Nintendo Switch 2 sales set a record in four days - Lmao

Link

New YorkCNN —
Nintendo announced Wednesday that it sold more than 3.5 million Switch 2 consoles, marking a new record for the company.

The Japanese company said that it’s the “highest global sales level” for any Nintendo device within the first four days of release and perhaps puts Nintendo in good shape to meet its goal of selling 15 million Switch 2 devices by the end of next March.

Excitement has swirled over the $450 device because it’s Nintendo’s first major console launch since the original Switch arrived about eight years ago. The original Switch ended up selling 152 million units since its 2017 release.

Nintendo released the Switch 2 on June 5, with hardcore gamers lining up for hours for the gaming console and Best Buy stores extending hours to meet demand.

Nintendo has made significant upgrades to the Switch 2 hardware to justify the hefty price increase, including a larger screen, upgraded versions of the Joy-Con controllers and new social features. It also has several new features, including a Game Chat function that lets gamers communicate with other players by tapping a button on the console.

Look at this dumb wop - He's right behind you screaming as bowser is about to assault him sexually, you legit green spaghetti eating fuck. As a kid, this artwork would upset me more than the terrible educational game itself.

A lot of neckbeards and Nintendo fansoys ran out and bought one. I haven't and refuse to buy one till the price drops down quite a bit. I am not paying nearly $500 for a handheld PS4 which was outdated when the actual PS4 released. Mario Kart World looks no different than Mario Kart 8. With the whole no games on the game cards and issues with the Nintendo EULA I might not get one at all. The thing I liked about the Switch was the portability so I could play a game anywhere. I also liked the fact that I could get a physical copy of a game. The Switch 2 just isn't worth $450.

LOL, the price is NEVER going to go down.

PS5 and Xbox Series X have only gone UP in price since they launched. Switch 2 is gonna seem like a bargain when the next-gen consoles are announced and cost $800 with no disc drive.

It will come down when they end up with enough of them sitting around. The same thing happened with the PS3, and Sony was being super cocky back then. The PS3 price drops started pretty quick.

Other companies are gonna use this to push the price of games up to $80 btw

And it'll be $100 when GTA 6 drops.

Ps5 has millions sat on shelves. Sony have increased the price 3 times and missed all of their sales targets.

When enough stock builds up the prices will drop. Also end of life the prices usually come down. I don't need a Switch 2 right away.

There is always the used market as well.

Yeah because the PS3 was failing at launch.

Switch 2 is gonna sell 15 million in less than 9 months.

 

[Jinn in the phone]

You will buy one for your gf, you will play the baby games, you will bing bing wahoo.

They were going to do it anyway. The big N probably went first because they can't subsidize the cost of their products with profits from other divisions like Sony and Microsoft can. But make no mistake, it will be industry-wide.

Budgets are too massive. Dev teams are too big. The industry needs to crash and leave CoDslop consoomers with nothing to play.

LMAO… you’re the one getting emotional, you seem triggered by the Switch 2’s record breaking sales.

The Ps5 is five years old this year and the price was increased a few months ago. In the past, I would agree with you 100%, but this generation is fucking retarded. Nintendo have gotten away with charging £80 for games. They'll get away with increasing the price of S2, either by direct price increases blamed on tarrifs/teh economy/teh industry, or they'll launch a S2 model at an exorbitant price which had an OLED screen.

There is always the used market as well.

I buy many things used, but I wouldn't buy a new console used.

This thread reads like the glory days of 14 year olds bitching about the PS2 or the Xbox being better. And nary a single faggy pride avatar like every other video game community today. Just people calling each other retards because their overpriced system of choice is the wrong one.

Nature is healing.
