I always find this funny. One demo of a game announced years ago, and a single new announcement on 3DS that no one cares about (sadly) and people say they "won." Hard for me to ever take that sentiment seriously. 2017 sure, but 2016 the same year we got NEW reveals for RE7, God of War, Spiderman, Gravity Rush 2, and a date for TLG? BotW is one of my top five favorite games ever and none of the others would come close, but come on now lol.
Nintendo hasn't put out any guidance to how many subscriptions they plan to sell. They could sell a million and it could be a "success" to them. It would be a complete fucking disaster for investors though. Considering how much money Sony and Microsoft make from online their expectations are higher than whatever this forum is trying to lowball. Yes some people are happy with NES games but it's certainly not going to light the world on fire and the stock price reflects that.
It's...not even available yet? How did they botch it? Millions of people will be on board once it actually releases.
They somehow managed to make something which costs $20 a year look like bad value for money.
We're in a stock price thread which is why my post was specifically relating to their stock price and nothing else. My point is only that I don't believe investors are excited for their online service as currently revealed as being a huge cash cow like it is for other companies.
I'll be curious to see what the actual numbers look like for their online service. I know Playstation 4 has nearly 50% signed up with their service. I wonder if the cheap entry fee and retro games will be enough for Nintendo to get as many on board.
We're in a stock price thread. Investors trade based off how well they think products and services will do BEFORE they are released in addition to the obvious when products and services do better or worse than expectations.
I disagree that it looks like bad value compared to Sony and MS where they charge 60 for online play. We all have our personal opinions but lets see how the market actually responds before we declare Nintendo's online service a failure.
What? It's already, like, a steal and there's just NES games. They'll add even more
I couldn't even get threw the 1st island trials or because everytime I try to train my Pokemon I completely knock out lol. The last time I've played a Pokemon from beginning to completion was Gen 4. But anyways im Pokemon hungry and hopefully Let's Go doesn't knock me out ^_^
Sorry, I meant to say people calling it a spinoff because it's like Pokemon Go
It's too logical for Nintendo. They never go for the most obvious moves which actually make sense.
At this point lets just make it an OT
Like Nintendo sales, any time the stock goes up there will be concern trolls telling us how it's actually another sign that Nintendo Is Doomed(tm)
It wasn't and you completely know it, but I won't keep pressing because you won't acknowledge it and no one wins anything from this exchange, plus it gets boring.
I dont blame you for leaving it alone. Its unprovable thats why i pointed out.
Your going to have to explain the logic of your statement. Here I thought it was due the PS4 being the more desirable product. It having the more comprehensive library and it a constant flow of software releases.
Gamefreak said as much. They used the word if when regarding sales to continue the Lets Go Series, but they know damn well its going to sell like gangbusters. Right now its a matter of when they will be full on in two series mode and how they are going to balance it without lowering the hardcore sales to single digit million territory.
nah, it was just price cut in November and Riding the GoW wave this past 4 months while Switch been running close behind on literally nothing
Would be a really cool deal if that had happened. Though I wonder how expensive they would have made the sub if this happened. Probably would be at least 60 at best haha.
Sorry I meant "online service plans" as in games that can make people pay for the subscription day 1. Nintendo already has some big online games that will help get people to pay for the service. But it would be nice to see at least one big Nintendo game on the thing day 1 that is not a bunch of Nes games that have online elements that can get people to adopt the sub in mass.
My hope with the synergy is that the families that still play Pokémon Go weekly/daily will see the game and pick up a Switch with the game so that they can continue to further their enjoyment of the Go brand with their kids/spouse.
We were talking about this year but I humour you. It was $199 for Black Friday. I didn't know $299 was a pricecut silly me. You admit yourself Switches software line up hasn't been great. That isn't Sony problem. These are bestselling games this year in the US.
