Launch aligned the NSW is tracking ahead of the PS4 by 10.57m and Wii by 5.28m, however it can't keep pace with the Juggernaut NDS and has fallen 14.88m units behind. NSW still has a shot of beating life time NDS numbers if it has a stronger tail which is possible.
People seem to be suggesting just because Nintendo cant match the FY 20-21 success during the height of the pandemic, that Switch sales will somehow fall of a cliff, when if you look at the chart Nintendo are still outperforming FY-19-20 in the current year by quite a margin, and still on track for big numbers.Software is almost keeping pace with the 2020 spike but hardware is 3.03 million down in this quarter yoy which is far more than i was expecting.
Phew! Good thing you jumped in front of PS2 to protect it. God knows what would have happened had you not intervened about a post that had nothing related to PS2.
I don't think it did, considering it's alreadt the best selling Mario Golf game ever made.I have to think Mario Golf underperformed. I was going to get it, but watching trailers decided against it.
The PS2 was not even mentioned, of course if the Switch was to become the best selling console then it would surpass the PS2, but still your jump to defend it's honor was very swift, then your next post about the PS2 being dethroned pretty much confirmed it.Nothing related to the PS2? Poster speaking about Switch becoming best selling console of all time dethroning the ps2, because it is the best selling console of all time.
Think next time before you post.
With the high software ratio on the Switch every franchise has the potential to be the best selling every, and I am convinced they are delaying Metroid Prime 4 to give it the best chance of selling great numbers on the Switch.I don't think it did, considering it's alreadt the best selling Mario Golf game ever made.
Nothing is catching Mario kart at this point, however the success of Animal crossing compared the the series best seller New Leaf which sols around 13 million copies, can't be underestimated.Those software sales are nuts. Didn't expect AC:NH to come close to MK8
Versus the number of consoles it is a small attach rate. Not saying you are wrong though.I don't think it did, considering it's alreadt the best selling Mario Golf game ever made.
Define plenty of people, at the moment I can only see Nintendo doing more harm than good with a Switch pro, the masses simply do not care about any of this, and it can only cause confusion imho.If they aren’t stubborn like Iwata was with refusing to release Wii HD they can. They need a Switch Pro. Haters will say it’s just graphics who cares. I don’t care. But plenty do.

You stated an opinion not fact, we do not know what the Switch will end up on sales wise, and any attempt to suggest otherwise is purely subjective, my comment was in jest as you do seem to be defending the PS2, which I am sure it does not require.I simply stated a fucking fact. Not jumping to defend the ps2. Stop trying to start some pathetic console war argument.

The pandemic boosted a lot of companies sales, in particular consoles and media, but the Switch is still selling very well for a console that's four years old, and still selling for pretty much full price.Switch sales are down by a lot vs last quarter, we shall see how switch OLED does to rekindle sales. But this could mean it peaked last year.
If you feel the need to, swear again, it always makes your posts seem more grown up.
Yeah Switch is just breaking franchise records it is totally annihilating them. I think Zelda will have the biggest percentage growth increase though, previous best selling Zelda (not adding remakes/remasters) was TP with 8.8m versus 24.1m for BOTW and another 1.6m for the Wii u version which is almost a 200% increase.Nothing is catching Mario kart at this point, however the success of Animal crossing compared the the series best seller New Leaf which sols around 13 million copies, can't be underestimated.
The success of Mario party must have shocked Nintendo, no wonder they rushed the new game out, just in time for the busy holiday period.Yeah Switch is just breaking franchise records it is totally annihilating them.

Isn't it more like 300+ million? i thought first party titles accounted for just below 50% of software sold and about 135 million of them games sold are from the Super Mario brand. Mario is going to break 200 million games on Switch eventually.Out of 680 millions software units sold, 230+ millions of them are from Nintendo IPs alone.....CRAZY!!!

I think they mean first Party software sales are insane the likes of which have never been seen before. Last quarter had (48.60/3.83) a 12.69 attache rate. The overall attache rate is 7.33 and rapidly increasing every quarter, in a couple of years it could have a software attache rate of around 9.Versus the number of consoles it is a small attach rate. Not saying you are wrong though.
Series isnt popular. This entry is. “non-gamers” were heavily promoting during the height of the pandemic frenzy.Animal Crossing numbers are amazing, I knew the series was popular but I had no idea.
Then Switch 2 wouldnt be part of Switch (1) sales.I believe the switch will sell at least 140kk if they release the switch 2 in the end of 2024.
Nintendo still didn't play with the price cut card.
Agree SMP has performed astonishingly well despite being derided by the fanbase however the growth from 9.31m previous best to 16.48m while huge is not as large as AC or Zelda. I wonder how well Superstars can perform, if there is any justice in the world it should do better because it is a far superior game but of course it has less time to sell then SMP but has a bigger install base off the bat. I just hope people who were burned by SMP give superstars a chance.The success of Mario party must have shocked Nintendo, no wonder they rushed the new game out, just in time for the busy holiday period.
For the statement he was quoting to be true, Switch would have to pass PS2 in sales. How on earth isnt it related to PS2? Or do you not see this is a thread about sales?Phew! Good thing you jumped in front of PS2 to protect it. God knows what would have happened had you not intervened about a post that had nothing related to PS2.

That way we can all play every 3D Zelda game that was released on a home console on the Switch
Honestly they have more than enough time to make a great, polished game.I can't imagine the pressure on the team given the task of creating MK9.
The sales and longevity of that game are staggering.
If Nintendo brings the GB/GBC/GBA/DS libraries to Switch, WW HD, TP HD, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Paper Mario: Color Splash and plans to release a sequel to Super Mario Odyssey then it might be able to grow to become the greatest system of all time. But without those elements in play, idk if it can sell 158 Million like the PS2If they continue to sell the Switch until 2025 without making a "Switch 2" then it has a very good shot at beating the PS2, and frankly, that's not an unimaginable scenario. BOTW2 and Prime 4 are already coming to Switch, they can do an Odyssey 2 which is just more maps, Pokémon runs on toasters, etc.
I still have the golden cartridge for N64. The chants add so much to that level; its atmosphere. Favorite Temple of mine as wellUnfortunately OOT doesn't really count for me unless the original Fire Temple music gets restored. The censored version is pure shit. Honestly spoils the game for me.
False.It will never come even close to the ps2.

No they hate Sony on here.is NeoGaf very pro-Sony?
It is a handheld. Always has been. It has a battery.If it does pass the PS2 it will be be seen as a handheld on here.
Extremely easy: They introduced characters from other franchises, so the only logical step is to continue that trend and even create items specifically from those franchises, as well as more tracks.I can't imagine the pressure on the team given the task of creating MK9.
