if we continue to see big games like this ignored on the switch then its clear to me nintendo still has a long ways to go. i can see a lot of publishers a bit reserved until switch proves itself in sales before they commit.

It would be stupid of Rockstar to release Red Dead Redemption 2 on a tablet. which can't handle the next gen graphics of the game.

Oh my god im literally laughing at the youtube video of all the third party support that was initially promised for the wiiu. If you guys havent seen that commercial i emplore you to do so.

On topic, i highly doubt this situation is any different from the wiiu launch with the long list of devs nintendo is claiming to make games for which we all seen was UTTER BULLSHIT in the end.

For those of you thinking a 45+ gb game will be made on a cartridge without significant drawbacks, if at all, you are seriously setting yourself up for a dissapointment.

Hope so

It's going to be tough...if the rumored 720p resolution for the handheld when away from the dock is true, coupled with the limits of 32gb onboard memory rumor, it would appear unlikely. But if the screen is 1080p, and there is the ability for added memory by way of cards, maybe. But if Rockstar is not making the pc a priority, it seems unlikely they would bother with the Switch, especially since it's a new console for next year and even if it sells really well, the numbers of units in gamers hands will still trail pretty far behind the ps4, xbox one, and pc community.

It might already be heading to the switch. We will find out whenever this weird NDA ends.

Rockstar doesn't like Nintendo.

If Nintendo was smart which they ain't they would be trying to lock down these big triple a titles to their console.

Highly doubt it. It doesn't look like switch will be running this gens 3rd party titles. Skyrim was last gen, plus the battery life would probably suck running current games

Lol, no. Not unless rockstar decides to make a watered down version that can run on the dated tech.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
