How long will the Switch continue being produced once the new consoles hit the market? (especially Lockhart & the all digital PS5) Will Nintendo be forced to cut the price of it from $300 to maybe $230?
>muh switch pro!!!!
Face it. That thing (if it ever even comes out) will be a complete flop. We've already seen the One X, and what do you think happened there? I doubt it'd even be more powerful than the original XB1.
Is Nintendo fucked?
>How long will the Switch continue being produced once the new consoles hit the market?
As long as necessary because Japan and some of the West will keep Nintendo alive.
Just like PlayStation with Europe keeping it alive.
Meanwhile America has lost interest in the xbox and are now buying PlayStation and Nintendo
The Switch is not and has never been in direct competition with other condoles
>Is Nintendo fucked
No, it’s the other two

That's what they say, but most consumers aren't likely to believe that. Isn't it funny how you can buy a PS4 Slim or Xbox One S for literally $30-50 less than the normal Switch?
Four to five years.
You need to understand, Nintendo opted to merge it's home console and handheld this gen.
You have to stop thinking of the switch as a PS5/Series X competitor, it is not. It's a smartphone competitor, it's basically what the 4DS would've been, they will make more hardware revisions, but this is the system parents get their kids for christmas, where they used to get them a game boy/GBA/DS/3DS.
Neither of those will or never will have the first party games that people buy the switch for.
Despite being cheaper the S and Slim got blown the fuck out
The Switch has sold more in its lifespan than the PS4 did in the same time, and Animal Crossing has outsold every PS4 exclusive in a matter of months.
Switch will do fine, Snoy and Mircosofts games are also on PC.
The Switch fills a niche that Sony and Microsoft aren't really offering at the moment. They're basically dominating the handheld market unopposed right now, so they'll never be really screwed because they've slotted themselves into a market where they're not really competing with anyone but themselves.
Considering how PS, xbox and PC share a fuckton of multiplats while the switch and almost every other nintendo device has its own set of excusives (plus downgraded ports), then the most logical choice is to move all of those to their own board and leave the other three to discuss the games they share with each other
But this is Zig Forumsintendogaf and there's a good chunk of retarded autists defending the company to death, so it'll never happen
see
>Hnnnnnnghhh NOOOOO the Switch is winning!!!
Nintendo said Switch is already at the half way point of it's lifespan, so 3 more years until a new Nintendo
>Is Nintendo fucked?
>he posted, seething, for the fourth year in a row
Nintendo had a 428% profit increase this quarter over last year, I think they are good and so are my NTDOF shares.

whats going to be the reaction of the nintensois when they find out their gonna have to pay $300 more dollars to play their new bing bing wahoo 3d mario ?
people don't buy switch for graphics. it's literally all about the games and form factor. people buy xbox and PS for graphics, which is why we see even here a lot of people migrating to PC to get the best available graphics and framerates.
Consoles exist to be a mainstream alternative to PC gaming. PlayStation and Xbox games being on PC doesn't matter because the audience for consoles exist because they're not interested in PCs.
I dunno, what's the snoys reactions gonna be when they realize they have to pay $500 to play GTAV again?
Oh and don't forget nigger man of course
The PS1 and PS2 generations lasted five years.
lmao no. Zig Forums is for all Nintendo/Sony news and games. You take your shitposting somewhere else.
Nintendo has nothing to worry about, bro. It doesn't have competition. Let the snoys and mutts fight each other over who has the best AAA movie games. Meanwhile, Nintendo will sell actual games.
Personally if I have the money and the console seems good I might just buy it anyway since I'm not going to whine about needing new hardware. Just as long as it doesn't look like a Wii U 2
so basically retarded normies,niggers,and spics ? they are easily more cucked by the companies into buying their shit ?
There is more room for growth in hanheld devices. Technology wise at least. It's a good 'niche' to be in really.
Switch Pro WILL save 3rd party support on the system. Even if the PS5/XSX games look lower-than-low settings, at least they'll actually run on a prospective Switch Pro. Current Switch can barely run something like Witcher 3 unless it drops resolution down so low you can barely see shit. Without a mid-cycle revision to the Switch, 3rd party support on current games will all but disappear. Not a good look for Nintendo.
I'd say around 2022 we'll get a Switch Pro, and it'll likely go by one of the following monikers:
>*New* Nintendo Switch
>Nintendo Switch XL
>Super Nintendo Switch
No. All that extra power of these new consoles is going to be squandered on ray tracing, and in xbox's case, "4k 120fps". Switch will last until the end of the next generation easily.
Nintendo fanboys have always been the most cancerous shitters on Zig Forums. The rest of us don't want you here anymore than we want the Zig Forumstards and e-celeb shitters.
Really hope Super Switch. Also Wii U should have been Super Wii.
>reeeeeee nintendo and Zig Forums!!
so we really were invaded by resetera it's not a meme
The Switch's bread and butter isn't cutting-edge games anyway. Ports like those of Doom, The Witcher 3, and The Outer Worlds are just curiosities. The Switch isn't dependent on them.
This. Everybody is always like “they need to compete w/ Sony and Microsoft” or “I can’t believe they won’t put their first party stuff on sale” when there is zero reason for them to. They’re making bank and people are gobbling it up, for better or worse. No reason for them to change course now.
In USA and Europe pretty much.
In the East the Japan Flag of Famitsu Sales will turn back to the Pac Man for a few months.
the only people who are "concerned" about the switch are the same people who are also "concerned" about the xbox. we all know who they are.
