Hahaha Go Labo! Prove that just because the untargeted adult hard core audience doesn't understand you doesn't mean you won't excel. Even I didn't think initial reactions would be this positive! Both number 1 and 2 spots, WOW!

Yeah thats why Amiibo Festival, Federation Force, Codename STEAM, Chibi Robo: Zip Lash, Game & Wario, Star Fox Zero, etc. were all such mega hits, right?

 

Hint: they are all Nintendo games that flopped hard.

Meanwhile the limited edition Monster Hunter bundle is already sold out. They probably made at least 100K of them, maybe more. Which means January is pretty much PS4's month. People jump to conclusions based of Amazon charts.

And as i mentioned before, 3rd party sellers are selling the standard model. We won't really know how it's performing for awhile on Amazon. They have it in stock, but people aren't going to search for it. SW bundle nobody really wants. Sony needs a WW2 bundle.

I highly doubt that limited edition monster Hunter bundle had 100k units.

There is a reason why these Amazon threads continues and gets lots of posts. And that is the main reason. 

The bigger reason is because it's more competitive now with Switch. When ps4 was dominating almost every month these threads became very quiet. I definitely lost interest anyway. 

Yes, more like 10k LOK. It was sold out very quickly (less than 24H ?) on gamestop.

It reached the top 2:

Why did Dark Souls get a big jump all of a sudden? It was actually going down in the charts for a few days and then just jumped into the top 10.

It could be because Prime members get a discount when they pre-order (which started this week), but that's available on other systems too. Hard to tell.



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.

I dont think this are buying more hardcore Nintendo fans, but parents definitely. And no, Lobo is not crap. :)

What are you talking about? Labo looks absolutely inspired.

Just because it's not appealing to you, doesnt make it crap. This is for kids. Assuming that's you in the picture, you are not the group they are aiming for.

Secondly, surely you have not tested it yet and wouldnt know if it's crap or not.

It's actually quite unique thinking. It's just not aimed at our demographic and doesn't appeal to us and that's ok. That doesn't make it absolutely...  absolutly crap.

I'm not buying it, that's for sure. Though, this makes me feel like the Switch is truly the successor of the Wii.

Guys, that user has a history of posting blatantly anti - Nintendo (and pro-Sony) things and generally trolling Nintendo fans. It’s getting tiring but Iran not worth arguing back :/

How are you going to try to say this about Nintendo fans considering your history of constantly praising Sony no matter what and trying to downplay everything else? The same could easily be said about you then. 

I've noticed you doing this in plenty of Nintendo threads or Nintendo-related news for a while now. You will try to bring up the PS4 in discussions where it literally has no place, seemingly because you feel insecure about something possibly doing better than it i'm guessing. You will try to make excuses for it, such as the one where you tried to say Switch somehow wasn't a home console all of a sudden. It's like any Nintendo news you just can't help but try to bring up the PS4 to try to downplay it somehow, and in this case now you're calling them fanboys who blindly worship Nintendo stuff just because you don't like a new thing for it.

Those were just a few I could find btw, i'm sure if I kept looking I could find more. 

All i'm saying is don't be a hypocrite, you're just as guilty of doing for Sony what you're accusing Nintendo fans of doing for Nintendo. Don't try to call them fanboys when they could easily say the same about you. This isn't me insulting you either, just calling a spade a spade since it's very hypocritical of you and i've noticed this before with plenty of your past and current posts.

Was gonna postbox something like this, thanks for bringing the receipts :p

everything is falling.Is it normal for this month of the year?



Brii on 18 January 2018

I'm curious about the 'scalper' claims some people are making. You DO realize that, unlike the NES and SNES minis., printing and cutting cardboard squares likely doesn't require nearly the amount of manufacturing resources, right? Heck, the announcement video even shows us how it's mostly just a die for stamping the desired design.

Stock isn't nearly as much as an issue with this much easier to produce product, so why would anyone try to scalp something that's going to be readily available at release? It's not like it's sold out on Amazon yet despite both being at the top for half a day.
