Well if I can speak for anything, I did buy a DS and a 3DS, avoided the Vita and also have no plans of getting the Switch at this point in time.

It's like using Salon to write an article about Donald Trump. It'll inevitably be a shite article. Same thing can be applied to 4chan in general. Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

Said title looks like butt on the WiiU vs the Switch. Still, rip those who camped out for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent only a few to stores, and they said it "sold out" Because only like 3 to 10 were sent, and since stores have been sent 10 or less switches, its safe to say its probably not that much that were sent out. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mf3Zcc My build R.I.P Donny- Got banned.

Agreed, but the secondary article I posted points out too that sales are going to be low compared to other consoles. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mf3Zcc My build R.I.P Donny- Got banned.

Posted March 3, 2017 Just go to reddit. Its sold out everywhere. I managed to get one because I work a block from the NYC Nintendo Store. But besides that every other place is sold out. Period.

Posted March 3, 2017 Different markets, different demographics, different sales numbers. Its definitely not sold out "everywhere", thats for sure, others it is. But lets be real - the lack of good titles and decent bundling is holding it a bit back right now. Also, quite a lot of people is eiter still waiting, or just recently took delivery of their classic mini. And while some of them might want to buy the Switch at some point, they're not in any hurry, as they're still riding their retro fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we go with the 4Chan source, this is pretty much ancedotal and even if we ignore that the sample size is small. Not it that I think this release will be a success, but it's just too early to call the shots. If you want to reply back to me or someone else USE THE QUOTE BUTTON!

Posted March 3, 2017 54 minutes ago, ♠FlamieMeister♠ said: Reportedly, a 4chan user went to best buy to buy a switch at 2:45pm Eastern today, and found that bestbuy had only sold 3 switches. Then the thread began to have more people saying that they visited Walmarts and stores, and found that all of them barely sold or have not at all sold. In addition, I can back this up, going by a Gamestop AND 2 retail stores only to find switches in stock and no one there really that interested. This is probably due to high prices, and only 1 really exciting title. In addition, analysts project the switch will sell 5 million by the end of the year, which is starkly low compared to the xbox one and ps4 sales, especially for a company like Nintendo, who's only real market is the Video game market. I think this could spell bad news for the Giant, as if this fails, theres a high chance they'll quit the home console market all together, as 2 fails in a row would spell dire financial problems. The most likely option is they'll focus on the DS line and dump the home line.

Posted March 3, 2017 My favourite Twitch streamer couldn't pick his Switch up until 8am today his local time because his local GameStop didn't have enough pre orders to warrant a midnight opening and he lives in California. They have more interest in call of rehased duty every year than they did for the Switch.

Posted March 3, 2017 Amazon UK is sold out, can't get it at Argos at the moment either, haven't looked anywhere else. I'd say UK sales have been on target. And there will be lots of people waiting for the game library to fill out before buying. It's Christmas sales that will really indicate if Nintendo have another Wii or another Wii U.

If they sold pretty much all they shipped it means they hit target, it doesn't mean it was a large target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
