Common sense. Have you even seen a Switch in public?
yes. multiple times.
just because you dont leave your basement doesn't mean that they dont exist.
hell a girl at my job plays hers during breaks
I saw a kid probably around 9 the oldest walking around with it. I've talked to parents and apparently their kids have dropped them a lot and they required replacing lol.
>mfw there's no way to transfer your playtime from 1 console to another
all those hours spend slaying monsters in GU gone like the wind ;_;
at least the servers are still kicking!
snoy cope. you have NO GAEMS
sharty lost
kuz has aids
goonclown won
uh huh
dont care
4cucks side with troony pedophiles, the sky is blue
>Ganker users, who do not play games, are baffled why a console with games sells
>console with games
>highest seller is a Wii U game
curious
That's how you know it's a 9th gen system, all it's best games are ports of 8th gen games.
>He is still trying
what kind of pathetic loser spends his free time in a thread about something he hates?
Eric.
shame we wont get a famitsu this week. but next week should be pretty good when the ps5 can't move 100k units with 2 weeks worth of sales
If you want a circlejerk, r*ddit's down the corner.
You have to remember that people who do this are just trying to feel special/superior for absolutely zero effort and crowing about how "shit x brand/company" is one of the easiest ways.
the brand name and strategic drought with spattering of shite
works well with kids and the poors
Good games. They had BotW and Mario Odyssey near release.
Having games that you can play
- Marketing
- Portable
- Nintendo brand
- Hackable
- Family / Party gaming
Video games. If the switch 2 is really ps4 or above level they'll have hit the absolute sweet spot since graphics haven't really improved all that much.
Eric still doesn't explain why the nintendo cult didnt save the wiiU or the gamecube or the n64 if it is that powerful.
>Eric
>still no argument
I dont care if you are Eric or not. You just say similar things.
why does this Black person keep repeating the name Eric?
Why does this homosexual keep repeating the name eric?
It's mid but it's still better than what the PS5 and XBX has to offer
It's portable and I wanted another Vita. Glad I got one.
tendie cope thread
The sales are bloated by double and triple dippers. You know it’s true.
You could say that about any console with more than 1 version. It's not like that matters. If you can make some people like your console enough to buy 2 or 3 that holds a lot of merit.
still sold the console, didn't they? never heard of anyone buying more than one xbox series or ps5 unless they got a defective one
As are all sales
No bg3, no buy
Well, nintendo's successor to the wii was a complete flop, so pretty much the entire 4 year period of 2013-2017 when ps4 and xbone were completely filling the home console market, ninty was relying on the 3DS. Rather than try to butt in on a completely saturated market they leaned more heavily on the dominance they display in the handheld scene.
So, with the wii u essentially being a 4 year long gap for the purpose of market availability, the switch was able to just take a bunch of it's successful titles, re-release them, and had an insanely powerful baseline of titles and content. Plus, breath of the wild, mario odyssey, and pokemon remasters AND smash within the first year and a half gave it an insane starting point.
Covid kicking off and coinsiding with animal crossing's release was another boon.
It's essentially just replaced the handheld scene, and in that regard it's performing as expected of a nintendo handheld. I just hope nintendo keeps backwards compat. That would be the one thing to get me to buy a switch 2. As is I know it's coming, and there's a bunch of shit coming out on the switch the back end of this year (SMRPG particularly) that I really want to play, but I just can't justify buying a switch if the successor won't support my purchases this close to it's announce.
>It's essentially just replaced the handheld scene
No?
3DS sold 70 mil, Wii U sold 12 mil. GBA sold like 80 mil, GC sold like 22 mil.
This has outsold the previous handheld and home console twice over. It only hasn't outsold base DS or base Wii. But otherwise, it's outselling Nintendo's handhelds/home consoles combined.
>cheap for poorgays
>marketed toward woman
>Timmy and his 5 brothers each get one for Christmas
>tons of special edition versions that attract “collectors”
>cheaply made and breaks easily so people just buy replacement
>soccer moms buy one for fitness ring crap
>can be mass produced due to using outdated and old components
>man child’s endlessly chasing that nostalgia high
The list goes on and on really
People buys games for it unlike for the ps5, for example. So games might have a lot to do with it.
The most played games are fortnite and Minecraft
Source?
I am also interested in the source. In any case, people does buy games for it, and a lot. People barely buy videogames in the competition in comparison. So videogames definitely are decisive in its success.
Kek yea maybe if you think famitsu sales reflect the rest of the market. Outside of japan no one really gives a shit about the switch. It’s always a secondary device to a PlayStation, Xbox, or pc.
Switch sold more than 50 million units in North America, surpasding the ps2
>muh sales
They can't be properly accounted for thus are easy to fake
>cheap for poorgays
The console was selling for $300, which looked too expensive for many at launch, in 2017
It has games™
It's outsold the original gameboy in sales and it's on it's way to outselling the SNES + Gameboy in sales.
It's outsold the GBA and 3DS and Wii on their own and it's on its way to outselling the DS.
But ultimately this number isn't uncommon for Nintendo systems.
It has games
>this meme again
All on PC, unlike PS5 games 🙂
The average consumer isn't getting a good enough build to be able to emulate these games.
I don't care 🙂
sassy anon baka
All PS5 games are already on Youtube
PS5 games have more gameplay than shitch ones
False
Too mature for you? Need that bing bing wahoo?
There’s one more game on that toy than there is on a PS5
Shitch has no games though
Guess that means the PS5 has a negative number of games then
Obsessed
Why are snoys obsessed with shoving things up their butts?
Why are tendies so obsessed with Sonychads?
they're all raving homosexuals
easy pickings because NO GAMES
Darren, the cope isn't working
Eric, next time don’t forget to turn off your tripcode
Darren, there is no "eric", stop coping
Eric, there is no "darren", keep dilating
That's what you do, Darren, or should I say, giggly goonclown
Nah, snoys are mainly trannies (see
) so that seems like an eric thing to do, plus eric is actually real unlike darren
The only eric that ever existed outed himself as a tendie a year ago. It's over, darren
You know the archive and screencaps still exist, correct, people can immediately see that’s bullshit
You will never be a kiwichad 🙂
and you will never be a woman eric
by the way eric is a snoy and blackrock owns more of sony 🙂
>blackrock
https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/csr/externalevaluation/
OH NO NO NO
Can't refute the image, it's over for tardybingo 🙂
I dont have to, black owns more of sony 🙂
How can you say that when tyrone owns your wife?
Being a cuck is a snoy thing so I wouldn’t know
Cope xD
coping is what eric does best, he’s coping with being doxxed, coping with being a cuck, and coping with being a troony
>eric
Why is a playstation owner (troony) wearing a mario cap?
Nice falseflag actor
Yeah doreen was pretty pathetic in that interview, even more pathetic is that he’s a snoy
>Yeah doreen was pretty pathetic in that interview, even more pathetic is that he’s a snoy
>less reviews
LMAO, imagine being eric, a troony, a cuckhold, a blackrock worshipper, and worst of all, a snoy
Imagine being Darren, imagine choosing a shitty company that is destined to lose 🙂
>darren
See
>imagine choosing a shitty company that is destined to lose
But only you are supporting sony 🙂
I don't think any company that sells 130+ million consoles in a generation can be called a loser
Most of them are actual homosexuals
Years ago a drawgay said there was one schizo making a lot basedjack commissions and all those disgusting drawings was for a furry Sonygay with a diaper fetish
Yes gaemz
It's the only platform that gives a shit about local multiplayer. That's why I bought one.
I have one. It's nice. My friends have a switch but no jackbox games. I have most of the jackbox games installed. I just bring my switch and slap it on their dock and we are good to go.
all shitcg games are on deck
It's a handheld that's also pretending to be a console. Of course it would sell like hotcakes since it aims for both markets.
My guess is it become a hot trend to pick it up during the coof. It was already well-established and nothing special. Couldn't get PS5 due to shortages, SeX was difficult to come by as well
>What made it so successful
Nintendo product. Unfortunate majority of adults who game are giant toddlers.
the portable gimmick was cool
blast processing
Having games.
having games. playstation could try that but they won't
Exclusives. Hard to come by nowadays.
Because it has all of the best games from the last generation of consoles.
Based. Wii U Master Race chads stay winning eternally until the end of time
It has games
*on pc
Better than the PS5 having all its games on youtube
Tenfie games are on youtube too 🙂
>200 hours of gameplay according to hltb
>2 hours of cutscenes
1% of the game, meanwhile the entirety of “games” like Goy of Slop and TLOU are on youtube, just plug in a controller and push up on the left stick for the same experience
I wonder if you-know-who smells the blood in the water now
Pokemon
lgbtq community latched on to it, and nintendo leaned into that demographic pretty heavy this generation. also the casuals
See
frick the shitch
Why are people so afraid of the Switch 2?
Just a bit more power and it's over for snoystation
typical yakuza fraud
This is about Nintendo, not Sega
>NOOOOOOOOOOO HONOBARU NINTENDO NEVER COMMIT FRAUD THEY GOOD GUYS UNLIKE LE EVIL SNOY!!!!
yeah yeah, bg3.png and nintendochud.png, you're like a broken record
Seethe more
Lose more
Oh wait, you can't
Cope
Winners don't cope
Shitendo lost though
130 million is bigger than 97
Only 30 of those are real
Prove it, I dare you.
Prove the 130 are real
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.html
That plus Japan's sales alone from July 1st to now puts it above 130 million
>trust the yakuza numbers!
Nah, it's far more realistic to believe there is ongoing fraud considering this piece of shit has no games. A few factories probably explode in China on a bimonthly basis, and shitendo adds that loss to the numbers.
I told you, it's Sega that deals with the Yakuza
>they just don't, ok???
They do scummy shit all the time
Doing one scummy thing doesn't mean that they did some other scummy thing.
Nobody is saying they don't but Nintendo hasn't broken the law for a long long while
Let me put it this way: if Nintendo had the power to lie about console sales, they'd have done so in the Wii U, Game Cube and N64 Eras
Nintendo hasn't had any known ties to the Yakuza since long before they got into making video games
Where is the Virtual Boy?
I hate how Nintendo treats it like some great shame. Frick them. Have some respect.
Shut the frick up, Guy wannabe
Nintendo would be legally punished under Japanese law for lying to shareholders
He's just gonna go, "b-but Nintendo has shadow-y Yakuza people controlling the government"
his source: nintendo, which has far more motive to be honest than to lie (will get brutally fricked by the government and destroy a 40 year industry reputation)
your source: unwashed snoy ass
How much does furukawa pay you?
The same amount Jim Ryan pays you
The microshsft plant?? Nonr
Dang, they planted him into Sony seven years before the Xbox even released, they're diligent. If only they planned out their games development that far ahead
>21 reviews
>muh bajilion paid ones
>muh 21 troon wiener slurper reviews.
21 honest reviews by gamers? Kino!
starfield will kill badgate 3
Won't be on shitch either, how sad!
confirmed Sega Dreamcast 2 exclusive
Shitga got fricked, shitendo will too, and then microshaft
In two more weeks, am I right?
It's at 36 now, the score remains 97
>36 reviews
Literally nothing for supposed goty contender.
They made games for it instead of interactive movies.
C'mon, Eric. Do the melty.
Its basically a big ass tablet you can play nintendo games on. This captures that vaunted kiddy demographic that Disney makes all its money on.
>it's the kids
Mentally they are
People in their early 20s are even more moronic than children.
Its a Nintendo product, people will buy it no matter what.
You dont hear anyone talk shit about it because people love their brand and games associated simply because they know or heard about the previous ones and believe all of them to be worth buying.
>Its a Nintendo product, people will buy it no matter what.
>no matter what
Tendies did slurp that up though
You said 'people' not 'Nintendo fans'
The point here is that not every Nintendo product is successful, taking it for granted that the Switch would be successful is fallacious.
Nearly every Nintendo console save for the Wii (and now the Switch) sold WORSE than the one before it. Meaning aside from two generations, Nintendo is usually actually losing consumers more than they're retaining them
You're right, tenders aren't people
The same thing that was always made Nintendo successful. Simple marketing tactics, consistent products, legacy of achievement, and games that appeal to far reaching audiences.
>combine handheld and console divisions
>non moronic name that let people know unequivocally that it's a new product
>good marketing
>New Mario and Zelda close to launch
presto
Ganker objectively has the worst shitflinging competitions on this entire fricking site, holy frick.
>NOOOOOO MY TOYS ARE BETTER THAN YOUR TOYS NO YOUR TOY DOESN'T HAVE GAMES NO THOSE GAMES DON'T COUNT REEEEEE I ONLY LIKE MATURE TOYS FOR MATURE ADULTS LIKE ME LOOK AT YOUR BABY TOYS THEY DON'T GIVE YOU THE IMMENSE MENTAL STIMULATION LIKE MY BIG BOY TOYS DO (PROCEEDS TO PLAY SHIT WITH CONSTANT WAYPOINTS AND TUTORIALS ON EVERY SCREEN)
No games
Over a billion software units sold
Cultists will swallow any slop Bingtendo puts out. Except for N64. And Virtual Boy. And GCN. And Wii U. And Labo... b, but those don't count. I'm definitely not a zoomer who knows nothinf but the Shitch and spouts buzzwords haha fr.
it has videogames
it's affordable
it's portable
/thread
/lpbp
No 🙂
Shitch games? Nonexistent
Its design directly appealed to people who don't really care about video games. It came with 2 controllers out the jump, had Mario Kart, Smash, and Mario Party in its first 2 years, and had big booms of games that people HAD to buy a Switch for (Breath of the Wild, Animal Crossing, Tears of the Kingdom). Its portability established itself as a mainstay for friends, it was made as a party console.
>Its design directly appealed to people who don't really care about video games
It's the most video-game centric console, what are you talking about?
The thing doesn't even have a fricking netflix app, it can't play blu rays and you can't buy movies for it.
It's a game-only piece of hardware.
How can it be when it has no games?
Yeah its a game-only piece of hardware for people who don't care about video games. Most people only bring it out when they have friends over and can play Mario Kart or Smash. Outside of that unless its called Animal Crossing or Legend of Zelda absolutely nobody cares about the first party single player library for the Switch.
>Yeah its a game-only piece of hardware for people who don't care about video games
Anon, people who don't care about games get a PS5 because it's basically their full media center and it just happens to play FIFA/Madden/CoD/Flavor of the Month
It's a lot more likely that normies who only play games socially will get a Playstation to play with their friends online than a Switch which lacks most of the major AAA games that target normies.
Yes, Nintendo has some games that appeal to wide audiences like Mario Kart or Animal Crossing, but it's a device that's only purpose is to play games.
So you're telling me people who would buy a games-only piece of hardware don't care about games? That's like saying "I don't care about photography, that's why I bought this camera"
marketing
porting over all the wii u games
literally all the best games on switch were on wii u originally
God damn it guys, There is no need to rile him up this early. let him get worked up early Thursday morning so that any meltdown he has can last into the weekend; especially if a surprise 30/30, or other such event happens, otherwise he is going to burn out too fast and then my entertainment is ruined.
It's Obon in Japan so no Famitsu sales this week, so expect his melt down to be spread out throughout all of Ganker this week without a singular thread to continuously mind break him in.
well frick!
And this will never stop mindbreaking Eric.
BUT THERE ARE NO GAMES
>When the last Direct alone for a system on its 7th year announces more games than the PS5 has gotten in its entire lifetime + 2024.
lol, lmao even.
Still a better console than the shirch
did eric get unbanned today or something? I've seen 10 threads in the past 24 hours that were autistically anti-nintendo when there were maybe 2 the day before
Little tendie babies don't cry
I dunno you seem to be the upset one. I'm over here chilling and not being upset. Sounds like it sucks to be you.
Eric is just mindbroken.
Unironically piracy
it's the perfect system for JRPGs which is 90% of what I play
Mmmmmm yes perfect system for goyslopppp
Games
Eric has a meltdown over the switch every time it’s mentioned lmao.
Tebdues have Sony derangemrnt
Eric...
Darren there is no fricking Eric
Take your meds
"Darren" was exposed to being a Snoy falseflag, see
Holy cope, go back to playing on your little tablet tendie
Eric you are mentally ill. Nobody believes your bullshit. Console wars broke your mind, you’re shitposting at 4AM. I bet you don’t even play vidya, you’re a brand obsessed NPC.
funny how there is still no "legal issues" section for ps5 on wikipedia despite having several class action's including one about controller "drift"
reminder according to the Black person, PS5 is worthless since you cant play Starfield on it.
Seethe
so you do confirm that a), PS5 is worthless since it doesnt have Starfield and b), that you are a Black person?
Go play you're ring fitt tendie
At least tendies have games to play
frick the shitch
Eric go to sleep already
It's only successful because it took the place of their handheld line. If it was a straight up home console it would have flopped 100% because it doesn't actually offer anything new
quality product, great screen, amazing selection of first party games you can not play on any other system, not that expensive
lol
see steamdeck side by side next to an OLED switch, steamdeck has the screen quality of a 3DS, OLED is so colorful and crisp, games look stellar
>no argument
It will never be a quality product with the shitty joy-cons, poor wi-fi and overall bad build quality. Idk about OLED but the original Switch bends itself from regular handheld usage
Lots of brand-recognizing exclusives, including multiple Pokemon and Zelda games.
Console+Handheld hybrid.
No competition.
Console style games on a portable. It's as simple as that. Ignore every other post in this thread.
It really is that simple,
don’t know why morons here can’t comprehend that
/v/troons live in a bubble. Do you really expect a bunch of terminally online NEETs to understand the appeal of a hybrid console that simply just works?
>What made it so successful?
Tons of games
Seamless docked play to handheld play
Plug and play
Strong lineup of first-party titles
Dedicated gaming machine, no multimedia bullshit
Great for indie games and ports of older titles
Affordable
Great for couch co-op/local play
Smooth user experience
Games don’t need huge installations, you just insert the cart and play.
>Games don’t need huge installations, you just insert the cart and play.
This is the biggest selling point IMO
Literally the most plug and play console there is
Yes, games will have updates requiring an internet connection regardless, but then again all Nintendo exclusives are small in size (no more than 15Gb) and they release in an actual finished state with minimal bugs and performance issues, aside from Pokeshite.
The games. you only buy nintendo for the games. Everything else about the switch is subpar and I haven't touched mine ever since I hacked it and ripped the roms off of it.
it has games that are fun to play
