Nah, I don’t think this is a valid comparison.
Not arguing that fact, just saying that handheld consoles that are 80% fragile led screen being replaced after being dropped by kids would logically be a noticeable portion of their total sales.
This generation has produced the most sour grapes I've ever seen, it's pathetic how these people feel threatened over a vidya company being successful.
This is completely retarded. It's not the red ring of death. If people were having trouble with the screens, it would have been all over social media. People are buying it because it's popular.
I’m not saying there’s some defect with the console, I’m saying that the thing that plays videogames that can fit in a kid’s backpack and costs less than half what the other consoles does and is the go-to pick for younger kids understandably gets damaged by those kids and in turn gets replaced.
Is this the Zelda Cycle?
Someone clearly never had a ds lite. I've seen joycons break, but I've never seen an actual switch break.
Talking about how much you love your modded 3DS (which half this thread also has) isn’t doing you any favors in proving how much you totally don’t care about Nintendo.
It seems more durable than DS/3DS with the hinge that broke by looking at it wrong. Also I personally bought a half-dozen 3DSes by the end of its life due to new revisions & cool limited edition consoles...
I mean I’ve never broken the screen on either of mine, but I can reasonably predict what would happen if I dropped it down a flight of stairs or on the concrete at the playground like a child might. Not to powerlevel, but my last wagie job involved hawking the things and with no exaggeration at least a third of sales involved a parent having a conversation with a 7 year old about taking better care of this one.
I know the DSlite I bought my sister had its hinge break, but I was exclusively pc gaming during the DS’s lifespan so I dont have much experience to compare it with the Switch. My last handheld was the original GBA which you could bounce off the concrete and continue your game without issue.
Do it. Legit one of the only games I'd call a 10/10.
You really should. Bowser’s Inside Story is generally considered the best, but Superstar Saga is also a fan favorite. The 3DS remake is better in some ways and worse in others, so play whatever is most convenient to you.
I’ve seen someone (I think it was Maximillian Dood?) say of course EVO would get excited, but revealing it in a Direct is better for the casual crowd. Fighting game fans are gonna get hyped regardless.
Evo is owned by sony and sony only cares about gwaffix and 200gb download sizes, not gameplay and definitely not anything with pixel art.
Well, you can look at mine. Despite practically living in my dock, the fan went bad and had to be replaced after 4 years or anything more demanding than Picross would cause it to overheat and shut down.
By "living in my dock" do you mean it was always exposed to the outside? Sounds like a dust or humidity problem. This is why I always put my consoles into plastic boxes.
He means he stored his Switch in his butt.
out of curiosity, did you forget that the Switch (not the Switch Lite) came with a dock that lets it connect to a tv?
If it's always connected to the TV all day long 24/7, don't expect it to last long.
