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).

How about we note it at the best selling launch in the Americas and Europe in Nintendo history?

Did you actually read the conversation or what? I was commenting why the general perception of Switch's sales are not good. That's why I commented.

The switch sellong well at launch is a pretty widely accepted notion.

Maybe on Vgchartz...Youtube and gaf...different story


The first publicly available numbers were the UK, where it did sell poorly. After that, people just have anecdotes. It's not hard to find at all in the US, so it just balloons into the idea that isn't not selling well.

 

Eric took issue with me saying that the Switch sold poorly in the UK:

Definitely did NOT sell poorly at UK. ~80K is something that Wii U never dreaming of

~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.

That's when we start talking about what it should be compared to. I never said the Switch sold poorly (overall, because it didn't do well in the UK), but was trying to explain why someone might think it flopped.

3DS and GBA seem fair to me.

You're useless.

Keep in mind the higher price and the offseason launch of the Switch.

Always  excuses  jesus.....fact is ps4 is already  selling  better in the same timeframe , the ones  who actually  stupidity thought  switch will outsell  ps4( or sell as good) are delusional. 

 

+ switch has a launch game people  are hailing  to be the game of.the.genn, ps4 had a meh lineup.

Look.  how many did ps4 sell in first 12 months.  Switch is projecting 18 million.  The switch couldn't sell more then ps4 at launch because it didn't ship enough units.
