No wonder DOOM released on the Switch

Nintendo has really Switch'd it around since the beginning of the year.



Nintendo doing great so far and it's only going to get better in November.



Congrats Switch and expecting to see more data from PS4 and X1 to see how far they were from Switch instead of broad mix of the 3 good seeling systems of Nintendo on the month.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

2017 is without a doubt, Nintendo's year. What a turnaround.

Destiny 2 is selling really well. Also sorta surprised yo see shadow of war #1. Didn't know the games were that popular. It's sales are also up 20% so that's impressive.



Gran Turismo debuted below a Forza game. Now that's something I never expected to see.

To be fair Forza had 2 weeks more sales( I think GT would have taken it  head to head), but both seems to done pretty badly even with digital sales.
