Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold 92.87 Million Units, And It's Catching The Wii

JSG87

It is a shame that they're struggling with the chip shortage. Switch by all accounts has been amazing for Nintendo. I'm not sure if as some have said here that Switch will beat Wii during this Quarter. We'll have to wait and see but Nintendo could honestly keep Switch going for another 2/3 years and then move on. The amount of money they've made from this console must be a rediculous amount. Add to that Mario kart 8 Deluxe becoming the best selling in the Mario kart series and being a port, they're rolling in their money. This is also the reason they recovered from the Wii U after that spectacular bomb. They have the cash to survive these things.

Re: Poll: Do You Play Your Switch More In Docked Or Handheld Mode?

JSG87

I barely use mine handheld. I think when I first got my Switch at that point I used to take it to work, play it on the couch in handheld mode but I feel like that novelty wore off and now handheld is reserved for games that need a d-pad like Tetris.

I traded my standard switch for a ps4 in early 2019 and traded that for a Switch Lite when Animal Crossing came out and not having an option to play on TV really annoyed me so I traded that in again towards the newer model Switch and I barely play that handheld.

Re: Last Month's Top 10 Switch Games Were All Published By Nintendo (US)

JSG87

It's not surprising though. Out of the whole top 20 only two other games aside from Nintendo titles are on Switch, those being PGA Tour and Mortal Kombat 11. I suspect that if Nintendo were to release Digital sales Data for their games to NPD, the top 10 NPD would look very similar to Nintendo's top 10.

Re: Talking Point: What's Next For Nintendo After Switch?

The Switch is perfect imo.

The easiest and best thing they could do is keep releasing a new Switch SKU around the time a new generation launches to keep up somewhat in parity with the Stronger consoles.

This is Nintendo though and I doubt it will
Happen.

Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development

@PrincessBowsette Power isn't everything, you are correct but at one point they were the industry leader and always on the forefront of bringing the best possible graphics to go with their games. Those consoles eventually started selling less every generation but the power was not the reason that things started to fall apart. Nintendo consistently made mistakes that harmed their Consoles selling potential and drive 3rd parties away due to development costs, (cartridge for N64, mini discs for gamecube) and this led them to the Wii which arguable became more than a gaming machine and more of a lifestyle companion.

The Switch with its at least comparable power has proven that Nintendo can compete even while doing their own thing but I think they should try and push the graphical boundaries again unless the industry really pushes for streaming and even then they'll still need a powerful machine to be able to compete.

What Nintendo should do is go all in on power for the next generation. One Last Time at least. Do It all properly this time. Power, no gimmicks, proper controller, online service & Discs if they are still around. After the Switch they are in a prime position to at least try it and if it doesn't work then just go back to doing stuff like they are now.

Re: Wall Street Analyst Warns Of Slowing Nintendo Switch Sales

JSG87

@Mogster The Switch doesn't need saving imo. We've seen for instance that The Switch is still doing far better in its second year than Wii U was in its first year. There is nothing to worry about yet and even then I don't see anything changing soon. The Switch still has a lot going for it so I wouldn't be concerned.

Re: Nintendo UK Is Asking For As Much As £180 To Repair Cracked Switch Consoles

JSG87

@Nunya my Switch console has a chip out of it in the same spot and a crack from the chip to the front where the screen meets the plastic. I haven't done anything for it to have happened so it's not that unbelievable. It also has the cracks along the vents.

My back plate cracked so I replaced it. I thought I had cracked it myself but it seems that this surely was because of the issue others are experiencing.
