Nintendo Switch Was the Company's Biggest Selling European Hardware Launch, Ever

This is a nice sign, especially since Europe has never been Nintendo's turf.

"any other Nintendo hardware in history"... including portable consoles? I'd like to know since the Switch was supposed to replace both home and portable Nintendo consoles.

@pandarino like many people here, you're confusing the UK with Europe.

Yes good sales mean more game choice.

I think the Wii u was just a prototype for the Switch.

Definitely positive news, however the next couple of months are crucial.

@Simbabbad Well usually Nintendo refers to their portables as portables and home consoles as home consoles. I would like to see the numbers but it sounds like they mean all Nintendo hardware.

Was Wii Sports not a pack-in for mainland Europe?

I'll reiterate the point that there was an air of negativity around the UK sales figures from certain folk you'd expect to hear such negativity from

Good job !

@AcridSkull It was, but I guess anyone picking up a Switch picked up Zelda for it. Those who picked it up just for 1-2 Switch or anything else was probably like 5 people... XD

And not forgetting BOTW had 2 versions, so you have those picking it up for Wii U, Switch........and both. XD

Bully for Nintendo--let's hope it doesn't go to their head.

Say thank you to Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It's good sales numbers but the early sales are usually the hardcore. Selling it to the mainstream audience is where the challenge lies. And at €330 it's not mass market appealing. Get it down to €250 with a pack-in retail game and we'll talk.

I really hope they keep this momentum going. I also hope they keep up the advertising for the long haul.

@Simbabbad what do you mean exactly, UK surely factors in but the region has never been THAT receptive of Nintendo's flagship consoles.

Meanwhile I'm waiting for a second restock while hardly trying to avoid scalpers.

This is better news than I expected. I had high hopes for America, less so for Japan, and no real thoughts of success initially in Europe. This is a stepping stone. It will take strategy to target Europe to keep it going. I can't wait to see concrete first week numbers all around.

well they probably could've sold even more because on saturday I checked 9 stores that sell games around town and NONE had any systems left. And the only games still on shelves were 1-2-Switch and Just Dance! No Zelda or Bomberman to be found!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE and here I thought breaking all time Nintendo launch records implied it was more than just the Nintendo faithful. Silly me.

I'll say it again in this thread:

The REAL story here is that Nintendo met demand! In the last few years be it Amiibo's or NES Mini they have come up woefully short on meeting demand for product to the point that many accuse them of doing it on purpose to create some fleeting sense of popularity. This time they seem to have nailed it, shipping enough to meet demand without leaving a ton on shelves while also just few enough to sell out in some places without leaving a bunch of raging complainers.

That is hard to do and may be there greatest Switch success thus far in these early days.

I... KNEW IT!

For all the haters out there - shut the hell up. I wasn't kidding around when I said this would happen. Besides, keeping momentum will be easy as long as Nintendo keep the games coming.

@faint That would implied Nintendo is doing well and the doomsday is not coming yet, so yeah you're probably wrong

I hope this keeps up, but I'm still not convinced. This type of news came with the Wii U as well.

I'm still not buying.

@faint No it doesn't. The Wii had a crippled launch. Had they had the supply it would have blown the hinges off the doors and likely could have set records that even today would remain unbroken. The Wii sold out and was in huge demand for months. It was a phenom. It barely touched a shelf before it was gone. The Switch isn't sold out, at least not throughout Europe. If I wanted, I could easily buy one in a store.

Lets give it time. Hope the momentum carries on

@speedracer216 not sure I'd say demand was met - anyone who didn't preorder and was hoping to pick one off the shelves this weekend was out of luck, unless they're happy to donate to scalpers. I've not seen any on the shelves. I'd say demand still outweighed supply, but by a much smaller margin than usual

The greatest accomplishment was that Nintendo had enough hardware produced to (almost) meet demand. Oh, and Zelda obviously. Having one of the greatest games of all time (yes, I'm 10 hours in and I'm ready to make that statement now) surely helped.

Considering the time of year, this is a very solid start indeed. The holiday season will be important though - Ninty will need some big titles or some killer bundles to make the best of the season. Super Mario Odyssey will be a big deal of course, but hopefully we'll see some big 3rd party titles confirmed as well.

Lol... nice source... Nintendo of Europe. Its like in politics, when after the election you would read the speech given to you by whoever thinks won. Come on, in the other article you cant get the japanese sales numbers right and here we have "the biggest european hardware launch ever" .. .straight from the mouth of Nintendo ...get innnnnn.

Let me guess, one of these records was something like "The fastest selling console between 15:00 - 17:00 on this day in history" .. and another "biggest selling european hardware within the quantity of xxx amount and among people between 27 and 27.5" ...

Hush hush ... come back with some real numbers.

Edit: But at least Nintendo Europe knows how to celebrate this the proper way:

Off to a good start, now Nintendo needs to find a way to seduce the 3DS players to join the Switch, I truly hope they are considering a real Pokemon game and Capcom brings a Monster Hunter.
E3 better have a surprise.

@KirbyTheVampire Advertising? Still haven't seen an ad on TV.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE "The Switch isn't sold out"

I can assure you in the States a switch is a rare item to find. Thankfully new shipments should be coming in today, but over the weekend Switches were nowhere to be found.

Oh and I've seen 15 ads so far about the switch.

@Nintendoforlife We're not talking about the States though are we? This is Europe. Here in Ireland you can buy one no problem whatsoever.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE did you miss the every Nintendo console ever part of the article?

So. overall a pretty great launch. Congrats, Nintendo.

Now, let's see if you can properly capitalise on this initial success and not **** things up by totally squandering the Switch's great start. . . .

For me, that would mean quickly addressing any/all of the little hardware and firmware issues than many consumers have raised over the last few days, from the weak bluetooth signal on the Joy-Cons to the lack of the Virtual Console entirely (and whatever else), along with ensuring a steady release of big and exciting games in the next year or two.

Again, let's see if Nintendo actually has things properly figured out beyond first few weeks and months, and let's see how quickly and effectively it can respond to the various concerns and demands expressed by gamers and consumers already. . . .

The Switch has all the POTENTIAL in the world. . . .

Sold 105k units in France alone, which is the best launch there for Nintendo since the eighties. France is Nintendo's strongest European market I believe (Pokemon Sun/Moon has sold over 800k there alone, probably closer to 1 million now).

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1350523

Yeah, that's what happens when you sell an easy to understand console and actually advertise it.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE the states is a bigger market. It's better for it to sell out here than Ireland. You could look at it as if they sent you to many and not enough to us.

Glad i made my part in this!

@ironside1911 lol

@ironside1911
The Wii sold over 325,000 in its frst two days on Europe. It previously held the record as Nintendo's fastest selling platform on Europe.

The Switch sold more than that.

@Angelic_Lapras_King The good sales figures for Zelda are indeed helped with it being the main game on launch. I expect figures would be different if there was a choice of Zelda, Mario Kart or Splatoon, so in terms of headlines a single big game release is a good strategy for Nintendo having good numbers for Zelda.

@westman98 Don't bother, mate. He lives to be a naysayer about a console he hates on a website he hates, and won't acknowledge level-headed arguments and even hard facts demonstrating how he's wrong. Must be a nice life.

Don't feed it and maybe it will go away.

@westman98 and the point is .... ? PS4 sold 250.000 in 48hours in the UK alone, but you dont see me bragging about it.

Im waiting on the final breakdown of numbers, Nintendo also yesterday "linked the record blabla" to beating Mario64 on the N64... amazing example.

@ricklongo Yep, too bad theres no tree-hugging minigame on the 1-2-Demo launch title, eh?

I'll be pleased be the sales landmarks when we have some numbers to look at. Even if Nintendo is flighty about it, their quarterly report is coming up.

Signs are looking mostly positive in regions that have given us numbers - up on Wii U across the board.

@ironside1911
Your implication is that, because no "hard numbers" were provided, thus Nintendo of Europe is lying and the Switch is not their fastest selling console??

Excellent

@SLIGEACH_EIRE plenty of ads in the UK

@SLIGEACH_EIRE

And what kind of business are you in?

I'm pretty sure Nintendo know what they are doing with Switch.
It feels a quality piece of hardware to me and I consider it worth the money.

The sad thing is, when Switch sales inevitably fall behind Wii sales, people on this forum (and many others) will claim that the Switch is "another Wii U 2.0" because its sales aren't keeping in pace/exceeding the sales of one of the fastest selling consoles ever.

@westman98 My "implication" as you call it, is rather "common sense", not to jump on any "official company statement" regarding anything ..if that would be anything to take serious the stockmarket would have already disappeared like the Wii U
As I wrote, especially the "records" breakdown of it is always entertaining ... Im not in Reggies camp celebrating the magnificent victory over Mario64.
You continue this inferiority complex act, but either way, you know, I know and the rest agrees mostly, this is not about beating the PS4 cause it wont happen. I dont care about any of that. I care about a good Nintendo product - your parents would agree with me when they see your scratched screen.

well the next weeks are critical. I am afraid we will witness a major decline cause other than botw there's no strong titles for it (1-2 switch is too expensive for what it offers, should be a free demo).

@ironside1911
"Common sense" is to assume all corporations are lying whenever they claim a record is being broken without providing hard numbers?? Okay, cool.

BTW I haven't bought the Switch, and likely won't until the 2nd half of the year. I'm not going to buy the Switch in its current state, with the lack of software and featrues, despite Zelda being a masterpiece.

That doesn't mean I will deny reality and claim that all positive news is fake news. Nor does it mean I will shove the Switch into the dock and "accidentally" scratch the screen when I do buy the console.

'And all this in March – traditionally a quiet time for the games industry.'

slow claps

I don't know why they include this line like it makes them look big and clever. All it does is make it plainly obvious how stupid Nintendo are for not releasing in the festive period.

I remember people getting stupid about how Final Fantasy XIII was the fastest selling Final Fantasy to date. Meanwhile, most talk of the game was negative and history hasn't been kind to FF13. So forgive me if I am not jumping in excitement here. Also, I remember Wii U being sold out everywere after launch too, how'd that work out?

Oh and releasing in March is a good time in the US, it's tax season.

This just edges me a little closer towards believing the Nintendo Switch will be a strong success. From what I have played of BOTW, it certainly deserves the praise.

How can Zelda BoTW outsell Wii Sports that was a pack in title at launch.

@westman98 ""Common sense" is to assume all corporations are lying whenever they claim a record is being broken without providing hard numbers?? Okay, cool."

You might want to print that, put it in some time-capsule, set it for like.. hmm.. i would guess something like 15 years should do. Wait, take it out and read it, trust me - you will thank me for this joke.

Yes, thats a good attitude for it and I think thats one of many ways to start telling Nintendo its not the 80s anymore and force them to take their clients serious. For a long time their business approach to clients appeared to be that of parents and kids where the final word in on parents side. Zelda wont go away, its a timeless classic, from 8-bit up to now - Im pretty sure (for that I have no evidence) by feeling that Nintendo will start releasing a 2nd significantly updated run of the switch and to ensure they will, its good to tell them honestly when they mess up things as bad as they did.
Same goes for their games, no more jokes like 1-2-Switch or this Bomberman Beta - especially when the hardware is overpriced. When they claim innovation inside overpriced hardware then I expect them to do more than porting mobile games, soda shaker emulation and holding on to 2-3 big 1st party releases a year (why a 300$ console then?).
They shouldnt celebrate themselves like muppets with made-up weirdly connected records that they cant even memorize before giving a company speech ...they didnt sell any outstanding numbers. This is a show...their shares gained around 5%. Thats the graph from 1st to now.

When you see that blue dot at the end moving (albeit) slowly down - wait a bit longer and the switches will be very cheap.

@Pj1 If the Switch outsold the Wii and Zelda has nearly a 100% attach rate, that would do it.

@ironside1911
Oh no, Nintendo's stock price will inevitably go down.

Guess it's time to pack things up. Looks like the Switch had a good 5 day run

@JohnG

Asking the real questions, lol

Great job Nintendo! So happy to see that Iwata-denka's swan song is off to a great start! it is an amazing piece of tech.

North America and Europe have seen the best Nintendo launch ever with the Switch. In Japan, it beat Wii U launch day sales but just barely. I'm thinking Nintendo needs to realize that, at least with home console gaming, their biggest support doesn't come from Japan. So maybe they should shutter the Japanese My Nintendo exclusive goodies and send them over to us in North America and Europe. Clearly we appreciate the company more!

@Equinox I actually never considered single countries, that's interesting

@SLIGEACH_EIRE

I don't know if you know this but Ireland is not all of Europe 😉 Anyways, it's been reported today that Switch has broken records in France and I would wager that it's broken records in Germany as well.

That's cool you can find a Switch in Ireland, but Ireland has like 500 people, so it's a bit silly to act like it represents Europe as a whole, especially outside of GB.

@westman98 Not bad, so we are back at the inferiority complex. Anyway, im off for a drink and hmm .. perhaps, maybe .. who knows... could it be? Perhaps you dont actually do all this on purpose, perhaps there is another reason.

http://goo.gl/fgLQp7

Tom Cruise didnt want any treatment, he prefers running wild ignoring it all and proclaiming the kingdom of Nin..Scientology.

W O W .

Good, I hope the momentum goes well. We'll see what happens.

I've always had a softspot for nintendo and to see it succeed (admittedly in the opening week) is always good to hear. A world without nintendo would certainly be a less interesting one. I have the ps3 under my telly, now along with my switch (nes and megadrive still set up in my other room), and do enjoy the choice of playing software from both systems to keep a little variety. Im yet to upgrade to ps4 as i see it as an upgrade, not a new innovation. This is where nintendo stands out. The feeling of opening something brand new and unknown, i dont get with other products. I love the new console and zelda is quickly becomming a top 2 game for me. People who say there's no AAA titles forget that nintendo titles are AAA and platforms such as ps, pc and xbox would give quite a lot to access this ip. Thank you nintendo, you have given me variety and entertainment for 35 years now, and long may it continue. Lets see if the next metroid can match these zelda reviews.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE @ironside1911 I'll defend Nintendo over one thing before I start.....I HAVE seen tons of ads on UK TV..... LOADS. In this respect they have stepped up imo. For now.
Everything else is still unproven launch hype and has no numerically based proof of success. It's no different to kids bickering on the playground without cold hard numbers. That gave number at this point of the Wii u launch....And also said it did very well, selling out in many places🤔

My main concern, one which is strangely missing from this news feed is the internet going viral with switch problem after problem......The sales are a cross to bear if high and the hardware faulty in large numbers. If you Google switch right now it will list unhappy customers for the most part!! I'm genuinely put off the hardware due to numerous problems and without game's to play. How long will people keep rushing to buy an unreliable console??

Looks like all the Switch doubters have been having a rough couple of days 😂😂^^^^^^^

(Joy-Con Boyz!!!!!!)

@ULTRA-64 There hasn't been a single Switch ad shown on Irish TV stations.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Ireland isn't on its own mate, u can still buy a switch here in the UK no problem

@ironside1911
Well, if me not denying reality means I'm dyslexic, then I'll take it

@SLIGEACH_EIRE don't worry, I'm not saying you're wrong. Just that UK wise, they are making SOME effort at least to advertise. They cant go from useless to perfect overnight but in this respect, from my own experience.(Hull- Yorkshire) there are efforts being made. And this is from someone who isn't even won over by the switch yet🤔

@ULTRA-64 And to be fair I have heard of Switch ads on UK TV. Just haven't seen any myself and I have all the UK channels.

Hope they put that revenue to good use

Keep 'em coming, naysayers and haters.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I wouldn't want to see a price drop too soon after launch, otherwise Nintendo will have to compensate those of us that purchased on release or shortly after. They did this with the Nintendo 3DS and those of us whom were agrieved by the price drop so soon after launch were offered the Nintendo Ambassador program with 10 free virtual console games.
I can't see Nintendo repeating this for Switch.

I'm still amazed how many of you search for hairs to split so you can downplay the success of the launch, claim it's temporary success or argue other launches were limited.

My god. If I hated a company has much as so many of you appear to, I wouldn't hang out on this site. Find things you like and be positive. There's plenty of other gaming companies out there! Enjoy life, be positive!

Or create your own website called Nintendo Death and have at it.

They must be very close to hitting 1m Switch sold.

@Simbabbad Kimishima said it's not to replace both and said they will release a 3DS successor, that is a dedicated handheld, in the future.

@ULTRA-64 I took your challenge to google "Nintendo Switch" on www.google.co.uk and the results do not return a list of unhappy complaints. In fact only one result - BBC - reporting the dead pixel issue. Yes there are plenty of stupid YouTube post on "how to destroy your Switch" with some stupid tool or silly method not relating to normal use. Like will Nintendo Switch screen stand up to a blow torch!
Other than these the rest of the first few pages are giving review results that are positive and coverage of reasons to buy the console rather than not buy one.
Based on these I'd think the momentum to buy one is more positive than you made out in your post.

I think Nintendo will have the ability to keep momentum. Why? Well because of the release schedule. Mario Kart comes in April which is basically a new game for most Switch users. Then you have ARMS (summer), Splatoon (summer) and Fire Emblem Warrios which is in August right? Then they have still Xenoblade 2 which most likely will get release during the fall. Lastly Mario Odyssey in December and Swicth first year is actually amazing.

It's a decent start, but it's the long term sales that matters.

@Jessica286

Yep all the naysayers who keep bringing up continued momentum forget about Mario Kart, Arms, Sonic Mania, and Splatoon all releasing in the next couple of months. Nintendo needs to keep hitting it hard with marketing and they're golden.

@ironside1911

You are truly a barrel of pathetic laughs. You insist Nintendo is lying via its press release, which would of course be grounds for a share holder lawsuit, as companIes who claim something has happened, when is hasn't, is illegal. That would be illegally driving up share price, which would send the executives to jail if said proclamations are false.

Given your lack of knowledge on this, I suggest you read up on shareholder rights in the US and actually start investing, rather than blowing hot air like you actually know something. You are totally out of your league here. The SEC said a few years ago that tweets and other modern forms of modern and social communication are official company statements, so if they're lying as you are so certain of, someone is getting jailed and we have a huge scandal. But that isn't happening, because you are flat wrong with your imagined premise. Trolling ain't investing, chief!

Then you make claims 1 2 Switch sucks, which is an opinion. This 40 year old investor and private equity banker brought it to a kids party this weekend and every single person loved 1 2 Switch. No one cared about Zelda, as these are not hard core gamers. All were highly impressed. Many indicated they want a switch. Time Magazine, where non gamers would see a review, gave 1 2 Switch a 5/5.

Next, you make some junior high analysis on their stock price, which to anyone who has any experience investing is a true joke. Since February 15, Nintendo stock is up nearly 12% and as of right now on the NYSE, it's up 3.2%, just today. Over the past 12 months, Nintendo stock is up 57.39%, versus 32.7% for SNE and 21.7% for MSFT. Funny how your cherry picked chart is miniaturized to leave the past 12 months out. How convenient! And how amature.

Nintendo is worth $27 billion in US market capitalization, SNE $39 billion. Nintendo is worth 70% of Sony, yet they don't make movies, publish music, make electronics beyond games and still, have outperformed Sony over the past 12 months and are worth 70% of Sony, despite having way less business lines to generate cash flow.

You fancy yourself a jr. investor, we get it. And some on here might buy off on your nonsense, but professionally speaking, you come off as a total uneducated louse. And the more you post, the worse you get. I'm not long or short on Nintendo, as a Japanese based stock, they're simply not very shareholder friendly, but not for the reasons you state. But I have owned and made solid profits of TTWO, ATVI and even the late THQI.

I've read your nonsense and will continue to chuckle at your posts. The Switchs future is still undecided and could go either way, it's way too early to tell, but the launch was an unmitigated success. The launch did break Nintendo records and saying they're lying, without any proof beyond corporations lie and I'm such a wise dude THAT I KNOW, is a farce only a true moron would buy off on. Get serious with your nonsense.

Good luck in life, son. Don't come looking for a reply, I got money to make at my investment job! Enjoy your night out drinking, I'm sure your brain cells won't miss you.

Cheers and happy investing.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE

Irelands population is 4.6 million. Los Angeles County alone, that's one single county, in one single state, is 10 million. There is zero reason for Nintendo to waste advertising money on such a small market like Ireland.

I live in LA and advertising is non stop. Every single day on TV, I see tons of ads. Nintendo is simply maximizing its marketing budget where it will lead to bigger profits.

@Agent721 which makes sense.

Nintendo's biggest challenge is keeping the sales going, Nintendo should do well this Xmas especially with new games like Mario Odyssey and other games coming. I can see Nintendo porting other Wii U games over as well, it would be a wise move considering a lot of people missed out on Wii U games. It'll also give them games another sales boost, while keeping games releasing on the Switch. Its a very good time to be a gamer at the moment, in a healthy industry.

@capitalism I know right. And who knows what awaits at E3....Pokemon? MH? Hmmm!!

@Jessica286

If they announce Pokemon Stars at E3 for Switch Nintendo will be the market leader again. Plain and simple.

@Agent721 "You are truly a barrel of pathetic laughs. You insist Nintendo is lying via its press release, which would of course be grounds for a share holder lawsuit, as companIes who claim something has happened, when is hasn't, is illegal."

Really good Professor economics, but when you actually pass first semester a whole different world opens to you:

https://qz.com/643234/cambridge-professor-on-how-to-stop-being-so-easily-manipulated-by-misleading-statistics/

Whats up? Nintendo feelings hurt again so you quickly tried to google as much nonsense together? If you are so smart, why not stick to academic sources?

Oh yes, the white knight fixes the stats, lets see:

"The SEC said a few years ago that tweets and other modern forms of modern and social communication are official company statements"

Ah really, oh sorry, perhaps all these companies here didnt get the memo that you wrote for the SEC and remind me again where it says how the stats are delivered? You mean like that? Took me 3 seconds:
http://tickergrail.blogspot.com.es/2010/05/moodys-ceo-dumped-shares-day-secs-wells.html

You perhaps learned from selling pans on the midnight tv spot but not ANYWHERE close to the SEC. Im surprised you didnt spell them out to boost your "skills"

"Then you make claims 1 2 Switch sucks, which is an opinion. This 40 year old investor and private equity banker"

Yea, right and thats yours. Great argument, "man", Im sure you and your shift buddies can can shake controllers before adding the fries, why you spare me "your opinion" ... show me pictures of your fake party, for all i care all above disqualified you already for being "40 year old investor". You probably invested heavily in Nintendo after the Wii U launch, then your act would make sense.

"Since February 15, Nintendo stock is up nearly 12% and as of right now on the NYSE, it's up 3.2%, just today. Over the past 12 months, Nintendo stock is up 57.39%, versus 32.7% for SNE and 21.7% for MSFT. Funny how your cherry picked chart is miniaturized to leave the past 12 months out. How convenient!

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-02/nintendo-s-switch-goes-on-sale-targeting-new-video-gaming-niche

What is bloomberg for you? I guess you and your highschool buddies dont know that? Oh right they say 4.1 , i said 5 .. im sorry. Yes, please come with your freaking nonsense google stats from 12 months when from the start this is about the launch of the switch (invested in Wii U launch, eh?)

Nice try, im sure after you comedy act you sat down, called your mum and dad and they had a look at your fantastic salad of self-indulgence. Next time, make a proper research and try again but at least THINK .. look the sources.. LEARN.

Then someday, you might sell your Nintendo shares with only a 20% loss, Mr. investbanker

Btw. You include any Nintendo toys in the upcoming kids menu?

This one you can show your buddies, greetings from me:

Kimishima will have a job for life after he announces this quarters profit sheets!

@AlexSora89

Oh wait... I LOVE THIS THING!!!

New hardware sells, Nintendo shocked.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Apparently they are on Tiny Pop. 😁

People care too much. This is Nintendo.

Nintendo don't care about hardware or quality assurance checks on their products, Nintendo don't even care about sales as they want to make people happy.

They do care about making great games.

Just enjoy the games.

@Agent721
It's amazing how far some fanboys will go.

Being skeptical about the Switch's post launch and long term success is appropriate. Outright denying reality as fake because said reality doesn't align with your own views is the approach of the deluded.

@LiberatedAnimal it won't happen now.

@westman98

Isn't it though? Some people. I will go back to ignoring him the same way I ignore the crazy bum screaming it's the end of the world, on the street!

You start arguing with him and he'll come back with more drivel as well!

@Spanjard
Wait, were you a hater or something?

Any chance nintendo life can update the comments where next to our names it shows if you own the switch or not. It makes it easier not to bother reading the haters... is there an option to ignore/blank out certain individuals too? Every single article on switch has the same people repeating the same negative comments and it is getting boring now and taking over.

@dazzleshell you should try communicating with Nintendo straight...will sort ur negative feelings...cant write much..bartime...anyway, as you can see, mobile sucks for communication...so i suggest you read about the nintendo switch dock recall ...when i wake up sober and shiney, u spin that into something amazing great (dont forget early adopters..back then at least free games..here what?

Edit: and how.about we make 2 groups..u will have a mario star next to ur name so w know when u post, its like reggies alts ..lol

@westman98 i told you but u just are scared telling ur parents..so if you dont like tom cruise anticts...save yourself..tell ur parents, your relatives..heck...even reggie..tell him. You know what..but we shouldnt discuss medical terms on a nintendo forum

@Agent721
1 2 Switch is 5 from 5 ? Wow...
Good to hear that casual gamers really love 1 2 Switch idea.

@Agent721 if you start like this, just keep in mind, the only thing youre going to, apart suddenly ignoring, is flipping burgers cause ur line manager told u.
Is funny with no substance? Read your own stuff mr. "Jokemaker" (quick, 1000 platinum points off my account for the first one who guesses the movie..when the donation button will work)

@liveswired
Innovation sells.

@Anti-Matter

I play all games and I enjoy 1 2 Switch with friends and with drinks. They're quick and silly games. And I can then easily turn around and play BF1 on my PS4. A good game is a good game, no matter what.

I enjoy all gaming, and I'm surprised more people don't. But it's all opinion in the end, no one is right or wrong...we all enjoy different forms of entertainment. Hell, I thought No Man's Sky was cool, but clearly I'm in the minority on that one!

@Agent721
Reading his comments makes me wish I actually was dyslexic like how he laughably claims.

@ironside1911. My dock is fine. Unlike some i know how to place the switch back in it without scratching it... amazing what common sense can do. Also no dead pixels, or joycons disconnecting... lucky me i guess...

Do you own a Switch? I'm guessing not...

@westman98
I think we need a few bottles under our belt to get where he's at.

@dazzleshell what you actually mean by "my dock is fine"? You think the complaints soley on here lead to a recall?

Youre such a genius, why dont u tell all your schoolyard friends the same so they get a switch and will "switch" in no time ...

As.much as you love Nintendo, you are killing it. You and the logic of "your friends"

Edit: sorry this comes across as an attack as i think u geniuly support mario but no way i will stay silent watching fanboys keeping nintendo alive
If you like nintendo, use your passion to make them stop acting like 1939 german videogame authorities

Edit2: heads up...mr.mario is a great visual logic thinker, an amazing game developer...for the same.reason he will leave..sorry step down (no ..no sepuko or how u call it)...

The switch still has chances....continue this positive.vibe..it will die...cause its not positive. Its the same.mistake....leave to.those who have been there. And no...dont buy the share for profit.

@ironside1911 Schoolyard friends? I finished school 20 years ago...

Thank you and Good night.

@dazzleshell still a long way to prove that...sweet dreams

Unless someone did and I missed it while scrolling I very disappointed nobody posted...
DOOMED!

Great news the switch is a good Nintendo machine, all considered

@Agent721 @capitalism
Switch is doing fantastic in Ireland and I've seen a couple of TV adds here also. Irish people watch UK TV so I don't know what he is talking about. Nintendo would be mental to place an add on RTE (Ireland national station). I don't think anyone even looks at it, unless you want to know what's going on in Northern Ireland or the latest BS from the government.

"it's also the biggest-selling Nintendo launch title ever in Europe, even outselling Wii Sports in first weekend sales"

Hopefully not to many casuals who bought a Switch and this game, since this game is HARD!! They will be utterly shocked. Lol!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I saw 2 of them during one episode of the walking dead last Sunday.

@dazzleshell I will second you on that. The switch I have has no issues. I have no scratches from docking it and it works great as a hand held.

Why does the Switch have to sell out in your country or town to be a success. The Xbox S and PS4 never sold out in the shops in my town and that would mean they didn't sell out in my country when they launched. I didn't hear anything negative about that.
