uh, It is.
But It's not beating Mario Kart in the west though.
There's a big range of success between those two parameters.

i was one of those people and now i'm eating my words. So smart. The best thing they could do is release Mario Kart 8 Deluxe near the System's Launch and then Mario Kart Double Dash 2 or HD Remaster in the 2nd half of the console's lifecycleRemember whe people thought that porting Mario Kart 8 to Switch was a mistake from Nintendo?
That was expected, still I'm thinking it's more far more profitable thus far than Destiny Vanilla despite the legs being poor. The problem is that it's a GaaS game and if Bungie are unable to entice lapsed players or gain new ones it will require yet another reboot.
People were confident Horizon would outsell Zelda. Then again, it was a time when people thought the Switch would flop, so i'll let them savor their crow in peace.
Metroid's showing is great because
-It was a remake without much hype behind it
-It was made by an untested third party studio
-It was on the 3DS rather than the Switch, and many big-spending early adopters had left that console behind
-The fans had been in open revolt for years
-3DS is easy to pirate on (I know multiple people who pirated Samus Returns)
-While very good, it wasn't one of the best Metroids
So all told, it's really encouraging. If they could get Metroid Prime 4 out while the Switch is still hot and make it a great game I think it would do amazingly.
Xenoblade 2 charting makes my heart happy. Its such an amazing game, and the love poured into it deserves every sale it can get.
I trully hope it reaches 1 million ww at least, and trully think it may have a shot if launch sales in the us are 300k or more sans digital.
Would trully love to have an approximation on how many units it sold.

Yeah this makes me nervous about Skyrim's sales. I thought it did great, but now I'm not so sure
Revenue, not units. Xenoblade had a special edition. So it may not be above Skyrim in units. We actually don't know how the units look for the middle portion of that Switch list.
I don't think anyone impartial to the situation thought Horizon would outsell Zelda
Zelda broke E3 and launched on two platforms
So happy Zelda is the best selling game on Switch, love seeing this game do so well. Splatoon 2 holding up in the top 20 5 months after its release is so awesome to see as well!!!
Zelda #5 and being a system exclusive next to all of those massive multi-platform smash hits, makes me feel so good. Hooray for Link!

further more Skyrim wasn't sitting in stores for months it was released in November.
Its not like it didnt chart. Its #10 for Switchs top 2017 games. Pretty good result.
So was this tweet inaccurate, or does Odyssey jump ahead with Digital? EDIT: I guess >55% could still mean >60% so arguing semantics it may have not been inaccurate.

NPD December 2017 : I am thinking at less, something upper than 250K for Xenoblade 2.
31 december 2017 : 156K for Xenoblade 2

It's time to speculate for the million seller WW for Xenoblade 2.
Not seems like. They did.
Me too. Working on it.
I think so too.
if you want, I can find you a whole spate of posts predicting Horizon would be the big flop of 2017.
Units is nice but revenue is more important for the corporations.
There's a reason Nintendo really started going hard on special editions of their games with Wii U and 3DS, because it's another way to get more money out of their most enthusiastic fans.

It's straight from Nintendo, so it has to be correct. SMO was less than half BOTW's size, so that might affect it
Lots of games get December boosts. I don't agree with his analysis but I'll bet most games in that list got healthy December boosts bar CoD.
I'm not the biggest JRPG fan but this game made an impact on me I hadn't had since Skies of Arcadia. It felt like the sequel I'll never get.
Second post trying to sidetrack into discussing the Wii. Stop it.
At no point, anywhere, in the quotes or the charts are there generational comparisons that would include other platforms.
Is this some kind of meme at this point? To muck up sales threads with Wii tangents?
HYPED!!Awesome video too by the way, loved the visuals and the commentary!!
Yea would be nice to know to know especially how Third Parties have done. Hopefully someone can comment how some of those titles performed.
