Obvious there's exeptions, like new Mario Kart and Cyberpunk, but the majority of games still can be played on Swicth 1 and with high prices and economy in the current state, I doubt Switch 2 will get the 15 million mark of Nintendo.

We will see, but the only new first party game that I'm aware of that is still possible on Switch 1 is Metroid 4. Of course, it hasn't even launched yet, there will be more Switch 2 exclusive games.

Also I thought Switch 2 would make possible all sorts of Series S grade titles that were a bit too rich for the Switch 1? I would put it in a whole different class of hardware. Just like every gen new exclusive games should end up being the main driver...while they continue to throw a few bones to the 150m old NS1s
 
No, I don't think so, at least if you are not fucking dumb and look for the number 2. However the world is full of dumb fucking people so of course some people will get it wrong.

They could have at least made the box a different color, only suggestion I got.

I'm not sure that Switch 2 will receive the majority of third-party games like people are wondering. There's a really weak CPU in that device and right now most games aren't even announced for Switch 2.

There's a lot of already announce third-party games that have not been reveal for Switch 2. People are thinking too much about Cyberpunk how it can be a type of signal, but CDPR is only a exception, in the same way that they have port Witcher 3 for Switch.
 
Consoles don't appeal to "mass market". In the first week iPhone 16 sold more than 30 million units. You can never compare this to any console.
I didn't say is a big as the Iphone 🙄… And how you sell 150+ Million without the mass market appeal?

If Witcher 3 was exception on Switch 1, and that system was a success, then why does Switch 2 need any more third party support than that anyway to be a success? All they would require are their own first party exclusive games.

Who is talking about that? lol

"with high prices and economy in the current state, I doubt Switch 2 will get the 15 million mark of Nintendo"

That was my point. And I never talk about success.

That's fair enough. The other point about games we will just brush under the rug. That's cool lol
 
No, the casual Switch user just won't care.

Just as with the Wii, they have their device and will see no reason to spend even more money get the next one.

Their are some incredibly stupid people in this world so unfortunately, I'm sure a very small percentage may not immediately understand.

That said the large majority of people should see and recognize/understand what the "2" means easily.

Bookmark worthy post. A Switch 2 confusion thread spinning off into a prediction thread.

Plot twist: Switch 2 only sold so well because people planning to buy yet another Switch 1 were tricked by Nintendo into buying a 2 instead because of the confusing box. You guys get that one for free, you don't even have to credit me. In fact, don't
 
nah.

Nintendo broke their naming code.

It isn't as novel as before though so people will buy it for the games they like and less about the Switch itself.
 
That's a pretty big "2".

Wii U is confusing. Xbox One X is confusing. "Switch 2" is no more confusing than "playstattion 2".
Playstation 2 looked completely different than a Playstation 1, and they also used a different design language. The Switch 1 and 2 boxes look exactly the same just with a 2 in Switch 2 box. You can bet thers gonna be alot of switch 1 being sold to moms thinking they buying the new console. The name of the console is not the problem here, its the design language they are using that is exactly the same. Even the PS5 and PS5 digital only had completly different box colors.

They have their device....which won't play the latest and hottest Mario Kart all of their friends, family and internet is talking about.

These are the same people that upgrade new phones every single year for a camera that is slightly better...no?
 
You know what, I think there will be some confusion. Especially if they are selling the MK8 and MK World bundles like that... I mean the MK8 bundle looks more attractive where as the MK World bundle is just a sticker?

EDIT: and yes I think the boxes should have been different colors

Remember when graphical leap's were big.
Remember those people saying "I don't see any difference"
Calling a Xbox a Playstation and a PlayStation a Nintendo.
People really are clueless even if it's blatantly obvious.
 
Several years ago (when the WiiU was confusing people) I was doing a professional wireless installation consultation for a local business.

Me: "We need to place a total of four wireless access points in your business"
Them: "Access points? Is that like a Wii?"
Me (doing a double take): "A what?"
Them: "You know, like a Nintendo Wii like my kids have, that's where the Wi-Fi comes from, right?"
Me (trying to hold it together and stay professional): "No, we do not need to install game consoles in your ceiling, what you need are dedicated devices for providing Wi-Fi"

These kinds of people will 100% be fooled by the name change from Switch to Switch 2.
 
Nah, there's so much TV ads to explain the difference
I usually don't watch many ads for anything- and always wonder where the fucking money goes when I hear huge marketing budgets- but I saw one Switch2 ad recently and just thought their talking points were weak. Magnetic connection! Was that a problem or a big problem with Switch? You can use the controller as a mouse, showing no game. Videochat via an additional camera. And I think something about display bigger? Won't matter for the first wave of sales by the more informed and hyped people, many fanboys and -girls but that ad felt unconvincing and lackluster in showing the upgrade it should be.

Everything you say it's true but Switch 2 has Mario Kart and Switch 1 doesn't

We'll see if that's enough as a difference. Switch 1 opened the road to a wide audience that maybe now is interested more in Mario Kart than the new features (wich, once again, are weak except for the technical ones wich are almost unseen in TV Ads...)

Well, Switch 1 has Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which sold gangbusters and got tons of DLC tracks. World will really need to stand out, because a lot of people are perfectly happy with just playing the old game.
 
I am surprised they didnt change the color scheme the way Sony did, at least on the box, PSX gray -> PS2 blue -> PS3 black/white -> PS4 blue -> PS5 white/black

I'm pretty sure some people will think 2 Nintendo switches are in the box.
there are they are just duct taped together

I meant that If you want a new Mario Kart you're "forced" to buy Switch 2.. and that's why I told we'll see if that's enough (to start)
 
Also, the Game Key Cards will be the cherry on top.
In reality, it's no different than PS5/XSX where when You buy a physical game you will STILL NEED physical space on your hard drive to actually play the game.

Unless the customer has never played on a PS5/Xbox series it's business as usual

Edit: Actually there were MANY physical Switch 1 games that also had this set up, i.e. mandatory downloads.

No, people can be stupid, but not THAT stupid.
People ask for Mario on PlayStation at GameStop all the time. Parents who don't give a crap will see one is cheaper and looks EXACTLY the same.

They should have put the 2 by the words and not the logo, also something on the packaging that displays it's new like, "All New!" or something.

my point I kinda missed to make was that it felt almost like the 2 was hardly explained, if it really is something entirely new and not just like OLED another iteration of the same thing. 2 is an obvious number, but PS2, 3, 4, all looked actually different. Much clearer that those were new products. Even revisions of Playstations looked more different than Switch 2 does compared to Switch. Here it's a clear number, so no U nonsense, but could almost be interpreted like the VR1 version 2 thing which was for a niche product so went past the masses anyway. I guess most don't know the differences of original VR1 and VR1-2, and only the real VR2 looks different enough that people just get that it's a new thing. Switch2 has the same problem but must make people understand that it is new hardware and not just a new version of Switch. I doubt that can really cost sales, at worst some akward returns and replacements for the right gen of Switch will happen.
