Nintendo’s Game Plan to Level Up Switch Production
Nintendo plans to make 25 million to 30 million Switch game consoles next year

You need to be a Wall Street Journal subscriber in order to read the article but NintendoEverything detail what it contains. Including that some analysts again think sales will surpass Wii. Also, that 25-30 million production next year depends on Christmas sales, Kimishima will make the decision.

@rallydefault Agreed, if the proper effort and support was given, it could be a real WoW competitor by now, but instead, it was relegated to the depths of obscurity until shut-down. That said, there are people that are interested in trying to keep it alive, and you can still play it, albeit that I remember most of the PvE not working too well (but then PvE was never it's strong suit )

@JaxonH Did the imuto people contact you and ask you to plug their product? Cos they did me, but I ignored it.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

If they would sell 25-30 mil units next year, it would mean the switch would surpass the Xbox one in its second year.

Depending of course how good xbox one x sells and if you count it as the same system.

Lol what... I like sharing deals. This is a good find for Switch owners.

I can't speak to the product quality because I haven't bought one but I'm feeling tempted just because it will take up less space in the case.

@electrolite77 Agreed I've been playing FIFA since the original FIFA Soccer on Megadrive arrived back in 93. I've put more hours into this series than any other so like you, I know what I'm talking about unlike some of those reviewers .If the game disappointed I'd be on here saying so but it doesn't, far from it. It plays a very good game of football for sure. Compared to FIFA 13 on Wii U it's like night and day. It feels modern, the games flow brilliantly, it looks fantastic on the handheld and I've no doubt it will be one of my most played games this gen.

40 hours I've put in so far. I just play Online Seasons and Career which has advanced a lot since I last played that mode. Just started my second season.

It gets a solid 8/10 from me. Great game.

@JaxonH I was half joking, but also genuine. I know you've shared loads of other product links too, but this imuto one was quite elaborate, and as I say, the Amazon.co.uk imuto seller contacted me to test the the PD power bank, so as I ignored the approach I figure he might have tried someone else here too.

@OorWullie I don't actually find much difference in the gameplay between FIFA 18 and FIFA 13 on Wii U. There's a bit more physics involved in player collisions and stuff I think, but I always found FIFA 13 played very well and part of me wonders how much difference I'm getting out of my £35 Switch version when I was quite happy with my Wii U. Portability is the deciding factor for me. Plus, I've only just started trying out FUT, but I can see how it gives a bit more incentive to play offline games by having them contribute to your cash etc.

tl;dr - Switch FIFA 18 is better presented, and is the better game (I'd give it 9/10 if it let you save replays and use friend codes for matchmaking), but I will defend the gameplay in FIFA 13 to my dying day.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did. It's not like the XBOne has been doing particularly well, its only saving grace on the "console wars" side of things is that it did better than the Wii U. There's definitely space for someone to be moving 20mill+ units/year and at this rate it only makes sense for it to be the Switch.

@Spoony_Tech No he reads what I write. He only claims to ignore me but he then tries to inadvertently reply by responding to other people. In fairness, I gloss over most of his wishy-washy comments as well. He's like Nintendo's pet.

Oh for real? I thought you were just kidding. Maybe you should test it! Get a free power bank out of the deal too.

@JaxonH I got a free one the first time, but this time he only offered a 10% off voucher.

The free one meets my needs, don't really need PD, plus I don't actually get much use out of it

Video capture coming to MHXX next week
Finally! My biggest complaint with MH3U was no screenshot support. Not only does this game have screenshot support (instant at that) I can finally record crazy awesome moves.

Now, if only I can pull off that flying mantis tail spin to cut off Rathian's tail in midair once again (doubt it, that's a once per generation maneuver)

Those were before the ps2 and wii boom on the other hand, the market was smaller "back in the day".

To be fair, absolute numbers are not really a good measurement it is better to look at market share.

Market share can be spun any way you want though. It's not as simple as comparing the three latest consoles. You can't ignore the impact on the market from PCs, mobile phones, portables, retro hardware - these all take a bite out of the market, and in the Genesis/N64 days, the mobile phone and retro bites would have been much smaller than they are now.

Totally agree. I think it not being on the same engine as other versions gave wannabes critics a nice easy handle to hang their moans off. If they'd have played the last few FIFA's they'd have known that Frostbite adds very little but slightly better collision physics and graphical frippery, and does nothing at all to improve A.I. On FIFA 17 for example, the speed imbalance was all wrong. Against a CPU played it was too easy to run past players. The Switch game actually deals with that better.

In terms of the actual game of football, in both single and two-player, it's spot on. It's also light years ahead of the Wii U version (which was good but now left behind in Nintendo terms) or the Vita version (the last good portable football game).

You have to consider there was like 2 billion less people in the world back then.

@kobashi100 Wow, so now it really is just EA whom are unsure about the future support. Though if they are going to stick loot boxes and micro transactions in their games then I really don't care.
