Forums - Website Topics - Ready for Nintendo switch hardware and software sales tracking by vgc ? Let's all wish good luck to Machina and TrunksWD.

As you might have seen,  Machica and Trunks finished the final week of february recently, so the next one ( first week of March ) will include swicth!

We should soon have software saless of that week for the USA!

 

It's the first time for Machina and Trunks, who took charge of software and hardware sales tracking respectively ( the first one in 2016 and the second one in 2017 )  , that they will have to count/extrapolate the sales of a new gen hardware launch!

Good luck guys  and thank you for saving our community!  ;)

Also, thanks to our lord,  ioi,  because he chose two dilligent and eager for discussions ( regarding their results of their work ) people to pass his responsibilities!

It's gonna be weird not seeing the WiiU on the front page chart anymore...



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

:D

Machina has kept the software charts alive for a long time now. Trunks is now keeping the hardware afloat.

Thank you to these two legends for keeping my fav Vgchartz feature alive. The sales must go on!!

The funny thing is that they will probably replace wii with wii u in the diagram of last gen consoles in the front page options, putting it next to ps3 and xb360, 7th gen , some people will make connotations...

Also, I think that 3DS and switch must exchange colors with ps4 and psv, since Nintendo signature color, is now  red and sony's blue! Will we see that change? Who knows...



Any idea when NA software charts will be released? Tomorrow?

USA* We don't have a weekly sales option for NA about software, only a figure  for hardware in the front page... You can see NA LTD SALESthough ( including USA ) in the dedicated page of each game and you can deduce the sales of NA ( excluding the USA ),  by substracting USA number by NA number, obviously! As for weekly hardware sales of the USA, i guess you know where to see them.

Usually, it's being up on Sunday or Monday!

I wonder what their plans for the frontpage are. Since things are changing so drastically, it's not as simple as removing one bar and replacing it with another.

You should wonder, if they really have plans for the frontpage...

Some things still need Ioi's consent... Changes in front pages is one of these things!

They will have to replace wii u with switch, and wii u with wii in the last gen diagram, putting it next ps3 and xb360, which are 7th gen consoles... If not,  they will probably have to create a new last gen option destined for 8th gen consoles. 

Next is the color of the bars! Now the signature color  of Nintendo is red, ergo ps4/psv bar must turn blue and 3DS red, along with new one of switch that should be red instead of keeping wii u's blue!

Also, I think that trucks is repsonsible/able for changes in pages! Apparently, the code of vgc is fairly fragile,  modifications of that extend may lead to issues, so the task is tough!



The question will then be answered........

Is the Switch a Home console or a Handheld!

NPD treat it as a home console, so VGChartz should too.

Oh did they? Then that settles it then.
