Forums - Nintendo Discussion - FIFA 18 on Switch accounted for 1% of all UK physical copies sold

Random_Matt on 02 October 2017

UK is a weak market for Nintendo, everyone knows this. Wasn't even thread worthy.

And taste with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at 100% !!! WoW. Guess that game flopped on ps4 :p

You took that really negativly.... I didnt mean anything bad by it, I dont like/buy fifa games, and personally think Legoworlds > fifa.

The ":P" was towards all these people that care, if fifa sold or not on the switch.

Id rather see Lego worlds do well than fifa.

Negatively? HOW could you read that comment negatively xD It was a joke bro! Because mk8 is exclusive. Get it?

 

I was going to post it originally but didnt. Your post gave me an excuse to post it

*sigh* was that really necessary?

Yes, some take joy in making threads like this (all sides) because something didnt do well. He posted nintendo news and then calls nintendo fans simple minded. Was it necessary....... YES 👍

It was a rhetorical question cause the obvious answer is no.  Rabble rousing is unproductive, inflammatory, and derails threads.  If you habe legitimate rebuttal, provide it.  If not, don't respond.

My comment in the OP:

'Not great but I don't think Nintendo need this just yet.'

Congratulations you played yourself, Good job showing your biased lmao. Post like this show how unintelligent someone is i had a good laugh. Others have already said what needed to be said as well ill take my leave

 

Edit: this guy is shitting on us nintendo fans, grab the pitchforks now

Jesus Christ, it's got nothing to do with bias. So tell me, why did it sell so little on the Switch? Everyone who bought the Switch already had a PS4 or an XB1? No copies of FIFA were available for the Switch? Switch owners didn't know it was releasing on the Switch? MY explanation is just the most 'obvious'. 

People who bought the Switch didn't buy FIFA. Now, I wonder why Nintendo struggles to get third party support. How obvious does this have to be? I'm not knocking the Switch, I'm merely pointing out the more likely reason for this. 

When you look at only 1% figure things go out the window. If a game for example hits first place on any chart does that mean it's a success? No not necessarily.

 

That said compare fifa sales to other nintendo releases (both first party/third party), also consider that this is still the UK. Install base for switch is what? 400k in UK i think, how much did ps4 fifa sell week 1 when ps4 launched (on gaf i read around 25k?)

 

And the major points to add is this is still a dominated market for xbox/sony that fifa owners have boughten for years and years. Were they supposebly suppose to just "switch" over? 

 

And calling nintendo fans simple minded just because in the "uk" fifa didnt sell (ill guess 50k based on your reaction?) That well... Your not regularly bashing nintendo at all which is good but when you do sometimes you sound ridiculous...

I wont argue that, i know when im wrong and will admit it. That said I wont be derailing it anu further than it should be. I pointed out something and thats it. Its not like im going through pages and pages of this. (That said there is your arguement you wanted with my last post)

Did it ever get restocked on Amazon UK?



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.

Who the hell called Nintendo fans simple minded? 

"This only shows us that Nintendo fans are still rather single minded in what they purchase for their consoles." 

Just WOW. Single minded isn't a negative thing.
