Sealed Collecting; where's the joy come from???

AFAIK, Nintendo has never been the top dog in Europe, so I guess it's pretty natural that it's new console is having a hard time there.

Maybe legalized prostitution is taking priority over Mario?

+1 Sega dominated the EU market, starting with Master System then Mega Drive, PS and Dreamcast .. N64/Gamecube were nowhere near.

I much rather have the reduced criminality because of legalized prostitution than people carrying guns everywhere and shooting up schools.

the wii was selling very well though in europe, as well as the ds and the gameboy (advance) so it's not true that nintendo was nothing in europe. they were almost nothing in the 80s and 90s, because of sega and commodore, but after that they took off reasonably.

Over half of the American voting population didn't vote for Drumpf. Perhaps you should quit being such an ignorant prick, and stop giving Hollanders a bad name.

both DS and GBA are late Gen consoles(also PSP dominated the handheld console market in 00s). also they both are handheld ones.. The thing is that Switch is not just a handheld anymore and that's exactly what's causing a confusion for most of the people. I think Nintendo failed with the content marketing strategy.. in fact there was no content marketing strategy.. you gotta educate people when it comes to new experiences.

I'm not a hollander and I guess the truth hurts to be ruled by an imbecile. there are no excuses. this is nothing dutch or anything but good luck finding any european head of state with an i.q. as low as trump or george w bish have.

I don't think anybody got confused over the idea of a console that's both for TV and handheld. The problem is that at first it seemed like it was going to be an otherwise traditional console (which is exactly what people wanted), and now they're trying to treat it like the new Wii and focusing way too hard on promoting the motion controls aspect. I wonder how many people they're alienating by doing that.

1-2-Switch shouldn't have existed. It's not even the Switch equivalent to Wii Sports, but to Wii Play (・＿・) (if it was more like Wii Sports then it may have more appeal, it's pretty much what pushed the Wii like crazy alongside Wii Fit)

You really are coming off too headstrong there, buddy. You're basically attacking an entire nation. You should calm down.

Also, the fact that you can't distinguish Trump's and Bush's IQs (or even spell "Bush"; nor have the sense to capitalize proper nouns) says more about your own IQ.

no it says more about my lack of typing and my laziness which I will wholeheartedly admit I have. because that's what intelligent people do they know their strengths AND shortcomings.

the fact you feel personally attacked says more about your ego and your nationalistic feelings then about me.

Seeing how the word "I" or "me" was never used during that statement makes your mockery invalid and downright shallow. That you choose to call yourself "intelligent" because you feel you can take back your purposeful laziness and shortcomings just makes you arrogant and not the least bit "intelligent".

The joy in sealed collecting comes from knowing that you're better than everybody else.

How about we stick to the topic and drop the insults, yes?
