Because the Thumb is the most important one.

Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Because the Thumb is the most important one.
Because Disgaea and Setsuna sealed Switch third party support for ever.
So basically switch will only have one game while most of other games come to other systems
MH4.5? O MH collab with some other game first?
And you thought the Switch would be hard to get hold of.
Edit: Wait, a clamshell 2DS? Is that a new thing, or just something I've managed to miss seeing until now?
That's a more enthusiastic response than I expected.
It's much easier to make a Switch game and port it to the other platforms than the other way around.
I like this post.👍
For some it's the Switch or mobile.
They are in deep trouble i guess? Thats why they are rushing there.
Yeah, hadn't caught up on all the overnight news.
Isn't it because they A) want to prove themselves as a big developer, and B) don't have alternative sources of income like SE and Konami and are not befuddled like Capcom.
That slime reminds me of Stealth, the ultimate fanboy lol
I wonder how much, if at all, that's being influenced by folks importing the Japanese Digital copy from Amazon.co.jp? Been seeing lots of folks online talking about doing it. Probably would be #1 regardless, but I'm still curious what the numbers are ther.

Does the Japanese copy offer English language?

very very few people will do that. While quite simple, it is too much of hassle for a game that releases a few hours later in your region.
And yes jp MK offers english.
I saw reports for restocks at other retailers too. There could be a big shipment today. For weekend we'll wait to see if there will be another sizable one.

I don't know about N2DSLL making much difference. It seems like the closest comparisons to it would be the 2DS (previous non-3D 3DS model) and Game Boy Micro (late GBA edition after successor machine was out). Both shipped about a half million in Japan.
Dragon Quest 2DS. For when you really really have to play the technologically lesser version of the technologically lesser version.
200k balee 😎
Saw this in the BB thread. Is stock more plentiful of late?
"No Chance.
80k is more like it"
I know who u are talking right there lol.^^
Now, we are going crazy with the number lol.O_O

1 2 Switch out of the top 3... surprising
Todays COMG charts are gonna get lit!
MK8D + large Switch restock + holidays = profit

Botw above FE could suggest zelda is holding up better than i thought it would or maybe just maybe even getting a mario kart boost?

That would be winning, and almost enough if not enough to cross the gap with 3DS. Probably not going to happen either way though.

Mario Kart has arrived.

Holy fuck
Awesome, second > 100% attach rate game incoming!
Looks like the were banking on April being very big as well, nice to see them have so mich success with Switch.

I imagine they're hoping Mario Kart carries them till Splatoon and then it's their holiday line-up. They're probably hoping ARMS does well but it's a new IP and thus always hard to quantify the response. If it does it'll be an extra little push for the system and maybe open up some new demographics.

Wasn't Capcom's original forecast for MH4 2.8 million, despite the game releasing on a system with a much larger install base than the Switch? What else could sell (the bulk of) 2.7 million? Certainly not MHXXHD or yet another non-mainline MH on 3DS.
Yeah, that what I think too. That and the people who are still looking for a system to play Zelda.

I can't wait to see how Splatoon 2 sells... gonna be epic.

I always had faith in Mario Kart even as an enhanced port. If the Wii U showed us anything it's that it's one of Nintendo's strongest and most reliable system sellers if not the strongest console wise (Pokémon remains King handheld wise).
As Polygon show's if there's a single Nintendo IP you don't bet against it's Mario kart.

I wish they had made another pie chart for Breath of the Wild on Switch.
