My god, it's complete Nintendomination. As Welfare said, if Nintendo shared digital their games would be even higher on the list.
Also good to see that Ghost of Tsushima and TLOU2 are still doing well, especially with the "concern" over the latter's legs.

Great results for Nintendo they continue to do great. I find it really interesting FH4 continues to chart even with Gamepass.
Another year of Madden outrage, another year of great sales for the series. The series is monolithic in the industry. I'm convinced that those that call this game out for it's major issues are in the vast minority and simply don't have the conviction to keepnfrom buying this every year.
happy for Ghosts of Tsushima, well deserved
Sept gonna be interesting I guess it'll be 2k21 and Avengers, hope Tony Hawk 1+2 makes a strong showing

Actually and as said before, GTA 5 isn't there because NPD is not reporting Take-2 digital numbers since last month, for some reason. Check the note below Mat's tweet in the jpg. That's also why NBA 2K and even RDR2 have suddenly disappeared from the monthly and yearly charts. Without digital, Take-2 become almost invisible.
All of the games at Wal-Mart are $10 less in-store than the retail value they usually are been that way since last year. Or do you mean that they took an extra $10 off meaning it was $40 at Wal-Mart during August?
People apparently love their madden from EA. Well that license isn't ending anytime soon if not ever. 😢
I just finished it a few weeks ago and I can see why it was so popular. The game just oozes personality and is a good "all ages" play. I think Luigi himself has now established a strong identity as a character separate from Mario and can be a draw on his own.
That's cool and all but i won't buy the game until the include Daisy somehow in a DLC. >:(
Some may find the image itself spoilery, but I'm happy to stan the song.
It's easy to forget how massive Wii Fit and especially Wii Play were. Yes, Wii Play was basically a controller with a game thrown in, but still.
When I worked retail, Wii Play was the easiest game to sell people. Wii remotes were already hard to to come by, so whenever Wii Play was in stock: "You get a Wii remote + a game for only $10 extra"....everyone bought one. Everyone.
Personally I don't see that happening.
I would have to imagine Nintendo would have to address the Switch's price as $300 for a Switch compared to the other next gen systems is going to look a little much, hence seeing what Nintendo does with the Switch Pro.
While I agree that Nintendo is having a horrible year (So far, the worst they've ever had since I've been gaming), the charts show that people are buying games that didn't release this year. The chart is full of evergreen titles that remain system sellers.
And of course there is Animal Crossing. Not my type of game but not everything can be. It's not sad if something you or I don't care for becomes popular. Hopefully next year they get us too.
They'll have to address price eventually, but if Nintendo continues to release unique software, Switch will be in a great position for a number of years to come. New Sony and MS hardware won't have much of an impact on Switch's market performance, as they aren't hybrids and aren't releasing the same types of software (for the most part) Nintendo creates.
I don't think Nintendo has to address anything. The Switch has been 300 since launch and it's selling fine.
The Switch has been competing with more powerful systems for the same price or lower for the entirety of its life.
Switch up +109%, PS4 -1%, Xbox -50% (all unit terms).
TLOU2 didn't do well in August. About 34k units (only have physical) in August.
Madden 305k, Animal Crossing at 179k, Mario Kart 8 130k, Ghosts of Tsushima 122k, GTA V 108k, those are the titles above 100k units, Paper Mario at 78k.
For some reason people don't seem to be talking about these sales enough. We are seeing sales that are on a level we have rarely ever seen, and yet people don't seem to be discussing it nearly as much as I would have thought.
Edit: to be clear, I'm not referencing Era specifically. For example, I seem to remember numerous YouTube videos and updates on sales last year, but I don't see near as many discussions on it this year.
Thanks!!
So TLOU2 is indeed down a net >85% two months in a row.
ACNH sounds like its around 4-500K with digital. Monster numbers for MK8D and Ghost and GTA!
Thank you! But I'm confused.
Is the GTA V number with digital? Because it didn't even chart in August.
I assume he's referring to total Nintendo output in a single calendar year. Switch is Nintendo's only active platform in 2020, so when you compare their total releases this year to total releases in previous years, an argument can be made it's the weakest. For example, 2005 was awful for GameCube, but when you combine Nintendo's total output on GCN + GBA + DS, it's a pretty good year overall. On its own, I think Switch's lineup this year is fine. Not great, but fine.
That's a bit low, don't you think? It sold 179k without digital in August alone.
Or am I reading the numbers wrong?
Yeah I am talking about August with digital. 179K physical + >60% digital = about 450K

Nintendo is competing in their own market. I do not see how the next gen systems are gonna affect the switch. There's also the fact that these systems are gonna be expensive and have a lack of software.
Sony and Microsoft are gonna be fighting for their loyal hardcore consumers while Nintendo is most likely aiming for the general market through their software this holiday.

nah, I checked on Deku Deals since I don't live in the US, the game has been 60$ since January, then it August it went for 49 up until now.
