Switch Nintendo Switch is faltering in the “console war”

[bjork]

The Wii lacked BioShock or other big PS360 titles, it was fine for many.

The Wii was so weird, because it blew up with many people who didn't game regularly, it's really interesting. The top selling Wii list is a trip, too. Like half of the top ten are first-party exercise/sports games. I think a bunch of rhythm games are up there too. I know the switch was/is huge, but that Wii era was just wild to look back on.

This. Just like people used to buy a Playstation for Madden, so too do people buy Nintendo consoles for Mario or Kirby or whatever.

This too, but it's why they don't need BF6, RE9, etc. Since Wii-era, Nintendo's vibe with third party stuff is that it's a bone they're throwing out there to lure in undecided casuals. I don't have any numbers in front of me, but given the sales of something like a Mario Kart 8 for Switch, they probably made more off DLC packs for that, than they did any third party title on the platform. Maybe even multiple combined..

Yes hence why there is no point in arguing what consoles is the best selling or not. I hate consoles wars it just makes people behave like assholes. Even if Nintendo fans are assholes always and get angry when you don´t sing Nintendo praises and will always defend them. "ahh capitalism at it´s finest defending a company they are doing everything to suck your wallet dry"

But my point is that the tittle of this post said and I quote Nintendo Switch is faltering in the console war" But how can it falter when it´s not even part of the so called "console war" ?? Nintendo is doing their own thing with their on so call first party games that has gone down in quality "Pokemon AZ and metroid prime and not to mention how broken mess Violet was"

So my statement will be the same Nintendo is busy being more Evil and shittier than EA while focusing on dropping the quality of their so called first party games even Ubisoft goes WTF is going on.

So they are not part of any console war what so ever and honestly I just wish these console wars just stopped. Buy what ever console you wish for and quit behaving like children in a sandbox arguing who´s best selling or not. Like who gives a shit which console made the most money ?? You are not getting any of that money anyway so.

The question is rather different .
How will Nintendo die ?
Not by its competitors .
But by itsself .
....which takes a long while till they reach their grave .

In the meantime , im waiting what kind of stupid ideas nintendo do again .

I mean , Lord of the Rings looks like Zelda and maybe J.R.R. Tolkien stole the idea of Zelda before TLoZ 1 on the NES was created . Am i right , Nintendo ?

Considering how mediocre the new Mario Kart, Pokemon ZA and Metroid 4 games are, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo just dies thanks to its own laziness and greed. Nintendo NEEDS a strong competition so it can continue to make better games and stop acting like it can bully the gamers without repercussions.

The Switch 2 is just getting started. The library is a bit dry as of right now but in a year or so there's going to be a lot of magic on it.

all i see yet more "nintendo is doomed" crap that's been spieled since the Gamecube era.

i'll start believing it when nintendo actually shows signs of actual trouble like mass layoffs and cancellations of projects.

I don't care about the Switch 2. I have a modded Switch 1 oled, an Odin2 Portal, and am waiting for a Rog Ally X to come in the mail. I can play anything I want aside from the ONE game on the Switch 2 that actually interests me (Donkey Kong Bonanza)

Switch 2 is a joke at this point, the handheld market has so many better options than that worthless thing. Handhelds are stupidly powerful now and emulation is improving by leaps and bounds with PS3, 360, Vita, Switch 1, etc. Even android devices can emulate PC games now.

Between my Odin2 Portal and Rog Ally X I'll have enough stuff to play for a few more years. Maybe by then the Switch 2 will actually be worth buying.

yes, with that bulk price range one would expect similar if not better mobile performance to an IPhone or Samsung Galaxy, as Switch lacks mobile and camera features to save cost.
Even at mobile gaming, Switch 2 is underpowered with inferior display resolution. No HDR and high fidelity audio options either. Add also that it adds dynamic resolution in order to downscale graphics.
