he is going by the pre-order hype and positive reaction. the guy flip flops because he already said it should have been $250 and that it didn't have much third party but now they have good third party support? all he is doing is trending reaction

GtR35olution3407d ago

Nintendo switch will be lucky to reach 20million sales. The switch will be 300 dollars when ps4 pro is 300 dollars. It will barely have third party support which will make it fail

GamingIVfun3407d ago

Damn, Feck, now it's going to fail. lol

Apex133407d ago

Nintendo historically have only sold between 15-35 million in consoles bar the wii and the DS range so what you're saying is stupid as you're trying to make a negative point without knowing the facts.

Erik73573407d ago (Edited 3407d ago )

No, he just isn't going by n4g's warped mindset. This is the only site that doubts it. Because half the people on here only have a Playstation, well of course they are gonna justify their purchase and tell everyone they made the best purchase and bash anything thats not a ps4 because they want to feel like their judgment is "superior".

I keep on telling people third party will be less of a problem because of indie gaming as well. Much less emphasis but still existent but less than before for big triple AAA titles because of Indie gaming. Let me tell you, Nintendo is defiantly happy about this. Some people religiously worship Fifa and 2k, Nintendo has those franchises for the Switch.

Also, prepared to be surprised by Ubisoft's strong support for Switch. Beyond evil exclusive for 2018/2019 will be a big deal.

I see Pokemon also heavily pushing this system. Pokemon, Meteoroid, Beyond Evil 2 will be defiantly some of the heavy hitters for 2018.

DashArrivals3407d ago

Are you kidding me? Everyone doubts. NeoGaf highly doubts it. You are one really delusional fanboy. Nintendo fanboys are really really bad.

Your views are so warped and jaded that you see through Nintendo coloured glasses. You are incapable of anything else. You probably praised the Wii-U years ago as well.

Apex133407d ago

What he or anyone says it should cost don't mean ish if he or they aren't the company that built and are distributing the thing.

chrisx3407d ago

If patcher says this then prepare for the worst, the jinxer returns

PhoenixUp3407d ago

I doubt it could be more successful than the 3DS

Moonman3407d ago (Edited 3407d ago )

Pac Man has spoken right for once:

poppinslops3407d ago (Edited 3407d ago )

He's usually right about the blatantly obvious stuff, but the majority of his 'years from now' predictions have been dead wrong... it's gotten to the point that a lot of people just believe the opposite of whatever he says.

Predicting the fate of Nintendo's products isn't impossible, but so much of what they do is new and without precedent... the Wii was a revolution, but it's 'successor' was a flop, Pokémon Go was a phenomenon, but Mario Run was a 'failure' - it's always a crapshoot with the big N!

MetroidFREAK213407d ago

We shall see. I'm very optimistic about the Switch, but only time will tell

demonicale3407d ago

I was until i noticed the price and lack of actual good games.

MetroidFREAK213407d ago

Price is fine with me. Right where I was expecting it. "The lack of games" is just at launch I personally believe. The launch line up is sparse, but I'm sure it will pick up later in the year/next year. Don't forget E3 is coming, so we shall see what Nintendo has in store for their new device. Like I said, I'm optimistic, but also not blindly defending Nintendo... They have made some several mistakes with this console. Like the voice chat and party system being on an app, the launch line up being kinda bad, (besides Zelda) and the extra accessories being a little too expensive. I want every company to have success, and Nintendo is no different.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio27d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing27d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit27d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing27d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.

Eonjay27d ago

They got freaking BBLs twerking on the top of trucks for the gram, the freaking Flordia joker, and dude running down the stree in their undies and you are worried about it being 'too PC'? The internet has runied gamers. It doesn't matter how non-PC they make the game, you will all listen to the grifters telling you not to believe your lying eyes lol.

gigoran827d ago

"Rockstar Games’ co-founder and former VP of Development Jamie King said he envisions GTA 6 as a game that’s “maybe not quite as edgy or quite as funny” as its satirical predecessors."

oh yeah, totally internet grifters spreading rumors...

blacktiger27d ago

That's part of the plan, they destroyed you but they need to destroy the shareholders? Only 1 shre holder is the true elite that don't care

1nsomniac28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.

Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.

My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.

DaReapa27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!

VaNdAl27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿

Storm2327d ago

I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.
