... you kidding right. Leaf has sold more than 10M copies on the 3DS so I don't see your point with this one ?

My point is that last 2 entries in the series suffer a big drop in sales. 

The 3DS game is the best selling title in the franchise so what drop exactly?

And that's without E3 2019, or any other 2019 Nintendo Directs...Nintendo has no chill in 2019.

Looks okay, but not my thing, unfortunately. Out of those, only Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Daemon  X Machina and the Resi releases are the only things that I'm interested in.

Pikimin 4 must release in 2019. I'm urging for this game

Also, wow, are you me? 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Joke post!?

Wii U didnt had real Animal Crossing game (I mean Amiibo Festival), while Animal Crossing on 3DS sold 12m, and thats huge number for 3DS game. Animal Crossing become is one of biggest Nintendo IPs, and Switch will be even bigger (most likely 15m+).

Pokemon Lets Go did sell worse than Sun/Moon initaly because we talking about Pokemon game that was launch on lowest install base ever, also we talking about remake of first game not about brand new game, while Pokemon 2019. will be next gen Pokemon game.

Luigis Mansion 2 selling more than 5m on 3DS is also very good result. Also, dont forget on, Fire Emblem, that will also be system seller in some degree.

The post with hard sales data is a joke post, sure. 

So far, the best selling Switch games are Zelda/Mario/Mario Kart after all these big and good games Switch is receiving every month.

 

Dude. Here’s hard sales data for you;

11.75m for DS and 11.94m for 3DS. 3DS game sold more than DS game, and hasn’t stopped selling yet; ie. the series grew.

New Leaf is the second best selling entry. And Amiiboo Festival? Really? Should we gauge Final Fantasy games based on the half million the game Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy sold?



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [peak year] [+], [1], [2], [3], [4]

Yeah. It takes about 2-3 years for 3rd parties to start making games. They had no faith in the Switch until it started having good sales in 2017. So 2019 is when the 1st wave will come. I expect the wave in 2020 to be bigger from 3rd parties actually. Also, Nintendo's handheld only companies are finally starting to get their games out. A lot of them released 3DS games around the 2015-2016 so it took longer for them to catch up to their home console counterparts. We are finally starting to see the results of a Handeld+Home Console software lineup this year.

2020 will most likely be even better. That's why I think Switch is in small sales mode. I think we might start seeing it sell big sometime in 2019. Somewhere between Wii 2008 number and Wii 2009 numbers.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Do you also believe the Uncharted series saw a decline because The Lost Legacy didn't reach 10 million?

Of course. The sales is  the sales. LL is a very good example, because it was ofc a DLC, but a cheaper than U4, so we can compare them.
