Even then, 16m won't be a problem.
I agree however that the DPP remakes release date will have a significant impact on whether the games reach 20m or not.
Even then, 16m won't be a problem.
It's not irrelevant at all, I'm not even sure why you said this. I'm talking about software built for joy cons and portable local multiplayer, neither of those require a tv and both are very large selling points for the system
The PS5 will probably be so expensive it will make the current price of the switch look like even more of a deal.
I've seen that data and it's still used and the last update was a while ago. Yes but Smash brothers does the other biggest game on the system and the game one of the games most suited towards that style of play. That popular namco fishing game required you to use the joy cons (before they updated it) and as can be seen a again and again a number of the break out new IP hits within Japan actually use the Joy con. Do you they all only play those games at home on their TV and that's it?
I'm stating it's one of the reasons, mainly the capability to use the joycons regardless where you use it. Software like Ring fit link into this it's not something that can be considered separate since you need joycons to be play the game amongst many others.So you're suggesting that not docked mode, not Ring Fit, but tabletop mode is the primary reason why the standard Switch is substantially outselling the Lite? This is a serious question because I want to be on the same page btw.
Even awhile ago, it's still the only hard data we have other than 'have seen this'.
Lot of the games you named can be played without Joy Cons and most of heavy hitting games in Japan don't used them either. As for Smash, this is the same country who ate up Smash for the 3DS compared to the rest of the world.
Likely higher, but remember that this is the second go around of P5 on the PS4, whereas Golden was the first for the Vita. Not exactly directly comparable.
Squeezing another 220k retail copies of the RPG on the same system is already nuts.
Oh wow. So mostly a slight difference overall.01./00. [PSV] Persona 4 Golden <RPG> (Atlus) {2012.06.14} (¥7.329) - 152.499 / NEW

To be honest, it'll be hard to top Sun/Moon's massive initial shipment. I wouldn't be surprised if SWSH's first quarter was lower, but with much better legs in the following updates.Pokémon Sword/Shield will easy have the biggest initial shipments of any Switch game so far, that had to be expected even by just watching the numbers of the most recent Pokémon games.
Sold through is what really matter, if you watch Sun/Moon it only shipped 1.5 million after the first quarter because it was massively overshipped.

The fishing game was updated afterwards, Labo can't, Ring fit can't, 1-2 switch I'm not sure about, Mario party you need for multiplayer etc. this isn't a small number of unpopular titles we're talking about.

I don't think that S/M was that much overshipped. However software numbers on 3DS in 2017 were meh and US/UM got announced at the begining of June.Pokémon Sword/Shield will easy have the biggest initial shipments of any Switch game so far, that had to be expected even by just watching the numbers of the most recent Pokémon games.

Ah, sorry, misread! In that case, agreed. :)Oh but i agree there, i said biggest Switch launch not biggest Pokémon game, basically it should easy ship more than Smash Ultimate (12.08m first month)
Ultra Sun/Moon was around 1000 pts right? Not bad at all for Sword/Shield.ComG final Pokémon Sword/Shield preorders - 766 pts
ComG final Pokémon Let's Go preorders - 276 pts
Comparisons between system is always tricky.Ultra Sun/Moon was around 1000 pts right? Not bad at all for Sword/Shield.

Yep :pHoly shit. I just looked at the sales...
The game apparently sold 13 million in 2016, which mean it wasn't even overshipped... Dude i didn't realized legs REALLY crushed that much lmao.
Never again!
if only they had more games to publish...

No talk about the recent Xbox pickups? They're all old games (FFXIV, KH1.5/2.5/2.8, Yakuza 0/K1/K2) but pretty notable releases all the same. Also all stuff that should reasonably be headed to Switch too but apparently isn't.
The new Fortnite bundle on Switch outselling PS4 6:1 is a surprise. I wonder if this is why Netease prioritized the platform for Knives Out first even though the PS4 version was announced over a year ago now? Bluehole should hurry up with PUBG or let Tencent port their mobile version.
Nagoshi seems to still hold a grudge against Nintendo with Yakuza.
KH remasters feel like a matter of time thing, though the fact it wasn't announced for switch after the xbox event is quite telling
