Nintendoomed lol... actually is it?
The $299 models are almost sold out online less than 12 hours after start of sales.... thats only a few weeks quicker than it took for the ps4 for what it is worth..
It is worth nothing.

That's because when the $300 price tag was revealed people thought that'd be one of the only 2 or 3 issues, turns out there were more issues than that.For the record, I think this thread would be identical to this if it was $250 and Splatoon and Smash were at launch.
It'll be a success, but not at launch. It's not completely analogous to the 3DS, obviously, but remember, kids -- that system was a fucking trainwreck at launch.

As the price drops and Nintendo fills out the software, yes.

You do know because it's a world wide launch right? That's why they have less consoles to sell to larger amount of people wanting to buy them equals selling out quicker.
PS4 did not do world wide release in November, they released in certain territories then released later in Japan along with other territories.
Gaf knows nothing. Pretty much everybody chiming in here is biased either pro or against Nintendo.

Nintendo revealed their plans for the U.S. launch of the Wii U at a press event on Thursday. Gamestop and other retailers began taking pre-orders for console bundles shortly after the event. Since the Deluxe version sold out in less than 72 hours, it seems fair to assume that its only a matter of time before Gamestop runs out of basic bundles as well. Gamestop employees were unsure of how long stores would have to wait before getting restocked after launch.
I don't see how that's relevant, since the PS4/X1 should have fine legs and room for growth still, but fine.I agree, but there's already 50+ million of those households that already have a PS4/X1.
No.
It has a terrible price and the library (future as well) is abysmal.
They will be in a terrible spot if they don't react after the initial launch hype dies down. I'll say it's gonna plummet after the first few sales.
The hype sure deflated with the presentation...
The launch is gonna be insane that's for sure, it's 6 months later that will be telling.
Gamestop Has Already Sold Out Their Wii U Deluxe Pre-Orders
Preorders for a console selling out means nothing
The Wii U and Xbox one did great with pre orders and initial launch sales. The question is for how long.opposed to questioning it without giving any refuting arguement ... well yes.. yes I do
Just because they don't sell the hardware for a loss doesn't mean the Switch will be profitable. There are salaries to pay. Marketing costs money. HD game development costs millions. R&D. Probably other things I'm missing too. If the margin is $50 (pulling this number out of my ass) but it sells horrible who cares?A success? Meaning will it be profitable? Yes. Yes it will.
As the price drops and Nintendo fills out the software, yes.

People don't want to keep buying accessories to be able to play games. No people don't want to pay extra money to get a memory card for their $300 console. Much less for their much inferior online infrastructure compared to Xbox live and psn.

every launch console sells out. means nothing unless you are offering number of units shipped to retailiers??
I expect the first few NPD's Switch sells quite well and some people start serving crow a bit early then a moderate drop followed by a holiday rise, then right about FEB 2018, the dog days set in and unless there are massive game releases, it settles in to a fairly meh realm of sales............ I am most interested in the first few NPD's not the sales but the percent drop from month to month.
However I do think they can get some 3ds and some Wiiu fans so combining those fan bases I think it will do better than WiiU.....
50-60 million lifetime.
The 3DS and Vita weren't also home consoles. I think that, and the fact that it has 2 controllers out of the box will help it appeal to families. It's pretty cool that you can buy the system and Mario Kart and instantly have a multiplayer setup that works both in a car and on your TV.
Now, will people actually buy that when they already have tablets and smartphones? Idk...

Refuting arguments:
1)EXTREMELY LOW SUPPLY CHAIN thus its not hard to sell out when you only make 3 of them per retail location, lol.
2)the bulk of console releases sell out of pre-orders...even consoles that ended up ultimately failing...for example the Wii U.
To focus the question in the OP a bit more, do folks have specific predictions about exactly when/how this chart (Amazon's current 'Best Sellers in Video Games' Chart) will change, over time?
What will this chart look like a few days from now? What will it look like a few weeks from now?
Is that so? My understanding is that pre-orders were open for some time, long enough to sell through the quantities that were available for pre-order, and to thereby make an impact on the chart. Is that incorrect?
If it's correct, the question would be, simply: how long, exactly, do you expect this to last? And when exactly would you expect the Switch to come back down to Earth (as measured by this particular chart)?
Hmm, plenty of folks in that thread are reporting that they were able to successfully pre-order the system through Amazon:Games and accessories are available to preorder on amazon but the system was not and Nintendo lists only Gamestop, target, and best buy on their site for where to preorder right this minute.
ALso had the amazon site open on the switch page all night and it never changed over to preorder.
So I'm pre-ordering this on Amazon for a friend who asked me to do this for him. He told me he won't have internet access for a few weeks. So I placed a pre-order on Amazon. The website says my order has been placed and I have an order number. So do I have a Switch pre-ordered now? This all feels way too easy
And got. Thanks.
Thanks. I can cancel my Best Buy order now. May even cancel this one. I'm so conflicted right now.
Got it and I had a giftcard I didn't know about so $229.99 Switch!
Limit 1 per account. Smart move. Scalpers am cry.
