Watching Nintendo fumble console launches (sometimes whole generations) is one of the few constants in my life for the last 30 years. Dropping first party support for previous gens within 12 months, nothing compelling on the next gen for 18-24 months and now, egregious pricing for hardware and software. You’d think they’d learn what not to do, especially after doing it a half dozen times.
Is the Switch 2 really fumbled? I swear I just read the other day that they’ve sold more than predicted.
I didn’t say its selling poorly but I feel the points I made are pretty valid. In terms of units sold, it’s done very well but it’s not selling as well as predicted and they have cut production for this quarter by a 30%.
It had RECORD sales. Nintendo did a great job that supply met demand and scalpers didn’t ruin it for a lot of people. Cutting back after your launch delivered to your core base should be a standard, not an exception. Hating on Nintendo is justified in many areas, but this isn’t warranted.
