If you think that's bad, the 3DO came out with only one launch game!

Really? I never thought that was possible.

Why would someone buy the Switch at its first month if they didn't like Zelda and had "no choice but to buy zelda"?
Isn't it better to wait until a game they like releases, and hopes they find a bundle for it or the switch being cheaper?
Pocky Lover Boy!

Well played with Zelda Nintendo! And from what I can see the game deserves every single sale! Wish we had numbers for all the other console sigh.....
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

Damn... it sold roghly the same on the NS as H5 did on the Xone. Massive win for Nintendo and an absolutely amazing start for the NS.

That's a good point actually. Looking at VGC numbers the Wii U sold 760K in the US in it's first 28 days. That puts the Switch at about 142K or about 19% better. It will be interesting to see how the Switch performs in the next few months.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Switch did better in March than Wii U in Nov+Dec

Although a Holiday vs March launch also skews things. First year sales will be a better comparison.

Sure, but the Wii U was beasting in January 2013, so the upcoming comparisons are going to be an uphill battle for a Switch that is barely ahead at this point. |
i think im gonna make a Switch vs Wii U vs 3DS NPD thread now.

Did NPD mention that Zelda BOTW (both versions) was the top selling game of the month? I'm sure they would have outlined that in the accolades they mentioned for Zelda.
