Conversly, I'd say it's one of the best systems Nintendo has ever made, with easily one of their best and most diverse libraries of games, and anyone who isn't able to find enjoyment out of it probably needs a new hobby.
Between the current state of the Switch, Playstation 4/5 and PC gaming, I'd say this is the healthiest and most fun and creative the games industry has been for decades.
AC looks like the most boring game ever and 22mil people bought that shit? i would say Nintendo fans are suckers for buying this but i said it before and got a warning so i'm not saying it this time no sir
but i guess the no 3rd party support for Switch is working great for Nintendo
The Switch has been out for about half the time the PS4 has (just over 3 years vs almost almost years) and has sold more than half what the PS4 has sold. I'd say that is pretty good going. Indeed based on what I can find on Google, it seems like it took the PS4 around 4 years to sell 60 million (so a year longer than the Switch has taken). And some of those attach rates are insane (literally 11 in every 3 Switch owners has AC, Mario kart and Smash Bros, and almost that number have Pokemon and Zelda).
Sony already did, and they got clapped by NintendoI can't believe Sony or Microsoft haven't made a handheld to compete yet
Yeah in like the 16th Century. It's been donkey's years since handhelds came out. The Vita was doomed by a few factors and none of them were because of the lack of competition in the handheld space.Sony already did, and they got clapped by Nintendo
It is trash. I bought my sister a switch and AC for her bday.AC is what? you plant and grow and trade shit? where is the game? this looks like the most boring shit ever created
but enjoy i guess

Sony could never compete in handheld market with Nintendo. Sony finally realized this despite the product being solid. The 3DS blew it out of the water in sales every timeThe PSP sold well. They clapped themselves with the Vita.
The 10 best-selling first-party Switch titles are:
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 26.74 million
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons – 22.4 million
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – 19.99 million
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 18.60 million
- Pokemon Sword / Pokemon Shield – 18.22 million
- Super Mario Odyssey – 18.06 million
- Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! / Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! – 12.20 million
- Super Mario Party – 10.94 million
- Splatoon 2 – 10.71 million
- New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe – 7.44 million
MS knows they will lose the market. Sony failed multiple times to even get close to Nintendo's success.Yeah in like the 16th Century. It's been donkey's years since handhelds came out.

Microsoft like to copy people, so i'm suprised they haven't copied Nintendo this time.
Nintendo are the kings, no question. Why anyone would let one business have 100% of the market is beyond me. Especially with Xcloud coming out, it's a no brainer. Imagine Gamepass on another 20-30 million devicesMS knows they will lose the market. Sony failed multiple times to even get close to Nintendo's success.
We haven't even seen this kind of performance out of Nintendo before!Consider for a moment that Nintendo almost has ten straight first party games are 10 million sellers. 6 of them are, or round up to 20 million sellers.
I don't know if I've ever seen that kind of consistent performance out of a single publisher before.
It's like almost everything they make is a guaranteed multi-million seller, if not much, much more.
Nintendo might be in the healthiest place it's been since Nintendo 64. Yes, Wii and DS, but this seems like everything they make, not just the casual friendly games, is flying out the door.
I will always stand by my opinion, that Nintendo will outlast both Sony and Microsoft in the video game business. They have the market cornered on developing games without crazy expensive budgets.Consider for a moment that Nintendo almost has ten straight first party games are 10 million sellers. 6 of them are, or round up to 20 million sellers.

That is why MS is doing the Xcloud thing on mobile devices. They don't have to make a second system, it's just another reason to get xcloud/ gamepass. Im not saying it's impossible, but it will be hard as fuck especially with mobile devices already dominant in the market. You need some killer app games and ones that appeal to people easy to play on the go. That is where Sony failed. They tried to market it as "AAA games on the go".Nintendo are the kings, no question.

I kind of agree, some games won't work while out and about, the PSP did alright though. I think there's call for it.That is why MS is doing the Xcloud thing on mobile devices.

SwSh was fun for what it is, it never come to the point of disappointment realistically.
That means it will sell, just like Diamond and Pearl.
I loved the PSP over any portable. Vita? Fuck Vita. Literally will never buy it because of the memory card and the charger.Sony could never compete in handheld market with Nintendo. Sony finally realized this despite the product being solid. The 3DS blew it out of the water in sales every time
I've held NTDOY for nearly a decade. I'm sick of their lackluster output. Consolidating handheld and console divisions my ass. I think tonight might just be the time to get out. I'm thinking on it. Contemplating. Hummmmm
I can't believe Sony or Microsoft haven't made a handheld to compete yet
I've not much to say to refute that, I guess the experience will varies per person. For example I've failed to finish SunMoon and never played XY, and we had tons of newcomers and Gen1 nerds getting it the bandwagon too for the first time in a while.I think it was a huge disappointment personally, I replayed X and Y and Sun and Moon multiple times but didn't even bother with the post game in this one.

You know it's just a video game console right and not your wife.
I just found the language you used amusing. You sound like a mistreated husband who's come to the realisation he wants to walk out on his wife in the middle of the night.What do you mean? It's an investment.

Evergreen monsters for all of those AAA Nintendo games.
Nintendo's worst enemy in this year is the hardware production lines.

Awful console (home and handheld) with barely any game the, fact that is selling a lot tells a lot about the current state of the market.
Nintendo had another stroke of luck.
Nintendo masters of selling shit and people still buy it.
Because they can't.
They don't have those type of pickup and play anywhere games that Nintendo specialise in.
League of their own.
COVID helped and it suits all demographics from kids to grannies. It also has a fixed camera and simple controls. It's defnitely a success for how pull marketing can work during times of extreme circumstance.
I didn't say Nintendo fans are suckers don't change my words
I don't play sports games or COD, but atleast you do "something" in those games
AC is what? you plant and grow and trade shit? where is the game? this looks like the most boring shit ever created

PSP sold like 80 million units. It’s true though, it’s extremely hard to got to bat against Nintendo in the portable space. It will be interesting to see how Xcloud does. It’s unlikely it will get much traction but who knows.
Keep telling yourself that fella, and here is a tissue to wipe away those salty tears.
You're trying to hard buddy.if a comment about a product triggers you so much, it's clear as your tears who's crying here.
