      Only Nintendo haters are predicting it to fail.
      They've been doing it with every system since the standard DS.

          Dumb time for that sort of theory to be made with a new Pokemon game just coming out. Pokemon games' releases have traditionally equaled big handheld sales for Nintendo IIRC.

              Lol no, I said the 3DS hasn't sold as well as the DS, and the Switch won't sell as well as the 3DS. You don't know the power of the crowded ass trains and sh!t in Japan. No one there will be holding no 10 inch monster things on the subway, unless it's mah cock ;3.

                    I think it's pretty funny that you think it's necessary to explain that Japan, a single country, is smaller than two continents.

                      It is p. necessary considering Japan is a massive market where the NES, 3DS, Vita, and Saturn sold more than in NA or Europe.

                                Prolly worth saying though that the PS2 sold the lowest in Japan out of the other main regions by less than half, the PS2 still outsold the 3DS in totality by about 2.5 times, and the DS outsold the 3DS by nearly the same. Considering the 3DS was a lot better than the DS and yet still couldn't pull even half the sales, I seriously doubt the Switch is going to do very well comparably. It's sacrificing too much portability to serve as a direct 3DS successor, the portable gaming market is clearly disappearing as a whole (replaced largely by phones, especially in Asia) and console-wise it isn't much different than the Wii U, which we already know sold like complete sh!t.
                                Still predicting an epic Switch failure.

                                  It's worth saying that one country has lower sales compared to two continents? Sure.

                                    Yes it's worth adding context to the things you say.

                                        Essentially you're saying that it should be common sense that things sell less in Japan because Japan has a smaller population than two continents.
                                        Looks at NES, 3DS, Saturn, and Vita sales
                                        Oops looks like you're not as smart an ass as you thought. For further context, the PS2 sold the worst in Japan vs the other regions yet the 3DS sold the best in Japan vs the other regions, which also skews the implications of your OP. There's a reason Japan gets its own region, and again, there's a reason I stated the facts I did to add proper context.

                                          Oh, wow, you're actually going forward with this nonsense.
                                          The NES sold quite a bit more in North American than in Japan. The 3DS is clearly an outlier considering that the trend favours what I've already said. And two dead consoles, one of which has a pretty unreliable sales figures (Vita sales went from ~4-5 million in 2013 to about ten million in one day because Sony just lumped all of its sales data into one category).
