Nintendo official PR using GFK number.
Perhaps wrong numbers.
It's Vandal Radio guy, never 100% accurate.

Maybe he tried to guesstimate digital numbers (because I have a hard time believing he has digital data... only Nintendo has this data and they didn't used it on official PR).It's Vandal Radio guy, never 100% accurate.
So Jeuxvideo.com says Horizon was the best launch on ps4, all games included.

Mistake?
Copied From horizon thread
It is only for France or worldwide?
In any case I totally believe it is possible.

39.566 Zelda Switch sold... 88% attach rate.
Perhaps wrong numbers.
We're expecting BIG drop offs for Switch related stuff in the next update right due to stock issues? Zelda and Switch are still OOS on Amazon, shopto etc
UK hates Nintendo so much right now.

I just dont ever see people playing handhelds outside..
So the appeal of a £ 280 + £ 70 controller + games + paid online vs the competition, it has nothing to do with hate, just VALUE. Its way over priced IMO.
Also online party gaming seems a big thing looking at my 13 year old son, parties with school mates is the norm for Destiny / GTA etc. Nintendo is not in that market.
Maybe different countries prioritise different things ?
Idk I remember during ps4 launch there were stock issues but it was because it just kept selling out. They were pumping out tons of them and air lifting them in to meet demand. So maybe switches are just selling that fast. Selling out as soon as they come in. Plus it's a slow week so even with a drop Zelda should still chart.
I think this is the key reason as to why Nintendo isn't very popular in the UK these days, at least compared to other parts of the world. It's costly being a Nintendo fan here. Very costly. And people just aren't willing to pay those prices anymore.
With pretty impressive launch of Switch especially across Europe, what will be the impact on PS4 sales?

It doesn't help that Nintendo products rarely go down in value. I had my eye on a wii u and a couple of games for over a year and the prices never changed (hell some of games/bundles went up in value)
Exactly. The UK is very value orientated when it comes to gaming I have noticed.You cn get a Ps4 for £ 200 with a good controller, £ 229 with a game like UC4 or GTA 5.
For Switch thats £ 400 vs ps4 £ 230 for great game + controller + console.
This was a problem WW because the design of the switch made price reductions almost impossible. It was one of the many fatal flaws of the wii U.

Based on? Because Kimishima implied the opposite.

Thought it sold 80k in the UK and doubled up on Wii U numbers.
France, Nintendo's European heartland country sold 105k. Spain sells 45k
In all honesty I can't actually remember all that well where I read that (I tend not to save sources casually browsing video game info). The fact that the price never really dropped is pretty telling though. The gamepad was a noose around the wii U's neck (though that was just part of the problem).
I'm curious what kimishima implied though. Because the opposite would suggest that the wii was in a great position to drop the price so why did it never happen?
Edit: sorry been reading too much switch stuff and made a mistake in my post. I was obviously talking about the wii U.
Last weeks bumper week consisting of Switch console launch, Zelda Breath of the Wild and Sonys Horizon Zero Dawn carries on this week as we welcome a further 4 new releases, 3 of which debut within the Top 6.
Exactly one year after the record-breaking Tom Clancys The Division (still the biggest launch within any Q1 on record), Ubisoft now debut at No1 on the All Formats Top 40 (Units) with Tom Clancys Ghost Recon: Wildlands, the biggest week 1 launch of the year so far. In terms of week 1 debut units Wildlands is No2 in a very long list of Tom Clancy games, pushing Ghost Recon stablemate Future Soldier down from No4 to No5 in the Tom Clancy games week 1 sales pecking order.
The aforementioned Horizon: Zero Dawn for PS4 only drops to No2 having claimed the record of top-selling launch week game of the year so far - a record that lasted only 1 week. The second big new release debuts at No3 and is Warners budget-priced LEGO Worlds for PS4/Xbox One.
Nintendo drop 2 places to No4 with The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild and Rockstar/Take 2 drop 2 places to No5 with GTA V. Debuting at No6 is Square Enixs PS4 Nier Automata, which topped the Japanese charts a few weeks ago. The final new release within the Top 40 is Nintendos Mario Sports Superstars for 3DS at No37.
I mean did you see the Beta numbers? Don't let the little talk here fool you into thinking it's not popular. It's a co-op multiplayer shooter in March. It's going to get a lot of salesWait what? Wildlands biggest week 1 launch of the year?
I haven't heard a single person even talking about it. I thought it was going to completely bomb. So under the radar.
It's probably not the case but it could have only beaten Horizon by not that large of a margin thanks to being on two platforms and been biggest launch week of the year. It might not be that impressive.Wait what? Wildlands biggest week 1 launch of the year?

Didn't Lego world launch on switch? Thought I saw several post showing it actually had more preorders than the ps4/X1 versions.
