Do we have percentages of Nintendo hardware increases from November to December? (Wii, GC, DS, 3DS...even WiiU)

I think we can agree that Switch will have a great december, probably #1 again but i'm not sure.

Also, let's see those XBX legs, we need more competition.

Sports games are the most intense RPGs on the market. People into sports games play those games as much if not more than any "core" gamer plays a JRPG or Skyrim type of game.

It's incredible how this forum (some users) still don't understand this, Fifa players are more "hardcore" than most here or most rpg players, they play to win, they hate to to lose and believe me, they play hundreds of hours per month.

Ehhh. The spider man movie did well, but not overly fantastic. Think ppl ate burned out on spider man, films at least anyway

What ?
You do know that Spider-Man is the highest grossing comic movie WW so far this year .
Unless you talk USA wise then yeah it did okay but that was after 2 bad movies things better .

Lol.

Scrap that one then. Sony have a great brand right now, they should think about expanding at least.
i wouldnt be surprised if they return to the handheld market eventually, but i couldnt tell you when

maybe when battery tech gets better, maybe when they think of a new angle for marketing it or what have you

but i think they are comfortable being on the outside of it for a hot min

Hmm. What about something thats a smartphone and it plays mobile versions of GOW, UC, etc.

As in separate products from the console versions?

That's the exact failure of the Vita and the reverse opposite of Switch's success.

If Sony were to make another handheld, the rational path imo would be to embrace what Switch does, and basically make a portable platform that can play all the games that its big-brother console can.

NOT having sun and moon ported to switch was a big mistake. Nintendo needs to find away to get the switch into the sub $200 range, and get a proper Pokemon on it.
Maybe a switch sky without a dock, and a bundled digital game for $199 would have done the trick. If your going to consolidate software teams them kill the 3ds and let's do this.
The Switch hasn't even had a full year, calm down

At 70m point, PS3 was already dying.

At 70m point, PS4 is still a beast.

But I have used my PS3 as late as 2016 and my PS4 has been turned off since I beat Yakuza Kiwami and gathering dust. I don't understand gaming industry.

Wii had supply issues which may have altered the size of the growth MoM of its first years. However it seems that handhelds are having a more sizable bump in December (handhelds being more adapted for kids can be a reason).

Interesting, would be possible seeing Switch at 1.5-1.6 millions in december?

I mean look at those numbers, let's see if the console has "that" power.

Almost forgot how ridiculous the Wii and DS were at their peak.

How did Pokémon US/UM's performance last month compare to other mainline Pokémon games (namely sequel/third versions like Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, & Black 2/White 2)? Also, how would the two Pokémon games do with their sales numbers combined?

I don't think the Pokémon brand has ever been stronger. The games last year set sales records, and the ultra versions are off to great starts.

Shrinking ? Really ? What is your reference point ? Last gen for them was the WiiU/3DS.

So are the sales for Skyrim and Doom good?

Skyrim looks fine since it's the third best selling Switch title, but Doom seems bad as it is lower than Sonic Forces...

Pokemon Go once again! That game earned me $2000 from selling NTDOY shares the day after my wedding haha

Nintendo's smartphone strategy really is going to pay off immensely isn't it... I wonder if Animal Crossing will cause a similar effect whenever it releases on Switch (guessing next Fall).

Hello Mat. I wanted to know what is NPD's position on how different SKUs might count as the same game or not.

For example we have :

- Pokemon US/UM counted separetely.
- Standard Edition, "Gold Editions" etc counted as the same game
- Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe counted as the same game.

I am guessing that the line will get more and more blurry with the explosion of the number of SKUs and monetization these previous years. That's why I wanted to know your clear position on the subject.

It's selling faster than most, if not all other Nintendo systems. It's quite ahead of the 3DS, which received a very aggressive price cut early on (and also had 3D Mario and MK year one).
I don't see any shrinking.

Great numbers for everyone. But it is so depressing that Metroid: Samus Returns didn't even chart on the 3DS top ten. :\

Didn't Wiiu and 3ds combine for over a million there first holidays? and neither could touch switch's line up.
thats not really a fair comparison, though

those were two different consoles, at two different prices and with two very different libraries.

i think the Wii was 250 and the DS was 150 as well (unless im misremembering)

I don't understand the thought that because the Switch is both a handheld and portable, it should be selling double the amount any other console.

Dude Call of Duty is still that dominant? Battlefront 2 was #2 and it didn't even crack the top 10 of best selling games this year, meanwhile CoD is already #1?
