Is that zelda number Switch only or combined with Wiiu?
Anyway, it`s easily gonna be the best selling zelda game ever.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has surpassed Mario Kart 8, and Splatoon 2 has surpassed Splatoon 1. Wow.

Holy shit at those numbers. It's deserved, with all its shortcomings Switch is still a great machine.
And double holy shit at odyssey. King indeed.

tracking less than PS4 already... still great turnaround for Nintendo after WiiU. and soon enough will overtake Xbox for 2nd place.

PS4 being released in the holiday season makes it 2 holiday seasons if you're a Nintendo fan and 1 if you're not.

with pokemon and smash, it can sell up to 30 million by jan 1 2019 I think. Would put it on lock with a price drop.

It isn't essentially 1 holiday.

It had two holiday periods launch aligned.

It doesn't matter that one period was also its launch period.

Well it's bit more complicated than that. PS4 launched late november in US and early december in EU (and in japan next february). It didn't have full benefit of that holiday season. Only a month. Not to mention of course limited launch shipments and late Japanese launch. I guess you could say it had one and half holidays lol.

No it is as simple as it had two holiday periods launch aligned. You can't just decide one doesn't count or only partially counts because reasons.

That isn't how business operate.

PS4 and Switch both were sold out on release dates...that means it doesn't matter if you released November or March, its the same thing.

This isn't how business works and we are in a business financial thread.

It had two holiday periods. Businesses will take that into account when releasing a product in the holiday period.

It is as simple as that.
