Yes, but it is still rolling down that cliff and is about to accelerate further down.

What the hell happened to this thread lately? Where are the moderators to hold the children down?

Anyway, with these numbers both on the US and Japan, I can't see the Switch selling anywhere close to do ~20m or above this year, like the Wii and DS on their big years. It's outperformed badly by both of them, looking at their numbers from 2007, 2008 and 2009.

The Switch will flatline. The end is nigh.

That might need separate thread.

How about you quote everything he said, including: 

"US NPD SW - Nintendo was February's leading publisher in software dollar sales, while Capcom remains the top-selling publisher of 2018."

And:

"US NPD HW - Nintendo Switch remains on a record setting sales pace. Over the first twelve months in market, Nintendo Switch has achieved the highest installed base for a console platform in history."

Yet again, happy to see all 3 consoles doing great

That'll hopefully keep everyone at their toes going into next gen.

 

Lol you're giving PS4 owners (if that is what you are) a bad rap.

Switch just had the 2nd best 1st February ever only behind Wii. I can't see how that translates to losing momentum.

switch has the second best FEB means nothing, most of those consoles leaders wii, ps2, ps4, and 360 suffered shortages, aside from that switch has been on the market for a year by the time its first' February came, unlike others where it was like 2 months so it had much better selection of games. as for the momentum comment, oh come on, its obvious if switch sold 400k it would be ok to say its gaining momentum right? so why isn't ok to say it looked like it lost a bit momentum this month when its been doing ps4 numbers every month?

I realise, it came across a bit harsh. I apologies.

It's just that March, April, etc. NPD threads will be full of tiring mockery if you end up being wrong (about Labo flopping and Switch flatlining yoy).

And personally, even considering other consoles' shortages and Switch's larger (1 year) selection of games, I still don't see Switch's 279k February as losing momentum. Switch is still relatively new and consoles usually peak in their 3rd or 4th year. I know PS4 is in its 5th but it looks to be able to stay flat or even up yoy. MHW and to a lesser extent DBF ran with most of the attention while Switch didn't have a big release in February.

I don't know how Switch will fare in the coming months and I think it's quite early to declare anything about future momentum. However, if you end up being right (about Labo flopping and Switch flatlining yoy), I (and hopefully many others) will take most of the criticism back.

Shadow of the Colossus at number 6 is better than I expected.

I really like that game.

The rumored 20m forcast is for next fiscal year shipments, not calender year sales.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I think it's pretty crazy that PS4 has done so well while remaining $299 for almost two years. Imagine what will happen when it hits $199 permanently.
