Message: [QUOTE="Geocide, post: 247297, member: 61037"] The problem here is that we are still in the very early days of the Switch 2. Even the original Switch had teething issues when first released back in 2017. The first 1-2 years of a console (now-a-days) is never a truly proper indicator of where it will go. We are not going to see if the Switch2 is a success or failure until a few years down the road. People getting rid of their Switch2s already is not uncommon. This [B][I][U]always [/U][/I][/B]happens with each new console release. As an aside, and a little off-topic but still relevant to the discussion: let's mention the Playstation 5. [B][U][I]Supposedly,[/I][/U][/B] the pissnickel has some pretty insane sales numbers (currently over 60 [B]million[/B] console sales), yet due to the complete lack of any exclusives on it, software sales are absolutely atrocious when in comparison to the amount of people who actually supposedly own a pissnickel. Stellar Blade wouldn't have been ported to PC at all if Soyny felt that it sold enough on the console to keep it as an exclusive. But I'm digressing. My point with my digression above is that the Switch2's console sales numbers will mean [B][I]absolutely nothing[/I][/B] if the software sales and variety of software is atrociously low. The fact that Nintendo thought it was brilliant to release a console with one of the lowest amount of day one software available really shows that the business suits and MBAs that currently run Nintendo are smoothbrain retards (as all business suits and MBAs are). Software is king. This is why portable handheld PCs are really starting to dominate the market, especially with what the Steam Deck has been able to prove. And let's be honest here:[B][I][U] the Switch2 is a direct competitor to the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion, and any other PC handheld[/U][/I][/B]. As long as the Switch2 doesn't have exclusives, the Switch2 does not have the edge anymore when it comes to portable gaming, especially considering the updated SD OLED models having better battery life. Nintendo thought they could be successful staying where they were with the Switch2 basically being a refresh of the Switch with only a few minor tweaks. And this would've worked [B][I][U]3 years ago.[/U][/I][/B] But now we live in the age where handheld PCs and Steam are not only actually viable, but people are migrating to such systems en masse due to the cost:performance ratio. Hopefully Nintendo will get their heads out of their business suit MBA assholes, but I don't expect anything from them anymore. This is what happens when an entertainment company is ran by people who know absolutely nothing about and don't touch or interact with their own fucking products. [/QUOTE]
