WTF is Nintendo even doing? They want to sustain momentum of their console with a mediocre Kirby game and cardboard? Meanwhile a 4 year old PS4 will continue to win NPD especially with the newest entry of the biggest PS brand in US releasing next month: https://streamable.com/txk0h

Look at this. This is budget. This is a masterpiece.

lol

What are you going to do when it gets a 95 on metacritic? (my prediction)

And after May NPD?

labo will flop, and switch will flat line this year, and  that's if nintendo drops the price during the holidays

 

Oh I'm sorry. Are you Mystic Meg?

He's going to laugh at you for thinking that his opinion will change because of review aggregates.

Agreed, these numbers put things in perspective. Looks like the switch will outsell the X1 by a bit.

xbox was 499$, i don't think switch will out sell xbox in the US.

And Wii U was also $299 same like Switch and Switch again sold 4.5x better than Wii U.

I guess the thing I find odd is that the first February for the likes of the Xbox 1, PS4, Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, did not have 11 months worth of software behind it, Switch on the other hand has Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, Splatoon and other high attached rate games, it should have blown the others and the record out of the water.

Well we can say same thing now for PS4 and XB1, they are 3+ years more on market than Switch and they have incomparible bigger lineup of games in any case, so buy your point they would need to blow away Switch sales every month, but some how that isnt case. :)

But if you relly want, compare this numbers with second february for PS4/XB1.

Fact is that January-February are always slower months, and that Switch has good sales and its keep momentum despite has almost nothing from releases in January-February.

exactly why i see switch losing momentum. people don't realize third party games wont really sell switch  consoles, they already have a established audience.

Again, you dont have any reason to think that Switch is loosing momentum, Switch sold better 4 week february than it did in 5-week January, and despite didnt had almost nothing in Janaury-February period. No, actual people don't realise that 3rd party games are selling quite good on Switch, and that handheld mode is game changer for some people so they can play some 3rd party games despite they are availble on PS4/XB1/PC.

Losing mometum lmao. 

yup, switch will probably be behind  200k or more in april npd, when compared to switch 2017 numbers.

We dont know that, Switch is curently at 550k, in April and March we can expect at least at around 300k for each month, that would mean around 1.1-1.2m with April numbers, and with that number that would be on pair with last year March-April, and offcourse from April sales will go in favour of Switch because last year had huge stock problems.

Would most systems not be behind when comparing them to the month after they launched the year before?

ps4 has done around 906k so it would be on par with switch launch ytd.

Offcourse PS4 done that when it had launch in November, are you relly comparing November with March sales!? :D

I'm talking about the first 3 months of ps4 2014 it did 914k, so it out sold switch march launch. I do you realize that February is bigger then march, and april is a very slow month.

We alrwady know they produced as many as they could for launch month. They even went above their own 2 million WW projection.

Well you said that PS4 Jan to March 2014 outsold switch launch month and I was just clarifying that that isn't an achievement when Nintendo made as many as they could for launch month.
