"Super Mario Odyssey drove the third highest launch month packaged software sales for a Mario Action/Adventure title in tracked history, following only New Super Mario Bros Wii and Super Mario Galaxy," explained NPD analyst Mat Piscatella.

Not sure how to read that, but Galaxy didn't quite do 900k, so...

That's without digital (and bundles, which also count as digital). Take the W my man

But then I have to think of something creative to do with your avatar... 



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Assuming 295k, here's how the Switch's first October stacks up to other console's first Octobers (excluding launch period Octobers for systems launching in September or October, meaning this chart uses Oct. 2001 for the PS2, etc.):


Nearly tying for third-best first October ever. Now, who was it that was saying that this was "unimpressive," hm?

I am saying that it’s unimpressive. I think a lot of us do as well - based on the predictions they made. Stick to making graphs.

Lmao anything nintendo is an auto unimpressive to you though. It could 600k and you find a way to make it negative xD.

 

Dont be talkin smack to shadow. Someone who clearly shows any bias in his post

LawLight, why do you even care how Nintendo do? Just to put down any success they have?

Be honest, tbone, the Switch sales are well below what you expected them to be.

Shadow showed bias when he jumped at someone who made the sensible comment of pointing how the Switch sold well below what everyone expected.

The dude literally apologized to Shadow. He recognized he was in the wrong. How can you use that as a point against Shadow? Lmao

I can because that’s what happened. He got insulted when someone said the truth.

Who's to say your bias against Shadow or Nintendo isn't making you interpret it that way? Bias is so easy to throw around, and interpretations are rarely factual.

People predict that the Switch would do above 400k. Switch does less than 300k. I'm not sure how there's any ambiguity to how to interpret that.

This guy really cares about the Switch and Nintendo!



Pocky Lover Boy!

What? Lmao. That wasn't SHADOW's prediction. That was other people's predictions. All he said was who cares about their predictions which ... you know ... is what any analyst would do? Just because people overshot their predictions doesn't mean Shadow, who posted a reasonable one, should have to claim responsibility. 

You are hilarious.
