I'm sure Gamestop is happy that it is a hit and hopefully continues the momentum. I believe Gamestop stock was starting to tank but they have some saving grace with a hot system just released.

The stock is still tanking and no amount of switch good news is going to change its fortune (-10% post switch launch).  Gamestop's business model is not selling new games or systems, its selling used and subscriptions.  Gamestop only sees increase sales from those insane bundles they have out there but once Nintendo starts to ship more consoles, itll lose out on it.  Combined with every publsiher taking advantage of digital sales, means less and less for gamestop and others (like best buy which came out with news earlier in the week) these sales increases are only temporary.

Long gone are the days of arguments. Now we exchange insults. "Triggered" "salty", etc. How lovely.

Nice. Good news for the industry when Nintendo is on top.

Because the other two (+ PC) are too similar to each other.

Interesting enough that you consider ''trigger'' as an insult, though it is fluently employed in English. And accurately, in my defense. It elicited a response from you, didn't it?

Well retail stocks are getting hit but it is mainly due to Amazon taking a chunk from the brick and mortar stores.  Going to the store is a pain in the ass sometimes and shopping on Amazon usually nets good results for video games.  I don't want to be trying to do price matches at a retail store either.  Most retail store chains are on the down or already out in the USA.

You mean 78.5m Nintendo vs 73.4m Sony



A certain fan base always seems to need to combine multiple system sales when putting down another. Some people take video games way too serious

So lets not ever include handhelds into a video game sales discussion?  Is that what you want.
