Thanks Ridleyslayer for the tip!
and they don’t have the money for online gg Nintendo
they do but do you have the money for online?
I have the money, doesn’t mean I want to spent it though.
P2. Have to admit, I expected better Switch hardware sales. Production restraints are a killer. The situation has to improve a good deal if Nintendo still expects to sell 10 million units this year.
It’s hard to complain though when they’re doing so well. Operating profit overshot estimates by about 40%, and was about ¥21 billion greater than the same period last year.
You expected better switch hardware sells. You was wrong
You expected worse Splatoon sells, You was wrong
You though i am a troll. You was wrong (more or less :P)
You should punish yourself somehow for the sake of justice (or just give me your Switch ID for splatoon turf matches :P)
LOL. The Splatoon prediction was a fluke. I simply didn’t look into the matter enough to make a proper call. I admit I shouldn’t have ever made that call with the limited information I had.
As for my Switch hardware prediction, it was actually on point. Like a month and a half ago, I think I called 4.5 – 5 million total sales by the end of June. Can’t remember the article I said it in. I was being a bit conservative though. I was actually hoping for at least 5 mil. I just didn’t expect production to be such an issue.
As for my Switch id, I’ll send it over when I get home later. Don’t know it off the top of my head.

thx for the accepting. Time to play splat!
Sammus2 is my name
You’re pretty good with that blaster. I hate those things lol. I’ve got a bit to go before I can get some good gear. I only just started playing yesterday, and am still using the basic weapons and armor.
I was having some connection problems too, but I thought it was just my wifi.
i never got dc on splatoon during the match.
Many times i get dc when the game is trying to join on a team.
i know you got it yesterday i saw it on your profile.
I notice your internet problems too cause i saw you offline after the game and you get no points.
I play 400 hours on splatoon 1 and yet i used blaster for first time ever just yesterday.
My main weapon is Gal 96
Yeah I was playing on handheld using wifi. My router is in the basement and the signal doesn’t reach the entire house. In fact the Switch can barely get a signal in the room I have the dock set up in. I’m waiting for my ethernet adapter to come in. Should be here in a few days, so things should be better after that.
My main is the aerospray. The speed suits me. I’ve been experimenting with different weapons though, trying to find the best ones for each map.
You realy need to make lan connectionn with the switch :p
Ethernet adapter just arrived in the mail. I’m hooked up and ready to go.
Hey. I was thinking of setting up a discord channel so that it’ll be easier to talk to other players in Splatoon. Are you interested?
yes but i dont know what exactly is that channel. You mean on the phone app? cause i dont use it yet
Yeah there’s a phone app. If you create an account, I can send you an invite to the channel.
my adroid phone is old and cant handle the applications. i cant download it :P
it is 4.1.1 android while the
Requires Android 4.4 and up :(
Man that sucks. I didn’t know that would be a problem. You can always just use it on pc if that’s a possibility
i dont think this app can be used on pc. and if this is a possibility i dont know how :P
Well my little bro will come from the army on 10days and i will use hes phone when need it
LMAOSH- always the strategy guy who will go like commando on enemy base and putting teleports and assasinating the enemy team :P

Lol totally agree. I was telling LMAO last night, you’re deadly with that bucket.
There is also a nice PC app if you hate smartphones like me.

The lobby won’t connect to the internet for some reason 😣
oh wait..same for me….im just trying that right now
Hmmm maybe the servers are down for maintenance?
oh man.. i just tried ARMS..and i cant connect there to.
Yeah mk8 didn’t connect to the internet either. Nintendo servers exploded from too many people playing Splatoon I guess.
https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/network/en_na/network_status.jsp
what about that
Idk but now the switch is actually giving me a message saying that the server is currently undergoing maintenance
i like your gamestyle. You always trying to sneak on enemy base and put these teleports. While me im always trying to play more defence not painting to much and focus on kills. i need you in my team. but most times by like you move on the enemy team :P
haha yeah I like trying to keep the enemy in their spawn if I can, GG’s this morning, I had to go to work. You’re brutal with that heavy splatling!
on the screen just left from the coins there is a purple face dude (from splat1) and the number 000. What the heck is that is something for the lvl 30?
Go talk to Judd the cat. HE’ll give you a super sew snail

i just though it was my switch fault thx for telling me its general then
I’m going to try to play mk8d and see if that works
this is sony fuckers who hacked nintendo i bet :P
lol you never know 😂
If they increase stock soon, then I have no doubts that the Switch will outsell the Wii U by the end of it’s second full year.
Without a doubt. I’d like to see it outsell Wii U by as early as next July. Just have to wait and see if production picks up significantly.
Nintendo expected Switch to sell 10 million units by the end of the first fiscal year, not calendar year. Basically, the end of the first Switch fiscal year will be March 31st, so the same month it launched. It came at the end of the first quarter, so it’s VERY possible for Switch to do so. 4.7 million total sales is marked at June 30th. Splatoon 2 just came out, you can guarantee Switch sales by the end of July will be plenty past 5 million. Possibly at 5.5 million. That’s 5 months of sales totalling over 5 million, with 5 more months left in 2017, Christmas 2017 and then 3 months in 2018 to sell 4.5-5 million units.
As long as supply is there, it WILL hit 10 million in its first fiscal year, like they want. Heck, if Nintendo manages to put 14 million Switch units on the shelf by March 3, 2018, it WILL outsell the Wii U within its first year. Christmas, Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, Rocket League, Sonic Forces, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and more, would make this happen, if the units are there to purchase.
No. Nintendo said they expected to sell 10 million units for the 2017 fiscal year. The Switch’s first fiscal year ended March 31st, 2017. That means that by March 31st, 2018, they expect total sales to be at least 12.74 million (2.74 last fiscal year + 10 this fiscal year)
They sold 1.97 million in the first quarter. They’re a quarter of the way through the year and they’ve only sold a fifth of what they’re projecting.
I think it’s still possible for them to hit their goal, but like I said, the production situation has to improve.
Pretty sure they weren’t bleeding money before. Either way it’s higher profits now so that’s good for them.
Is good but is bad because the demand is to high in Usa and Japan that it could sell even more than that
they need more stock!!! so this don’t happen again on Christmas
I’m glad that so many people out there are finding something fun to play on the Switch. My Switch has been collecting dust ever since I defeated Calamity Ganon in Breath Of The Wild. Then again, ALL of my consoles are collecting dust lately. I’m always too engrossed with editing home videos on my computer to even have time to play anything. But my time will come again. Probably not until October though, unless I decide to go back and play the BOTW DLC I downloaded.
But I’m going to have a hard time choosing which game to play first in October. Super Mario Odyssey, or Assassin’s Creed Origins on my PS4? Hmm…..
I’m curious. You seem adamant about pushing your distaste for the Switch so far. What are you looking for here? Discussion? Debate?
I was thinking exactly the same..
I’m not looking for anything. I’m just posting my opinions and thoughts because that’s what a comment section is for. Also because I don’t have a single person to talk to (in my family) about video games. I live in a family of deadbeets.
Ah ok. I don’t have many people to talk to about games either. All my friends live far away and nobody takes Nintendo fans seriously anyway, which is some bullshit. Either way personally I love my Switch. My biggest complaints are minor gripes.
||Revenge is ours…||
But it is not yet complete, Your Grace…
||It never will be until we dominate once again, but my main objective will be complete once the Xbots are history and then oblivion…||
Good, now they can end the freemium bull.
And bring back physical rewards to MyNintendo.
Good for you Nintendo!
well done Nintendo.
Now increase your profits and fire Reggie.
Nintendo wouldn’t be Nintendo without Reggie so no
How would firing Reggie increase profits? The guy makes almost no real decisions.
All reggie does is oversee operations of nintendo in america,he has nothing to do with game development.
More blind Reggie hate.
Does this mean the Switch has already sold 4m units?
4.71 mil by the end of June.
2M for Q1 is okay, but the demand is so much higher. If they don’t do better in Q2 and Q3, they won’t reach their goal of 10M in 2017.
“Nintendo is irrelevant.”
“Nintendo is doomed” – Some rando kid on the internet
They’d be making even more money if they stocked amiibo better. Also if they kept selling NES Mini/Classics, too, since it seems there is still demand for it.
