More people are asking "will they or won't they" for this than they were for Ross and Rachel.
Super Mario Odyssey had around 1.5m difference at the end of last year (from what I remember).
Era preferred to sleep on that game really and yet it's the best the series has made in years.
I guess Nintendo had a smashing success this time around.
that's par for the course for games who's appeal extends well beyond the gaming internet sphere
Nintendo sell-through data leave out many territories, even in Europe. They are basically JP, NA and most countries in EU. Only digital sales are complete.
not according to the latest numbers, but it has already passed it for sure, we just need to wait for new numbers
odyssey 12.17M
galaxy 12.78M
Tbh, it was not as bad as the wii u, the 3d gimmick was interesting to the public at first, the price got slashed to $170 , eventually everybody knew it was a new system, and software wise Nintendo supported it very well.also 3ds was the last SD console so many japanese developers supported it because it meant cheaper dev costs
Plus the name works, 3DS
The crazy thing is I think the Nintendo Switch will own the NPD each month in 2019. I mean the momentum of Smash and Let's Go will carry on well into 2019 and we a ridiculous amount of high profile games coming AND the Switch revision.
Honestly, even the 18 millions which I predicted would be very impressive given their paltry lineup for the bulk of 2018. The Switch has a crazy potential from a hardware point of view. It's a machine that literally makes some people want to play games they wouldn't otherwise. I mean, I bought fucking Astro Bears Party yesterday and had great fun with my girlfriend (and it was 1 euro, but well...).
I wouldn't say this is certain at all. People said that for this year and look what happened.
Having fun with girlfriend is priceless.
Try Snipperclips if you haven't.
The Americas Q3 2017: 2.83M
USA NPD 2017 (Oct 290K, Nov 780K, Dec 1.5m): 2.57M
Japan Q3 2017: 1.77M
Japan MediaCreate 2017 (Oct , Nov, Dec): 1.52M
But in 2017 switch was supply constrained so this year the difference might be bigger.
In my console since the first month. One of the best "casual" experience I've seen, far superior to the mediocre 1-2 Switch.
Seconded. Super Mario Party is great. Already had so much fun with the game.
There's no reason it should not. PS4 and XB1 are in their final years and SW is in its peak years (2&3).
Well I did buy 4 switch systems lol. Two for my nieces, one for my brother (his ex kept it) and one for myself that my brother took with him on deployment. Was gonna buy myself another but I'll just wait and see what the revision turns out to be next year.
I wouldn't be so sure. there are still big games coming like kh3 and dmcv and we don't know the release schedule for nintendo
there's this moving game that's really reminiscent of Overcooked
Same as a Switch plus a game though. So yeah not cheaper but not more expensive either.
Vs the $199 spiderman bundles? I think thats impressive none the less.
Wow, Smash Ultimate really is the Inifinity War of video games.
Congrats to Sakurai and his team for creating a wonderful new installment. I'm having a really good time with it.

No Heroes Here is the best Overcooked style game that is not overcooked
It has a more casual friendly version called Monica e a Guarda dos Coelhos which does not get as hard in the later levels as No Heroes Here
That's it and you didn't even cite everything. But those don't count because those are ports even though many were launched at the same time. Or because they are Wii U titles or because I don't like those titles.
Man this is a wild turnaround coming from the Wii U. I certainly expected Switch to do better than that one, but i was wary when they first showed that it is a hybrid system. Sure showed me that this type of system really works.
But i think the most "brilliant" move was bringing nVidia to the party. Just a guess, but their work on system/APIs were surely one of the reasons that Nintendo was able to finally get official support for most of the major 3rd party engines.

I agree but the momentum won't slow down. This won't be like in H1 2018 where there wasn't any major titile until Mario Tennis ( which is not a big title to begin with ). Fow all we know we could have Animal Crossing releasing by June, with Yoshi and Fire Emblem coming before that. And Smash and Let's Go will join Deluxe, Breath of the Wild and Odyssey in the "evergreen mode activated" phase.
Don't get me wrong, Kingdom Hearts 3, Resident Evil 2, Anthem and Devil May Cry 5 will ALL sell very well. But the PS4 and Xbox One are entering decline next year, while the Switch will keep growing.
I'm sure wedbush securities would hire you if they happen to read this post :)
Thats mighty impressive.
I haven't bought smash yet as noone can anwser my questions whether the "new character" inroduction videoclips of the WiiU version are also present in smash ultimate.
yeah but no.

There are always these weird takes in Nintendo threads that only seem to count for Nintendo systems.
"Ultimate outselling Brawl in Europe is not impressive because people imported Brawl from the US and used free loader discs to play it on their PAL consoles"
"US Ultimate numbers are inflated by people from outside using an US eshop account"
I guess by that logic God of War and Spider-Man numbers were also inflated by people from outside since you can easily make an US account.
Of course it's bullshit because the amount of people importing or using a separate US account to buy these games is negligible.
To me this thing tis the best Nintendo console since the SNES. If they get a new Diddy Kong Racing or a HD remaster or a new F-Zero. It would be my favorite gaming system of all time.
yeah, I fail to see why a euro should create an US account. japanese account? yes maybe for the lost of exclusives.
Apart from some (bad) Johnny arcade games there isn't anything US eshop exclusive
Meanwhile Nintendo's stock goes down and down and down, while they report record breaking after record breaking after record breaking. What is wrong with this world?
