Why didn't Nintendo include the pro controller and two chargers and a game for $250? Typical Nintendo
Pretty much very smart. They got a version of their most Nintendo friendly mascot game and marked up the price. Wouldn't have worked as well with the vast majority of their otther franchises but unlike a lot of Japanese publishers they seem to know what they're doing. I'm fairly cerrajn if Capcom have coughed up trafitional megaman it would have also made money. Capcom lacks that sort of foresight sadly for them.Yup, they're benefitting from no one else(third party wise) showing up for one.
Jesus christ... expecting two chargers in the box.
Geez, calm down with the Wii comparison, it's been 3 weeks...
EDIT: Wait, power chargers? Why are people buying extras?
I'm hoping they see all the money they've made and bring back other IPs...like Castlevania.
The WiiU didn't really have a fantastic launch. It was aight but the numbers were not good in Europe for example. Ot was mostly Japan where the launch looked good.
but we are in a period where console sales aren't that great
It's too early to say much about the Switch's success, but it isn't too early to start preparing GAF's crow for when Christmas sales figures come out in 2018.
Well they sure love the switch thanks to the shitty percentage of Digital compared to the competition and thanks to the lack of Storage on board.
quote for visibilityAttach Rate = Stuff bought with the system.
What counts as attach?
Games, Accessories, Micro SD cards, system warranties, game warranties, pre-orders, etc.
My tiny store had a 900% attach on Switch launch. Means for every switch sold, I sold nine items with it. Games, warranty, preorders, etc.
Basically means that people bought a lot of stuff with their systems.
I don't know how they could tell considering the shortages. It's also very early to say anything. Personally I don't see it doing very well as a console. I think it might do decent if Nintendo slashes the prices and stop advertising it as one. Focus on mobile games.
Not to mention hd rumble, ir motion among other joycon thingsIt's best not to take the overall opinions of video game boards.
I thought it was a good presentation, but there was a lot a lot of hyperbole calling it a trash and horrible presentation.
You knew about 1,2 Switch, ARMS, Xenoblade 2, Super Mario Odyssey, the price of the system, the release date, Project Octopath Traveler, SMT, Fire Emblem Warriors, Splatoon 2, Travis Touchdown, Zeldas official launch date?
Completely offtopic but is your avi from Zombie Smashers?

because Nintendo and Gamestop would not make $$$ and profits on all the extra stuff?
We already knew all that before the presentation.Not to mention hd rumble, ir motion among other joycon things
The DS sold 150 million and the Wii sold 100 million.

They probably will either in this version or the inevitable revision.Due to some finantial priorities I can't get one now, but I'm hoping that the demand gets fixed by the time I'm able to get it. Also, I hope all the issues it's been presenting get fixed as well, I'm not from USA but I have to import these stuff from there and official support is not an option overseas

The DS also sold way more than the Wii.
Let's see, Nintendo will produce 16 mil. Switch until April 1st.
They sold about 2 mil. so far and will most likely will have sold ~3 mil by the end of the month globally, which is quite okay(Wii Numbers). This would mean we might see another ~10 mil sold through til the end of the year with Nintendo producing roughly 1.35 million Switch per month.
The Switch could get pretty close to WiiU numbers within less than a year on the market and will most likely surpass them by the end of their fiskal year.

I have a hard time seeing it hit the levels of Wii but I think it's going to do very well.

You cannot make up numbers like that. And the switch can't sell 3 mil by the end of march because there simply isn't that many. They've restricted themselves to manufacturing 2 million switches worldwide to be sold til the end of March. And currently they've sold 1.5 mil, not 2.

They literally can't win with some people. Wtf.
When I saw Nintendo only included one charger with the Switch I thought it was kinda an asshole move. Most people are going to plug that charger into the dock and depending on how your TV setup is it may be very inconvenient to unplug the power cable if you need to take it on the go. They really should of put 2 chargers in the box, one for taking the Switch on the go and one for the dock.
My 5V 2W charger (and power bank) work fine, although it charges slowly if I'm playing. Was a pleasant surprise.The wall charger can matter but those bricks being Samsung and USB-A means it should be fine.
However, if they are 5W bricks, which are the typical ones, they will charge the Switch slowly it's in sleeping mode or off, and may not charge it when playing, will just help it not to use the battery as fast.
How exactly is it unreasonable to except two chargers in the box when the system is a hybrid console/handheld? One for the Switch dock and one for taking the Switch on the go?
There's a pretty big gap between the 3DS and the DS btw. 3DS is 65-70 million, DS is 150 million.
Switch will have done well if it hits 3DS, there's no chance it hits DS sales in this lifetime.
You're sure of it only being 2 mil for the launch month.
It's one of those it'd be nice but I certainly wouldn't expect it. You can buy USB-c chargers reasonably cheaply also.How exactly is it unreasonable to except two chargers in the box when the system is a hybrid console/handheld? One for the Switch dock and one for taking the Switch on the go?
