Huh? Without even counting 3rd parties the year one first party lineup has been/is pretty stacked.

I think the issue is quality rather than the quantity.
That's odd, because I recently made a thread about the lacking first-party lineup for this year, but the fanboys tried to say otherwise, claiming it was solid and that there was no need to reveal stronger titles for the system.

I would imagine a couple of Directs are not too far away... But they have Mario Kart World, which is Nintendo's most consistent selling franchise.
 
Sony fanboys like you are the worst, not many Nintendo fans feel the need to shit post on Sony sales threads. There is simply no need lol.
They are the most insecure fanboys I've ever seen. Deep down they resent this PlayStation generation and just taking it out on whoever they can.

Sony fanboys still haven't recovered from the trauma of getting their ass owned by Nintendo during the PS3/PSP era. Ever since then, they've been getting bitch slapped every single generation
 
How is the article wrong, exactly?

They talk about this holiday season and they were outsold by a console in its SIXTH holiday season while being in their first....
 
Everytime I visit a Nintendo thread my IQ drops sharply - always the same absolutely insufferable 4-5 zealots calling others fanboys and "haters" 😁

It's just comedic at this point

Imagine living inside every thread replying to EVERY "infidel" and having the gall to call others "fanboys" and insecure, the lack of self awareness and projection is always off the charts.

Just gonna hide every Nintendo thread from now on 'cause fuck me if all this bootlicking and stupidity makes my blood pressure go up.

Literally a fandom comprised of the most insufferable man children in existence still clinging to 30 year old kiddie franchises.

XBOX, PCMR and PS fans have nothing on this fanbase which is literally worse and even more insufferable and toxic than the Star Wars "community", you can feel every complex and insecurity dripping from every post, it's literally the cry/rage meme in written form...

It's absolutely ridiculous at this point

1000%. The lack of self-awareness is astounding.

And lets be honest here.... you can't afford your IQ to drop any further lol.

Funny take. wii was dedicated to soccers moms and not even core gamers. sales fell of a cliff and its no one even cared about its successor cause of how much of fad it was. 360 really was the one that hurt the ps3 that generation. sony homes consoles have won every generation in reality, except maybe switch 1 vs ps5, as wiiu was ps4 generation. They should have called the Wii u the Wii who.

I have some very bad news for you.

Wii outsold the PS3. DS outsold the PSP. 3DS outsold the Vita, and made Sony quit the portable market. Switch outsold the PS4 and was outselling the PS5. NS2 will probably keep that, as well.
Accept the fact you lost.

wii was the end of nintendo home consoles sadly. it doesn't matter if out sold a ps3 cause the reason was not the wii it was the 360. while the wii had great sales its successor proved it was a fad no one even cared that it existed, it did not build a brand, it set up a failure like kinect did for xbox one.

Are you purposely typing stupid things?.... But please do not ever stop.

It's genuinely impressive how the lowest-IQ voices in here (yes, you included) still manage to crack jokes with a straight face. At this point you're not even participants, you're NPCs. You, the Lord Ocidax guy, Midway AGCN, DeeRock71 Robofoo and a couple of others show the same pattern every time: zero self-awareness, zero wit, and a level of posting intelligence that never rises above knee-jerk tribalism.

Your only consistent contribution is crying on behalf of a multi-billion-dollar company, throwing around accusations and feeding a permanent persecution complex.
Fragile egos, constant indignation and nothing of substance to add.
Four or five people, endlessly loud, endlessly defensive and functionally useless to any real discussion.

This forum would lose absolutely nothing of value without this noise.

You're literally digital, IQ dropping, digital cancer

I was kidding......... don't bite.

But seriously if you can't or refuse to see the trolling from some Sony fanboys on each and every Nintendo sales. and software performance thread..... Then I am not sure what to tell you. Pretty much every Sony sales thread on here is a echo chamber of congratulations. And I never see a Nintendo fan trying to spoil this or suggest the figures are incorrect etc etc...

The Sony fanboys are the worst, it's not even debatable at this point lol...

We all know who the biggest dickhead fanboys are and its not the pc, nintendo or xbox ones.

Just crossed "Multi billion dollar company" of my bingo card.

Now I just need "Defending mediocrity" and "Nintendo fans will buy anything Nintendo make" ....... for the full house lol.
 
I can believe the absolute defense of such mediocrity in here. You guys will buy anything they make. I mean....come on...grow up. Excuse me, I have to go check out my new Samus Amiibos.

Replace Nintendo with Sony and you have the same thing. It's the same handful of users constantly doing the same thing. Honestly, you could probably remove a dozen users on GAF and it would substantially reduce posting activity because of all the shitposts, bitching, and console warrior crap. You can't even make a point because the response is a laughing emoji. This kind of low IQ posting is on all sides. I've learned to mostly ignore it.

The thing is you are too in love with a gaming company. Anything is trolling to you even if it's backed ny facts. Its obvious Nintendo had a slow down in sales for the holidays in western countries yet you take offense to that

Switch 2 has sold 17mn units and Nintendo is sticking to their 19mn unit projection for the fiscal year. Obviously they are doomed as always.

This is some another level fanboy shit right here. Good lord. Keep it up man. You'll last a long time on this forum.

Sure, because you can call me a fanboy but have no problem with the other side, despite them having the same level of diehard fanboyism, right? Seriously, who are you trying to fool? Try to disguise your bias better.

The biggest clowns always get called out. Also, funny you don't deny your foolishness.

Sure. Do you think there's any hope for a serious discussion with the fanboys throwing a tantrum in this thread? I'll just dance to the rhythm of the beat.
I just think you need to disguise your bias better, it's not hard to unravel it.
 
The Switch 2 isn't worth it yet in my opinion. Mind you I have one. The upgrades offered at the moment isn't worth getting the machine yet in my opinion. It needs more switch 2 only games. The price doesn't help either, especially since they don't have a gamepass or ps collection yet. I love my system but it's honestly been dead weight except to play and replay the octopath and hades games.

I don't think it's doomed over here though. It's just stumbling to find it's place and worth at the moment.
 
I can't speak for anyone else but the Canadian prices are silly for what it is.

My kid is more than happy with her switch 1 and shitty iPad apps

My bad man.... continue on. I should have known better. Enjoy yourself.

I don't take offence in the slightest. just find it sad anyone would want a console company to fail. They are slightly down selling a more expensive product in tough economic conditions, And are still way ahead of the original after the same time on market... You guys do need some help.

How is the article wrong, exactly?

They talk about this holiday season and they were outsold by a console in its SIXTH holiday season while being in their first....
The article reports it as November / December and ignores the absolutely massive October (which in Nintendo's eyes is a part of the same holiday quarter).

The article (and posters in this thread) take this specific data to paint a grim picture as if Switch 2 massively failed compared to Switch's first holiday season, but when you factor in the entire quarter (like Nintendo does when they report to investors) the sales were virtually the same between the two.

They will never ever see it. Like I said these guys are the worst, there is no issue with somebody liking a certain console brand, and being happy if it does well. But then to hate on all the other consoles is just retarded.

It's just their deranged hobby. Subzero still laughs at all my posts but I don't engage with his dumbass. Bro, I see your stupidity, it just ain't worth my time.
