Nice for Nintendo, I'm curious to see if they can maintain momentum with Minecraft, SF2, ARMS and Splatoon 2 until some of the big guns like Mario start launching.

No this is what have affected 3DS sales in the USA!
https://www.google.gr/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=PVUcWZXrJ-HJXquTgagI#q=3ds+sold+out&spf=1495029042950 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8407470 As of April, no 3ds/2ds model was available in the eshops of all major american retailers, they had the prompt ''check in stores'', Amazon/Walmart were selling from third parties at inflated prices. Just wait for New 2ds xl in july for safe conclusions! |
They could have sold more but not much imo. The Switch has all the handheld hype in America atm.
Keep up that momentum Nintendo!

Ha, you imply that Splatoon 2 isn't a big gun! I wont be surprised at all when it's outsells Zelda.
| NATO said: If you take it at face value, from the weekly sales last posted on VGC, the average has dropped to 70k, but what is more likely is that it's gone something like this: Also, I suspect with those sorts of numbers, while switch may have held on to US, it may be #2 worldwide for april, not by a huge margin but still. |
With Mario Kart at the end of the month, it should have a big boost at some point. So probably more like:
90k - 75k - 50k - 100k - 70k
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.

Great for Nintendo!!! finnaly are getting a bit better.
Absolutely amazing if ps4 would be above 200k!
Haha.... These console manufacturers are something else...
Now we are not just getting numbers from Nintendo again but talk about how many months in a row they have won.
Just as if the last 4 years never happened.

You're on a npd thread, USA..
| Frank_kc said: It would be interesting to see the split of 350k between PS4 and XBone....I would say 220K PS4 vs 130k XBone |
I think XB1 barely did 100k this month in the US, probably closer to 250k PS4.
May is looking to be a repeat of april.

Yeah but being above 100k isn't same with being at 60k levels...
Anent switch having all the handheld console hype in America... At 299$ with 60$ games and not being so portable/durable? ( the superiority of switch hardware and software for a handheld console, probably won't justify all these for someone who games exclusively on handheld consoles and for parents/kids, unless they have monetary comfort )
You exaggerate!
[ Switch main attraction is that it offers home console and handheld console experience for just 299$, or being an inexpensive home console with which you're playing on tv lying on the sofa in your house and you can keep playing if you have to go to the toilet or outside home for instance. As for the average handheld console gamer, who expended 169-199$ ( or less if we include 2ds ) for 8th gen portable console ( who wasn't it purchasing at 249$ ) and 40$ for its games, a more compact and afforable switch revision is needed ]
Your assumption is possibly based on something fallacious! ''Oh look that huge early switch sales numbers, this can't be from home console gamers, given the wii u or other Nintendo home console commercial flops, so it's handheld console gamers since Nintendo has scored big numbers in that market every gen'' People can be interested on games that are on a console though, that they don't like its concept, its price e.t.c, consequently they don't purchase it but they will probably acquire its sucessor if it satisfies their standards.
( Nintendo promotes it as a home console that you can play with it everywhere and anyhow! )
Switch might have enticed some of the wii audience ( casuals and multi-console hardcore gamers ), or NES/SNES/N64 players, or even gamers that have never touch a Nintendo game before and were enchanted by TLOZ BOTW or the switch concept!
