  @mrpyo1 Probably won't catch up. At least not any time soon. Nintendo said they don't see the chip shortage ending any time soon so I can see Sony/Microsoft having greater issues due to the tech inside their consoles compared to Nintendo.

  @Skipp93653 I don't wanna be a Negative Nancy, but if that's the case, that kinda ain't great either. If Nintendo thinks Metroid has a ceiling of 3 million, that also doesn't bode well for the series' future. A low ceiling would mean the franchise itself is the problem (I hope it's not).

  @ShadyLaVa @NintendoAmerica @IndieWorldNA Its easily one of the most overrated games of the current era. However if it seems interesting you will most likely enjoy it. Issue is its long as hell, and 85% of your time is spent going back and forth between hallways you have already been in.

  @Delta_Insanity @JonComms The controllers don’t always drift and when they do it usually takes at least a year for that to happen And depending on where you live there might be a repair centre that you can send the broken controllers to for free it’s a Nintendo offered service that takes like 2 weeks

  @wootton120 Free updates are a lazy way for Nintendo to "fix" games. They should have unlockables instead of the absolute trash that is the "fix it later" approach. Either they give us enough content at launch or just delay the game until there's enough content to justify the price of $60.

  @vgmobster Yeah but I know my Nintendo Wii U is still in heaven now & I’m still heart broken from 2020 😔💔 & I got a chance to play super Mario galaxy 2 the first time but I feel bad that I haven’t played the other games yet 2020 missed up big time 😔

  @TRushdown And they'll wait more. Nintendo sucks at Game preservation and are going backwards by replacing Virtual Console with some Rent-A-Game service.

  @LemmyFan123 Let's not call this revenge... By Nintendo not adding her, this is causing the Daisy and Waluigi fans to argue further. Daisy's still gonna be in. But if she is to be added through any means of updates, this is proving a major issue with how Nintendo adds content these days.

  @jenn_raye I guess Nintendo being aggressively litigious doesn't necessarily mean their lawyers are good, it just means they have a lot of money to throw at their problems and tend to target people who don't have the finances to contest them.

• 
  VoidNathan (@VoidedTerms) reported 30 minutes ago

  Not gonna lie, I'd think it'd be much better if people worded their "fix it later" rants as "throw it in later" rants. Because that's what Nintendo does with their games; throw in content planned months in advance into their games at a later date.

  @naigally @SpawnWaveMedia @RGT_85 It will probably happen! The problem is that Nintendo only presents specific numbers for "million sellers" in their report, so we may not have official confirmation that it reached 3M

  @neilrao their bigger issue is they're looking at being forced into some sort of architecture switch; nvidia would probably play ball and make custom silicon for nintendo, but they don't make that kind of chip anymore, focusing more on in-car AI/display stuff now

  @Qhj @GJR78 I think nintendo is trying to replicate the splatoon success or try games as a service model with its mario mp games and not succeeding as well, the only game i think they could get away with it is mario kart

  @Polygon Problem Nintendo is going to face is that they will have to wait for 2nd hand chips. Putting themselves even further behind in production.

  @Ashuraman666 Got my switch like a month or so after launch. It was a return, but not for any system issues. Honestly, I’m really considering it But I might hold off just until I can get a second switch Still holding out for Nintendo to announce a Switch Pro within the year 😔

  @MarioSonicPro1 The problem here is takes like the first two is why take 3 is even relevant. They hated Sonic being cool and having good stories, the wanted everything to be childish, and now all of a sudden Sonic needs to be handed over to Hollywood, and before then it was Nintendo

  @THEREALRTU It’s funny and sad that within the span of a month Sony, Nintendo, AND Microsoft have had either a weird glitch (which I hope is fixed for Sony) or an outage.

  @Wario64 Bought the original of this. Right bumper stopped working after a week. Nintendo never would fix it. Was pretty annoyed. Looks cool on my shelf though.

  @LionCyH I don't think Sony going be around much longer they might end up as a 3rd party like Sega did. Also Nintendo and Microsoft are having problems behind the scenes. This generation or next might be the last console generation. Everything going to move PC and mostly made by indies

• 
  Lion Thongchat (ライオン/ไลอ้อน) (@LionCyH) reported 51 minutes ago

  @MojyoTakahashi The biggest problem for Sony would be their exclusives were mostly movie based games. Those cost a lot of money an there lack of variety to what Nintendo and Microsoft offered, Net profits won’t be enough to expand the market.

  Raidori (@Raidori4) reported 52 minutes ago

  @Ashen_Jedi Probably it is that monster hunter came out as an exclusive and the publicity of it was totally from nintendo so it may be due to that, a contract issue

• 
  Ryan Malis (@NayrmanBSC) reported 52 minutes ago

  So, yeah, its never a sales, developer, or ideas thing. Its just Nintendo doesn't want to even license it out which is the biggest problem. No one on the corporate ladder wants to give it the ok for some baffling reason.

  @Shadewing Yeah I was excited for this game too but sales will probably be good but not great unlike movies video games have the excuse on why they’re making less games it’s because they’ll be suffering chip shortages until the end of 2024 Nintendo is also having component problems

  @Shpeshal_Nick Sony is now experiencing a variation of the problem that limited Nintendo's revenue during the Wii U era. They had software with terrific attach rates but a low installed base of the platform, which is why so many Wii U games got a second life on the Switch.
