Do we believe Reggie through the NYT through The Verge?

Yes. 126 50.81%
 
No. 80 32.26%
 
Who's Reggie? 42 16.94%
 
Total:248

Not bad at all for both America and Japan.

~80k is bad for a launch week period. If the Wii U ever becomes an actual comparison, then you know that the Switch is a collossal failure. I don't think the bar is that low.

Wii U sold about ~40k FW UK. Switch is nowhere close to a collossal failure.

The Switch couldn't outsell the best selling console of all time at launch? Clearly a failure.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Off Course that is matter, in holiday season console are not purchased only buy hard core fans, beaucuse that what people do in holiday season, spend a lotsa money and buying lotsa things.

Agree that isn't really hard to understand that fact.

Agreed. There is lots of spinning in this thread to make the Switch sales appear underwhelming but this "there's no difference in a holiday launch versus a March launch" is by far the most laughable. I assume that person has never seen a Nov or Dec NPD. Not that you'd really need to, logic dictates that there'd be tons more potential buyers during the holidays. And while it's true that it doesn't matter if you have 8 million potential buyers if you launch with only 2 million units available, waiting until holidays gives you a lot more time to hit that 2 million :)

You're right it's not hard at all to understand.

I'm glad you agree with me. Let's not compare it to one.

What console do you you want compare? Because last time I checked, Wii U was Switch's predecessor, so, at least to me, is totally fair compare them

3DS and GBA seem fair to me.

Fantastic news and well deserved. I have only had my Switch for a little over a day but this console feels very special and BOTW is one of the most incredible experiences I've had with a console, let alone a launch title.

Wii U belongs in an overall comparison, but I don't think you can use it as proof of Switch doing well (which is what your post implied). If you want to argue that Switch is doing well, compare it to its competition (PS4, X1, 3DS, PS3, 360, Wii, etc).

Wii U just for overall comparision, but we can use PS3, 360 and Wii for now? Ok

 

But I'll give what you want: sold really bad in UK compared to PS4 and X1
