Thread: Nintendo Switch 2 sold 3.5 million in 4 days
Sales
Pretty sure I read that Wii U development was complete when it was decided to port it to the Switch. Then they had to go back and remove the second screen.

It doesn't matter, many games has started on previous consoles and then development move to next console. Due end of life or due needing more power. In this case WiiU failed and BotW development was fast tracked to release at launch. Hence the Cross Gen label. This part of debate is running in circles. 😆

Which also points to Nintendo being efficient, to be able to do this knowing WiiU is done and Switch will be main console going forward. And have 6 new exclusives first year.

All though Mario Kart is not my preferred launch game, I'm enjoying it. I'm not going to debate which Kart is best. I'm casual Kart player but I enjoyed them with friends a families. It's worth it because we will play this until Switch 2 is done. Just like we played MK8 for over 10yrs 😆

Nintendo has won me over last 8yrs of Switch. So I was ready for Switch 2 launch and I know Nintendo will bring the games. I'm currently having fun and that's all that counts! 😃
 
Having read everyone's fuckin novels and having no desire to reply to it all. Let me just exit.

Not before I tell all of you Nintendo cocksuckers how right you all are though. I have seen the light and now realize what a wonderful, humanitarian company Nintendo is and how they are just as efficient with everything as they are with suing people and companies.

Don't get me wrong. Just because I admit to being 100% wrong doesn't mean I don't hate you ass kissing fanboys. I do hope Nintendo allows you to pay them $100 per game. I only want you all to be happy.

If this doesn't get me banned from this cesspool, I don't know what will.

@Zog I really hope you get some help and find things to enjoy in life. You probably think I'm mocking or belittling you, but I'm not. Take a break from the internet and videogames if it makes you miserable. Go outside, exercise, read books, take a vacation, pick up some new hobbies etc... Getting angry and cussing people out on the internet is a waste of what little time we have. DM's are open if you ever want to talk.

Oh so now Nintendo is making him go outside. This fucking company is unreal.

I'll be the voice of the crickets. People shouldn't have bought this thing. Mario Kart isn't a great launch title and this version seems to be not as good as the previous Mario Kart game. I want to thank the gaming community for cementing the $80 game standard. Looking ahead to the future, these people are. I see their game plan clearly now, give the game industry enough rope to hang itself a little faster. Oh I wish that was the case but really it's just people not being able to resist Nintendo's newest drug. Good job junkies.

Hilarious.

I haven't personally bought one because Mario Kart isn't a big deal to me at all.

This idea that people shouldn't buy it or are "junkies" for buying it is just completely stupid.

Its a real shitty way to even start a conversation about a new console or game, really.

"Here is my opinion and anyone who doesn't agree with me is a cocksucker apologist junkie idiot."

Fuck you dude.

If people are working hard and doing well for themselves then 500 bucks for a gaming console every few years is not a big deal. 80 bucks for a game once every few months isnt exactly nothing but for fucksakes it's no different than going to a concert or buying a new jacket or something. Probably actually on the lower end of "luxury" expenses, actually.

I could understand the passion and aggression in the argument if we were discussing healthcare or the price of basic groceries but you are going off on people because they think 80 bucks for a video game is basically fine.

All you are arguing is that you don't think it's value for money. That's fine. Plenty of other people do. That's why they've sold millions already.

You didn't actually think the embarrassing "drop the prices" spamming on Nintendo Directs represented the customer base, did you?

This thing was always going to sell millions and the reason is pretty simple.

Nintendo is selling a thing that people want at a price they are willing to pay.

No amount of crying can change this.
 
🎹🎶 ONE GAME I don't know why these normies bought a Switch 2 with no games to buy
Keep that in mind with the fact the console is $500 with outdated hardware from a decade ago

All I know, the game prices are a fucking joke
The tariffs got cancelled but Nintendies shift the goal post
Watch the Nintendrones defend their corpo, as their legacy fades away
It's so unreal, the console sales are not low
It beat every record and threw them out the window
DRM, internet required, how is that legal?
I wasted my love just to watch you rot
It seems like ever since Satoru Iwata died, the company no longer tried and their standards fell apart
What Nintendo once meant to me is nothing more but a nostalgic memory
The greed was so foul, and they took it too far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
The sales are high, and profits galore
But in the end, I guess boycotts don't matter

In spite of the ways of my boycotting, Nintendo still gets plenty of money from third parties
Remembering all the times they had to innovate and not just some soulless corporate entity
How did Switch 2 sales get so far?
The gaming industry isn't the same anymore
They only fulfill their donors and shareholders
Not that it was perfect back then, but they listened to gamers and it was win win
A company that once resisted trends, corporate that didn't bend, but ever since Iwata died, Nintendo fell apart

You pushed as far away from western corporate folks
Despite all of this, eventually you became the one thing you shouldn't become....no I'VE PUT MY TRUST, IN NINTENDO YOU PUSHED AS FAR AWAY FROM WESTERN CORPORATE FOLKS

Fuck anyone who bought this. Truly. Enjoy DRM. Enjoy $80 or $90 games. Enjoy even having to use internet to install the physical game. I'm disappointed that this thing sold millions just like that. Fuck modern Nintendo. Fuck their blind fans. Fuck the modern industry. It deserves to die for DEI and simply, may a crash commence someday under layoffs from inevitable ai. I'm salty. This is what we were warned about decades ago but cute twinks had to ruin it.

Did you make up the lyrics or was it AI?
 
Did anyone say they should be $35 (half the price of $70 games) or is that just a strawman?

Mario Kart World being expensive to develop isn't the customers fault. Like it took them 7 years to make that Zelda game that uses the same engine and many of the same assets, they are just not being very efficient and that's not the customers fault.

As for being cheap, just don't buy the system at all because once you do you'll buy games for it.

The person i responded to said handhelds were the "budget" option. I assume thats in the 30 to 40$ range. 3DS games were what 29.99 to 39.99 ???
80$ price point wont ever be justified to gamers even if Nintendo spent 10 billion on the game it is what it is. Nintendo being the first mover on the price increase. If it wasn't them someone else would have done it. We are starting to see it now and 80$ will most likely become the new normal for big blockbuster titles.

Wow. LOL.

I hope the ghost of Chester Bennington haunts you for pulling some shit like this.

It starts with one, one thing, I don't know why
Every Nintendo hater has to cry
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know, Switch 2 is a valuable thing
Watch it sell out as the pendulum swings
Haters melt down at the end of the day, typing their lives away
It's so unreal, these prices ain't low
Watch 80 bucks go right out the window
Nintendo fanboys, d-didn't even know
They wasted it all just to 3, 2, 1 go
Then do a power slide and even though you tried, they're still having fun
When they get to lap three you'll eventually be a memory of a time when
You cried so hard, you sad retard
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
The price won't fall and they'll sell them all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter.

Lmao some people are really pissed about this thing not failing so far.

Because the industry is shit. All consoles are ass and nothing more but restricted PC bloated machines. The Switch 2 managed to be worse because it's not worth the price, the price of the games are a joke, plus DRM.

Do you need to be reminded that you don't even own the consoles because the games could brick in the future due to patches going offline or the fact that your console can get shut down permanently because of "hacking?" It's an insult to ownership and you tolerate it.

I thought this place was based. I thought it opposed this nonsense. Not to mention DEI in gaming. I was mistaken.

I don't even fuck with modern games. Modern gayming more like it. I stick with retro.

I just have no plan of hacking this thing. At least not any time soon. It would be years after the generation ended before I'd think about hacking it and by then, the hack will disable any ability Nintendo has to brick it.

I don't see it as the "I don't actually own this piece of hardware" dramafest that people are seeing it as. I can sell this Switch. I can shove it up my ass if I want. It sure feels like I own it. I don't own it because I can't hack it?

If I bought it just to hack it, maybe I'd be upset. But do you see that 99% of the people who are buying it have no intention of hacking it and that the issue itself is completely meaningless to them?

I don't understand the "all or nothing" stance here to be honest.

I have many, many, issues with the modern gaming industry but there are still some decent titles here and there.

Regardless of what we think the Switch 2 is obviously connecting with people in some way.

Dont see how anyone could have thought that it would fail.
 


This should help y'all if you are playing docked on a HDR display. I myself had the paper white setting messed up because the reference images suck for calibration.

Thanks for the tips. I don't know why HDR is still so clunky to calibrate. They should just show the brightness value directly so you can measure it more accurately.

Xbox has a much more intuitive setup. Unfortunately it has to be done because HDR displays vary greatly. The good thing is once you have it dialed it it's set and forget. The first screen is easy enough to setup, the paper white config you just have no idea if you set it up correctly.

I know this guy is a long time favorite, but I can't stand his videos. He rambles on in a monotone voice forcing tons of info you don't actually need because he has to hit the youtuber meta in terms of video length.

You could boil this 10 minute video down into like 2 sentences for people trying to set up HDR on their system. For people who find the "why" interesting, ok fine, but for people trying to find settings, his videos are awful.
