Why cant gbatemp just post sales of the switch without having to go all fanboy and compare it to another system selling not as well.
We dont care, console sales mean fuck all.
Doesnt change the fact nintendo still failed to improve and get better third party support and games.
Yea we have these very old ports, bravo, id rather have uad the hardware back then rather than gimicks and have had the option to play these games when it was new.
Not 10+years later.
yeah i remenber you saying the nintendo swtch would be a huge flop when it released 2 years ago lol, you know people love the portability and allows people to play games they wouldnt have time otherwise because they can take the switch with them to use on ocasions where you are free, like me i only used my switch docked like 3 times and played in handheld 99% of the times, getting games even if some are ports to be playable anywhere is insane not everyone has the time to be home in front of their tv for alot of hours, but one can only find like 45 min break somewhere and play some games.
Well you need to admit the switch didnt flop at all and people loved the entire concept of portability, heck if the switch 2 has atleast between ps4 and ps4 pro style graphics even if its insanely inferior to ps5/xbsx just thinking on getting games with those graphics on the go is insane, we came a long way from 3ds portable graphics to switch its amazing how stuff can be made on a tiny table screen.

"This console is so bad because it won't sell more than 150Million units (which is more than the population of many countries)"
That's the logic behind people saying it's shit because it won't outsell the ps2
lol my country only has 10 million and so people lol so yeaah even the wiiu outsold the population of my country

I have a switch that is modded and a switch lite. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in the equation. You cant compare something until you literally had all 3 gen consoles to see all of its flaws. I have all the gen consoles. Honestly just because it sells good doesn't make it a good product. The switch honestly is a glorified handheld which you can dock to the TV. Does it have good games absolutely however a good percentage of the games are remasters.
I'm not going to play the better console game because evreyone would have thier own tastes so I'm only going to talk about the capablilites. Nintendo is really far behind when it comes to online and content and even in thier hardware. Also they never really have sales I mean why is Mario kart 8 still $50-$60 and thats a 3 year old game. (Also it is a remake)
Most games that are ported to the switch are lower graphic compared to thier competitors. Hell even some games doesnt even get a switch port due to the legal/complex issues of developing it on it. The switch is like an iphone it may be good in numbers doesn't mean it's great. (I have a iphone and an android)
Despite evreything I said the switch is still an enjoyable system but if you put it next to diffrent consoles due to performance and capablities it is really behind. I personally think the system is just average. It's good for a little kid or a family but most of the games on it 9/10 times you already played it on previous consoles.
of course the switch cant have ps4/xbox levele of graphics ... your comparing a tiny console wich is only a tad heaveir than some phones to a full fledge stationary console that has 10 times the space for cpu,gpu and venting space... its like you want a a micro car to have the engine power of a hummer.
would it be possible for the switch to be on par with ps4/xboxone? probably if you used extremely high priced new tech and made it bulkier and heavier and then instead of costing 300 it would cost 1500$... and you know what? it would flop big time because no one would buy it even tough it was on par...
You need to make compromises to make stuff portable.You cant make a portable device have same graphics as a stationary device 10 times bigger and make it consumer firendly price , that isnt a thing.
