The difference here is, Xenoblade is Monolith's main series. That has always been their jam, that's what they are good at.

The only reason Pikmin gets sequels is because that franchise is Shigeru Miyomoto's baby.

I'm not suggesting ARMS was a failure. Infact, I admit that it did quite well for what it was. It probably earned more profit's than Xenoblade 2, as you suggested. However, if you're Nintendo, do you send the Kosuke Yabuki team to.....

a) Make Mariokart 9. A game that is basically guaranteed to sell at least 10 million units on Switch (probably much more than that)

b) sequel to ARMS, something that may not even hit 2 million (first game only sold as well as it did because next to nothing on the switch when the game launched. Now, that advantage will also be gone).

You could put another EPD team on it, sure. But what team? Take the koizumi team off 3D Mario? Take the Aonuma team off Zelda? Take Nogami team off Splatoon? Heck no, to all of these. The only one that would do it is 1,2 Switch/Labo team.

I like nintendo, they make great games, i'm just talking about sales, switch is doing great, but it won't get be selling near ps4.

You might get surprised soon enough

In fact, saying not near PS4 sales when it did around 15M for the last fiscal year, which is near PS4 sales of the time (2014-2015) is pretty self defeating.

LOL yea games that i have beaten this gen. bloodborne, MGSV, witcher 3, uncharted 4,  evil with in, and batman. games that i'm getting soon are GOW, nioh, evil with in 2, and resident evil 7. I bought a wiiu on ebay, to catch up on nintendo games, but i'm in colombia, and its hard to focus, when i'm meeting so much woman here lol.

Treat them! Don't loose your precious time posting so much!

PS4 in 13.5 months sold through 18.5 million, switch in 13 months is probably at 15.5 million sold through.

Just curious, cause I never see you talk about actual games on here just sales lol. And curious as to why you'd buy a Wii U instead of a Switch. Are they hard to come by in South America? I did love the Wii U, but it really pales in comparison...mine has been gathering dust for 1 year. 

VGC should be pretty much on track here, maybe even slightly undertracked. In this time period, there are generally around 1-1.5 Million unsold consoles on shelves and transit, not 2.3 as you are projecting. Like I said, VGC is trailing by 1.6M, and while that is a bit high for the season, it could still be considered very good tracking.
