Around the Network

Surprised to see PUBG in the tip 10. Top 10 is revenue based and PUBG was $30.



If Xenoblade 2 got in 16th on the software charts,why didn't Nintendo report it earlier when they gave the report about their performance in december? They did mention about Pokemon that is lower on that list,it is kinda weird they forgot about Xenoblade.



Switch Friend Code: SW - 1286-0025-9138

Xenoblade chronicles 2 position on the charts, both overall and Switch centric, makes me happy.Which by the way!Dont include digital!



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

Pokémon may be higher than Xenoblade when combined.  That and it's a bigger IP.  Still, Xenoblade charting is noteworthy honestly.

No pokemon each version outsold xc2. Xc2 had a $100 sku unit and standard is $60 while pokemon games are $40 each. Top software sales here are revenue based.



Zelda is the best selling Switch game this year. If Odyssey and Mario Kart do indeed have 50%+ attach rates, then Zelda's attach rate must be 60%+ or even 70%+.

There's also a Top 10 2017 titles per platform on Mat's video, around the 11 minute mark.

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.

There will be spin as soon as we hear "world wide".

Anyway, great news for the new systems. The Switch is probably already over WiiU LT?

Same could be said about "shortages" and "Japan" in that November thread. 😼

That is another possibility.
