sorry arms. I guess that's why it was cut short.


wait....you're telling me Mario + Rabbids isn't above 1.06 million?
Or any other game? Like bomberman or snipperclips or Pokken or whatever?


that's...weird

Mario and Rabbids was distributed by Ubisoft everywhere but Japan.
Also, I think this confirms the analyst's predictions.

Wii U did so poorly, some gaffers couldn't believe I owned 2 lol.

Good for Nintendo, I like seeing all this positive news about games and consoles doing well. When niche stuff like xenoblade and persona do millions I'm glad AF for Japanese devs as a whole.

Also Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is close to outselling Wii U version

Mario Kart 7 is the 3DS top selling title. Isn't that new, I thought it was Pokemon X &Y.

Switch HW sales are impressive but it's hard to comprehend how well Mario is selling. That attach rate is pretty much unprecedented.

I hope this gets them to basically port the entire Wii U library to Switch, especially Smash. I like the Switch pro controller lol.

This is awesome. I hope Nintendo fixes their account rewards and online system (lol).

BotW is at 6.7 on Switch alone, so it's well over 7 million total now, possibly past 8 million.
