Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Crushes PS2 To Become Fastest-Selling Console Ever

@Crecca You can still get it for $50 (or £35 in the UK) as a pack in...which I think most people opted for. Definitely what I'm opting for.

@Yosher That was one short period out of many decades, both guys used to get slated non-stop, "Iwata should step down", "Fire Reggie" and "Nintendo should go third party" were pretty much being used as punctuation marks around these parts, not forgetting "If Yamauchi was still here he would have slapped some sense into him" but at the same time there were still tons of Nintendo lawsuits and copyright strikes flying around during that very rough patch...those were strange times.

@Dr_Lugae Exactly how it played out with the Switch. Passed all their previous home consoles: “yeah but it’s a handheld! It should be judged against the 3DS. Wii doesn’t count. Lightning in a bottle. Microsoft won that gen!!!”

Passes 3DS: “yeah but it will never catch the Wii!” (even though they said it didn’t count)

Passes the Wii: “It’ll never pass the PS4!” etc etc rinse and repeat….

Gets close to the PS2: Jim Ryan magically finds a few million more PS2s in his sphincter…

It’s almost a repeat of the Switch launch, people are getting desperate in their attempts to discredit it and cast doubt along with a flurry of trolls in the comments from who knows where.

We had some clown called Sligeach on the site back then, he’d be in here looking for the tiniest little thing to say it needs a product recall, saying there’s loads on the shelves in his little backwater in Ireland, it’s just a honeymoon period etc etc.

I think he got banned about 5 times. Same tactics different product.
