>Part 2 of the answer
At the time of our third-quarter earnings announcement, we explained that while the domestic holiday season was strong, overseas sales—particularly in Europe and the Americas—were slightly weaker than anticipated. However, following the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch 2 Edition in January and the free update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, usage of both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 increased. Furthermore, the Nintendo Switch 2 title Pokemon Pokopia, released in March, saw sales growth not only in Japan but also overseas, contributing to hardware sales. Given these circumstances, we believe the Nintendo Switch 2 is in a strong position to enter its second year.
For the current fiscal year, taking into account the current sales momentum and the sales levels of our previous dedicated game consoles in their second year, we have set our initial sales forecast at 16.5 million units. As explained in our financial results presentation materials, the adoption rate of the Nintendo Switch 2 remains high compared to that of the Nintendo Switch, and we currently have no particular concerns regarding this momentum.
Since Pokemon Pokopia also contributed to hardware sales, we have reaffirmed that having software that makes customers want to play is a key factor in driving the transition to the Nintendo Switch 2. We continue to prepare numerous new titles for the Nintendo Switch 2, and we will carefully communicate the appeal of each one so that customers can transition to the Nintendo Switch 2 at their own pace. Through this approach, we will strive to increase the Nintendo Switch 2 installed base over the medium to long term and work to boost software sales and the number of annual active users.

>We understand that the company has factored in a total of approximately 100 billion yen into its earnings forecast for the current fiscal year to account for the impact on costs resulting from soaring prices of components—particularly memory—and tariff measures. Is it correct to understand that the impact of the tariff measures is reflected as an absolute amount, rather than as the difference from the previous fiscal year? Additionally, how was the projected increase in memory prices factored into the forecast?

As you are aware, the figures for tariffs reflect absolute amounts rather than the difference from the impact in the previous period.
As we have explained previously, the rise in component prices—such as memory—did not have a significant impact on hardware profitability in the previous period. However, we expect these price increases to continue, and we believe they will gradually begin to put pressure on hardware profitability starting from this period. Although we have not provided a detailed calculation of the impact, based on current sales plans and procurement conditions, we have estimated the impact of rising component prices—primarily for memory—and, combined with the tariff measures, expect the impact on costs to be approximately 100 billion yen.

>Could you explain the reasoning behind the decision to adjust the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware one year after its launch? Also, why do the price adjustments differ between Japan, the U.S., and Europe?

This price adjustment for the hardware is not due to any specific factor; rather, it was decided based on our assessment that recent changes in various market conditions will have a medium- to long-term impact on the global viability of our dedicated game console business.
Regarding the Nintendo Switch 2, our fundamental approach to the dedicated game console business—first promoting hardware adoption and then selling software—remains unchanged. If the cost increases were temporary and expected to subside relatively quickly, we could have chosen to focus on corporate efforts such as improving production efficiency, aiming to expand the installed base while maintaining hardware prices.
However, given that recent market conditions—including soaring component prices (particularly for memory), exchange rate fluctuations, and oil price trends—are expected to persist over the medium to long term, we concluded that maintaining our current pricing would significantly worsen the profitability of our hardware, which could ultimately impact our business operations over the medium to long term. To ensure the sustainable growth of our dedicated game console business, it is necessary to maintain a sound profit structure for the business as a whole. Therefore, although it was a difficult decision, we have decided to pass on a portion of the costs to the retail price.
The extent of the price changes varies by region because the degree of impact from the various market environment changes underlying this adjustment differs from region to region.

>Given the significant rise in prices, what impact do you anticipate the price adjustment for the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware will have on sales momentum? Additionally, if component prices continue to rise, is there a possibility of further price adjustments?

While we have not specifically discussed the impact this price change will have on Nintendo Switch 2 sales, we recognize that it will raise the bar to some extent for those considering a purchase.
However, the most important factor in the dedicated gaming console business is providing engaging gameplay that offers value beyond the price tag. We plan to continue releasing a variety of titles from both our company and software developers, and we aim to expand the user base by showcasing these titles alongside new experiences unique to the Nintendo Switch 2.
While it remains unclear how component prices will evolve in the future, we recognize that we may be affected not only this year but also next year. Looking beyond that, we intend to prepare ourselves so that we can respond flexibly to whatever situation may arise.

>In the history of the dedicated gaming console business, there has been a tendency for adoption to expand when companies release a concentrated lineup of their own major titles at the launch of a new hardware platform. Do you intend to accelerate the adoption of the Nintendo Switch 2 in the same way, using such titles? Given that many customers are still actively playing on the Nintendo Switch, will you release major titles on a different timeline than in the past?

In the medium to long term, we believe it is essential to continuously release compelling titles in order to encourage customers to choose our hardware. In fact, looking back at the history of our dedicated game console business, hardware sales have consistently surged upon the release of major titles expected to drive hardware sales. We expect this trend to continue in the future.
Most recently, the release of Pokemon Pokopia in March boosted Nintendo Switch 2 hardware sales, allowing us to enter the current fiscal period under favorable conditions. Additionally, the Nintendo Switch software title Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, released early in the current fiscal period, has been enjoyed by many people worldwide, and approximately 40% of customers playing this title own a Nintendo Switch 2. We believe the release of these new titles is contributing to increased activity on both hardware platforms.
While our earnings forecast for the current fiscal year incorporates the impact of changes in the market environment, we are entering this period with strong current sales momentum. We will continue to strive to maintain this sales momentum through the release of various titles.

>With the 30th anniversary of the release of Pokémon Red and Green, sales of Pokémon-related titles have been strong. Could you tell us about the current status of this IP globally and its future plans? During last year’s holiday season, sales of hardware bundled with Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A for Nintendo Switch 2 Edition increased, and we also view sales of Pokemon Pokopia, released in March, as strong. We believe this momentum will carry over to the upcoming title Pokémon Winds & Waves, scheduled for release in 2027.

Regarding “Pokémon” titles, “Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen,” released in February as a download-only title, has sold over 4 million copies worldwide in the six weeks since its launch. Additionally, “Pokemon Pokopia” released in March, has sold over 4 million copies worldwide in the five weeks since its launch.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Pokémon Red and Green. We recognize that Pokémon is not limited to video games but is gaining popularity worldwide across various domains, including card games and mobile apps, and that the IP is in a very strong position globally.
We are grateful that Pokemon Pokopia was released as a Nintendo Switch 2 title to coincide with this 30th anniversary and is driving hardware sales, and we intend to continue selling it for a long time as a new staple title for the Nintendo Switch 2. Additionally, with the planned release of Pokémon Winds & Waves in 2027, we intend to continue collaborating with The Pokémon Company to encourage customers who play Pokémon-related titles to transition to the Nintendo Switch 2.

>Could you explain the approach to medium- to long-term software development? Given the lengthening development cycles, isn’t it becoming difficult to release major titles for the Nintendo Switch 2 at the same pace as before?

While our ideal is to deliver a large number of new titles in a timely manner, as you pointed out, software development cycles have become longer compared to the past. Even so, we will continue to refine our development structure and processes and pursue various initiatives to ensure that players can enjoy a wide variety of titles on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Moving forward, we are preparing a variety of new titles for the Nintendo Switch 2, regardless of whether they are so-called “blockbuster” titles. Additionally, regarding the lineup for the latter half of this fiscal year, we have new titles in the works in addition to those already announced, and we will share details at the appropriate time.

>Regarding Mario Kart World, sales appear to have slowed somewhat since the bundled version went out of stock last December. How do you analyze the reasons for this? Also, could you explain the rationale behind the forecast of 60 million units for Nintendo Switch 2 software for the current fiscal year?

While we will refrain from providing detailed sales figures for individual titles, Mario Kart World is a key title that we intend to continue selling throughout the Nintendo Switch 2’s lifecycle. We plan to continue communicating its appeal to customers and hope that many will pick it up as a staple title.
Regarding software, we believe it is important to consider not only Nintendo Switch 2 software sales but also how to develop the overall software business encompassing both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
While the actual software sales figures for the previous fiscal year included units sold bundled with hardware and other products, the projected sales figures for the current fiscal year do not include such bundled units. Based on this premise, when looking at the combined figures for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, we have set the projected software sales for the current fiscal year to a level close to the previous fiscal year’s actual results, excluding bundled units.

>>738748743
This is such a fucking non answer lmao. I don’t think it’s controversial to say MKW is carried entirely by the $500 bundle, no one’s dropping $80 on any video game, not even Mario.

So all the concern trolling about Nintendo expecting no increase in software sales got BTFO.

>>738749225
That's investors for you anon.
They have only cared about one thing.

>>738749225
It's laying out what their internal analysts are saying to the HNIC of whatever investment group that is, and asking for corroboration of its accuracy since they have no expertise. Nintendo's a jewel of domestic investment, they have a lot of the country's money via disinterested parties like retirement funds.

>>738748684
Seems like confirmation they plan to fill the schedule with more mid budget and niche games to make up for longer time between tentpoles. Sounds great to me. Glad they’re not trying to fill those gaps with live service updates

>>738748684
>Additionally, regarding the lineup for the latter half of this fiscal year, we have new titles in the works in addition to those already announced, and we will share details at the appropriate time.
Very nice, but I wonder why they've been so secretive through 2026 so far.

>>738750947
They’d already announced the games for the first half of the year already. They seem to have through august covered. They likely just wanted to focus on marketing individual titles, especially since sales have been good. They can wait and have a bigger impact with a more packed direct the closer they get to an empty slate

Come on Furukawa just release those completed games. Stop hiding them

They need to partner up with more third party companies last month. The momentum is there so nintendo has to take advantage of it to release more games.

>>738750947
I mean we knew most of the year already
They just filled in june and July with starfox and Splatoon Raiders.

>>738748203

I think since the PS2 Nintendo has been in a perpetual state of butthurt. After PS2's blue ocean strategy and abandoning a chunk of its franchises to appeal to casuals Nintendo tried doing the same with the Wii. Now Nintendo is trying to sell a box with no games just like the PS5. Hell a lot of their games are also Switch 1 releases. Theyve basically given up on original content and are basically hoping youll gobble up the 5th remake of Starfox with a smile. Its pretty pathetic that this is what Nintendo has become.

>>738752684

I'm so so so glad that he said this, because now all the fucking morons who were saying dumb shit like "Pokemon doesn't drive system sales!" can wake up from their delusion. Tons of people bought a Switch 2 to play Pokopia, and at least four times as many people will buy a Switch 2 for Wind/Waves.

Why are these answers always so fucking long? Using like 500 words to say something that could be said in 50 words

>>738752757
I’ve never seen someone so happy that a company is going to make money. Outside of like the owners and investors of the company I mean. Which this guy is neither. Bizzare innit?

>now all the fucking morons who were saying dumb shit like "Pokemon doesn't drive system sales!" can wake up from their delusion
lol never gonna happen. The switch 2 becoming the fastest selling console ever didn't stop retards from calling it a flop

>>738752757

This is also the company that opted to keep 5th gen on the DS because they werent confident that theyd make enough sales by jumping straight to the 3DS.

I guarantee you Winds and Waves are gonna be Switch 1 titles with upgrade packs available for S2 users.

>>738752757
>"Pokemon doesn't drive system sales!"
There are people who say this? Pokemon was the gas of the 3DS.

>>738752943
I don't really understand what you're saying but just in case you're trying to PWN, cry more snoy, your idiotic rhetoric got exposed by Furakawa himself.

>>738753018
They already had at least 4 games on the switch one. Gen 10 is locked to switch 2 and that's probably because gamefreak doesn't want to waste time on optimization since they suck at programming.

itll be very hard to beat game boy numbers with the much lower switch 2 install base in 2027, especially vs the switch 1 install based of 2022 when scarlet/violent came out, but i wouldnt rule out somewhere in the range of 20 million, itll be very far from a flop but i do think it will be a slow start to mainline pokemon on switch 2 for sure

File: it's time to stop.png (442.0 KB)

Betting on a mainline Pokemon flopping is so stupid it's not even worth making fun of.

A pokemon spinoff was able to boost switch 2 sales imagine when they release Wind and Waves

>>738753451

I own a Switch 2 and I think its dumb to call WWs success a guarantee considering its the beginning of the Switch 2s lifespan and the console price is going up. Sure a lot of gaming enthusiasts wont mind paying for that but a lot of parents cant justify that. Let alone multiple units. They wont be anything close to SwSh or SV guaranteed.

>>738753702

Genuinely this.

>>738753913
True! This has happened before, actually. The 3DS was SUPER expensive when it first came out and that soured TONS of parents on the 3DS for ages, even AFTER the price cut, so Pokemon Y didn't sell very well eith-

My dad and grandpa are so good compared to me, my efforts are like peanuts compared to them. I had a little Zelda-ish style chest that I kept here for years as a little trinket box but when I was doing spring cleaning last year I give it to my sister since she was seething that I never made one for her (it's because I hate working with hinges and items that require excessive varnishing).

youre making me tear up because this is bringing back memories of my own granddad who would always look around for the best pieces of wood possbile, even when he was retired he helped with the gardening for all the local men who were the same age or older but less mobile than him, and in exchange their wives would give him a cup of tea and the guys would let him choose the best wood from their shed or skip (it was more common for men to have planks and spare wood lying around leftover from diy in those days, at least around here it was)
he was so fucking good that he made furiture, huge fuck off pieces of furniture, for everyone on the street. he wouldnt except any money, only tea and occasionally a fancy bottle of wine or whisky. honestly he hated money and just did it for the love of the craft and love of community. he probably saved his entire street thousands of pounds over the course of his sixteen or so years retired

thanks for keeping his spirit alive. it sucks how many people arent practically skilled any more, and generally i dont think men like him exist any more. you talking about a shoe rack, i mean fuck that was one of the last things he made

Funny how he didn't use "move to", "switch to"(fun pun as well), or "invest to"
Instead he uses""transition". After Tomodachi Life non-binary disaster, I would've expected nintendo to fucking learn something but it seems that tranny messaging is their ideology now.
I have been considering buying Switch 2 for a while but fuck that. I'm not supporting this propaganda. Its roots are deep in japan, there is nothing to be done.
30+ years of nintendo loyalty, its time to MOVE ON to other platforms. I will never trust nintendo again. And neither should you.

>>738756196
Did he actually say that? Word for word I mean? Because yesterday you tendies threw a shitfit when people were harping on the CEOsnoy calling the Switch's price raise a barrier, swearing up and down that's not what he said and if he did it's not what he meant.
So before I google it myself I figure I'd give you the benefit of the doubt and ask.

>>738756812
>he's still crying about getting BTFO'd yesterday
lmao

>>738756812
He did say that but the way it came out was odd and the context was about the budgets around spending on external studios to help with third party publishers or something. The question was pretty much what’s the point of the budget if PS is the king of third party already and he was reiterating that PS would be nothing without its content (software/games). Vastly misconstrued. But since tendies won’t hear that then I’ll just say Furukawa did say the Switch 2 was a barrier so yeah.

>>738756956

Is that why people started calling it Bario Kart?

>>738757740
During the quarterly report right? I think he realizes that the $70-$80 pricepoint they've set for their lower effort/quality games is a barrier to entry considering the sales.
I mean fuck, Mario Kart didn't even hit a million. It went from selling 14 million bundled to less than 700k. Pricing is a huge barrier for people.

I'm glad Sony's CEO is calling Snoys out on their bullshit, these normalfags are going to drop gaming once Sony goes back to their PS1-PS2 roots finally moving out of that movie shit they've been shitting out for years. Gaming needs to shrink so these dumb fuckers can get out of gaming already.

Nishino plans to bring back many of their old IPs and AA games. They also want new AA games along with courting indies to their platform. They want less live-service games and they want to move away from the hyper-realistic cinematic movie games.
Valve confirmed they're making multiple games Steam Hardware has lit a fire in their ass to follow what Nintendo does, make games built for the hardware, Deadlock and Half-Life 3 are just the beginning, also HL3 will shift Gordon's fight away from the Combine as the ones on Earth are the last ones as they were cut off from the rest at the end of HL2.

I find you retarded to be afraid of this. What's Sony or Valve going to do to Nintendo, you worm? Just shut up and enjoy gaming and stop picking between red company, blue company, and PC company like a shilling cheerleader. I swear I hate poor faggots.

Sony is objectively in a better situation than Nitendo is right now.
They shares are stable and doing well, while Nintendo lost half of its valuation in just 6 months.
Sony has backup business to support their gaming business if shit hits the fan.
Playstation hardware is still selling well.
Playstation online services are sellign well.
Playstation licensed games are selling well.
That's all that matters in the real world.

Same applies to Valve. Valve is in a even better situation because their plaform is much more open and accessible.

They pivoted before it was too late, they're fine. The death of PlayStation west, don't see that as them failing, that's them healing and returning to their homeland. Normalfags can eat shit and get out of gaming, it's our niche, NOT THEIRS!

>>738748203
Who fucking cares? This is /v/ not /biz/

I really hope the rumor of another, adventure-style Starfox game is true. The 64 remake seems like their attempt at "safely" weening a prospective new generation of fans onto the IP. That and the major cameo in the Mario movie lead me to believe they've got more in store already as opposed to merely "testing the waters" based on the performance of one standalone game.

The system's greatly lacking in "core audience" appeal right now. I find it kind of dire that the games forecast to have long legs are Mario Kart and Pokopia. MP4 really should've been the game to appeal to hobbyists and provided the sort of meat and density that's overall lacking from the exclusive offerings of the library, but, "oof."

>>738761527
If they make the flying parts like actual Star Fox missions instead of whatever they were thinking with Adventures, then that would be great

>>738761446

>>738761886
Who's going to be able to afford an $800-$900 PS6, anon, those faggots are leaving and fucking off from gaming. Sony will get those types of players that do enjoy that with a handheld, of course though, it's getting split three ways between the Switch 2, Steam Deck 2, and PS6 handheld. Sony no longer has that full dominate space they once had. But I know one major reality, normalfag era of gaming is coming to an end and gaming will be ours again. Their AAA slop is not sustainable. Astro Bot is proof that those players still exist within PlayStation. For devs, it will be Team Asobi while XDevs will help get third parties working on Sony's IPs.

Most memes and insults he uses are just repurposed ones from previous years.
He's dumb enough to think that they work when randomly applied the other way round without context or reasoning.
He thinks they work because he himself found them infuriating when they were correctly used against him.
I wouldn't be surprised if he tries calling the switch 2 an air purifier without any understanding why it's a joke.

>>738763896
Mario kart world has outsold half the franchise and it's not been out a full year. You don't know what a barrier is and the Capcom CEO said it about the PS5 because it was a "barrier for entry" in regards to Monster Hunter Wilds.

>>738763261
Ideally there would be emphasis on adventure-STYLE and it'd be a different, earnest attempt at expounding on Starfox's gameplay formulas and universe. It'd also be redundant for it to be just like the previous Adventures game if the OoT remake is real. But they put out both Kirby Air Riders and Mario Kart, so who knows.

I remember a rumor that years ago, Retro supposedly pitched Nintendo an idea for not-Mass Effect set in the Starfox universe. This is fanon pipe dream territory but I think it'd be really cool if they revisited a concept like that.

>>738763896
>So basically what the capcom ceo said lmao
No, because the capcom CEO was specifically saying that the PS5 was hurting software sales. No one is saying that about the Switch 2

>>738748684

>>738764271
A far lower percentage than when it was bundled I'd wager.

>>738764319
He called the price a barrier to entry. Much in the same way that the capcom CEO did the PS5. Sales figures of Mario Kart World, their most expensive game, also prove it. Look at the drop off between it being at $50 bundled to $80 standalone.

the capcom CEO specifically was saying the PS5 was a barrier of entry for third party sales. Furukawa was specifically saying a price increase makes it harder for consumers to get the console itself. If you can't tell the difference between those two you are either a liar or retarded.

Nigga the Q4 is always the worse quarter and you know it, and why the fuck did you say ">700k" when we know it was 2.49? The switch 1 also sold significantly less in its Q4s.

You're such a lying faggot it's incredible. In Q3 it sold 14 million, and the updated number for q4 is 14.7.
Holy shit, we can google this you know.

>>738764682
A game that sold 14 million from launch to Q3, only to sell >700k from Q3 to Q4 has no barrier to entry
>the sales just dropped because, they just did alright?!
Something slowed MKW's sales down a bit. Like something got in the way. A barrier of sorts.

>>738764683
I think he genuinely believes the 'no u' act will eventually work.

>>738764683
ikr? the ps5 Q4 sales were genuinely awful. A full million less than the switch 2 and a 46% drop from last year. Yet they have the audacity to try and claim Nintendo is the one seeing a dropoff.

Prime 4 sold like shit, I don't even know why you mentioned it, Dread is a better game to bring up, if they do another 3D Metroid game, I hope it isn't Prime.

When? Post your source.

>>738764768
700k in a single quarter, months after release is still more sales than many games get in their lifetimes. It's still selling and still accounts for 74% of all console owners.

The "dumb gimmick era" has all been leading towards the Switch that then became it's biggest success. Each console acting as a prototype for the one that followed.

Hell the Switch 2 has already had a gimmick game, albeit a shitty one. Remember that crippleball shit? I'd be surprised if they don't make another game using the two mouse sensors in some weird way.

>>738766562
Sony knew they fucked up letting some western faggot take over their gaming division, now they're on an apology tour while making a handheld to fix their standing. If Sony was smart, they'll bring back the Japanese control scheme for the PS6 home console and handheld.

>>738766798
>The "dumb gimmick era" has all been leading towards the Switch that then became it's biggest success. Each console acting as a prototype for the one that followed.
True, I forgave Nintendo for that because they finally gave me the console I've always wanted.

>>738766543
Tendies finding out it’s more than just their 4 bogeymen shitting on their friends would make them think the mods are in on it like some kind of snoys or something.

Because going all out would just kill Switch 1 sales just like that, also because no one wants another Metroid Prime 4 scenario that was vaporware that made them lose money because of the high expectations

>>738753018
The company that did that was Game Freak. They were afraid of the 3DS not having sold enough so they kept Gen 5 exclusive to DS with DSi features. Once again they were afraid the switch was going to be a massive flop so they didn't bother with development for Switch until later, which took them by surprise as the engine wasn't porting just as nicely (their engine sucks ass). For Winds and Waves they basically had to sanitize the engine to meet current hardwar requirements, this was on the leaked documents.

It's Switch 2 exclusive. They're not making any more copium Switch 1 ports.

yeah it'll probably only sell 20 million units.

Shitendo is tryign to downplay the impact of increasing prices eh? Once the Canis is released, shitch poo will be DEAD

>>738772445
How much do you think the "Canis" will be?

>>738772445
Here we go again with the fanfics

>>738772498
Doesnt matter when Canis brings more value since it can play ps5 AND ps6 games while also being more powerful

>>738772941
If it doesn't matter, then why are you afraid to say it?

>>738772498
If Sony drops the RAM down to about 16GB, probably $550 from subsidizing. Steam Deck 2 will also probably stick with 16GB of RAM thus also being the same price.

>>738766527

Not him but if Snoys can't agree with Nishino then it's time for their normalfag asses to go. PS5 is a worthless no games plastic box of nothing.

That's why he's so obsessed with it.

Yeah; plus it was from one of the premier third parties to boot. It's why he desperately wants the Switch 2 to be associated with the "barrier" word too.

>>738751285
He's not though.
>bbut my image!
Says "In the US" so NOA/Treehouse are responsible.
Just buy the Japan/Asia versions from play-asia and ignore the western censor.

Surprised nobody asked about the falling share price since it directly affects investors, though considering Nintendo's results and outlook there is no logical reason for it to be going down so harshly so I don't think they'd give a useful answer anyway.

>>738769197

The gimmicks are what differentiated Nintendo from their competition and forced them to work hard in releasing a strong first-party selection, since third-parties couldn't be bothered to work around their gimmicks.
Now Nintendo has become lazy and complacent with the Switch's third-party success.
It was innovative to have a lot of these already popular games released onto a portable system, but now with the steam deck and other similar handhelds out, it's no longer impressive and now that the Switch 2's portability is even worse due to its reduced battery life, it's more comparable to the PS5 and PCs where its underpowered-nature becomes all the more noticeable.

>>738778295
No. Sony literally paid 3rd parties (by offering dirt cheap deals on distribution thanks to their other divisions) to abandon Nintendo. Thanks to their beef with Yamauchi they didn't look back.
Nintendo always differentiated themselves with 1st party games and that never changed.
>but now with the steam deck and other similar handhelds out, it's no longer impressive
Fastest selling console of all time.

>>738748743
So Mario Kart World is expected to continue selling over time as one of the console's evergreens is what I'm getting from this.

>>738778610
>Surely it was Sony's fault the Wii had such poor third-party support and not because of the underpowered hardware and having to work around motion controls
Genuine derangement.

He's either a sony fan or a splatoon fan

>>738777834
I wonder if the Switch 2 version of the game can even salvage it.

>>738749117
>This is such a fucking non answer lmao. I don’t think it’s controversial to say MKW is carried entirely by the $500 bundle, no one’s dropping $80 on any video game, not even Mario.

It still sold almost 600k in one quarter post bundle thats like over 1/5th of system sales. I think its probably not much of an issue to the casuals who buy a couple games a year.

Whereas for people who buy a game every month $80 or $70 is an extra $120 per year. Which is probably where they're losing sales.

>>738753258
It's Pokémon, it will sell regardless of quality

>>738753258
>If I pray hard enough I will believe it
literally a cult behaviour

>>738778295
>The gimmicks are what differentiated Nintendo from their competition
No, they were stupid and made for faggots and babies.
>and forced them to work hard in releasing a strong first-party selection
A lot Nintendo's games sucked back then, got ruined by gimmicks, and Nintendo made far less along with many of their franchises going dormant.
>Now Nintendo has become lazy and complacent with the Switch's third-party success.
So, they returned to their roots before the DS and Wii?
>It was innovative to have a lot of these already popular games released onto a portable system, but now with the steam deck and other similar handhelds out, it's no longer impressive and now that the Switch 2's portability is even worse due to its reduced battery life, it's more comparable to the PS5 and PCs where its underpowered-nature becomes all the more noticeable.
Switch 2 is still the only handheld with its features, Steam Deck and Steam Deck 2 are just portable PCs, PS6 handheld is just a portable PlayStation you take with you.

Nintendo made the best decision along with Sony and Valve because they fix the biggest problem of gaming today, poor console/PC optimization. Because the Switch 2 is weak, the PS6 handheld and Steam Deck 2 both will be stuck with just 16GB of LPDDR5X, it means gaming is returning to how it was from the 1st-8th generation when games weren't really trying to push it leading to a massive boom period for the indie and AA market.

Switch also outsold every single console Nintendo has ever made.

>>738778848
I was talking about N64, bucko.
So, 3rd parties didn't put games on Wii because it was underpowered and not because of a gimmick like you said? Your whole retarded argument makes no sense.
