.but the nes classic was the sleeper hit. no one talked about it that much, no tv ads, and they flew off shelves. surprise surprise, the people i know with dust collecting ps3s, 4s and xbox whatevers...have nes classics or expressed interest in the form of "i can't find one"/"where can i find one"


Of course. Any of my friends would play a super mario 3 etc. from the VC.

It is just not the same. Nostalgia plays a huge part in that.

They flew off shelves because they barely made any. Once again. Nintendo.

that's true and so does the fact that those games aren't big time commitments.

you can only speculate how many are out there and then it still falls on Nintendo to sell them, but i think the versatility adds to the potential mass appeal.

parents have tablets for kids with Netflix and stupid little games (which is why i think Nintendo should've had video streaming at launch, but i'm sure it's not far behind) hey...it's also a Nintendo

adults with tablets...email, web browsing, streaming...i doubt Nintendo will have an email app but they're short sighted if they don't...same for the web browsing app. They're too proud "this is a dedicated gaming device", but that's the full cross market potential. but if they do and you're going to buy a tablet...hey this one is cheaper and btw it's a fricking Nintendo

Nintendo really should've used the line "anywhere, anytime, anyway" line more because that nails the concept. that's why i think it will sell. and their ads have millennials and millennials with kids. different types of stupid millennials but it's it's not an accident

last thing i'll say is while the hardcore gaming sites were mixed on the switch reviews...the publications not dedicated to hardcore gaming and tech sites loved it, and there were several anecdotes and they involved

commutes
kids

i need to find out breesus' post from last month it was something that stuck out from a marketing strategy perspective.
