It's Fall And The Nintendo Switch Is Still Selling Out In Japan
- Thread starter fluffydelusions
- Start date
I saw one on a shelf at Target the other day, guess the honeymoon period is finally over.
System is flying off the shelves currently. Won't be much stock left to move over after BF.
Is this frowned upon?
I honestly found it suitable lol.
It's nice, but I mean, it's kinda crazy.
I wonder how much more the Switch will have sold than the Wii U LTD after its first year? It WILL outsell it in a year, at this rate.
Usually used in a different context of course (the original context of the pic).
Oh shit... Nintendo... welp, they had a good run... time to go third party
I mean, it's already on track to be at half of PS4's LTD in Japan in under a year from it's launch. Maybe even by the end of this calendar year. I'd assume it's definitely going to be considered.
I'm not much of a South Park guy so I don't even know what the original context is but I remember seeing the pic floating around and liking it lol.
I guess I'm safe. I don't think I would ever post anything worthy of a ban anyway :)
I always find it fascinating that half the titles of games and ads and such are still in English in Japan. Why is that?
I don't know man, I say we wait until the rapture and then will be able to judge how it sells based on the people who stay.
On a more serious note, Switch is doing really well everywhere, Nintendo's communication has truly been on point and the games are great. Can't wait what they have in store for next year.
Yeah, I think the demand is a bit less at this point, someone will probably post the graphs shortly, but the supply is much worse leading to a very similar situation.
They are ramping up like crazy for FY2018 though. 25-30 million.
This community laughed at me when I claimed it would outsell PS4 in its lifetime. Prepare to eat crow everyone.
Do you really think there was ever a chance of a new DS line handheld AND Switch coexisting? Nintendo also said NDS would not replace the Gameboy line.
I distinctly remember what this community, under a different name, had to say about Switch's chances in Japan back in January.
Several threads about how it would tank in Japan due to being too big, anecdotal evidence like "I teach in Japan and my students laugh at it because too big" and a bunch of 2ch comments being peddled as convincing proof of the system's poor reception at home.
a desirable handheld device that plays the latest Splatoon game
it was destined to blow up in Japan
Switch outselling PS4 lifetime in Japan was an inevitability before Switch was even revealed

It is the most perfect system ever made for RPGs.
That is what I am hoping for as well.
And then I hope it leads to a Japan gaming renaissance.
Do people still line up in crazy long lines in Japan for a Switch? Was a pretty cool sight in pictures.
Not the respective makers of two of the biggest franchises on the 3DS, at least.
. . .Yokai is why?
More JRPGs are coming to Switch. Relax.
We alrrady got a good number confirmed.
Level 5 and Capcom really have made the worst possible choices the past few generations. Just compounded by their slow reaction to Switch.
Many major companies such as Bandai Namco and Capcom said they are speeding up their development units on Switch because of its success. For example, XenoVerse 2 sold 400.000 units in a couple of months on Switch, way beyond expectations.
3DS wasn't selling out in Japan before the price cut.
I mean apart from SE and Koei Tecmo they all underestimated it, most of them have admitted as much.
Yup. Their handling of Switch is a symptom of their woes, not the cause.
I was actually referring to Pokemon Company for the other one, LOL. They're forced by obligation to make games for the Switch, but they were massively sour on it prior to it taking off like a rocket.
I -almost- made it about Capcom, though. Very very almost.
. . .Is Capcom getting to be a soup of shredded chum in a barrel at this point?
