No! It is falling off a cliff and losing momentum! It didn't sell well despite no big titles and no MH!

Anyway, on a serious note, sales will ramp up towards the summer when more and more titles release. Coupled with Smash releasing this is year, 20 million is within reach for sure.

There's just one problem:

Switch pretty much released with the TWO best games it's ever going to have, right out of the gate. BOTW AND Mario Odyssey!!! So basically, it should be selling at its best right now unlike the PS4 which did awesome numbers with nothing out on it. A Sony console has NEVER released out of the gate with its TOP AAA franchises. 

Are you saying PS fans will buy anything as long as it has a PS logo on it?

Because that's not something to brag about.

Zelda & 3D Mario are not Nintendo's biggest franchises.

 

The biggest system sellers for PS consoles are AAA western 3rd party titles, PS4 had a ton of those in its first year. GTA, COD, Battlefield, FIFA, Madden, NBA, Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, Destiny, Far Cry, etc.

Anybody who thinks that PS4 didnt have a ton of system sellers in its first year is lying to themselves.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Quickrick needs to stop seeing (monthly) sales data as a zero-sum game.

It's not "the winner takes all", all consoles are doing well in the US.

The Switch will not be falling off a cliff any time soon... There's still plenty of ways to boost sales like a mainline Pokémon RPG, Super Smash Bros., Animal Crossing, a price cut, revisions (like all their handhelds got), etc.

I don't even have to react to this anymore. Alkibiades said enough.

Also, Nintendo is never going to release a mainline Zelda or mainline Mario on the Switch anymore? Can I get a source for this important piece of information. But seriously, you actually defeated your own argument by already saying it. "right out of the gate". One was a launch game and the other came out 8 months after launch. Are you sure we won't see another Zelda and Mario anymore on the Switch? Are you sure?
