Well Nintendo did reveal sell through of 7 million in late October and 10 million in mid-December so they do announce sell through at times.

The Switch completely and utterly obliterated the Wii U in less than a year. Congrats to Nintendo, they deserve all this success. Also, I'm really happy because Xenoblade 2 reached 1 million sales.

The only reason the Switch is selling so well is because of games stolen from Wii U owners who bought the Wii U to play those games. After the Wii U scam Nintendo should be bankrupt, just like Sega after the Saturn, Atari after the Jaguar or Ouya after the ouya. The only reason they aren't bankrupt is because of asshole "fans" who are playing Wii U ports stolen from people who bought a Wii U to play those games.

If people who skipped the Wii U can play those games without waiting at least 10 years for a port, then yes, they ARE stolen. The value of Wii U was in EXCLUSIVITY. You bought the piece of garbage that was the Wii U because if you didn't, you couldn't play Mario Kart 8 for at least a decade. The value of Wii U was also in its LEGACY, because when you buy a Nintendo console, you expect a console with a great legacy. Then they ported Wii U games from Switch and retroactively destroyed everything the people who bought a Wii U spent money for.

Dude, let it go. Enough is enough. It was funny the first time, now it's just sad to read.

So the reason for why Switch is a success that managed to outsell the Wii U in 10 months is that it got a bunch of Wii U games ported to it. I like that logic. Pure brilliance.

And I very much hope that all of those fake fans get a good spanking for their evilness and that Nintendo erases every code snippet and every asset used in Wii U games and sends all staff that worked on Wii U games to Mars so that no Wii U game can be re-released or re-created.

If that was the case Wii U would have sold less than Virtual Boy. Also nobody would have bought PS4 or XBox One at launch.The whole business model of consoles is based on exclusivity to some extent, otherwise, why buy a console when you can play games on your PC or smartphone?

Breath of the Wild was a Wii U title. Mario Kart 8 was a Wii U title. Splatoon 2 was an asset flip of a Wii U title. The only system seller title for Switch that was new was Super Mario Odyssey.

Also there are a lot more Wii U ports this year: Bayonetta, Donkey Kong, Hyrule Warriors...

If Nintendo didn't port Wii U games and sold the Switch on its own merits and with its own games like they used to then it wouldn't sell nearly as well. But then the Wii U wouldn't be a scam.

So is Xbox looking at becoming the third console. If the switch doesn't stop selling like this they'll pass Xbox in another 2 years.

The people who play GTA and FIFA are casuals who follow the hardcore gamers who buy consoles based on exclusives and expectations. If hardcore gamers didn't buy the PS4 in droves because it's a Playstation then casuals would play GTA and FIFA on PC. In fact Xbox One has pathetic sales now because XBox games are also on PC now.
