Console buyers beware - The Nintendo Switch launch-day issues

The Nintendo Switch launched about 24 hours ago, but already there are some really serious launch-day issues with the console. So here's my (Justin Easler, TGG) take onthe matter.

TGG_overlord3363d ago

Indeed...And people keep on giving us updates on new issues with the console -_-

Simon_the_sorcerer3362d ago

You should check the Reddit thread for Switch. The problems just keep on stacking up as we speak.

indysurfn3362d ago

I love my SWITCH I have not had a problem so far....BUT. I'm glad the SWITCH comes with a full year warranty.

Simon_the_sorcerer3362d ago

It's a launch nightmare story imo.

Crazy! Hopefully they get all this fixed soon! It's insane that they overlooked the charging issues.

TGG_overlord3362d ago

So do I. As I find no pleasure in seeing other people suffer.

XanderZane3361d ago

Yeah no kidding. From what I've read it's not widespread. More like thousands. Still that fact that there are so many different issues makes us believe that the system was fully tested for a long period of time. Just one of the several reason I decided to wait a year or more because deciding whether to get one or not.

when it comes to Nintendo prepare for articles like this

(Switch friend code SW-4384-8283-7514 add me, and if you plan on getting nba 2k18 for Switch make sure you definitely add me)

Simon_the_sorcerer3362d ago

What's up with the friend code comment? I see it everywhere :P (is it a joke about Nintendo being shitty at giving support for their products and services?).

TGG_overlord3362d ago

I think that it's a joke about Nintendo being really bad at customer support...

Gemmol3362d ago

I put my friend code there so anyone else with a Switch can add me, this way I can have more friends to play with online inside and outside the house

G20WLY3362d ago

By the time you've typed that in you're out of gaming time - sheesh!!

Simon_the_sorcerer3362d ago

I'm not touching the Switch until Nintendo gets their act together.

masterfox3362d ago

Don't worry people Nintendo has enough money to keep creating and killing gaming consoles/handhelds for at least a while more, not wanting to sound negative but the Switch is destined to fail even faster than the Wii U sorry, is great that you love your brand to extreme magical levels but the reality is only one, and that reality is in the world we live in.

TGG_overlord3362d ago (Edited 3362d ago )

I don't know if you saw it, but this one guy on Twitter bragged about the fact that he bought TWO Switch consoles just because he could make up his mind about which color he should go with...The key word is "corporate who**".

Bennibop3362d ago

Mine has been shocking so far, it's a shame as when all is well it' can work well.

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

dveio20d 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.

Jingsing20d 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.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

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

S2Killinit20d ago

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

Jingsing20d 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.

Tanktopmaster9220d 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
