I know well how New leaf sold ( it was repeated couple of times for nobody sake ) and take it in consideration. And I take other games as well.

Just like I know how Gran Tourismo was doin on PS2, but I dont call it 15mil seller anymore. So lets say I see GT6/Sport situation here - some mils, a good game, and thats it.

Thats all.

But the last AC game sold 10 million+

Well, I've put him on my ignore list. At first I thought he was confused and didn't realize Amiibo Festival is a spinoff. But he is full aware and does not consider it different to a mainline title. So if he does it to get reactions or just believes stuff like that, I can safely assume his posts aren't worthy for reading. It makes no sense to answer him anymore at this point.

I learned today that Uncharted 5 won’t break 1m.

I'm pretty sure there won't be a new Uncharted game (or at least Uncharted 5)

I did say 2018 was a bad year, but someone called me a pessimist! ;)

But to be honest, all that will matter is NSMB U, MK 11, LM 3, FE, Animal Crossing, Pokémon.
This is what this year should have been like.

Personally, I think 2018 would have been fine if Fire Emblem and Yoshi hadn't seen delays.  That E3 this year was deadly.  Mario Party - Fire Emblem - Yoshi = The first E3 from any company I can recall that had a worse lineup following their presentation than when it began.

That may be true with Microsoft delays but then again maybe not, Microsoft announces delays quite often before E3

Pikimin 4 must release in 2019. I'm urging for this game

Oh yeah! They better have Pikmin 4 ready, or at least show it at E3 and release it early 2020. Imagine how good it would look on Switch... 



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Me too. It's been my most wanted game for years.

I dont comparing hole 2018. lineup, just confirmed 2018. games in December period. Also I disagree that 2018. was bad, it wasnt bad but it wasnt great also, it was OK, saying that 2019. looks it will be much stronger in any case.

For a second year, yeah, it was bad.
To get a worthwhile game you had to wait until November… and December.

Even what we know now is already better than 2018, as a whole.

To be honest, hadn't Switch been a hit and you would hear people severely criticize Nintendo for that weak line-up.

Don't know if it would have been better.
Neither are system sellers, btw.

People talk a lot about FE and how big it is and how huge it will be, but when you look at sales of both FE games on 3DS you'll see that while the first caused a little bump in sales, the second only managed to do that in Japan, whereas sales in the US even went down.
SW sales for the first game weren't all that and they went down with the second game.

As i said before, Nintendo wasn't prepared for 2018. But they were lucky enough to have Switch's momentum cover that up.
After Wii U, it's not normal for a company that wants to do (way) better, to have such a weak second year.
