Not bad at all for Zelda.
tfw you realise that Zelda: Botw saw bigger first month digital sales in Japan than in US (25,000), at least according to Famitsu.
Complaining about too many FE releases... What a time to be alive.
Nah I want my HD Fire Emblem for Switch... 2018 - for all we know the western release might be 2019 anyways.
Are you sure that's what i'm doing? 🤔

It's been dropping several k per week so evidently will be doing negative numbers by the time DQ comes out.
Like the Wii U in its first months in Europe. Good old times.
Naah, the good old times were when Princess Peach wrote the PR for May 2007 NPD results. Those were good
high

Wait what? What happened there or were you litterally high.
That's some good numbers for Snipperclips.

A very solid start for the Switch in Japan. 40k per week with large bumps for four or five games per year would give it yearly sales of around 2.5 million which I think Nintendo would be more than happy with.
I really wish we got as in depth sales stats for the EU countries and America.

I googled the fuck out of that and found nothing. You better not lie about that.
So close to 50K, another success story for the Switch - very much expect Snipperclips to be have surpassed 300K WW at this stage - 500K is doable for the year due to it's price. Wonder if there are other similar smaller projects Nintendo has been working on for the Switch.

NOA sent out PR as if it were written by Princess Peach. And yeah, their PR/Marketing team was probably high from the sheer amount of units sold.
I know right, this lil franchise has come so far...
And that is possible! Unless we get a turnaround like Echoes is managed.

Oh my god this is amazing.
Holy shit! I hope we'll see something similar again.

There is a controller bundle too at least in some parts of the world.

Cocaine parties. Not even once... bwahahaha
I don't think so -- this is an extremely low-margin business compared to almost everything else NV does. I wouldn't be surprised if e.g. the Audi deal was a more significant move for Tegra. Switch is nice, but probably more about mindshare than profit.
they are both gonna be on
VITA 2
this time it will come from Princess Zelda!

It keeps pays for and sustains tegra development for a good decade allowing them to without issue follow other ventures with it. Can't get more of win than that for them. May not be massively profitable but large volume consistent buyer is a high volume consistent buyer.
Idk, this week sales is really a big decline compared to earlier this year, I know that the console won't have any big seller until july but eh, it should do better than this
What makes you so sure about that? Nobody knows how the demand will develop in the different regions in the coming months and Nintendo, aside of the 3DS and Wii U disasters, tend to stay on the conservative side to a fault (them doubling production early on is already a big step).

I can imagine the bossy spoiled Zelda from BOTW penning it now.

Literal peak, it looks like a mountain.
Man, I knew the Wii had been a massive boost to their stock, but never imagined by that much.

Yep and those are "Nintendo-like Profits". Nintendo paid high dividends too then so investors were making bank.

So Switchrs literally can't keep up with demand there huh?
It doesn't make any sense.
Why would they drop the price of a successful system exactly when one of the most popular game is released ?
Splatoon 2 is here to ensure the Switch will sell through summer (and more), so why would they drop the price when they're certain to sell their system ?
Edit : Ok I saw the post explaining a few pages before.

At least the have been recovering, 2013 was a ungly year for them with their stock at $11.5 usd.

I wish i had money to invest at that time in my life god damn.
Just fyi the poster was referring to the original​ 3ds price drop taking place close in its first year to when splatoon 2 is dropping in switches first year. Theres about a four week gap though.

Edit:

Shrooms and LSD.
I think that is not going to be a question lol.^^ With 3DS and Switch version too.
I forgot there was a 3DS version, although it's now the second New 3DS exclusive so that Xenoblade isn't all alone.

I don't remember what the digital was supposed to be for Dark Souls III, but the game may have passed 500K with those additional sales. Whatever FromSoftware is cooking, it's not going to be easy to reach this level of success once again.
Yes just saw that. Edited my post.
Let's hope the Switch keeps going in the same direction for a long while until third party feel confident enough to follow.

You're ignoring the possibility that Switch is but the first of many Nintendo consoles to use Nvidia hardware. There is nothing stopping Nintendo and Nvidia making a nice little GTX 1060 level dedicated home console in time for Holiday 2018. The possibilities are endless, the more hardware options Nintendo offer, the more hardware they will sell.
*Does not include remakes.
Breath of the Wild beat Skyward Sword and is close to surpassing Twilight Princess in Japan.
Curious to see how it will turn out. These are the attach rate numbers for those interested.
Zelda Attach rate
Legend of Zelda 10.5%
Adventures of Link 7.1%
A Link to the Past 9.4%
Ocarina of Time 23.0%
Majora's Mask 10.3%
Wind Waker 20.0%
Twilight Princess 6.9%
Skyward Sword 4%

Not a bad debut for FE Echoes. It's a remake of an unpopular entry, so it did just fine.
Zelda at 500k combined, next stop 600k!
Spelunker did better than I thought it would at 7k.
Switch already at 700k. 1m is just on the horizon.
Next week's numbers should be exciting with MK8D and Golden Week starting. Hoping for 100k Switch units sold, but we'll see how much Nintendo ships out.
As for the PS4, it's doing about as expected for not getting big titles currently. It'll be interesting to see what it settles at in the coming months before DQXI hits.
