Switch is the second succesful story of the year, only behind BotW. This year is only about Nintendo.

That's a pretty narrow statement. Great year for Nintendo, no doubt, but only Nintendo? If you're a Nintendo-only user who refuses to enjoy anything else, sure, but no real gamer is gamer is going to ignore what PS4 has brought to the table this year, or the major third party experiences that are not on Switch.

"real gamer"

Lmao

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Excluding the biggest software seller and not aligning launch years sure makes for great numbers.

Switch would still be ahead. Not only because BotW sold 1:1, but Switch games are $60, where as most other Nintendo games were $40 (well, AFAIK, Wii and every handheld game were $40 before the Switch).

Reminder NPD now tracks SW by revenue, not units sold.

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.
