But they have momentum, what with the whole worlds most powerful console on the way.

Expected result, but still congrats on a good launch, Nintendo. Have to see if it can keep the momentum going beyond the launch months. Would also be interesting to see how close the PS4 came to it.




Every fucking year there should be more people on XBL. You've sold an entire years worth of units!

There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Omg those Switch numbers are soooooo amazing. I'm really happy for Nintendo.
Zelda slaying too.

I'm so confused, Zelda has a more than a 100% attach ratio on Switch...?

Wait wha..... Zelda outsold the console? 



 

Those are great sales, though hopefully Nintendo has learned the right lessons from this launch.

Good marketing + a real big time killer app + system that doesn't look like a toy = success.

They need to continue to have games that appeal like Zelda and Splatoon through out the Switch's life cycle and need to continue the type of marketing they are doing now. Do *not* start running tons of ads with little kids in them Nintendo, even little kids don't want that.

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I bought Zelda near launch even though I was only able to get my Switch until a week ago. So I wasn't the only one. :P
