Nintendo Switch 2 - For the Soytendo consoomers to speculate about the successor to the Switch, recently announced for 2025.

As a PC gamer I always found that Sony fanboys were the worst. First off there is just more of them the PS2 is the best selling console of all time that made a lot of sony fanboys the PS4 sold so well and was uncontested so the Sony fanboys had success they could be proud of for some reason.

Microsoft fanboys maybe were worst during the 360 era but that was a long time ago and now they don't exist

Nintendo has some retarded fanboys but generally speaking their consoles don't sell as well and a lot of the buyers of Nintendo consoles are parents for their kids or just older boomers who don't really get attached to them or argue the console online.

Personally I haven't seen a Sony fanboy for years now, there are probably some on Reddit, but the console wars have ended for a decade by now. On the other hand Nintendo is basically the video game equivalent of Apple, a shit console for retarded fanbase with few advantages that is seen as a brand symbol by way too many people.

I see way too many people wearing shit with Nintendo characters on it. Not to mention having a local "Nintendo store" with overpriced chink merchandise. I don't know if it exists for Sony or MS.

This is the first “pay-to-play” button, only on Nintendo.

Nintendo confirms you will have to pay to use the Switch 2’s C button

David, are you brown or European? I ask because no matter what you answer with, your unwarranted superiority complex revealed yourself as chronically retarded.

It was Nintendo that wanted to hijack the prices in order to make as much profits from their die-hard fanbase as possible, the tariffs would've done little in changing that. This was their plan from the beginning and they're going to take full advantage of it.

Now pipe it down so I can laugh at the Nintendies justifying the ludicrous prices of their first-party games.

By the end of this year, I’m going to laugh so fucking hard at everyone who said the Switch 2 would be a “repeat of the Wii U”.

I think it's going to be the biggest launch of a videogame console in history, if only because Nintendo has been sitting on it for a while to build up a massive buffer of a supply to combat scalping. I don't think even the people anticipating it being successful are ready for just  how successful it's going to be at first. The real question is how well it holds onto that momentum.

You think scalpers are going to buy up stock for the first six months?

Probably. At least as best they can.

I actually support just about any anti-scalper schemes these corpos attempt. To that end, Nike and Adidas should be fired into the sun.

Spectating the lines at shoe stores is very entertaining though.

Yeah, it's one thing to be mad at and even hate nintendo or the switch 2 for legitimate reasons, they definitely exist, but if you hate nintendo so much that you're going to bat for the actual scum of the earth game journalists from ign, polygon, gamespot, kotaku, etc, and for good measure, throw in simping for redditors and all kinds of looney troons? If you're that deep into it, I feel like you would have been mad even if the switch 2 cost $250, was more powerful than a 4070, and games were $50, making your contributions to any discussion all but meaningless, and your ire directed towards the things actually worthy of ire all but performative.

With the Switch 2, They will be stuck with the stock because nobody is going to be buying the shit. If they released this a few years ago when the pandemic was happening around 2021 or 2022 at least 100 bucks cheaper with cheaper games. They could have won.

The game cases for the Switch 2 are ugly as shit, I hate the way the logo is centered while barely taking any space and how the header eats so much space. Should've just done it like how Sony does it and changed the colors of it every generation.

If that happens then Nintendo will just do a price cut. And look for them to nickle and dime elsewhere.

Absolutely. What i’m more interested in is actual game sales. System could sell out but push mediocre game sales because scalpers are all a bunch of dicks.

Speaking of scalpers. I worked with a dude that bought up all the PS2 Slims he could get his hands on in 2005. He bought out three stores worth of consoles. Once management got wind of it, fired.

The switch has been selling in the ballpark of 15 million per year for the past 3 years, and is still going to be over 10 million this year. By comparison, the ps4 was down to just under 6 million sales per year the fiscal year before the ps5 released, and even that was somewhat buoyed by the start of the pandemic. Despite the (somewhat manufactured) shortages with ps5 hardware, the absolutely paltry jump in power compared to the ps4, FAR lower than the jump from switch to switch 2, the utter DEARTH of games that still continues to this day 4 1/2 years later, and the fact that the ps5, especially around launch, would often play crossgen games at a lower framerate than the ps4 counterpart unless it was an unmitigated disaster like cyberbunk due to focusing on resolution over everything else unless you specifically played a ps4 version in a ps5, it's currently sitting at over 70 million sold.

Switch 2 is practically guaranteed 30 million sales in japan alone, probably at least 5 million in its first year. Whether or not they personally appeal to you, the switch 2 will have more actual exclusives by black friday of this year than the ps5 will have, which will mark the 5 year anniversary of the ps5's launch. Will it reach the absurd heights of the switch 1? I highly doubt it, unless it gets something utterly unprecedented super early on in its life. But thinking it's going to bomb? I'm sorry, but that's just delusion.
