Even more charts!

 

 


The Switch is definitely more than making up for the fact that Nintendo is now being supported by only one system now that the 3DS is on the way out sales-wise. As of February it has now sold over double what the Wii U did lifetime, and is outpacing the 3DS by a considerable rate.

Can you do one with February's? Like top 10 or 20.

Saw the thread on Resetera, Nintendo slaughtering the others in software.

5 exclusives in the top 20 without counting digital, yep they are doing great.

Can you share it here?



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Just impressive seeing BotW, after almost two years since it released, is still among the top 20 best-sellers in the NPD. It's hard to reinvent a franchise that has continuously evolved over the 3 decades it has existed. Major props to the Zelda team from EPD.

Thanks a lot for the informative charts. Those are really highly appreciated. What would make a more interesting chart is the Xbox 360 vs PS4. 

 

Xbox One vs PS3 would be interesting as well.



Compared to last february:
PS4: 363K (-22% YOY)
XB1: 310K (-29% YOY)
Switch: 279K (+30% YOY)

So compared to last year xbox had a bigger % drop. Momentum with playstation as we near the end of the gen. I'm surprised ps4 isn't down more. A $50 price drop in February will yield some impressive months this year.

So this month.

Switch = 367K
PS4 = 286K
XB1 = 227K
3DS = 55K

3ds on the way out. Will it ever catch the PSP? Ps4 numbers are good and Switch impressive.

It did last year.

Gotcha, ya it will probably fall a few million short WW.

Kind of interesting that 3DS is ahead in the big 3 regions (North America+Europe+Japan) but PSP is ahead thanks to a 10+ million lead in RotW.
