Ow wauw,then maybe inplayed another ring fit?

Felt a lot more like a modern version of wiisport but bit more fun to play.

Didnt see any story or anything that resambles a jrpg....

But o well.

Maybe you're thinking of Fitness Boxing: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/fitness-boxing-switch/

Noo the one where you have to do certain body moves to do something in the game.

People do call it a excercise rpg.

But to put it in the same vein as chrono cross ,final fantasy 7, xenoblade etc is kinda  a huge stretch..

great results. 

can pikmin 3 deluxe eventually leg it's way to 3-4 million? 

3m is a big ask for Pikmin 3 Deluxe. It's at 2.04m with only 0.10m of that coming in the past quarter.

The most optimistic scenario here is that the game was severely overshipped in its launch quarter which in turn would allow it to have sell-through of greater than 0.10m in its second quarter, therefore making it have better legs than it looks like on the surface value. But even then the chances to see the game in Nintendo's financial results again would be virtually zero, because Pikmin 3 Deluxe isn't going to ship 1m+ copies in any fiscal year from now on.

The limited data doesn't allow it to rule out 3m lifetime for sure, but it's definitely not looking good right now.

I may be off the mark here then with my original assumption, but is 2m+ a good result for Pikmin 3 Deluxe if that's the height it stays at or would you say that's slightly underwhelming? I know it's the best selling Pikmin now at least which is great but could Nintendo have expected more?

The Switch number does not include digital only titles, the PS4 number does.

The 587 million number is from Nintendo, which includes Digital

The 1562 million number is from Sony, which also includes Digital

The 587 million number includes digital sales of games that have a physical version. NOT games that are only available digitally. The 1562 million number includes games that are only available digitally.

How is that hard to understand? That means the actual Switch software sales number is bigger than 587 million.

Yeah, I'm sure the Switch is well over 587m right now.

We'll get numbers from the CESA Games White Papers even if Nintendo won't update it anymore.

I wonder if the Pikmin mobile game will boost sales



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I would have never thought that Ring Fit would surpass 10M after seeing its first trailer...

Also first party sales on ps4 are insane to compared to the other gens.

Nintendo always sold gigantic numbers so its not that special (even thou switch first party sales are insane)

Lol ... okay dude. 



Looks like a good time to come out with a players choice line of games to boost games that have slowed down quite a bit. Xenoblade 2, Bayonetta 2, Astral Chain, Yoshi Island, Donkey Kong, and Kirby should all be $29.99 players choice games.
