VGChartz says that Switch is at 3.7M for Europe.

And 3.6m for Japan, but they are not accurate in any case.

Why is Vgchartz soooo behind when we get weekly data sales from MC and Famitsu?

Pocky Lover Boy!

Switch is dominating Japan. Should pass ps4 in a year.

I think Nintendo should try to get Animal Crossing ready for this year. Smash will be big but besides that they don't have a major title for Japan this year (assuming DQXI doesn't come out this year). If they could do Animal Crossing and Smash in 2018 and then Dragon Quest and Pokemon in 2019 that'd keep Japan going crazy. I figure eventually once Switch is millions ahead of PS4 in Japan the next Monster Hunter game and Final Fantasy might actually come out on Switch, which would be huge, cuz it'd be stupid to not make those games for Switch.

Very close and better is not same thing, but VGChartz numbers are very often inaccurate in any case, for Japan they are using MC and Famitsu numbers so they are more accurate than there are Europe, so most accurate are Nintendo official shipped numbers buy regions.

Great. Now please Nintendo bring a new Animal Crossing for the Switch, please

Oh, and an new Pokemon too.

There's no way they're not making an Assasin's Creed game for Switch.

Those are great numbers. The Switch is going to become a beast in Japan. I just hope this means JRPGs start coming to the console more frequently.

That's what I'm hoping for too. That the Switch's success will mean lots of JRPGs.
