Forums - Sales Discussion - The Switch has Sold more than what the PS4 and XB1 in the past two weeks in a day(Amazon)

I think its a couple of things:

It's January, console sales of current gen machines will be quite low at this point. Probably looking at 35k per week? (dunno but someone could find last Jan sales and figure that out).
Nintendo don't know how much stock to make, just like the Pro and other consoles before, they'll release more pre-order stock in batches, just cause its out of stock doesn't mean they won't add any more.

Lets not get all excited, personally I think it looked pretty boring, but as many have said before, lets wait for the dust to settle a little rather than jumping to predictions of success or fail.

I am happy for you Nintendo, i know it's nothing that big, or an indication for future success, but at least it's better then Wii U.



And now it's going to drop like a rock from there because of nintendo limiting the stock.



Achieves #1 on amazon, gets immediately downplayed in typical vgchartz fashion.

If switch has a " really  good catalog  for this year"

What does ps4 has? Godlike😏

Lol did you really had to post this dont you?

Switch is getting at least Splatoon 2, Mario Oddissey, Mario Kart Deluxe and Zelda BoTW in 9 months, those are 4 really big ips and strong system sellers, maybe the quantity is not amazing but the big ones are really big.

Ofcourse  the  next  uncharted  and gran turismo  and possibly  god of war are " small" right?

The Wii U isn't in the top 100 for it's launch month. Amazon do delete items that nobody stocks. I think the Wii U sold less that PS3 and 360 but sold about 500k. Either those are newer listing for the old model or there was another model that was the main selling model and is no longer sold by any sellers. 

The only other thing is that some listings aren't showing up. The Wii U could be one of those. Can you see the Wii U in the top 100?

Its in stock from third parties and also these consoles are in stock from third parties and still show up

I think the Wii U probably didnt chart and there are no Wii U games in the top 100 so i think its safe to say that it just didn't chart.

Wow! Then that's pretty unbelievable!

Can you point me to a thread that exhibits this so I can compare it to this one? I just don't remember seeing any myself, must've missed it.

Did you came here so we can debate about who has the longest penis or something?

Those are big, yes, but Mario Kart is already bigger than any of those, Splatoon has the chance to be on a similar level to MK, Mario is the most important ip of videogames history and they tend to sell a ton (Galaxy 1 and 3DLand +10m sold each one) and when a Zelda is a big success it sells even more than Uncharted, how is that not a good line up for 9 months? thats without counting stuff like Arms or Skyrim (yes I think the idea of Skyrim on the go will attract some people) and there is a chance for another big game to fall this year, like DQXI.

No he is right but it's not confined to one particular thread.
