I want to say I think i said 50-60 mil.I thought the console would do well, but I did not imagine it would sell like this, even more so after the Wii U's poor sales.
Judging from the Letter avatars and banned usernames most of them are on Reee now too.The replies on the first page are pure gold.
Comparable. Because they released in different times of the year they enjoy their holiday season sales at different points of their timeline, but the Switch isn’t tracking behind the PS4. Which is amazing, the PS4 has been rightfully praised for the sales beast it is, yet the Switch isn’t any less of it.asked this in another thread but got no reply, how is the switch doing in terms of how fast the ps4 reached those levels of sales vs time

You posted DOA in October 2018Sweet thanks.
Apparently I didn't in this thread. Damn it.

I think the system will fall somewhere between the Wii U and Gamecube in terms of success, matching the Gamecube at the best.
Nintendo needs to tighten their belt and make sure their software and hardware is as profitable as possible to weather the storm.

In all fairness that seemed like a joke in face of good Switch results already by then (18 months on the market). If you check the posts by then, people were already pointing out how wrong the DOA comments where.Well hot damn. Idk why it didnt come up in search for me. Clearly I need to keep my day job and not be an analyst.
Looking at that history i said 40 million liftetime but then said DOA in 2018...what the fuck was i talking about.
Ah ok that makes sense. Sounds like something I would do.The interesting part is how the first Nintendo Switch trailer (October 2016) people were actually very positive about it and many could see it being a success but then the January 2017 unveil event came and people started overreacting and going WHAAAT THESE GUYS ARE CRAZY THAT ONE GUY LAID ON THE COUCH WHILE PLAYING WITH SPLIT CONTROLLERS, I DON'T WANT THAT. DOA. And nothing had actually changed from the exciting concept presented to us a few months before.

That first trailer was so good. Nintendo perfectly nailed the feeling of fun and friendship. I also think the significant upgrade in aesthetics from The Wii U helped a lot.The interesting part is how the first Nintendo Switch trailer (October 2016) people were actually very positive about it and many could see it being a success but then the January 2017 unveil event came and people started overreacting and going WHAAAT THESE GUYS ARE CRAZY THAT ONE GUY LAID ON THE COUCH WHILE PLAYING WITH SPLIT CONTROLLERS, I DON'T WANT THAT.

Is this why some people pissed at switch for selling well? They expected/wanted to system to fail?not a chance in hell.
GAF trashed the Wii launch and Wii reveal. Went nuts for WiiU.
Going by GAF it should be massive.
Yes.Is this why some people pissed at switch for selling well? They expected/wanted to system to fail?

The Switch has the potential to sell to not only Wii U owners but also 3DS owners. That's a potential 75 million customers. I don't understand the negativity about potential Switch sales quoting WiiU and even GameCube numbers. Nintendo will sell four or five million Switch consoles in the first few months off the back of hardcore Nintendo fans and when that surge starts to fade Splatoon 2 will give it a huge boost in Japan and E3 will hopefully show what most of their development teams have been working on. The holidays will obviously be huge like with most Nintendo hardware not named Wii U especially with Mario launching and Black Friday deals. Switch could outsell Wii U inside 18 months.
Outside of the gaf bubble Switch seems to have been received quite positively because those people weren't obsessed with specs, core third party support and fake leaks about $199 price points, extra content to ports which didn't happen (MK8), resurrections of extremely niche titles (Mother 3) and cross over games (Rabbids X Yoshi).
Switch also won't be hamstrung by price cuts like Wii U was with the dumb expensive Gamepad and extremely exotic silicon. Switch could potentially be $199 by late 2018 which will then open it up to the massive casual audience which are on a budget.
You weren't far off with the price drop either, since Switch Lite launched late 2019 at $199.Quoting myself. Outside of price drops, I was close!

This certnatly aged well /sNope
Not at all lmao
I don't think it'll come close to outselling the Wii U actually
With a new zelda game, it might.Nintendo Switch Sales Surpass 61 Million, Equalling The Mighty NES
Next target? Wiiwww.nintendolife.com
Nice to come back to this thread once in a while.
The Nintendo Switch has just passed 61 million units sold, the Wii's hardware total looks very possible at this point.
asked this in another thread but got no reply, how is the switch doing in terms of how fast the ps4 reached those levels of sales vs time
I found my only post in this thread. Searching individual threads is pretty easy on the current GAF platform.I'm not going to lie, I think a Nintendo theme park would be awesome.
It will sell fine. It looks like a quality product, does what it says on the tin, and the messaging about what it does is far far better already than 3DS or Wii U ever was. It already has a better announced games line up than Wii U had in its whole damn life, with more to come. GAF gets more ridiculous with dumb shit each and every day, I swear.
it's a huge success
the best place to play downgraded old games in mobile format. No phone comes close.
In that time ? It’s a console but with les power than PS4 and Xbox One , was the meme, neglecting the portable aspect.Dam, how did people actually think the switch would bomb??
