But I thought they were just the scalpers buying I am confused
Honestly terrible news. Not sure how me andGamer79 will emotionally process this
The pandemic was like heaven for games, Xbox Series X sold 3.5 million in the pandemic, everyrhing used to sell back then. And it had no backlash over its price and whatever Switch 2 is having
It was for playing games, not so much for making em....

Nintendo Says Switch Chip Shortages Are "Largely Resolved" As It Cuts Forecasts
"Shipments generally went according to plan"
seems roughly around the same time to me
also why is the burden of proof always on me lmao. you mean i can just pull statements out of my ass and have GAF believe me???
The exact same thing could have been said at the Switch launch no?
Further proof that the UK is the weakest of the main markets for Nintendo.
Both. COVID had a big impact on both supply and demand for Sony and Nintendo, but as an older product it was easier to resupply Switch than PS5.
They are paying $50 for a game. The other $450 is to play lots of games in the coming years.
Nintendo has forecast 4.5 million Switches this fiscal year, so I don't think 8 million is possible.
I said up until the end of the next one, not this one
Ah got it! Yes that is plausible.
Indeed. Best PS5 exclusive: managing to buy a PS5 in 2022
That's the question. I suspect not but it's hard to say since Nintendo refuses to date their games except for Pokemon.
or its sold tf out and nobody can get one. I been trying soo hard but every store is wiped
Who talked about making games, they were making PS5s just fine man, as a matter of fact they made so much shit during the pandemic there was a chip shortage
I guess your anecdotal evidence is more reliable than Nintendo's annual reports lol
Nah, man, I lost. your proof is way better than mine
Why would you even say this? People can be pissed and still buy one. Also 3.5 million when there were 140 million Switches sold tells you nothing other than at least 2% of Switch owners wanted the follow up.
Could have, but would they have? Sitting this much stock is very risky.
There is no competition, Nintendo are destroying everyone.
What shall we fix the goalpost on because I feel like since we are constantly changing it from this to that to accommodate Nintendoomers we should fix it on something like how about 78.7 million in 5 years? Sounds reasonable right? Because if we keep moving that goalpost we will constantly be here arguing if Nintendo is doomed or not and I would like to make it a bit more clear
What are you talking about lmao
? What goal post?
I dont think name is confusing, Playstation did just fine with numeral sequel, ppl are dumb, but not that dumb.
Due to diminishing returns, this becomes less of an issue each gen thankfully. S1 was hard to stomach from day one, S2 is actually really nice looking. (5090 PC gamer here).
I'm honestly baffled they didn't announce P4 Revival for Switch 2 considering how incredibly well P4 Golden sold on Switch 1
It dosnt matter, i m talking tech wise, not consumer perception and tech wise they are one gen behind, DLSS ll help for sure, but isnt a fix for everything.
They probably did not have a port ready and wanted their teams to focus on Yakuza 0 for Switch 2 and Persona 4 remake
Yup. Sony lost sight. I'm hoping their PC initiative is because Jim Ryan realized how bad he fucked up with the GAAS early on and needed emergency money for this gen. I have a PC and a PS5 (and Switch 1/2) and in all for Sony going back to true exclusives.
