Tender Bender posted:That's fair, but I don't think it's reasonable to just claim that most of the sold out run is scalpers with no evidence. Oh totally agree, which is why I believe that may be the case, but also stated I have no evidence and it would be nice to see the numbers. (Which are basically impossible to gauge I would think)

XyrlocShammypants posted:I called my local GameStop recently and the guy said that there were people that show up everyday to see if a switch came in their daily shipment. To suggest there is no demand and it's just scalper derived sales is insane. People want this and they will want it more when Xbox and PlayStation bore everyone at E3 and even more still once Mario etc comes out. Did you hear there's a new Xbox and it has the most graphics?

Gamers: It's bullshit I can't buy a Switch! Damnit Nintendo quit artificially creating shortages! Nintendo: We will double production so everyone can buy one! Gamers: What the gently caress is wrong with Nintendo? Doubling production, what are they stupid? They'll never sell that many!

Utnayan posted:Ok if that happened with Cross play functionality across platforms, I may even consider getting a switch for the portablility and playing rocket league on the go. Even if there isn't cross play it would probably be worth getting. If Nintendo isn't showing up at Psyonix with a big briefcase full of money they're idiots. I think the holdup is that it's an Unreal Engine 3 game and I don't know if a small developer could port that kind of game to the Switch or not. They may have to rebuild everything in UE4.

parallelodad posted:Did you hear there's a new Xbox and it has the most graphics? It's a great strategy they have trying to outdo each other for the title of "shittier than a PC but at least closer to the real thing than the competition!" I like that the Switch doesn't really directly compete with them in that regard because it's the standard Android "so many RAMs" drivel we hear year and in and year out

Why even factor in scalpers? The poor doh-dohs who have to resort to a scalper buy are still buying a Switch -- that's a sale. Even for the shittiest of scalper trash who have to return some/all of their unflipped consoles, I'm willing to bet those account for less than 1% of units sold.

There is a difference between accurately predicting demand with 8 million units (Which would make sense) and have more than enough supply for everyone in the coming fiscal year, than doubling that to 16 million and having oversupply and having an opinion that could be a bad decision. Especially when they made the same mistake with the Gamecube, Wii U, and 3DS.

I dunno the new Sonic game just doesn't do anything for me. The issue is fundamentally the gameplay is pretty one dimensional. Mario was able to go 3-D because the gameplay was a natural progression from the SNES but Sonic's hold direction and go FAST doesn't leave a lot of space to expand outside of like those run games like you find on phones. I could very well be wrong!

To them the costs of inventory could be less than the savings from increasing the order, while giving them more flexibility on shipping. The SoC may have just dropped in price. The only people who know any of that are a bunch of 70 year old Japanese men.

I had the same experience with World of Goo, but I swear last week I bought Blaster Master Zero from work and when I got home and woke my system it appeared instantly. Maybe it was that small a download. ^^^That's fuckin weird dude. Are you I?
