Do you think the Switch can sustain its momentum?

DF has already taken a first look at DOOM, they were fairly impressed even though it's only running at 30 fps (entirely expected, people who were hoping for 60 were being unrealistically optimistic).

Per topic, if things continue as they are, yes they'll be able to continue the momentum. I'd be a bit more pessimistic had the streamlining of their studios and a management re-shifting not occurred in the period before the Switch's arrival. All's looking great so far, and I'm going to be fairly disappointed if this system turns into another Nintendo exclusive platform plagued with droughts. Those third party games need to sell, because for as good as Nintendo is, they only have so many resources and need third parties to fill in the blanks whenever possible.

Nintendo tried that with the WiiU, assuming it would be a success, and it ended up being a lot of sunken costs as they had to hold onto a lot of unsold hardware, a cost which can be high, and is probably higher for someone like Nintendo than MS or Sony, who might have better infrastructure for that. That made the WiiU a better seller earlier on than the Switch was, but if Nintendo could have foreseen the incredible demand for the Switch of course they would have launched with more units. They have seen companies like Sega get in trouble by risk taking, and they will likely be conservative from now on.

The biggest evidence against what you are saying is that the Switch is now projected to sell far more units in its first year than anyone predicted before it launched. You'd have a point if it were sold out everywhere and the userbase was only 4 million

You're talking to a cow that goes moo with your logic, ignore him, because he'll get the last laugh when the Switch outsells the PS4 this holiday

Yes... Mario alone will keep it going for awhile. And a price drop will do wonders for it. It'll sell 50-60 million before a new model comes out in 4 years.

Can you stop attacking everyone that having a different opinion or point of view than you ? What does he say so bad or wrong ? @GunSmith1_basic@stuff238 dont give up. Go on , have your debate.

If all of you sheep or any fanboy is so sensitive shouldnt making topics in System wars in the first place . All of you making threads in here for a reason and we all know what reason is this. So stop being aggressive and then asking for reports if someone talks back in the same way. You are the ones making those topics in here in the first place.

Since you making topics in System wars you are expecting different opinions than yours so stop crying.

Different opinion? How about using a fallacy to discredit why the Switch is selling?

Well , we are in system wars , what do you expect ? Also you making topics in system wars instead of Nintendo fan club about Switch selling , Switch is this , that ... why here and not in official Gamespot subforum ... We all know why , just let em be. Besides you can tell he is trolling hard.

They have plenty of games to draw from. They have a confirmed main entry Fire Emblem game coming, a main series Pokemon game etc.,. They can shift their handheld IPs over easily.

If they decide to launch a successor to the 3DS I could see that dropping their momentum however. Hopefully the Switch is it, with them combining all their efforts into a single platform.

There is no reason why they couldn't launch a new 2D Zelda on the Switch etc., either.

Honestly look at the 3DS library, if Switch ends up getting that support plus console level support they will hold the momentum.

Impossible without external force.

A mainline Pokemon Game is coming for the Switch so yes it will maintain.

Ask me after the holidays. I'm generally not impressed with mine, but I'm an out-of-touch looney who plays more PC games than is healthy, so I don't trust my opinion in making broad declarations.

YEP. Once a console gets this sort of momentum, the install base keeps growing and devs keep supporting. Also YOSHI, Metroid Prime 4 and POKEMON is coming to Switch next year. That in mind, combined with the crazy additional sales Mario will create from the October entry etc - It's gona be gooood

@aki2017: I don't think Pokemon and Metroid Prime 4 will come out next year. :/

@jumpaction: I'm choosing to be ignorant of Nintendo's tendency to delay games a bunch of times and hoping FOR ONCE - a game will come out when it should hahaha
