Did you guys see the sales on gaming side.

I was right Yankee! Gaming is dying this gen. Every console is getting smashed compared to last gen except the PS4.

Switch is our last and best chance.

Me and the rest of Falcons-GAF in the club:

That is copyright infringement.

Those are not Falcons fans. That is just an average run of the mill JoyConBoy. That is also what most of us look like without our shirt. That is just how we stretch before we get our JoyCon on.

This is theft. Please take this GIF down or you will hear from my attorney (that happens to be me).

Switch should do very well against a price dropped Xbone, PS4 and Scorpio around the holidays.

PS4 can carry the industry like the Cowboys carried the NFL ratings this year.

Why are we acting like people are buying the Xbox?

The only console people are buying is the PS4. I am sure it will continue to sell well this holidays but it is a bitch ass console that you can't even take outside. With the PS4 you have to choose between playing FuckFest online with some fat racist dudes or hanging out with some hot people out on the rooftop. With the Switch you can have it all. The rooftop, the hot friends and some gaming. The Switch is even compatible with sluts as seen by the dick milking simulation. PS4 ain't for no sluts...
 
Looking at that nugget thread hmmmm🤔🤔🤔
I've been forming a opinion over the last few months after current events, that Gaf might routinely be wrong. That thread seems to add to my suspicions

What sales?
Xbone is like 30 million sales behind PS4.

I think it has sold like 24 million consoles. So like 10 million more than the WiiU.

Basically everything is dying except the PS4. I said that to Yankee many times in the past and he would stroke his giraffe and tell me that I was wrong and that Sam Bradford was going to be the greatest qb of all time.

This gata was a hoax, no one ever found evidence of it existing.
Pretty sure that one is real and there is video of it.

Apparently that is how they live in Florida.

Walking around with meth in their pockets, no shirts on and fucking 13 foot alligators on the golf course. Thats what all of America will be like if we don't fight back...

Are we going to form sides/alliances with the console wars? Those NPD threads during the PS3 era were what led me to GAF.

Don't worry Bionic, Sea of Thieves will save gaming.



That fridge probably has more games than the Switch too.
Sorry Boban. The numbers don't lie. XBone ain't shit. Its over.

Time to suck it up and shift to Switch.

Last observation before sleep. I hope the Steelers come out pass heavy with a lot of play action to start the game. We did this to throw the Colts off their game in Indy many a moon ago and it really threw them off their game. That Colts team had a better D than this Pats team but I would love to see us go unconventional for the first 3 drives and get a nice, healthy lead going before Harrison comes unblocked in the 2nd quarter and sends Brady back to his deluxe bitch blanket on the sidelines in tears. Pats are going to be totally focused on Bell and if we PA early I could see it fucking with them.

Its the least we could do since we coming!

Before you head to bed answer this for me what would you rather have Steelers SB or Switch success?

you think the Switch will sell 25 million+?

:jnc Gata come get Bionic, time to put his senile ass in a home.
You think 25 million is something impressive?

Thats barely a step above Gamecube and Xbox (OG).

I should state that I really don't give a fuck about sales. JoyConBoyz is into most of the good shit but we ain't about those numbers (disregard my purchase of an abacus for my kids while you read this).

I don't know how much Switch will sell. But I do know it will save your soul. Xbone doesn't have that technology.
 
Can't wait





Eh I could see it ending up around there if they keep fucking up. If they course correct at E3 and show that they have some solid games lined up it'll be a success. Ultimately once the library gets to a point a lot of the cost stuff goes out the window. Just gotta hope they have accounts and cloud saves figured out.
If all else fails, they will release an exclusive Pokemon game and it will sell out for a year.

Do you really?

I think it'll do better than the Wii U but that's about it.
Yeah. In addition to its many (obvious) shortcomings, Wii U never got Nintendo's full attention the way the switch will.

Don't make me choose between my children. That is harsh and I am not going to answer that question.

I will say this. I will obviously cry tears of happiness when the Steelers beat the Pats (bigger than a SB in fact) and when the USPS dude delivers a Switch in my hands. I just don't know which one will cause me to cry more. That is the question you should be asking and we will know the answer to that in another 6 weeks.

Both of these things will make all of us happy and help us to forget about real life which is probably about to get shitty for the next few years.

Maybe MS scraps Scorpio and re-brands a new console around Kinect using the X360 engine and only charges like $250 for it.

I've been thinking about that actually. I'm sure that's true, but a nice thing about Pokemon is you can get a 2DS + Pokemon for around $140. Getting a Switch with the new Pokemon is $360. Plus, sometimes parents get each of their kids their own 2/3DS. Do you see the same thing happening for the Switch? I dunno I could see it being a bigger barrier than expected

Last Zelda I played was the original on the NES.

No fucks given. Dont feel like I have missed anything

The new one is essentially a 3D evolution of the original

When you ignorant as fuck and don't care if anybody knows.

I have to respect that. You keep being you Mech. The world doesn't need all sexy people (most of whom game exclusively on the Switch) and winners. Having people like you around makes it interesting.

JoyConBoyz don't got no IQ test so if you ever want to civilize yourself we got a spot here for you.

If Nintendo released a Pokemon that's up to the standards of modern gaming it'd be huge.

Look at Zelda finally breaking that mold. They are sitting on a ton of potential, but we'll see if they cease the moment.

Yeah, i think the big pokemon switchplosion will probably be a 2018/2019 thing. While the 3DS is alive, pokemon's not a switch seller. But the 3DS is long in the tooth already, just a matter of time before nintendo kills it.
 
Friend, I can be bad at Madden on any system :)

I could have coached you up to 8-8 though :(

I think Switch will sell way more than that over its life...

Gaming side is way down on the Switch, it is basically guaranteed to be a commercial success.

I don't see it. Switch doesn't have the momentum the Wii U did coming off the back of the insane success of the Wii. Word of mouth is terrible, the best launch title is also coming to Wii U, paying for an online service which still seems backwards as fuck, the next system-selling game is coming out in the holiday season when PS4 Pro will be discounted and the Scorpio is being released at the same time.

Nintendo are going to have to put on the greatest E3 show of all time otherwise they're completely fucked.

... even if they're "completely fucked", it's just for this year. They'll make changes, slash prices, Pokemon/Mario/etc will come out, tens of millions of consoles sold in a few months, Nintendo saved, GAF was wrong again, yadda yadda yadda

I'd like Nintendo to get smacked down for their pricing, but I think "momentum" is overrated, and most people underestimate the negative impact bad marketing had on the Wii U. Even mediocre word of mouth will mean a big improvement this time around.

It'll be a commercial success and Nintendo will get away with charging people for shitty online. :(
