Maybe or maybe not, we don't know but please explain why the Switch is not at the top when November sales should be boosted by Super Mario Odyssey? BOTW clearly made the Switch sales soar sky-high so why isn't Mario doing the same? Yet when you see Mario (just the game) sales you can tell the game is selling well. So it's almost as if most people buying the game already have a Switch. But when you watch PS4 sales, even though there are already a ton of PS4's out there you can clearly see that games, even third party games keep the PS4 selling. Again it's too early to be sure of course but still my question stands, is there a trend here? |
Look at the difference between November and December sales for Xbox One and PS4.

Now compare that to 3DS and Wii U.

It's pretty obvious that Nintendo consoles have much better sales in December than November.
In 3DS's best year, 2013, it sold 1.95 million in November and 14.4 million for the whole year.
In Xbox One's best year, 2015, it sold 2.06 million in November and 8.6 million for the whole year.
Do you understand? Even though Xbox One sold more in November, it sold much less for the entire year.
Now take into consideration the fact that Switch is 2 million units ahead of where 3DS was at this point in its life.

3DS is about to pass 70 million units. So what do you think it means for Switch to be selling faster than 3DS?
