As a shareholder, I am NOT disappointed in TOTK sales.
Hell...
Im not disappointed in Mario wonder, SMRPG, Pikmin 4, etc. They ALL did very well.
Golf clap for SMRPG! I knew it would sell well.
I highly doubt this, considering they sold over 20 million copies in less than a year.I can see it tbh, they certainly won’t be happy about the sales drop off.
?????I would never call TotK a failure but it's still not reached Scarlet and Violet's opening quarter shipments. I and seemingly Nintendo expected it to be a little bigger is all.
hashtag gottemCoincidentally this chart matches my enthusiasm for the game before and after playing it.
Can you ask Nintendo to make another Advance Wars in the next meeting
i mean yeah youtube, like 95% of the internet, incentivizes clickbait but if your clickbait needs to be dramatic or negative then your content is not worth it.Then hate YouTube.
This is the kind of content that YouTube rewards nowadays.
It’s pretty annoying to me that people blame individual creators on the rise of clickbait and not the gargantuan money hungry corporation called Google that is also pushing shorts aka not-Tiktoks another form of taking advantage of small attention spans.
One TotK to rule them all, one TotK to find them, one TotK to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them!This game has broken people in ways hitherto thought to not be humanly possible.
BOTW legs are the exception not the rule
I only watched the first few minutes, but it seems they’re more or less trying to get into Nintendo’s head to guess what it is they’re probably thinking right now. They mention that, maybe because sales were only up a certain percentage after their Holiday quarter, if this was possibly a disappointment internally that it didn’t have more of a boom during their most important time of the year and when sales are the highest for them.Also I haven’t watched, but do they suggest they actually have some inside info on this or is it just an inference based on their prior history with the company?
Kit and Krysta weren't merely the hosts of Nintendo Minute. They were pretty high level members of Nintendo of America's PR team.Yep. Even when they worked at Nintendo they were basically hosts of a show. But somehow we expect to believe that two ex podcast hosts have insider information about Nintendo's expectations.
Bull.........shit
Even from this perspective it makes little to no sense. It took a pandemic & this iteration of AC to even double sales; while the last two Pokémon games haven’t cracked 30mil.Do we have any reference for what was the cost of making TOTK? If TOTK was much more expensive to make than their other projects nintendo might be disappointed in a "why make more of these when Animal Crossing and Pokemon cost a lot less to make and sell twice as many copies" way.
Why is it Google’s fault? It’s what people like to click on.This is literally just the modern era of YouTube, summed up. K&K are just following the trends.
Those who don’t aren’t going to survive in this new hyper-competitive video sharing landscape.
Thanks Google!
A lot of what carried BOTW was:i do feel totk engagement dropped off fairly quickly, i can see Nintendo being disappointed it isnt leggy and not as big of a deal as BOTW
I haven't seen a Totk ad since like a month after it's release but saw it a ton before handThey could be disappointed that ToTK doesn't have BoTW's legs, it could be true. It had a huge launch but the drop is sales was massive after the first quarter of its release. It didn't even reach the million for its first christmas. For example, I've always seen lots of TV spot for Nintendo games on TV, but ToTK, I still see almost every day a spot for ToTK, I guess they put a lot of money in the marketing, and it isn't even close to have BoTW's legs (and it has been barely 6 months), in the end. But that's just speculation, obviously.
I'd be curious to know if ToTK is as profitable as some other Nintendo games.
“why is it the fault of the multi billion dollar corporation that actively encourages it?”Why is it Google’s fault? It’s what people like to click on.
Just speaking for myself, I loved BotW but bounced hard off of TotK after two of the dungeons. For me, TotK was just Way Too Much Stuff™, and I just couldn't commit to the game. Not sure if it's because I'm getting older or because Tears had three environments to traverse, but I just couldn't muster up the energy to keep playing.i do feel totk engagement dropped off fairly quickly, i can see Nintendo being disappointed it isnt leggy and not as big of a deal as BOTW
are you serious? the video title is "why nintendo is disappointed by tears of the kingdom sales"What are we doing here in this thread? What's up with all these drive by posts using this moment to dunk on them that does not contribute to any discussion at all?
The thread title and OP is even wrong. They never made the claim that Nintendo is disappointed in TotK sales numbers. They are citing numbers that TotK sold over 18m in its first month and in the following months it only reached around 20m. And are speculating that Nintendo might be disappointed in the numbers after the launch month to the holidays.
And they are making it very clear it's them theorising and speculating. But they go mostly over why TotK sold less than BotW, without calling it disappointing.
And yeah, they have clickbait titles which is very annoying. I unsubbed a while ago, since their content didn't really grab me. But all of this has nothing to do with this actual topic.
Honestly, in my opinion this thread seems to be made in bad faith. And many posters here are just using this moment to make fun of it, without (presumably) watching the actual video. Because, again, what this thread claims, what these posters are saying and what's actually said in the video are separate things.
Can someone at least change the thread title?
Some of their insights have been interesting, episodes with ex-Nintendo staff for example. That said, the clickbait-y nature is something I am not fond off, but I also watch other YT that do the same. I just use them as background noise during exercise. Will later listen to the full video of them.im sorry but the more you guys post their content the more I'm convinced they just talk out of their ass 80% of the time.
If the title of the video is different than the actual content of the video, than having a bunch of people react purely to the title without watching the video isn't really helping anything.are you serious? the video title is "why nintendo is disappointed by tears of the kingdom sales"
well whose fault is that lolIf the title of the video is different than the actual content of the video, than having a bunch of people react purely to the title without watching the video isn't really helping anything.
