+Funny famitsu digital estimate number

They based their digital estimate off the numbers Capcom gave at launch which showed digital was massive. Either that or they had a really good prediction because it matched. Don't even try to downplay the humongous MHW digital sales in Japan. They were huge and not something we've seen since. 

LOL, Famitsu digital estimate is always a joke for Nintendo games especially with the data we received from Nintendo retail shipment+Digital.

About a ~33% YoY increase as well

He aint lying, famistu digital is laughable and are based on polls. That said your correct, digital is huge with MHW. Probably around 850k-950k and thats no laughing matter.

 

We kno MHW is 3mil ship+digital. Probably close to 3.1mil, maybe even 3.2mil

Agreed.

Good thing Capcom said it themselves and their number is similar to Famitsu. Don't discredit the numbers MHW have done.

I've been promised that it will fall of a cliff for months now on this site and I am still waiting



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Actually I think it's been more than a year, IIRC quickrick's infamous prophecy about Switch falling off a cliff in 2018 came late in 2017.

I almost miss the guy sometimes, would've been interesting to see what absurd claims he'd have made next. It was always something; after the cliff it became Switch won't win any NPD in 2018, Switch's holidays will be flat YOY despite Smash, Smash will sell only 8-10 million lifetime, etc.

Yep the cliff talk started in 2017 and I too would like to hear what kind of excuses/claims he would come up with.

Don't worry we'll always have good ol' pachter to fill that void.

Time to use a gravity switch !

So we have to use a switch to destroy the switch? Sounds legit considering the only thing that can stop the switch right now is the switch. But if we use the switch to stop the switch, what will be left to stop the remaining switch? And if the switch falls off the cliff but also climbs the cliff, will we just have switch everywhere. 

Wait!!!.... I've got it! The switch will become the cliff and since things are always in motion, the switch will fall off the cliff while climbing the cliff. That makes sense. The switch will climb itself and fall off itself.

I can think of a few...

- 2018 was Switch's peak year and it's all downhill from here

- Pokemon Gen 8 won't sell systems cos every Pokemon fan already bought one for Let's Go

- Animal Crossing won't sell systems because I just don't think it will

- Switch will die overnight when PS5/Nextbox are announced
