Wow. Mind blown. A full priced, 3-year old port, launched in the 2nd month after a new console launch without much marketing (at least based on my own personal observations) is not a scenario where I would expect any records to be broken.
Also congrats to Nintendo for crossing 1 million consoles sold in the US!
NPD results are going to be interesting to watch in the next few months.

As someone who skipped the Wii U (the first Nintendo portable or home system I have passed on) I love the idea of all those Wii U titles on the go as I play handhelds a lot (3DS and PSV have had major play time). |
Aye nuts actually thinking about it, had and still have NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, GBP, GBC, GBA, GBASP, GBAMicro, DSlite, 3DSXL and Switch. This puts the Wii-U in line with the popularity of the Nintendo machine which actually caused blindness from playing its 13 or so games for me.
I would think there is a a good number of people who would have loved to support the WiiU but just simply couldn't get behind what was a fairly rough machine from the off, if Nintendo salvage all the decent first party software from the platform and move it over the to Switch with Deluxe editions then the WiiU will take a strange place in history of consoles as basically a "not quite there" tech demo of the Switch.
Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive
People are very hungry for more games to play on the NS form factor. Congrats Nintendo.

I've seen a few places point out the attach rate was accidently based on the NPD March figures. |
Yes, that totally make sense, because NPD said Switch sold 925k in March, so around 45% attach rate is actually around 450k.
WOW

And this is just the start. We have a few years ahead of us, completely filled with logical fallacies. |
It's shaping up to be like back in the good old Wii days! Already Bomberman, 1-2-Switch, Puyo Puyo vs. Tetris and Mario Kart (because port) are not "real games" and people only buy them because there are no games for the Switch. It's gonna be fun to read these topics when ARMS, Splatoon, etc. hit the market.
I said it multiple times and will say it again, Switch is the new Wii but this time won't sell as fast but it will sell longer so yeah 100m is a lock.

There's no need to exaggerate what i said. MK8D being the first AAA Nintendo game since the Switch's launch is obviously relevant (45% of US Switch owners buying it day 1 makes that clear), i say as much in that comment, but your original claim is still wrong. You didn't add any qualifiers for what constitutes a "game", so saying it's the Switch's 2nd is inaccurate. |
It's pretty easy to understand that it is the 2nd worthy release on the switch. I don't need to to say it.
EricFabian said:
No, is not. Maybe for you. But there is now 2 games in a road to sell 1M each. So you are wrong anyway |
Yes and the 2nd is Mario Kart.
Launch games selling 1 million means nothing just look at ridge racer. The claim that super bomberman is pushing units is baffling, if it was a system seller then it would have not had a 7 year hiatus.

Well, they are right. Switch owners, as me, are rare people who can't play on other consoles, not even mobile, so Switch games are our only option.
