Again, you again missing point that Switch is not only handheld (its home console in same time) so of course it will not depend on kid market, and even 3DS for instance started being more appealing for kids when got price point $150 or lower while Switch is $300 product. And again, point is that Nintendo this time around is marketing Switch for young adults on first place, that's totally different to Wii U, 3DS and Wii marketing.

well agree to disagree. all i see is the same nintedo  games selling millions, so i don't see how its reaching to a different market.the switch commercials are of course much better. because putting kids makes it seem like it's a product for kids, while using young adults  makes the product seem like it's for everyone.i also already told you most nintendo homes consoles sell bad after playstation came out.

You can disagree but I talking about clear facts, while you are actually one that gave future (negative) predictions. But fact that games like Zelda BotW and Mario Odyssey are one of best games and those games are attracting people that are not only Nintendo fans, and than those same people are buying other good exlusives on system. Offcourse, Nintendo marketing Switch for young adults because everybody want to be like young adults (not just kids). Talking about home consoles, guess what, Switch is very similar to Wii, great concept like Wii (actually Switch concept can easily have wider appealing on market), have great system seller games out of gate and also have great marketing, and if add to that one point that Wii didnt had but Switch will have and thats all handheld and home consoles games on same platform.

If Zelda/splatoon/3d mario are all the highest selling games in their franchises lifetime wouldnt that mean its reaching a new audience? Ex Highest zelda previously was Twilight Princess and thats around 8.5mil lifetime. BotW will be way ahead of 10mil lifetime

The games are some of there best work in a decade, and it's nintendo next console and a handheld, so it makes sense that sales  will go up for those games.

And thats exatly reason why those same games and point that Switch is Nintendos console and handheld will lead Switch much beyond of only Nintendo fans.

For instance we already seeing people saying that Zelda BotW is their first Zelda ever or Switch their first Nintendo console ever or in long time.

In case anyone is interested, most stores are out of the gt sport psvr bundle for $199 but I found Walmart has it for even cheaper at $179 with in store pickup. (Shipping not available). Luckily I had a store close to me that had it still and I bought it. I’ll pick it up tomorrow after work.

Shipments don't arrive before Christmas anymore so sales will plummet. Looks like ps4 is going to end the yearly with the top 2 items.

If you look at Japan amazon you can be sure monster Hunter world ps4 will be selling well. But this is Nintendos biggest week of the year in Japan and you can see a lot of their products above monster Hunter ps4. This will be reflected in next week's media create with extremely strong Nintendo hardware and software numbers.



Holy moly, Switch hit 2nd place. Trying to tear away from the pack.

Ya if switch doesn’t win I’ll be pretty shocked. 



Looks like SMO will stay the number 1 physical item of the year sold directly from amazon.

Nintendo owns the top 4 spots this year in this regard! Nothing can stop this train intill it does!
