Forums - Sales Discussion - September 2017 NPD Thread! Switch #1

NPD figures should be released within the next two business days.



Around the Network

Well, this was an npd that Nintendo pulled out from under sonys feet. I'm impressed. October is basically a lock for Switch now, since both cod and battlefront II are November, and Switch has Odyssey in October.

And yeah, switch is killing it.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Lol, the Switch is tracking WAY AHEAD of the Wii U. Stop with the excuses, the Switch is a success, deal with it. 

2018 will be a hard year for you if you want the Switch to fail lol. The game announcements will keep coming like Project Octopath Traveller, No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Back, Inside, Hollow Knight, Fire Emblem Switch, Dragon Quest XI, Dragon Quest Builders, Fe, Flipping Death,  Indivisable, Owlboy, Shin Megami Tensei V, Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition, etc.

Switch really killed my parents!

...wait.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Sorry, bro. Switch is here to stay. Especially now that Pokemon seems to be coming its way. You better be happy with having the best console multiplats for now since I take it you're going all in on the X1X train.

Ugh seriously? I keep getting basic shit wrong lately. Guess our estimates were just a bit high. Or Nintendo hit 2 mil last month and just didn’t mention it.

Wrong. Do some research. Wii U stagnated in, like, January or February aka 2-3 months after launch. Switch is doing better now than it was a few months ago, and it will only improve from here.

To be fair, the Wii U did pretty good at launch. If "pretty good" means being outsold by every other system except the Vita and the DS in it's first 2 months, that is.

Seriously, people don't understand how much of a gigantic failure the Wii U was.



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.
