Yeah but this article is way out there. And to make an assumption or speculate that because they've moved production from china that means new switch models is beyond speculation..that's just lying.
Fake news....stop it with the fake news. Literally said 3 months ago that a mini and a pro would come out this summer even though Nintendo specifically stated they have no intention of making a new model yet. And the obvious reason for Nintendo moving switch production out of china is because of the tariffs and nothing else. The reports of three new models being made as a result of moving production is just false. No...there will not be a new switch model until Nintendo announced it so stop the FAKE NEWS!
Literally have had people dog me out because I said Nintendo had no plans on making a new switch or switch lite. That would be just stupid. Once again I've been proven right. So stop it with the fake reports please.
Where is this WSJ article they speak of? I cant find it anywhere. And call me whatever you want bit I just dont see a switch Pro happening. Maybe in like the next 3 to 5 years but no time soon. Super skeptical about that.
@electrolite77 Goes to show you know nothing about economics. Parents buying there kids gifts is a factor. Seriously, everyone in this thread has no idea what they're talking about. This is just a bunch of Smash super fans hyping numbers. It's simple people. These numbers as presented aren't even correct. Smash didn't sell over 1mil in Japan alone. The number comes from sales in Europe and Japan combined. Stop hyping numbers people and Nintendo life is wrong publishing this article as such. Check actual figures posted by Nintendo its self and third party dealers. Not even close. Once again its popular but its NO RDR2. RDR2 is a milestone regardless of popularity in another country. Everyone acknowledges that. Smash will be forgotten by most in 6 months just like Splatoon. And like I said most sales in NA will come from parents buying it for there kid/s. Same thing goes for VG systems. Mostly purchased by adults for children. I do not see people lining up for Smash because it's a must have and its super popular. No. Most who will own and play this will be kids probably under the age of 16 who've most likely haven't even played a Smash game until this one. This will also correlate with current switch sales in America because the biggest group of purchasers are you guessed it PARENTS. More kids own a switch than adults and that's just facts.
@MaSSiVeRiCaN So because you saw a bunch of people playing a switch at a airport you assume the games popularity correlates with that. No. I went to the movies to go see Rampage. There were a ton of people there to see it. It still isn't a very popular movie. B list at best. Seriously people check the real figures from the outlets/shops that actually sold the games. All numbers ,with the exception of privately owned franchise shops, line up with holiday/gift sales. Like I said maybe popular but it's no RDR2. And as I said before NA sales will be high but nowhere near 5-6 million as some dummy implied. I can also bet that majority of switch sales in NA are parents buying there kids a switch and the latest newest game to go with it only seems right. Oh I'm a 3rd year Economist who studies Pacific/Oceanic economic conditions and currently writing a paper on Japans aging population and its effects on there economy. 62% of japans population is over the age of 55.
There's not enough data here to make these assumptions that SSBU is that popular. All this says is that holiday sales are up not that smash is super popular. I'm willing to bet that the majority of those sales were bundles. And those bundles are most likely gifts. Highly doubt it sold this well because its popular. NA sales will be way lower. It's a good game but it's no RDR2. Hell if RDR2 was sold as a bundle as well its sales would've most likely been double what they are now.
