Switch 2 Has Already Overtaken The Combined Lifetime Sales Of The Entire Xbox Series Family And PS5 Pro In Japan

Did you missed the Switch 1 era or something? 😅
nope, but it seems third party sales not going well for switch 2 as well, 2nd time now : D
if third party sales continue to tank on switch 2, it will be very interesting to see how Nintendo response : )

That's cultural stuff right there right now, I don't wanna hear any arguments, listen to what Japanese YouTubers say about Nintendo and PlayStation, I don't want to hear gaffers from it's neighbor countries says otherwise.
 
He will be back at the end of the month...........And this time it's personal. ;)
Two weeks of watching DF and similar channels and cherry picking screenshots to post in every thread that dares to even mention Switch 2!

There has to be two sides to the coin. There are some on here who just like to put the Switch and Nintendo down. Yes there is valid criticism as well but to suggest it's all constructive is just pure lunacy. The guy from my point of view is not really an issue in the general scheme of things. And his posts are so over the top sometimes I am surprised anybody is taking him all that seriously to be honest.

Probably with what they usually do. Make another Mario or Zelda game

I've never seen a Nintendo console that caters for other companies and third parties. (I remember the n64 well 😬😂, or the harsh way Nintendo treated everyone else during the snes days and making money from every game released.

They would probably like to have more 3rd party releases, that aren't eshop shovelware or rip off releases. But I would say, that history tells you that Nintendo doesn't cares about that side of the business too much. Especially when they have a console or handheld release, that prints money (and they don't have to share it).

And this is just about the first time in their history. Where they have back to back mega selling console or handheld releases. For every Wii, there was a Wii U and they lost ground. Time will tell where the switch2 will end up. But the smart money has to be up over 120 million, before the inevitable switch3 in about 2033

The game makers will keep releasing, especially as the audience grows, that's just normal market forces in action and nobody likes to be seen to leave money on the table these days

But in an age of multi platform releases. People are going to the only place to really play the Mario, Zelda, Metroid, <insert multi million selling Nintendo exclusive franchise>, etc …. Games these days.

It doesn't surprise me very much that after shedding the initial investment on a system that gates Nintendo exclusives and other attrition like Pro controller, that there aren't too many people who want to buy old games on key cards for a premium price on it. Especially since it plays Switch 1 games, it's not like there is desperation for old games that run on it.

I would have bought at least a few games I'm less stingy at launch without needing sales. But I didn't bother with anything but MKW pack in game.

Previously I didn't think key cards really mattered and it was just guys like me who cared. But now I'm wondering whether they're a significant part of the third party hold up. That would honestly be a good thing for Nintendo because it's a simple fix. If the low sales are affected by something else more nebulous it's worse news.
 
honest question, do some ppl not want the switch 2 to succeed?
I don't want it to succeed. I want a product that deserves to succeed to succeed, not a lazy overpriced Switch 1 revision aka Switch Pro with no games or overpriced century old third party ports. No to mention game key cards, charging for a tech demo, etc.
Switch 2 is literally the cancer that is killing the gaming industry.

The system has only been out for 2 weeks. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?

Also 3rd party support was phenomenal on Switch 1 so not sure what the heck you are talking about.

Not sure that this is even a consideration as Nintendo has already built a business that doesn't rely on third party sales to survive like other platforms do. When so many of their first party games are 20+ million sellers at full price it seems like they have it figured out pretty well.

'm sure the Switch 2 is a great product for its fans, but this thread seems to be made for Nintendo fans to circle jerk over nothing.

"Extremely popular product sells more than two extremely unpopular ones!"

Have you ever considered the possibility that you could be wrong and that all the Nintendo fans are right? They seem to be in majority.

Being in the majority makes someone less retarded?
Calling anyone the "average citizen" nowadays will make that person feel insulted, because everyone believes he's somehow above that average person. Yet they still exist, and almost half of the population is even sillier.
So to answer your question: Considered yes, but I came to the conclusion that most of them are just blind consumers that would even celebrate it, if Nintendo would start selling them diarrhea in a red box.
 
and third party sales continues to plummet on the switch ecosystem LOL!
Excel at hardware sales, failed at third party software sales and nintenboys conveniently left this out always. as usual

nintendo is clinging on 1st party software sales to carry their business, but for how long
You based this on the first week of sales in the weakest region for Nintendo while ignoring bigger market like US where Mat Piscatella stated Switch 2 3rd party games sold greatly.

No, being in the majority definitely doesn't make anyone less retarded, or right 😁

But it can still be a great product even if many of the customers are blind. What makes a product good or "worth it" is highly subjective.
 
The controversy over Nintendo no longer innovating and simply releasing a 'sequel' to the Switch already feels like a thing of the past…

Had they called the Wii U the Wii 2, things might have turned out quite differently.

It doesn't really surprise me that third-party sales struggle against Mario Kart... but over time, with an expanding install base, third-party developers will obviously find their audience.

I'm kinda glad that Nintendo didn't mess with the formula with Switch 2. It really doesn't need some gimmick tacked on for the sake of "innovation."

This is where Sony and Microsoft dropped the ball. They let Nintendo have 8 years of this blue ocean to get entrenched, and now breaking into that market looks daunting, to say the least.
 
Is this really a bar that deserves news. Aren't those two consoles you mentioned basically non-existent in Japan anyways?

Not sure where you have been for the last three generations but Nintendo software has always pushed their hardware sales. Third party games have always been the icing on the cake as it where.

If you look at third party sales on the original Switch they are nowhere near the sales of Nintendo first party titles. So not so sure this is a massive deal to be honest. I think third parties can still make money by porting games to the Switch 2 and it will get better as the install base increases. But I do think they will have to manage their expectations..
