Was hoping for a year one limited edition. But no joy yet.
The switch had a few limited editions so I’m confused as to why switch 2 hasn’t gone down that road.
Switch limited editions over the years
Monster Hunter XX
Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Mario Red + Blue
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Fortnite
Monster Hunter Rise
Diablo III Eternal Edition
Dragon Quest XI
Disney Tsum Tsum Festival
Yeah, I thought it would go this way. Wonder also felt it lacked the special level crafting that we get with Mario 2D releases. But this bolt on just feels like a last minute attempt to boost sales on 2D Mario title that sits low down on the sales ranking.
So the switch has beaten the PlayStation 2 original number of 155m but the new PlayStation 2 number sits at 160,636,885. Do you think Nintendo will want to beat this and continue to manufacture enough consoles to do so. That’s another 6m consoles.
On a separate note it’s probably next week we will get the Q3 numbers and see the new global lifetime numbers.
What’s everyone’s switch & switch 2 sales prediction?
@Haruki_NLI Yep I get that, but normally the attach rate on year one first party titles are higher than this. Especially when there’s only 3 new first party switch 2 only titles. I understand the attach rate for MKW due to bundle but I expected more would have picked up DKB & KAR
It’s gotta be concerning for Nintendo that both air riders and DKB haven’t delivered sales. Assuming that less than 1/2 million on an install base of 4 million and one of 3 switch 2 only first party new games.
@NintendoWife Bedford UK, but no mention or artwork to confirm a Nintendo related area.
Tho the initial plans have received much backlash for not identifying a Nintendo, Hogwarts, HTTYD, areas so we are now waiting on the official release once licences have been agreed for the UK park. I think they want to take the park in a completely new direction LOTR, 007, DR WHO, Paddington etc
So it could still happen…….
A price increase on the switch 2 will certainly slow down the sales for the system and probably more so than it would on PlayStation. Maybe that’s where the new sku is heading. Either a bare bones lite or an oled with a big price jack.
The bulk of the complaints seem to be around the very liner maps which are missing the multiple branching paths, along with the handholding and the fact that every upgrade is handed to you rather than hunted out.
Also some note the similarities in theme music to Halo
I’ve not purchased this yet. Based on these complaints and will wait for a discounted or sale event.
Yes I’ve never understood why Sega has not ever put the effort in to releasing model 2 & 3 games on release or compilation. Many say it’s to do with programming code issues but then they do this. Baffled?
Will be interesting to see global numbers for year so far including quarter 3 which should be available around 2 Feb. With many territories trading down except Japan.

Don’t care about graphics, if the game is fun and playable then I’m in.
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Switch 2 Edition + Meetup In Bellabel Park
Complete waste of money.
Just another way to boost sales on a rather dull Mario 2D entry.

So much great support from Capcom.

But will take monster hunter wilds as well if that drops.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 & Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Sales Get Off To A Slow Start
Nintendo can’t be happy with MP4 numbers after forking out for a 10 year development cycle.
Re: Here's A Look At The Best-Selling Switch And Switch 2 Games So Far
Already said it in a previous post, Nintendo can’t be happy with MP4 numbers after forking out for a 10 year development cycle.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Fails To Meets Sega's Expectations
Sega’s recent pricing has been what’s put me off.
£55 launch price when everyone else is at £45 launch is a bit much.

Daughter thinks she will like this game better than animal crossing as she’s very bored with that after her 10th day.
Re: Surprise! Splatoon 3's First Update Of 2026 Has Added Health Bars
Bloody awful decision.
This will encourage more players to focus on weaken players as well as add more visual clutter

Why?

Re: Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked
What I’d really like them to do is reveal the next or another SEGA console on NSO
Saturn?
Game gear?
Dreamcast?
Re: Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked
I think the sales and backlash for MP4 might have put them off investing in a HDR of MP2 so back up plan just release 2 as NSO
Re: Pokémon Developer Game Freak To Reveal More About 'Beast Of Reincarnation' Later This Month
Maybe they have been removed from TPC for making too many poor quality games.
So instead they have started to make other games again.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
Next enjoyed wonder. Possibly the worst 2D Mario in a very long time.

How many for Q3? As I get the feeling that the Q3 sales have missed the mark massively in the USA

@NintendoWife Bedford UK, but no mention or artwork to confirm a Nintendo related area.
Tho the initial plans have received much backlash for not identifying a Nintendo, Hogwarts, HTTYD, areas so we are now waiting on the official release once licences have been agreed for the UK park. I think they want to take the park in a completely new direction LOTR, 007, DR WHO, Paddington etc
So it could still happen…….

Re: Switch 2 Predicted To Follow In PlayStation And Xbox's Footsteps This Year With "Global Price Hike"
A price increase on the switch 2 will certainly slow down the sales for the system and probably more so than it would on PlayStation.
Maybe that’s where the new sku is heading. Either a bare bones lite or an oled with a big price jack.

Still wish they added funky so my whole family can play.
