What a dishonest and nasty guy. He discourages people buying a ps5.

a reference to this thread.

Switch outselling Wii and PS1 is expected.

The real question is if it can outsell the Nintendo DS and PS2.

 

[JimboJones]

How is that boasting?

 

[Con-Z-epT]

I miss him. Especially the banter between him and Healey.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Draws a pension from Nintendo so still on the payroll I suppose.

 

[Coolwhhip]

He is tweeting positively about his previous employer? What a monster. CANCEL HIM!

Twitter should add a "Cancel" button on profiles by the way.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Pointless poll. Whether it sold 101 or 103 million is irrelevant. The sales are spectacular either way.

 

[SantaC]

Nice boasting Reggie but you were also responsible for wii u and also refused to localize Xenoblade for the west.

 

[Doom85]

Nice boasting Reggie but you were also responsible for wii u.

Do you genuinely believe Reggie, who was in charge of Nintendo’s North American branch, had that much, if any, say on what the Wii U turned out to be?

 

[darrylgorn]

A lot of Nintendo's best games came from Wii U.

Even the switch is based on the Wii U concept.

Considering how close he was with iwata and Japan brass; yes.

 

[BigBooper]

I kinda miss the big new yorker.

 

[Ezquimacore]

Reggie is GOAT, while you're not, OP.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I don't see this as boasting. More like the OP is triggered the Switch is passing 100 mill, on track to be the best selling console of all time. Reggie was also involved in the early days of Switch, helping to promote it and showcase it around US. It sounds more like he's proud of his baby. Get over yourself OP.

Sounds like a you thing.

...yeah. He was the executive for the most financially important market the company has. That's a guy with sway and say. You don't put someone in that position who you're not going to listen to.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

I think we really need the likes of him back. Phil is gamer-wannabe with sleazy attitude, Jim Ryan is your stereotype corporate villain. Also, who's the fuck at Nintendo now? We need the likes of Kaz and Reggie back, also that crazy salesman that help the PS3 comeback, Kevin Butler.

He's still nad that the switch was the best selling console in the December npd, you want smug see his coxksure predictions that the switch would be a distant 3rd

Oh boy here we go again lol. You guys are obsessed with execs.

Wtat has any of these dudes done to deserve your nerd ire?

 

[KungFucius]

How is that boasting?

When you are a deluded console fanboy, any mention of a competing system in a positive light is offensive.

Switch outselling Wii and PS1 is expected.

The real question is if it can outsell the Nintendo DS and PS2.

With no Switch Pro/2 in the next 2 years and the original Switch sold as the entry level machine to replace the 3DS for kids in the next years, I think it is feasible.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Since they have no more home console, it’s just ok. But at leat, Nintendo is save for the next decade.

 

[Nautilus]

Why is it cringe?Reggie worked 15+ years inside Nintendo, and its clearly proud of that.

So seeing Nintendo succesful again, even after he left there, makes him happy.

 

[leo-j]

Nah, switch sales are already down YOY. It’s also trailing the DS in aligned sales.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

When you're Reggie you get to be smug, the man is a legend.

 

[wipeout364]

I can’t stand Reggie he always seemed like such corporate douche. I always picture home walking around saying “yes sir, right away sir, anything you want sir” to his masters in Japan.

Not sure why this tweet is a big deal though. It just more Reggie bootlicking, totally in character.
