Splatoon 2 is only 300k from beating the first game. It did with a smaller user base and less time. That game is big. It is also the most leggy game out there by being the bestselling game that didn't release this week. Splatoon 2 is something else.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

At this point, the thing I'm most interested in is seeing how long Breath of the Wild can keep this up. Hopefully with a good holiday boost, it'll have a pretty good shot at 1 million.

MH XX still selling, but I think Switch still needs another test

PS4 is killing it.

I feel like there was some discussion over the definition of "killing it" in some recent Japanese sales thread, so I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Anyway, I was talking about Switch - it's clearly on its death bed.

He clearly meant the PS4 is killing the Switch.



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.

Yeah. I wonder if we will see a new IP come from the Switch that will be as popular as Splatoon 2.

Ouch GT Sport. Decent week for the PS4, I guess GT didn't have the power to give it a bigger boost in sales. Next week the Switch will explode.

Yep, and that is why Switch is on the death bed.

Decent start to GTS considerng all the misinformation going out about it, and taking into account digital sales. As people get there head wrapped around it, and see just how vast the single player is now that arcade counts towards your career. I think the legs on GT Sport will be incredible. With massive amounts of DLC already announced, and for free mind you, I still believe this will be the biggest selling GT game to date. The WILL NOT BE A GRAN TURISMO 7.

GTS will finc its place with the classic GT croed as they push the car count, and inttoduce classic, indy, nascar, f1, sprint, etc., and they add additional real world and classic GT tracks. The E-Sports/FIA stuff will reach a whole new audience, and with the massive userbase, GT will become the defacto home of digital professional racing.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

That's ok, but the content should've been there at release. Now the damage is done.
