@Suketoudara Because people doesn’t trust Nintendo when it comes to online and digital. See how many year it took for them to implement a proper account system or see how they still use the idiotic friends code.
Microsoft and Valve has far better track record regarding digital and online than Nintendo has which is why people prefer to buy digital there.
When it comes to digital Nintendo is the one I trust the least. They simply don’t have good track record when it comes to online considering how many year it took them to implement modern account system.
“ As to Switch 2 key-card-those other consoles already have key-card already”
Actually that’s not correct. Installing the game from the disc and downloading the game from a server is two different things so no these consoles doesn’t have Game Key Cards.
France is one of smallest market and it’s not hard to sell more than PS5 when PS5 released during pandemic and it was extremely hard to find one because lack of stocks. I wouldn’t call that a victory.
“ Nintendo are at the top of their game right now. ”
Yes and that explains the arrogant behaviour from them lately.
That being said we’ll see what happens when honeymoon phase is over. What was successful in the past doesn’t mean automatically successful in the future

Re: Capcom Is Recording Switch 2 Game-Key Card Purchases As "Digital Sales"
Never had Nintendo removing physical games and leave consumers with less choice on bingo card. I was expecting Sony or Microsoft to pull this stuff.
It’s kinda funny lol

Have you seen Nintendo’s track record when it comes to online? It doesn’t fill people with confidence.

Re: Capcom Is Recording Switch 2 Game-Key Card Purchases As "Digital Sales"
Frankly Nintendo should’ve gone full digital because this really is no different than digital code in a box except for resell part.
Like I said Nintendo is the worst of big three when it comes to anti consumer practices. Can’t wait for next nonsense from Nintendo.

Yes it’s not a huge victory when you could barely find Series or PS5 because pandemic.
And yes France is small market.

France is one of smallest market and it’s not hard to sell more than PS5 when PS5 released during pandemic and it was extremely hard to find one because lack of stocks. I wouldn’t call that a victory.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Game Card Cases
With Game Card Keys around it is pointless to buy card cases.
Re: Switch 2 Is Nintendo's Biggest UK Console Launch Of All Time
Decent start. You would’ve expect Switch 2 to beat Series and PS5 the way Nintendo fanbase hyped up the machine lol
Guess internet has no effect on the real world.

Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 Is Already Breaking Sales Records In France
We’ll see what happens when honeymoon launch is over. Interesting to see what happens then.

@Khwarezm89
Like i said, Street Fighter get extra boost because lack of titles at launch.
Re: UK Charts: Nintendo Switch 2 Annihilates The Competition In Its Debut Week
@Khwarezm89
More like there’s almost nothing to play on launch so titles like Street Fighter get extra boost because of that.

Re: Yes, Call Of Duty Is Still On The Way To Nintendo Hardware

Re: UK Charts: Nintendo Switch 2 Annihilates The Competition In Its Debut Week

It’s a launch title. It helps that there’s not many games to play at launch.
Re: Publishers Are "Thanking" Nintendo For Game-Key Cards On Switch 2
@CutchuSlow None because both options suck.
Re: No Man's Sky Multiplayer Is Currently Broken On Switch 2, Cross-Saves Also Causing Issues

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Scores Switch 2 Release Window
This will definitely be a Game Card Key. That being said, compared to original Remake trilogy has been a let downz
Re: Publishers Are "Thanking" Nintendo For Game-Key Cards On Switch 2
@CutchuSlow so is code in a box and Game Card key.

Re: Switch 2 eShop "Top-Selling" Games At Launch Revealed
Lack of stability for some of Nintendo’s online games like Smash Bros which was a lag fest.
