yeah all those college kids

not using face time

or discord

the switch 2 is a poorly marketed poorly targeted clusterfuck

screenshare without capture cards is a decent feature

how many people have tables you can sit at and use a joycon with a mouse with in your living room

Leg, I read that interview too, I go back to I think Nintendo executed 10% of the idea that would have been wildly successful 5 years ago

as in sit straight up, and use the joycon like a mouse

i have never seen a single living room in my entire life where that's possible unless you sit on the floor

they said somewhere it works on your leg

oh woooow

you try playing a game with your mouse on your leg on a couch

see how fun it is

i did it as a kid and it was miserable

that was the one use for trackball mice as a kid

you could use them on weird surfaces or your leg/arm

the mouse feature is poorly designed the webcall voicechat feature is targeted at no one the price point isnt viable for middle class families switch lite is too recent, same with oleds

i think, outside of the hype and scalping

the true number of people is low

Switch OLED has a better screen as well

no games either

^

that's the big one

pvp bloodborne is not nearly enough

kids just don't care that much about Nintendo in general

outside of pokemon sorta

yes

the Nintendo nostalgia era is over

which is going to ve Really interesting

nintendo can't rely on their big factor

pokemon probably carries hard enough

Switch 2 being a "personal" console again also probably hurts them

i think unironically something more "wii core"

would of done a lot better

I still think the endgame for Nintendo is a cloud console

play anywhere, subscription fee

release a Switch lite handheld or w/e to still have that product line

but everything is cloud streaming on the backend

people playing on their phones, on PCs, on their smart TVs, etc.

switch lite unironically

fucked switch 2 sales i think

i know SOOOO many people who got their kids switch lites

same

past 3 years

there's no way that isn't cutting into year 1 sales of switch 2

like crazy

I also just know a lot of kids who got switches, and then sorta stopped caring about dedicated "games machines" in general

the truth nuke is

most kids that played games didnt actually really like them that much or were a big fan of games but it was cool dopamine

now with tiktok and other sources
