AnK Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 (edited) Switch was significantly more powerful than PS360 wasn’t it?!? If this is not even XBone level of power then it’s really a shame!! $400 would get you a PS4 & XBone in 2014. Edited April 4 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, Switch 2's max possible memory bandwidth is 120 GB/s, which is still inferior to Series S's 240 GB/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Frankly for Nintendo customers it won't matter - they're getting an upgrade over the Switch and it's a portable PS4 Pro, that's big enough! Ninty customers don't care about power! They only care about the Ninty Games - and it's a huge market with a massive fan base, along with casuals and kids added in too! That said - price is where Nintendo can potentially fail this time! You make the consoles and games too expensive - you're alienating kids and casuals and even the major fans might think twice or wait a bit! Not sure how it'll play out! I hope Switch 2 succeeds though and comes to a good price point here - I loved the 3DS and the Switch 1 and it's games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 If they start to fail they’ll just cut prices & bounce back. The same logic of digital library acquired by Playstation players applies here aswell. Ppl will sooner or later(after price cuts) will buy the successor to access their thousands of $£€₹ worth of games. I don’t see switch players abandoning Nintendo & buying SteamD or ROG Ally.

I hope Switch 2 succeeds though and comes to a good price point here - I loved the 3DS and the Switch 1 and it's games Its same or weaker than Pro/ Xbox One X and more expensive than PS5 digital. I think It will sell much less than Switch 2 overall. How much Switch 1 sold? 150m? Current economic scenario is not same as it was for Switch and it will get worse soon as per some experts. Now things can change if politicians comes to their senses. Edited April 5 by Zod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houndini Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Seems like Xbots and PS fanbois have no games to play! I hate the pricing but petty sure Nintendo will be fine. All this doomsday scenario will fade in front of new Mario, Zelda, Metroid etc. Don't forget Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the highest selling Switch game for almost a decade. I've hope in HK and Dubai resellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certain ppl want proprietary devices & their exclusives to outright fail now. It sits well with the new narrative….has been pretty much up on social media since last year’s fateful events. 49 minutes ago, Big Boss said: Are games really $90? Some First party physical are…third party are free to decide but expect a $10 bump between digital & physical for them aswell. As Nintendo sets the physical medium charge.

playstationdude Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 (edited) Stupid pricing of games is probably why nintendo is doubling down on emulation. They know the system is easy to emulate, people will prefer that route over paying 90 bucks for their games Outside of collectors and hardcore nintendo fans I see this tanking because of the very high pricing of games. 90 usd lmao Edited April 5 by playstationdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the usp for this game? Mario Kart Specifically? It's mindless fun especially with friends! It's kind of like a MP Astro Bot of Racers! The graphics etc aren't great, but the smooothness, the the tracks and courses that can go up/down/indoors/outdoors/underwater and many more is brilliant in level design along with the maddening random power ups and ways for you to even trip up and block other people's races! The game takes you to the fun you had in childhood with video games! That's kind of the USP of all Nintendo games too! It's really hard to beat their creativity, level design and gameplay in most games! For Mario Kart - I don't think there's any major publisher doing similar game at all!
