But Zelda wasn't enough... .
Go Europe, start buying Nintendo again .



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Good. Now on to Mario Kart 8 DX to see if there is momentum.

Mario Kart 8 DX will surprise everyone. A huge amount of 3DS owners never played MK8.



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.

Releasing a rushed unfinished console with a legion ready to defend it has its perks I guess.

Worked out for the X1 in a way.

Lets just hope it maintains this.

This is great! So UK seems particularly poor compared to other regions. Congrats Nintendo!

UK is also in Europe. It sold over 325,000 for all we know, and aprox 80,000 in UK. Europe has a population of 735 million. UK has a population of 64 million. So, no, it did not do bad in UK. It should have sold only 30,000 there, for interest to be the same as the rest of Europe. So, UK was a strong launch and contributed a lot to the system's sales (almost 25% of all European sales, despite having less than 10% of Europe's population).

Why the bitterness? Buck up, more competition is good for gaming! Especially when it comes from a gaming company. :P

I've spent roughly 20 hrs playing Switch already. Nothing feels even remotely unfinished to me.. Ok maybe the eshop's a bit bare but that's it, and that will soon change..

Booting up my new XB One two years ago on the other hand, with its hrs of updates just to start playing my first game....

Switch sold 105k in France.
Best launch ever for a console


Hopefully itll keep that way and wont pull à WiiU

Means VGC has PS4 overtracked. VGC had PS4 at 110k first week in France. If 105k is a record, that means PS4 launch was overtracked. 

It's the fastest-selling Nintendo console in Europe.

 

OT. Congrats to Nintendo for such a successful launch. Now only comes the hardest part...
