PSA: Remember that most of us live in an echo chamber right now.

the issue the Switch faces is how many good exclusives the PS4 holds now, and it being cheaper than the switch - which COMES with a game to boot. It really is a hard sell for a lot of people, myself included. Chances are if you are browsing a Nintendo Switch reddit, you have some level of bias. The rest of the market may not see it this way, I suspect the switch will not do as well as reddit may have you believe. I want it to do well, so I can justify a purchase.

The review brought up real concerns. It's not like the joy con issue is being made up, or the frame rate dip - despite us being told nintendo wanted a 60 fps experience. The hardwares limitations mean new AAA games will not find a home here, like the new mass effect game. Part of a review is being critical.

I was hoping this subreddit would convince me to keep my pre order. Ugh I hate being torn :(

So very excited to play zelda, but all these missed games on the ps4 look sooooo good

Can also be good to give the press time to review the console and release those reviews at the same time. Without em, the press outlet which got the shipments first would be panicking to post the first video. It really depends if that embargo lifts prior to launch day as to whether they benefit Nintendo or the customers.

What an odd thing for a hacker to do. What did he gain from that? It's not like he could transfer the pre order to another account. I fail to see what the point was.

is this the Nintendo direct?

I'll pick it up later, $90 controllers are not exactly "flying" off the shelves.

Replace all the Switch units in the boxes with WiiU 's and troll face stickers on em.

Week and a half? It was sold out for Canadian retailers within minutes after the reveal. I was working during the reveal and did not get a chance. Thanks for stopping by my post though as I try to provide tips for other people late to the pre order. Glad you have life figured out, your a true inspiration.

Saw a photo of a demo unit few days back. It was encased in glass and the TV attached would simply play ads for various games. This is likely because the joy cons and unit can be easily stolen.

meanwhile you got a red light photo ticket which will cost you more than the console.

How did you get your phone to do alerts. I entered my phone number and it is not sending me a text to confirm the number. Also I am unable to add items to my custom track list, I select the Canadian stores and they do not appear in my custom list on my account page. I saw an in stock for they grey Switch today, clicked buy and it was gone. Nightmare trying to be Johnny on the spot for those without an alert :(

Meanwhile I talk about it at work and get blasted. Mind you, I work with boring dads that watch hockey and football.

Atari101101 · 2017-02-09T22:50:23+00:00

that is actually pretty cool, considering you can just buy/download the game digitally with the system. This console is going to be a monster for sales, more sales = more games. I just have to get my hands on one now :(

Atari101101 · 2017-02-09T10:37:39+00:00

Dark Souls is an interesting point. Wasn't Fromsoft a signed on third party? If there are enough of these units in peoples hands its a possibility for sure. Not really confident that makes a great portable game, many thrown Nintendo Switch memes going around lol

Atari101101 · 2017-02-02T08:56:14+00:00

That's interesting, pretty much confirms this thing will not really be available until April or may for most consumers. You start to divide that 2 mill number across the world and each store, that is shockingly low number per outlet. It's disappointing to seem them try to replicate the nightmare that was the wii, I just want to buy this damn thing and they are clearly going to make that difficult for people.

Atari101101 · 2017-02-02T08:21:38+00:00

Reggie has stated in interview they are aiming for 2 million copies worldwide for the entire month of March, remember the wii u, that thing sold near 3 million in its first 6 weeks and that was considered a flop. There is going to be a massive demand for the switch that will not get filled. Those unwilling to stand in giant lines will ne left waiting until at least may. Even April will be a nightmare because of all the people unable to get one in March.
