One thing i have noticed is that i have set the console to charge to 90%. I only get to like 72-81%.... This is bad that i would have to do this process several times to fix this. If it wasn't this time consuming, then it would be fine. But this? Yikes
Awesome! Now i don't need to buy a lot of extra controllers when i play with friends and family. I have a lot of gamecube controllers, so it's perfect.
@PushMyGran86 No, they won't. But when is that? They could have it later that week. But probably the week after that. We will have to see. They need a window where they can get all the spotlight for them self
I think when CES is over, Nintendo will show us the Nintendo switch 2. So maybe next week if the news market is slow. Because then Nintendo will get all the headlines and don't have to squeeze in.
The price difference (if the rumor are true) will only be 50$ between the switch oled and the new switch. I can't see that happening. Why would anyone choose a 8 year old console instead of the new one? The risk is that they would need to do a bigger price cut if they stand with to many consoles. I think the margins should be good that they can do a price cut of 50. It will be a price drop on the second hand market and then more people could choose to buy it second hand instead of new.
I don't think people will be upset if they do a price cut when the console is 8 years old. They have had 8 years to buy it and they could have bought it during black Friday.
The next switch will probably sell very good if the rumours about it are true even if it's expensive. People have waited very long for this system. They have at least 100 million people with the Nintendo switch right now that might want to upgrade. They wouldn't care if it's a small price cut of the old system. They already bought it years ago and want the new one.
Nintendo knows when to do a price cut of the old system, because that will happen. But it can off course be after the release of the new system
@SNES64DD Still, i can't see that it will sell all that good when the next generation console is released if they don't do a price cut. All the other consoles you have mentioned have had price cuts on both systems and games sometime during the lifespan. Nintendo switch haven't had any price cut except their small deals during black Friday.
When the next system is out, i think they will do a price cut of some degree. An 8 year old system shouldn't have the same price as it did when it launched. If they do a price cut, then they could still sell Nintendo switch as the cheaper alternative. But just 100$ in difference will probably make people go for the next system instead if it can play all the regular Nintendo switch games. That or buy a regular Nintendo switch second hand. The Nintendo switch will be cheaper on the second hand market when the next system is released. That could harm the sale too.
If they do a price cut i can see that the switch could sell 2 years after the launch of the new system since it will be a cheaper option.
@SNES64DD The Nintendo DS came only 3-4 years after Nintendo DS and they also had a Gameboy micro. I don't say that the Nintendo switch will drop completely dead. If the new switch is hard to get, then sure, the regular switch could sell. But Nintendo have spoken about that before that they want more consoles from the start so that it is easier to get one in the beginning.
Nintendo switch will be 8 years old. No console have been on the market for so long before a successor have hit the market. They have to reduce the price sometime. And the best thing to do it is before the release of the next system. If they don't drop the price after the release of the next system, then they might sit there with a lot of consoles they have to drop the price on even more.
I would say that it would be good to reduce the price around 3 months in advance. We still don't know when they will announce the next system and release it. They could announce it after the holidays and release it in autumn next year. A 50$ price cut on all the systems would not be a huge deal really. With those old components it can't be that expensive to make. All consoles before have had a price cut somewhere in the life cycle. The Nintendo switch haven't had any. Sure, inflation have hit hard, but there should be room for a 50$ price cut to black Friday and onwards. Or at least sometime next year.
@SNES64DD The 3ds was expensive at launch and the upgrade wasn't that huge. Didn't the 3DS get a price cut when the switch came? It was at least quite cheap and you couldn't play 3DS games on the switch. With the new switch 2 (or what they will call it) it will probably have backward compatibility and only be around 100$ more. The original switch will be 8 years by then. I don't see that it can sell that good at full price like now. Not when the next generation can play the old and new games. If they can play the old games better, then it would be crazy to buy the old system just to save 100$. But if it's a bigger price gap, then it could be a good choice.
All other systems have had price cuts before and not been that old when a new generation had come. Nintendo will sell a lot more if they do price cuts of the Nintendo switch and their oldest games. I don't say they need to drop the price a lot. But just 50$ would be great so that the difference in price between the 2 generations will be bigger. 100$ price cut would be the best. They need to clear their inventories. When the new consoles come, then people will sell their old systems and the second hand market will be cheaper. Nintendo doesn't want to be stranded with a bunch of consoles and they want to sell games
If they do a price cut on the current switch they will absolutely beat the record. They could do a price cut when they do the announcement for the switch 2 in time for black Friday
No. The games become worthless if they are digital. I can't buy a game second hand, i have to buy all the games expensive on a eshop and when i have played it i can't sell it. I can't borrow games. I also need to buy more storage to have all the games. That's not free...
Well, the Wii U didn't enhanced the older Wii games. Wii games didn't have performance issues. The switch games really need improved performance. There are several games that doesn't have a steady 30 fps in the whole game. Think if they could get steady 60 fps? That would be extremely good. I would easily buy a next gen switch on day 1. I was planning on buying a Nintendo switch, but i never did. Then i saw all the issue with the stick drift and performance issues and it wasn't even cheap in second hand.
It should absolutely be backwards compatible. Many games (at least in the latest years) are struggling on the switch. To give them new life that they need is a good move. The Nintendo switch have the joy-cons which is really bad with a lot of stick drift. If the new console eliminate that or is at least a lot better, that will also be a really good move. Nintendo really need to please those who have problems with the Nintendo switch. They can always re-release all their games with included DLC.
With backwards compatibility that makes the games a little better, they can still sell the old games for a couple more years. The older games on the Nintendo switch will have a longer life. Sure, the console sales of the old Nintendo switch can have a negative effect. But the switch will be 7 years old, it will probably not sell a whole lot of systems after the release of the new generation system either way.
I think they are boosting the production so they can later on start the production of the new generation. That way they don't need to manufacture as many of the regular switch later on since they will have many left in storage. The semiconductor problems are in the past. The demand for semiconductors have decreased because of the inflation and is easier to get.
I think we can see the new generation in 2024 or early in 2025.
We won't see a new Nintendo until at least late 2024. Nintendo switch is selling really good right now and with pandemic, war and semiconductor problems they will just shoot them self in the leg by releasing a whole new generation next year. If a new console will come this or next year it will be a switch pro if they still believe it's a good idea to release it.
The new generation from Nintendo will not come until late 2023 or 2024. To release a new generation now is suicide. The semiconductor problem is huge right now and production is very limited. That problem is hopefully a lot better in 2023.
They need at least 4K and 60fps then. Less than that is not acceptable in 2023/2024.
Mario Kart 8 have already had many DLC and updates. It's a 7 years old game, 4 years if we only count the switch version. It's time for a new Mario kart before the next generation.
I think it can sell really good if they play thier cards right with the Switch pro. They don't need to rush out with a new console like they have had to do with the other generations.
They can wait 3-4 years with a whole new console since the switch is selling good. With the problems of semiconductor and production, there's no need to release a new console to early. It could still effect the switch production, but they don't need to rush anything since they for the most now days can keep up with the demands. And many already have a switch. It's worse for Sony with the playstation 5.
The switch will also still sell consoles even when a new generation have arrived. Not much, but could be at least a couple of millions to push them up to the throne.
