Pretty much. 90% of the outrage we see online is by people that either were never going to care about this console or that are rage baiting for clicks.Unfortunate that some valid criticism gets ignored because of it but most people hardly have the patience to deal with how abnoxious these people are
Does that negate the retarded shit you said in the first part? No it doesn't. 90%? Really? It's all just 'rage baiting for click'? If you said 10% I'd believe you.
Scalpers/bots 100% played a role, first-week numbers always get inflated by resellers hoarding stock to flip at 2x MSRP. The real test is whether sales hold up after the hardcore fans and scalpers are done feeding.
Also a sell is a sell no matter who buys it or what reason they have to buy it. I find the idea of scalpers getting into the market of reselling a videogame console nobody really wants incredibly funny too. Sure.
A scalper flipping a console isn’t a 'sale', it’s a middleman tax on actual demand. But hey, if you think empty shelves and eBay markups are signs of a healthy market, I’ve got a bridge to sell you too.
Copium is hell of a drug. Do you know what's actually "inflating" the number? The fact Nintendo doesn't seem to be having the supply issues Sony had during the PS5 launch.
Oh wow, you cracked the code! Nintendo avoiding Sony-level shortages must mean zero scalping, despite eBay listings selling for 2x MSRP within minutes. Brilliant analysis, you fucking idiot.
