Bloomberg: Nintendo Cuts Switch 2 Output by Over 30% on Weak US Sales

[Patrick Kane]

shyt is Game Boy Advance all over again.

There’s just no reason to get a Switch 2 with a very light upgrade to graphics/frame rates and basically no games that make it worth it. Especially when the system itself is mad expensive and the games got a price increase as well. They ain’t offer a better product to make it worth it for consumers so it has to flop and Nintendo needs to go back to the drawing board. My switch 1 still rockin perfectly fine.

exclusives matter, but only Mario and Zelda. sounds like a robust ecosystem

They keep the goal post on shuffle.

How is that a goalpost? Y’all nikkas are aggressively retarded

Hopefully no one thought Mario kart and donkey Kong (launch titles) alone was gonna carry the switch 2 in year 2

Mario and Zelda are nintendos biggest sellers so yeah they need more big titles to continue momentum

What equivalent (or even close to) exclusive IP did the PlayStation 5 have year one or year two to Donkey Kong or Mario.

Aren’t you the one that’s constantly saying exclusives only matter on Nintendo? You want me to waste 2 minutes pulling receipts?

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Just because I can smell a pivot a mile away…

Like I said I think the only exclusives that ever really really mattered are nintendo ones, and that's usually because of quality and because the games and systems always varied so much that people wanted to get them to play there favorite characters and experience the systems.

say it again, nintendo is a brand and sells a brand. They are the only system that Exclusives actually matter on.

So now saying Nintendo needs a Mario and Zelda game is blasphemy lol

Nothing has changed on my end, exclusive matter on Nintendo.


But them cutting output is less to with people not be interested in the switch and more about the economy and state of the industry.





Now back to my question, what exclusive games were so strong more so than Donkey Kong and Mario on PS5 year 1 and 2 that it carried sales of the system like it did?

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

You'll buy more multiplats on any system then you will 1st party exclusives with MAYBE the exception of nintendo.

*looks at nintendo*

yeah no one cares about exclusives

I've said time and time again Nintendo is in a different league and people do by their systems for their exclusives.

Neither Xbox nor PlayStation have the IP powerhouse that Nintendo has so it doesn't even make sense to lump them all together.

now it’s not about exclusives

 

[GambinoMakeItWork]

Nintendo don't count

The system has more true exclusives than the PS5 in the same amount of time my guy...

Mario, donkey, Metroid and Pokemon.

You always trying to make a joke but end up looking dumb at the end lol.

Switch 1 relative to the same timeframe as the Switch 2 has been out had:
BOTW, MK8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Mario Oddyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, ARMS.


Switch 2 so far within the same time: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong... and a Hyrule Warriors game. Most of the games for Switch 2 are enhanced Switch 1 games.

Switch 1 was the first hybrid console to come out and the two ports(MK8 and BOTW) was on their worst selling platform that made them speed rush development of a new console. That + economy plus no major games announced yet for later down the pipeline and it's no wonder it's not running as big as the Switch 1 was. By year 1 Nintendo already dropped a teaser to Smash Ultimate. Unless Nintendo announces a major Mario game or Smash Bros by June this year, the Switch 2 will be mid and not enticing people in droves to purchase it.

Any "What about PS5 tho!? " comparisons is moot. PS5 is the defacto platform for most major games so EVERYONE will be buying it for different reasons e.g. for exclusives announced+third party games. It'd be like saying people only buy iPhone for one reason ignoring that millions buy it for different reasons same as the millions that buy PS5 for different reason.

Nobody is running out to buy a Switch 2 to play fukking Cyberpunk my guy. Some sales here and there cool but those games sell majority on PS5.

Mario and Zelda don’t matter

Sony stans dumb.

The bolded is on Switch 1. Pokemon what? Z-A is on Switch 1 too. Pokopia is not even a mainline pokemon game either.

Metroid is on switch 1 I forgot.

Pokopia is still an exclusive Pokemon game for a top 5 IP in the world.


Not really sure how much more people can ask for, especially when PlayStation and Xbox players were more than happy with just PS5 and XSX versions of cross generation games.
