Naw not bankrupt, but i did hope if the wiiu flopped it would make nintendo give us a traditional console like the nes, snes, n64, and gamecube before it without gimmicks. Instead nintendo did what nintendo does... A system not focused on power and more focused on 1st party quality with that nintendo twist (gimmick) that started with the wii. The nintendo of yesteryear didnt need some gimmick to sell consoles. If the switch flops it will be too late for them to fall in line with a traditional...
I agree but if nintendo fans dont support third partys it will not bode well for the console.
On topic:
Hitting the refresh button comming off a failed or faulty console does not = most successful console ever. Ask microsoft.
It would be difficult to fail as hard as the wiiu... But it is nintendo. Third partys being successful will determine the fate of nintendo... Not zelda, not mario, not mario kart pikmin ssb orr anyother 1st party game. Mario Kart sold a kagillion (8 million) did that save the wiiu??
Agreed
So, if the price is 250 that means it cost nintendo 200 or less to manufactor as WE all know nintendo do not sell systems at a loss... Wiiu anyone?
If this price is true the rumors of it having near 1 tf of power and 4gb of ram are most likely true too. I just hope the rumor of it being 60% less powerful on the go is a bust.
Third partys NEED to run as well as other 8th gen consoles... Need! Come on nintendo...
Although i disagree with ms fanboy state of mind AND nintendo fanboy state of mind... Im willing to bet the 3rd partys will run amazing on the scorpio and sell better than the switch esp where the switchs graphics will be sub par to the og xb1. 1st partys are fine but third partys sell better and are more frequent accounting for more than 90% of games released on a platform... Unless youre the wiiu of course.
1. Switch needs a nsn (nintendo switch network) like psn.
2. It needs nintendo gamers to support third partys
3. It needs zelda on launch
4. It needs mic and blutooth support.
5. And finally it needs to be cheaper than 299.99 with a game. Pref mario.
But what if the games play really shitty on the go? Its rumored to be less powerful than a wiiu on the go.
Doesnt mean much if switch gamers dont support the third partys. Esp if most wiiu owners got a ps4 or xb1 when they couldnt play third partys on a wiiu. So here you have a prior nintendo fan with a ps4... Do you guys think they are going to pay full price for an inferior cartridge switch version? Doubtful. Esp when its rumored to be sub par of a wiiu on the go.
It isnt a question of IF the switch will get third partys, im sure it will. Its a question of IF third partys are ...
I give 2 fucks how long it is. It could be 3 min like the last one. As long as all the answers we want are clarified... Im very doubtful it will be an hour long
1. Is it region locked?
2. Touch screen, accelerometers, ect?
3. Battery life?
4. Power, is it really less than a wiiu on the go?
5. Third partys?
6. Cost?
7. Games on launch day?
8. Is zelda there launch orr canceled on wiiu?
9. Will there be c...
Nintendo has a lot to prove. And even if they did everything right, their success isnt gonna come overnight. Many nintendo fans left them for more capable machines. You think those ppl are going to buy 3rd parties on a inferior console?
Except now nintendo is stealing a share button from sony... Who sais nintendo leads inevation... Not this gen or next.
On topic:
Wvidentally sony is doing just fine not letting their games go to pc with their 6.8 million consoles sold over the holidays.
Ill give it to ms, at least they are keeping the fanboys dreams alive.
90 million downloads but how many forked for 10$ for the game? Thats what i thought. Whos really suprised here. Nintendo is known for underwhelming software and charging an arm and a leg for it.
What i wonder is what percentage out of that 3% wish they never paid the 10 dollars.
Didnt nintendo say they dont pay for third party exclusives? I really dont see the devs of good and evil passing up on the 80+ million consoles on other systems potential sales
How can nintendo be considered "in a different market" when they literally have their machine on a shelf right to to sony and ms's. I know nintendo has stated they arent trying to compete with ms and sony but that sir is a boldfaced lie. Who are they competeing with exactly at walmart, gamestop, ect? The wiiu? That would def be a better feat to tackle than other 8th gen consoles. Speaking of which, this is an 9th gen nintendo platform and i promise sonys prior gen will still fai...
Like ive said before... Its not a success getting every third party known to man on the switch. Its a success when nintendo fans buy them enough warrant more games.
The wiiu needed to be a success because when it wasnt it left many other gamers investing in other systems to play their 1st and 3rd partys games. If third partys run better on other systems there will be absolutely no reason for non nintendo fans to buy a switch to play third partys. Thats nintendos biggest pr...
Kinnect is dead and anyone that thinks othwise is a fool. You guys want a 600$ scorpio with kinnect?? It boggles me some xbox fans still cant admit kinnect was a massive failure. I do applaud ms for trying something different to differentiate themselves but it didnt work. Just like the gamepad and ps move.
How much profit can they be making off the wiiu if hardly anyone is buying them? Do you think game stores will let the stagnant console just sit there forever? The day the switch comes out is the day the wiiu deserves a hefty pricedrop PERIOD. If people arent buying the wiiu they def wont buy it with a switch for around the same price.

Except the ps4 and xb1 werent comming off the heals of a failed console (wiiu). The switch has much doubt and wo...
