Is this list for multiplats combined or seperated per platform?

Where did anyone say it's globally?

The thread title should be more specific. Anyways ps4 is still leading the switch in the us this year because of the massive sales in june.

NPD is always US specific.You cant get more specific than that.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Thats good news for Nintendo.And with October looking like the Switch will sell even better, it seems that Nintendo is going with guns blazing into the holidays.

One thing should be noted though.Rabbids is at number 7, and thats its first month of tracking.This should indicate that VGC is actually not far off the number and seems that either it sold much better digitally, or the game underperformed in the US(but compensated in Europe).

Bro its so off. Its number 7 in separate skus. Its at least 100k

They do? That's news to me. We have like one new thread per week with news that some Indie multiplatform title sold best on the Switch. Why would Switch owners buy Indie games but not big ones? We should wait until November to talk about this. Then Skyrim, Doom, L.A. Noire and Resident Evil will release on the Switch.

Might have to wait longer than that. I plan on getting all those games but Mario comes first then I get those games.

Without RDR2 and 90% of other multiplatform games? I seriously don't see what Nintendo could do till the new Pokemon game to not let the hype to die out. Wii and DS created a completely new target audience. That's not the case with the Switch.

Animal Crossing (New Leaf outsold X/Y in Japan). Fire Emblem. Smash Bros. 4 Deluxe. Kirby. Yoshi. Whatever other smaller scale 1st party titles they come out with. Any additional 3rd party games (Dragon Quest XI, Project Octopath Travler, just to name a few) that come over to Switch along with the many ones they have now. 

And part of what sold people on the Wii and DS was the tech/ hardware at the time. The Switch, while the concept isn't new, the execution is the best it has been and the sales reflect that. 

At this particular stage, the hardware is selling itself, all Nintendo has to do is keep the steady stream of 1st party titles and 3rd party titles flowing and they won't even need Pokemon for a long while.

Yoshi, Kirby, Fire emblem. Yeah compare games that will be lucky to hit 2 million to RDR2 which will sell 10-15 million on the PS4 alone. The line-up is too japanese for the avarage gamer and even then PS4 will have the biggest japanese games next year (Kingdom Hearts III and MH:World). A casual will not get wet for ''Project Octopath Traveler'' (that name lol).

I can agree with all this. Luckily for me I'm not the average game and I love RPG games. Can't wait for Projet Octopath Traveler. The name is so stupid but the demo was awesome.

Globally in US, I presume? /s

Where did anyone say it's globally?

Title wasn't specific enough, I see its changed now....it's just an old joke when any console wins NPD.

Anyway, great numbers...Switch stills appeals to me as much as WiiU (close to zero, apart from Zelda and few other titles), but I understand why many people are liking it that much (my brother being one of those always on the move gamers).
