Interesting source. Reports that the systems release was delayed and 3rd parties were frustrated by it. Thought it was interesting, as it's the first time it's been reported and not just speculated on forums and social media. Could provide some interesting reception info too. It keeps cutting off before I can read it all. Not sure if it's a wonky paywall or the website struggling. Sergecross73 msg me 02:03, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ITs the paywall, but the usual archive sites have the paywall-bypassed copy. Probably should point this out at the main Nintendo article too.
Also, regarding the delay, I did previously include the reports out of Gamescom that Nintendo was not sending out SDKs and encouraging developers to make OG Switch versions, already. May be related, but can't look at it immediately. Masem (t) 04:13, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is it still too early to add "fastest selling console" yet?

[edit]

As the subject says. By most counts, this appears to be true. The last time I asked this question, I was told that it was too early. Is this still the case? Man-Man122 (talk) 18:47, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the original question: Talk:Nintendo Switch 2/Archive 1 § Fastest selling Nintendo console. Also pinging @Masem who said that it was too early.
Many sources say that it is definitely the fastest selling Nintendo console including Nintendo themselves. The sources [1], [2], and [3] say that it is the fastest selling console of all time.
Here are more recent sources I found: this source published on August 27 that suggests it being the fastest selling console in the US using a market research company. IGN posted the same kind of article on the same day. Justjourney (talk | contribs) 02:50, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I found out that the article already mentions that it is the fastest Nintendo console, but the IGN source attached to that claim doesn't say that it is the fastest of all the consoles. Justjourney (talk | contribs) 02:59, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Except for the The Verge, all those only confirm the fastest selling Nintendo console. The Verge one, citing Niko Partners, claims it is the fastest of all time. That would be fine to add it, but it would need to be attributed to Niko Partners. Masem (t) 04:55, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hardware Protections

[edit]

Nintendo, or any major hardware manufacturer for that matter, has always had the right to 'brick' or take any action against modification of said hardware written in their user agreement. There is no update, the change in the agreement was just added for clarity. 2600:8801:AF28:800:952E:295F:BFBD:D6A7 (talk) 16:50, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Gaming Consumer Rights" and "controversies"

[edit]

https://screenrant.com/activist-group-calls-for-major-switch-2-boycott/

Not proposing we add this - quite the opposite, SR is a marginal source and these complaints are frivolous- it should not be in the article. Just trying to get ahead of this, as there's already been editors bringing adding similar content, with even worse sourcing. Sergecross73 msg me 14:29, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We could still mention the criticisms for the Game Key Cards, the pricing, and Welcome Tour not being free with reliable sources? 2600:4041:528B:ED00:E89A:E914:4505:7BF6 (talk) 21:22, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All three of these are mentioned in the article already. The "Critical response" section mentions both the Game Key cards and Welcome Tour's price, and there's an entire section on "Release and pricing". ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:34, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We do mention all of those things in the article already. Sergecross73 msg me 00:02, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Everything is "non consumer friendly". Game KeyCards are no different than those Xbox releases that have a keycode on a BluRay. Maddox121 ForgotHisPassword (talk) 00:35, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
