Damn, Switch software is just dominating the Amazon charts.

"But ports don't sell consoles"

Lol.

So, you’re saying that the Switch has nothing but ports?

I'm saying it has both ports and new games. 

But for some reason people seem to only count "new" exclusive games, ignoring the fact that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is one of the best selling Switch titles and the same goes for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It doesn't matter in the slightest if it's also available on the Wii U. It's driving console sales. 

There's a nice variety of good upcoming games for the Switch: 

 

- South Park: Fractured But Whole
- Kirby: Star Allies
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
- Dark Souls: Remastered
- Mario Tennis Aces
- Crash Bandicoot: N'sane Trilogy
- Octopath Traveler
- Okami HD
- Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion
- Super Smash Bros. for Switch
- Hollow Knight
- Inside
- Undertale
- Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
- Valkyria Chronicles 4
- Little Nightmares: Complete Edition
- The World Ends With You: Final Remix
- Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana
- Dead Cells
- Mega Man 11
- Wolfenstein 2
- Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Expansion
- Pillars of Eternity 2

 

 

Bolded = new

My math has it at 6.4 games for each Xbox and 6.5 for each ps4.

Back when Sony announced 73,6m consoles sold (nr from dec 31st 2017), they said they had sold 645m copies of games (retail+digital).

645m games / 73,6m consoles = ~8,76  attach rate (back at end of 2017).

Its only going to keep going up, as the PS4 ages.
Plus tons of "must-have" titles are comeing in 2018-2019.

Ya that’s impressive as hell. Shouldn’t have a problem hitting 10.0. Hopefully Xbox is in the same region as that.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Kirby is sold out in US and UK .



Kirby has the potential to break some records for the series.

Let's face it, it will.

Because your avatar, i literally had in my mind Meta Knight saying with his deep voice "let's face it, it will"

 

LMAO



I honestly think it's Smash and not Kirby: that trailer is still making the rounds EVERYWHERE.

Of course, you can approve the awesomeness of Meta Knight *3*

Meta Knight is fucking badass bro. By far one of the best Nintendo character ever.

What people? Because this is literally my first time hearing this or even hearing that ports don't sell consoles in regards to the Switch. Now I could have missed it or maybe it was only like 1 or 2 folks and that's why I never saw it.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

I would say it is the Smash effect moreso than Kirby or the direct driving demand for the Switch right now. Unfortunately leading to it selling out on Amazon though!
