Thread: Nintendo Switch 2 sold 3.5 million in 4 days
Sales
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.

I think he has to make a lot of his videos as if nobody has ever seen his videos before. So even though we might know what HGIG is you can't assume everybody looking to dial in HDR settings for that brand new switch 2 knows what's going on.

Oh, absolutely. But I just mean if I'm Casual Carl and I heard someone mention that I need to fix my HDR settings on the new Switch 2 that my wife's boyfriend bought for me, I'm fucked if the only available resource is this guy's videos :ROFLMAO:

Literally proves my point.

How did you manage to listen to that gaylord long enough to confirm? It's the most biased video he found and the dude making that video is the definition of ActShuAlLY. Couldn't listen to that butthurt nerd for more than a minute without cringe saturating the brainwaves
 
Most of the thid parties were old ports so it's not surprising they didn't do well. Cyberpunk being a technical showpiece for the platform being the exception. I think once we start seeing brand new third party games launch day and date with the platform they will perform better

I didn't. It's just a fact that any attempt to play Switch 1 games not supported prevent other games via a card exploit or whatever the specifics warrants Nintendo banning your console. Once again, you do not own your Switch 2 console. This DRM policy is worse than even the Xbox One reveal.

The people who bought this are the problem. Those who continue to buy woke f@ggot games and DEI nonsense are the problem to this industry being a cesspool of sewage that it currently is. I'm disappointed this console continues to get sales and the defense force coming in to defend it because of stupid fanboy f@ggotry gets in the way. None of these companies deserve respect let alone loyalty. There is zero excuse to this anti consumer behavior. I don't buy this shit and many don't but far more do and as a result everyone suffers. This infection of bad decisions become normal within the industry and that isn't acceptable nor ok.

I'm sorry what the hell is that sentence.

There is zero excuse to this anti consumer behavior.

Sure there is an excuse. It's called capitalism. Money dictates the rules. That's the world you're living in. Nothing stops until the money stops, and if you're only part of a tiny minority that cares for something that is wrong to you, your only option is to walk away and let everyone else do their thing. Money is power.

Also power is power, but I don't think the average user has any capacity of bombing Nintendo. Nor would it be particularly productive.

Below some 3rd party expectations doesn't mean it didn't sell well. Matt Piscatella said, 3rd parties on Switch 2 sold 40% vs 20% on Switch 1 launch.

But if they could've sold more if it wasn't Game Key Cards? Possibly but hard to say, this early.

As for me I've been just buying/preordering physical games. I'll wait till discount for GKC games. We know that's going to happen especially for 3rd parties and they cheap to producer too.

Not every game is compatible. That's a big list. The use of mig flash carts are causing consoles to get bricked. And based on your homosexual response, you tolerate this and are no different than a Redditor. These corporate hacks are not banning people for piracy. This is solely to bypass the lack of backwards compatibility.

I simply don't buy this shit. The issue is that this kind of behavior follows through everywhere. Other companies take similar measures because that's now the accepted practice. The same shit that applies to pride bullshit or DEI. To call this capitalism is dishonest as Hell to an extent because even if gamers weren't such idiots, this crap is still pushed regardless of profit.

We have seen many franchises or games get DEI or pride nonsense shoved into our faces and whether it made money or flopped, it kept going on. It doesn't matter if it tanks, they will not stop because many still cave in and tolerate the infection to spread with little compromises. This lack of gatekeeping and total tolerance to this poison is why the industry will keep being shit and they will feed you this shit forever. Your mentality is exactly the driving force as to why shit games will continue.

It's one thing to see bad games being bought. When video game preservation, ownership of video games are being attacked, piracy is truly justified. When franchises you once like or appreciate become ideological propaganda thanks to radical dysgenics, there is no damn escape and they will continue to quadruple down. Stop defending this shit. This industry needs to die brutally.
 
I think I am confused on the problem here. Nintendo is banning (but not bricking) folks from Nintendo services if they use Mig Cart games?

Isn't that kinda what one would expect to happen?

I mean people COULD use them for rips of their own games. But let's try to honest here and a knowledge that the overwhelming majority use them for pirated games.

If those are the facts. I don't see how it's a big deal. Want to run roms, get a different piece of HW. There are endless makers and new ones pop up all the time. This sounds like outrage looking for a problem.

Console was banned from Nintendo services not brick. Can still play physical offline games. Account isn't banned either.

I am not a Redditor. I am a soviet-raised socialist, which may or may not be worse depending on your outlook. I fully despise the modern capitalism, but I am on the outside of it looking in, from the most sanctioned and thus most removed from it all country in the world, which makes your struggles hilarious to me.

I had the ability to hack my first switch for years, but never did, because once I did that I knew I would be exposing myself to Nintendo banning shit. Now that I have a switch 2 I have hacked my switch and it will never go online again.

When you start intentionally doing stuff you know the manufacturer doesn't want you to do with it you accept that you will no longer be able to use their services. Similar to how if you start fucking with internals of systems you void your warranty. You are of course still free to do what you want with the system because you still own it. What you don't own are Nintendo's servers.

Yeah I just find it such a bizarre thing. Sony has banned consoles since the PS3 days for this kinda stuff. I assume MS does the same if it knows a hacked xbox is ripping the library for free.

But Nintendo does it and actually succeeds at it and suddenly we don't own the console or whatever justification pops out :ROFLMAO:

Your time is short, mate. Enjoy it while you still can. Don't waste your time complaining about things you have no control over.
