Another thing to take note of is that the switch is selling significantly worse in Japan than it is in the United States. For all of us who thought Japan would eat the switch up, there is definitely some rethinking to do as to how much.

Nintendo's fiscal report showed that they shipped 600k units to Japan in March.

Media Create numbers were 565k sold in March, that's a sell through rate of 94%.

Japan is eating up Switch as fast as they get it.

This seems like a good place to put it, but EA just revealed that there will be switches at their conference to show off FIFA. That could potential he be a pretty big deal. If that is indicative of some sort of marketing deal for the game, that would be a very big boon for Nintendo in terms of increasing popularity in Europe, and changing their brand perception. Nintendo and EA can very easily make the switch the home for FIFA, and therefore actually help them compete against the PS4 there, which they clearly need help doing.

I disagree, Nintendo is a console generation behind in technology and has next to no online infrastructure..... not even any compatibility with bluetooth Mics or mics for chatting in game or cross game..... why would people buy a switch for FIFA, because it's going to give u the PS3 game on the go? 

I'm sure it will get decent sales, what I wouldn't understand is EA trying to change focus from PS4 to Switch as main FIFA platform. I guess theyv'e done it with Xbox but I guess MS paid a LOT and it still gets way better sales on PS4

To me at least Playstation and FIFA/PES have a VERY strong relationship

Wow......the PS4 is holding strong! I can't wait until the Switch gets some steady stock to see where it levels out at.

According to Go Nintendo, Switch is selling 10% better than the Wii did in the same timeframe in the US and it had less stock issues than Switch stateside. Great numbers from PS4 and Switch it'll be interesting to see what happens from E3 to the holidays.

From NPD, its sold 1.2 million in 2 months. The Wii sold 1.1 million. It should fall behind this next month, or maybe tie.

If it's still ahead though, we'll have an interesting battle going on. In its 3rd month, the Wii should be at 1.5 million.



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.
