The Switch 2 sold 5.8 million units in one month:

Pretty impressive for a repeat of the Wii U!

Whats interesting is they admit they sold through in the first 7 weeks (so up to July 25) 6 million units. So it seems a lot of the sales have been heavily frontloaded. The console is now readily available so it seems we may have gotten through the early adopters pretty quickly. We may look back and view the success of the Switch 2 as more of a supply thing than a demand thing. We've never seen a console this well supplied in the first week but other consoles were still supply constraint at 6 million.

The Switch is close to becoming the best selling console of all time! With the Switch 2 already out, Nintendo has to be careful with their pricing to make that dream a reality. Thankfully it should be easy as long as they follow the pattern set by literally all of their earlier consoles and don’t do anything completely retar-

Switch 1 products will get a price change while Switch 2 products remain unaffected.

And don’t even think about pretending that tariffs have anything to do with this decision because A) If they did, Nintendo would have raised prices months ago, B) The Switch is already overpriced at $300, and C) Tariffs against Japan are relatively low.

I wonder how many Trump voting Nintendo fans there are in the US.

They will never admit that their own vote directly caused the price of Switch consoles and accessories to increase.

The fact that there are people who base their political opinions on the cost of their bing bing wahoos is absolutely depressing.

Sadly no.

It makes sense, Switch 2 is comprised out of excess Switch 1 parts.

Fair enough.


Especially since S2 has less exclusives 2 months later than Wii U did at launch. Guess that "U" in the name really did confuse a lot of customers.

One game that people want to play is worth more than ten that they don't.

edit: Shit sucks on S1 price increase. I was hoping that they were cheap enough to make that they could keep prices even despite Trump's bullshit (just as they did after Covid/Bidenflation, which were stealth drops compared to the other two going up.)

You don't want to play a mainline Mario game? And Switch 2 doesn't even HAVE 10 games, let alone 10 people want to play. Also, a mainline Mario game is nothing to sneeze at.

They also ported it to Switch and it went on the sell more than Mario 64.

In fact, the best selling Nintendo Game ever is a Wii U game that got ported to Switch, so clearly the issue wasn't that people didn't like the games for Wii U, they just didn't want the Wii U itself.

Yeah, pretty much. Which is understandable, the tablet kinda sucked. Not a great screen and was too big, also felt cheap and couldn't go far from the Wii U at all.

Wii U didn't have a mainline Mario game at launch. It had a title in the NSMB side-series. And no, I wasn't interested in it.

Lol that's not a side series, it's a main series entry.

It isn't, it was made by a team with no direct tie-back to the unbroken chain of people making Mario titles since at least SMB3.
