@Eldonchorizo_ @TheGuyMatthew20 @Garaa0fTheRage Not really. If smash is $80 digital then they still aren't lying. It will jusr be cheaper than physical.

@NintyPrime I think fire emblem will be $70 digital and bigger games like 3d mario could be $80 digital.

There it is. Nintendo ain't messing around. No, games aren't going to go up in price. Not happening. According to them. So this is nothing other than digital games are just cheaper now.
Take it, or leave it.

Nintendo: "The cost of physical games is not going up. "This means that when Nintendo sells digital versions of Nintendo published games exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 to consumers in the U.S., those prices will have an MSRP that is lower than their physical counterparts." ign.com/articles/ninte…

"We're struggling to keep up with demand," House said, noting highest demand is in the US and Europe. "Conservatively, as we get into the early summer months, we'll be closer to a full supply situation."
English
Facts are extremely inconvenient to trolls.
The only consoles with supply constraints before Switch was Wii.

@MrGameCrazy @NintenDeenYT Well yeah the og switch was constantly out of stock in its first year
English
@sharpy2426 @NintenDeenYT Ok, but it still doesn't change the fact that the Switch 2 has been selling faster in the US than the original Switch.
English
A reminder, "fastest selling launches aligned" means very little when only one of those consoles had a holiday bump and zero supply constraints. I've been talking about this for a year. Today's news doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
English
@MrGameCrazy @NintenDeenYT A console in stock sold more than one not in stock. Jeez he's a fuckin genius.
English
@MrGameCrazy @NintenDeenYT Because you cant sell consoles that aren't in stock.

@Eze2k25 @willo567 @NintenDeenYT He just asked what the sales numbers were for each console. Didn't demolish anything.
English
@willo567 @NintenDeenYT Oh he is for sure!!! This demolished his narrative. I’m not surprised though 🤷🏼♂️

@salvador_flores @NintenDeenYT Supply constraints vs no supply constraints. Post is irrelevant.

@NintenDeenYT You all were hyping up the doom posting too early Circana had to provide actual metrics. x.com/stealth40k/sta…

In response to Bloomberg's article about Switch 2's momentum, Mat Piscatella shared how much Switch 2 is outpacing other platforms in the US after nine months: Wii U: +302% GameCube: +139% Xbox 360: +120% 3DS: +96% Xbox Series: +73% Xbox One: +61% PS2: +56% Switch: +45% Wii: +34% PS4: +30% PS5: +29% The only system Switch 2 isn't trending higher than currently is the Game Boy Advance.

In the past, when Bloomberg was wrong about something, Nintendo issued a tweet denying the claims made by them fairly quickly.

@Joshuelle2 @Zirconium_Pants @Blake96t @NintenDeenYT "And yet GTA 4 and 5 on PS3 and Xbox 360 never came close in pushing console sales."
Factually incorrect.
English
@sharpy2426 @Zirconium_Pants @Blake96t @NintenDeenYT And yet GTA 4 and 5 on PS3 and Xbox 360 never came close in pushing console sales. They are nowhere near the Switch 1 total numbers.
English
Switch 1 did ~2.3M in its first holiday compared to the ~1.5M of the Switch 2. This doesn't surprise me at all.

@IbukiLazuli @younghavok I brought it up because some dont want digital. It's not hard to fkn understand.
English
@sharpy2426 @younghavok It is stupid when nobody mentioned physical versus digital, but you chose to bring it up. You can’t really use that as an argument when (most) original switch games used real physical games, while ps4, Xbox one, and steam games use your storage. Keycards are a change nobody likes
English
Nintendos decision to forego a spring Nintendo direct not really looking too good right now.
English
@IbukiLazuli @younghavok The keycard argumrnt isn't stupid when some want physical. It a legit critism whether you like it or not.
English
@sharpy2426 @younghavok Switch has the benefit of being portable. It runs games better than other platforms like steam deck. And bringing key cards into the argument is so stupid when plenty of other platforms are purely only digital
English
@IbukiLazuli @younghavok Maybe they have another platform for superior third party games or don't want keycards.
English
@younghavok More proof that generic “Nintendo fans” only play first party games, we’ve gotten a partner direct and and indie direct with plenty of hype games
English
English
@sharpy2426 @Blake96t @NintenDeenYT Ah yes I vaguely remember that the switch 1 sold very badly because it didn’t have red dead redemption 2
