Re: Soapbox: The Nintendo World Championships Is Tired, And So Am I

@Damo It actually says 'World Championship Tournaments', but that's because there were two events with 'World Championships' in their branding, unlike last year when there was just the one. Notice how the news article on their site (https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/e3-2019-tournaments/) doesn't refer to the event as the 'Nintendo World Championships' once.

Re: Rumour: Switch References In Call Of Duty Site Code Start Chins A-Waggin'

Yeah, this isn't proof of it coming to the Switch. As you literally point out in the article, that media-query there is to do with how the website renders when viewed on Switch (why they're doing that in the first place, who knows). The JavaScript file even mentions 3DS which doesn't have a single CoD title.

Could Modern Warfare be coming to the Switch? Possibly, given that this game will have been in development long enough to see how successful Switch sales are to make that decision. But this isn't proof.

@DABYX There's a screw in the middle of the top panel next to the vent which could be putting pressure on those vent 'fins'.

@Damo You technically did assume: a) that those 1000 people actually own a Switch (considering it's easy enough to create an account here to vote and manipulate the poll), and b) that people aren't skewing the poll (people with issues pretending they don't have any, and vice versa). There's also the issue of batch numbers - are all of these chipped units from the same batch, similar batches?

Re: Switch Stock Shortages Cost Nintendo First Place In May's NPD Hardware Charts

@Phin68 "I can look at companies like Microsoft and Sony and see they don't encounter the same stocking problems Nintendo goes through."
Right, so Sony lied when they said they were having stock issues with PSVR and the PS4 Pro?

"We have been sold out [of the PSVR] ever since launch and it's only within the last month or so that it's started to come into supply and we're feverishly getting the factory cranked up as fast as we can [...] And as with VR, [PS4 Pro sales] have been restricted by our ability to supply the market."

"Compare the launches of the PS4 to the Wii U, and see which system had the early shortages (it was the Wii U)."
Er, the PS4 did have stock shortages.
