Why are you lying?

They have downgraded their shipment forecasts before.  Several times.

Yeah, I remember especially during the Wii U era, going from like 9-15 millions to 2-3 millions.

Or the Fortnite Bundle, cause I believe that basic non-sense (bundle of a free game doesn't make sense to me) will be a huge success

Very good numbers. There goes the GC goalpost, on to the N64 goalpost. Seems like the cliff is not in sight yet. heh, whaddya know.

You'd think you would be positive about this good news but you just had to bring in negativity from a single vgchartz poster. 

 

Can anybody go into detail about the online number? Does online subscriber mean people who signed up to the online when it was free? And now now half of them have subbed to the paid online? 

 

Any idea how many signed up when it was free? 



AJNShelton on 30 October 2018

There were nothing to sign up before the Online launch

Why link to Resetera when there is a really nice official Nintendo website about those numbers?

I'm on my phone and I'm traveling, it was hard to to make a proper presentation so someone posted the reset era link and I copy/pasted it, and it would be rude to not mention the original source of my post

Furukawa said that 50% of the online users bought the annual plan. The free trial was just like a week. He was talking about people who actually went to buy the 1-year membership.

Those software numbers are sweet. And to imagine they'll probably be beaten by Animal Crossing and Pokemon Gen 8 in 2019-2020. Nintendo really has found their footing once again.

It seems that Switch did not lose momentum, it's up compared to last year. ;)

I don't think you realise what impossible means, it harder but not impossible.

 

Switch last year in October-December period sold 7.24m with Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2, this year in same time period have Super Mario Party, Pokemon Lets Go and Smash Bros Ultimate, only that is far stronger lineup compared to last year, plus Switch this year has plenty available bundles that didn't had last year. So with that all on mind, Switch could easily this year in same time period sell around 10m. Fact that Nintendo didnt changed 20m forecaste means they counting most for Holiday sales and Pokemon Lets Go and Smash Bros Ultimate.

Even if Switch dont hit 20m, it will be very close to that number in any case, like 17-18m in worst case.

nintendo never  downgrades there forecast,  well see what happens they will ne lucky to match last year shipments imo.

You're so inconsistent, one post you say they will be flat for the year. Then in another, they will be lucky to match last year's shipments. Which will it be?

If this wasn't mentioned yet, the website also shows that Switch have surpassed the total software sales of the Wii U lifetime.
