Granted, if Shadows were an indy game that was developed on a much, much lower budget, that 1 million sales estimate would make the game a huge success. But devs like Ubisoft have so many bullshit "positions" for employees who literally do nothing all day, and such an intense focus on graphics (Which drive the cost of a game up immensely) rather than gameplay, that their expenses are absurd and every game they release would have to be a classic like AC II in order to keep them afloat. It's an unsustainable business model.
The credits for shadows is an unironic feature length film about the taking of a census at an indian province.
And that's not to mention that all the digital storefronts take a 30% cut
I mean, all retailers take approximately 30%. Psn or xbox or steam or the eshop, they're just taking the same retail cut that your best buy or wal mart is going to take.
 
Kirby Air Riders: Sequel to a gamecube game that no one knew about and didn't sell = tons of info, good directs, clear support from goytendo.
Metroid Prime 4: Sequel to one of the best trilogies in gaming = 8+ years in development hell, minimal info, no directs of any substance, minimal support from goytendo.

Why though?
Because Sakurai loves to talk.
 
All these phony inflated numbers (especially the "X players automatically means X full-price sales!" stuff) reminds me of every press release made by any US government agency (city, state or federal) about any kind of major drug bust, where they announce an approximate amount (by weight) of impounded drug and then declare it's worth ELEVENTY-BILLION-MILLION DOLLARS! When you dare ask "how the fuck did you possibly value that?" they always fall back on "oh well this one time five years ago an informant (who we totally trust 100%) claimed he once knew a guy who paid X inflated amount for Y miniscule amount of this drug, so we've declared that to be its 'street value' and obviously everybody always pays full 'retail' price for their drugs!"

i.e. they pick the highest possible price they can tie any kind of evidence to, anecdotal or not, punch it into their calculator and hit [multiply]. Fucking liars.

I'd probably die of shock the day I met an honest person dispensing honest numbers about something.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Or the CPI numbers (which conveniently removed Food and Gas price inflation data).
 
The switch 2 has sold over 10 million units worldwide.

Nintendeen and others are on suicide watch right now.
I got called a bootlicker a few months back for saying someone was retarded for seemingly to genuinely think sub 750k LIFETIME for the switch 2 was a reasonable prediction.
Nintendo keeps winning the console space. Going to be interesting to see how long it will take to outsell PS5.
In every country we have actual sales data for, PS5 is down 40-60% YoY. With a PS6 this fucking close on the horizon, it's basically gta gives them a 30 million boost or bust.

Problem is, a genuine retard wouldn't doubt Nintendo's success. So they're even less intelligent than one of them.
 
Don't worry. NintenDeen will spin this somehow as a loss. 🎃
It's certainly a loss for consumers, their property rights moving forward, and for their wallets. No one thought goytendo was going to get their shit pushed in (even when they should). The ultimate loss is one for the industry. People may be free to buy a switch 2 or a virtual boy 1.5 or some labo cardboard crap, but those things selling doesn't make goytendo's practices good, or the modern industry any less shit and in need of a reset.

People shouldn't be celebrating goytendo making bank on anything, that seems to me like console war faggotry of the lowest caliber.

If you're unwilling to be honest about basic observable reality, under no circumstances will anything you say be of any contribution to any discussion you force your way into, and you should be reviled as much as troons are, as you're spiritually kindred to them.
 
Today I learned that to tear down a switch 2 pro controller, you need to use isopropyl alochol and a spudger since they designed them with a top plate, then you can get to the screws and disassemble it. They shitified the process just enough to make it a slight hassle having to replace those drifting marvel thumbsticks.

With the horrendous specs of the Switch 2, the only studios they can fit in are indie studios. But I do hope they go full retard and buy Ubisoft so they can make more empty sandbox games.
the original switch was only barely as strong as an iPad but they made it work, it has tons of ports that while mostly inferior you can now play just about any game released in the past 40 years on it. if you want good graphics go blow $4000 on an RTX 5090 super ultra nyidia card. nintendo stopped giving a shit about strong hardware after the N64 but they also forgot they have to care about making a console that has fun games on it with the Wii U. devs finally came back when they stopped being retarded. launching the switch 2 this early with nogaems because of tariff scares will probably hurt them in the long run, not quite as bad as sega surprise dropping the saturn but still not good.
