    The Switch is DOOMED

    I think it has had a strong start. It's got 17 million sold already. But it needs to keep bringing out solid releases and regularly to keep the momentum going. And also to bring out the same 3rd party games as it's competitors and at the same time not ages after. I don't think it will outsell...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    There are hardly any members on ZD... And the Switch appears to have brought out some more exclusives since the making of this year old thread and therefore ending up with its sales better than what it looked like they might be.

    The Switch is DOOMED

    No they don't. It was but one example of a way Nintendo milks its consumers. Their move to a hybrid console would be a great idea. The problem is they have said they aren't replacing the 3DS with the Switch. Which means most hand held gamers won't be forced to switch over and therefore won't...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    I have been watching E3 for years. And Nintendo rarely has a good showing anymore. Their only good one that I can remember recently was the one where Iwata fought Reggie.

    The Switch is DOOMED

    The consumers are the real idiots for supporting them. Nintendo are just arrogant and greedy. They'll try to get away with as much milking as they can. Just like with the amiibo scam selling 1$ worth of DLC with a crappy toy attached to it to try and justify a 12$ price tag.

    The Switch is DOOMED

    This thread has not been proven wrong. There are no figures for Switch sales as far as I am aware and we dont know how long this rapid uptake is going to last. They could hit a great plateau at any moment. This lack of having enough consoles is undoubtedly hurting sales no matter how good the...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/782811/Zelda-Breath-of-the-Wild-Wii-U-Nintendo-Switch-stock Due to stock troubles the Wii U version of BoTW has seen a surge of sales. Many who just wanted Zelda wont buy a Switch now because they have what they wanted on the Wii U. Nintendo not...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    As I have said before there is not just one market. I do not necessarily represent the average gamer. I am someone who is buying a switch to play the best version of Breath of The Wild. If no other games were coming to Switch I'd still buy one to play Breath of The Wild. Therefore, when I talk...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    No it isn't very clear. I thought it should be clear that it is indeed a hybrid. It looks like a hybrid to me and I have seen it described as such by others. However you say it doesn't to you. That indicates it is not clear messaging. You get the same sort of experience playing Smash and HW on...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    It is a tablet that has a huge audience. It also happens to have the ability to play games. It is not what I would call a gaming device. Nintendo will not tap this market because Switch is not a console/ tablet hybrid. It is a home console/ handheld console hybrid.

    The Switch is DOOMED

    Due to the fact I think it is a hybrid and because you dont think it is, this shows Nintendo have made the mistake of using unclear messaging and marketing. The likes of which we saw with the Wii U. People were like 'What the **** is a Wii U? A new controller? A new console?' And now people are...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    It is just one game but a certain member brought it up along with others claiming it to be a system seller and I needed to say why I thought it wasn't a system seller. That goes for any third party game. When you have a PS4 which plays them better whilst they look superior to versions on other...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    DQ is on PS4 by the looks of things and apparently it looks better on that system. I therefore dont think it will be a switch system seller. I have already said 3rd party games are better on PS4 in both performance and look. It has got to be Nintendo exclusives to bring new buyers in. Splatoon...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    I dont think it is unfair. Radiant Dawn was a console FE and this new one is also a console FE. What it is not fair to do would be to compare a home console FE to a handheld FE and expect handheld FE fans to suddenly get home consoles to play an installment. I haven't mentioned Dragon Quest...

    The Switch is DOOMED

    Those franchises are less popular than you think. Fire emblem isn't that popular and it certainly isn't on home consoles. Radiant dawn did not even sell 500,000 on the Wii with a 100million user base.

    Zelda is dual release Wii U and Switch. Mario is the only system seller you mentioned there.

    The Switch is DOOMED

    Nintendo is going to have another flop of a console on their hands if they aren't careful. Initially I thought the Switch would be a success story with it being a hybrid of home console and portable. A machine that could lap up both of Nintendo's existing consumer bases (handheld and home...
