Also Mat confirmed that Trials of Mana sold more on Switch in the US than on PS4.

I'm not surprised by this; it seems like the majority of multiplat Japanese games with release date parity sell more on the PS4 in Japan and more on the Switch in the west.

This isn't crazy, this is TOTAL MADNESS HAHAHAHAA !!

How did we end up from "Corona virus will kill the market sales" to "Corona virus causes the market to rise to unprecedent high".

Kind of incredible, especially Switch performance there, probably seeing it's peak year easily in terms of sold-in alone.

Also, whilst being almost impossible to find in all the 3 major regions.



DON'T WIN ME CHIBI BUDDY DON'T WIN ME.

ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF FRIEND CODE:- 5129 1175 1029. MESSAGE ME.
ANDY MURRAY:- GRAND SLAM WINNER!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

With new stimulus checks being proposed we could definitely see one of the largest summers for hardware sales ever.



This boom is going to do wonders for late spring/summer games like Xenoblade, PM origami, GOT and even TLOU 2 despite fan backlash. I expect ever greens to benefit hugely as well, MK8 deluxe to ship 2.5m worldwide for Q1.

Interesting to know if anyone made one of those bold sales predictions about MK8D? i know some guy or guys said Smash would sell 25m and Odyssey 20m and they were mostly told to stop living in cloud cukoo land. If Someone said 40m for MK8D back in 2017 then i think they would have faced ridicule like nothing seen before.

Complete Nintendomination! And Switch is leading the pack! It took over 10 years to beat the Wii record!

The Switch is a complete monster in America and I feel this fact doesn't get talked about here when discussing whether the Switch will really overtake the PS4. I think its safe to say that the margin of success Switch will have over PS4 in Japan and America will be able to make up for its shortcoming against PS4 in Europe.
