Vgcharz once (or maybe more than one time) had switched sales numbers of the consoles and a few members thought they were big adjustments..... This time it would be to obvious if ioi did it again =p.

do you mean threads with fake information to fool people or threads that are compiling other pranks like this one?

Any japanese out there?

Also, NintendoEverything is doing a round-up on all the jokes they get. Maybe only Nintendo related though.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Watch the Nintendo Direct tomorrow be the biggest April Fools of all.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
