That doesn't even sound plausible. I guess they didn't understock the switch like the wii, so it's a larger launch in numbers, but the interest has already faded. It was faded before launch, I don't see anyone talking about the switch anymore, just zelda.

To be fair the only reason sale numbers were low is because they didn't make anymore console before launch. I'd bet my left nut if they mass produced consoles, the numbers would be higher.

Atleast cabbage patch kids and beanie babies were.

>>369627145
The Wii was the most successful console they ever had at 101m

The Switch is already outselling it right now.
That's not to say it'll do more lifetime sales, but it's really good.

>>369627145
about 600,000 in north america

>>369627320

>>369621939
DS sold more than 150 millions, retard.

>>369627253
I know, but how did it sell at first?

The 3DS didn't sell very well at all at first but now it has over 60m sold. Was the Wii the same?

>>369627401
You could not even buy a Wii for like 2 months after launch. It's sales rate was pretty much as fast as Nintendo could build them.

>>369627401
I don't know, but surely saying that the Switch outdid all other nintendo launches in history must mean it can't all be shit

I know this thread (and board) is for 16 year old console warriors, but shitposting aside: if they beat out the Wii in early sales than Nintendo is on the right track.

The system has potential but isn't quite there yet imo. They need to keep the momentum up by getting a solid lineup, plus it needs some basic features like video streaming services.

Why are people saying it's sonys lose? Chances are, the people the are willing to buy a switch also bought a PS4 before. Switch isn't marketed as a stand alone console, but as a secondary device to whatever you already have.

Yes they're always expanding.
They drove all the other retail bookstores out of business with their website, and they've easily bought up all the bankrupt storefronts at low cost. Now they're expanding those stores into selling electronics and such and are moving into adding groceries and food products to them soon. They're aiming to best Walmart and every other store imaginable, it's evil monopoly 101.

Maybe they should spend all that money on making sure Amazon Prime actually does as advertised with the 2 day stuff.

Because it sold more than any in history and Nintendo is a very successful videogame company with a long history of incredible success? You don't have to like the company or its games to find it worth noting.

That said the game's pretty fucking incredible so far, and it's been quite awhile since a mainline Zelda title, so I can see why.

That would be Sony winning PS4s gen.

>>369625250
Yeah, and they made a shit fucking ton of money.

>>369633443
Yeah, actually. This has been true with most Nintendo consoles, one good game and a bunch of filler.

>>369628283
Nintendo's doing good by getting Mario out at Christmas and Splatoon 2 in July. They need to pad out time between those releases and past that with some great games that were on WiiU that no one fucking played because they were on WiiU. Sm4sh is an obvious choice.

>>369635662
Considering the Mario Kart 8 re-release, Smash Wii U seems like a forgone conclusion. It's just going to take them more time assuming they're adding some characters.

>>369635783
>Had a WiiU
>Never bought Sm4sh for it
>Switch comes out
>New version of Sm4sh inevitable
>New characters + all DLC probably included
>Not paying twice for the same game because I never bought it in the first place

This is some high quality shit right here.

>>369620550
It will never in a million years outsell the WII. It is an impossibility.

>>369637310
But it would ony need to sell 101 units a year to do that anon. I'm pretty sure the Virtual Boy still sells more than that.

>>369637310
What makes you say that?

You'd be wrong.

>>369620550

>posting fake news source

>>369637710
Well not from Nintendo fucking obviously retard.

>>369637874
Then why would that be relevant?

>>369624873
Nintendo is omitting the fact that the Wii U outsold the Wii during its launch

>>369620550
>(you) york times

>>369637923
Because if Nintendo was still selling the Virtual Boy and continued selling it for 1 million years it would in all likelyhood outsell the Wii.

>>369638051
But they aren't still selling the Virtual Boy, just like Nintendo won't be selling the Switch for a million years.

>>369620550
>New York Times
The failing New York Times

also it's dead in the water

All they have are multiplats and first party games.

The fact that Nintendo is making over 100 dollars on each console sale shows the shoddy craftsmanship which is reflected in the fact that 35% of the Switch units are defective

These "Sales" figures are accounted for initial shipment to the distributors not confirmed sales

The Switch is going to have a 2 year life span.

>>369638115
Do you just not understand hypotheticals? I'm pretty sure that is a symptom of autism.

>>369623427
>Sonybros keep quoting this as if it diminishes it's significance

It's like people completely forgot how much the Wii sold. Granted, lifetime sales are a completely different ballgame and may or may not end well for Ninty, but in the context of opening sales, that's quite and accomplishment. The only reason I don't have a Switch right now myself is because I missed the preorder window, and now I can't find it anywhere. Even mom and pop shops in my area sold out of it. And now I have t9 wait for the stores to restock them. Juat an anecdote, but something I think may be common for those that missed the preorder.

>people crying fake news
I only thought Trump's twitter bots did this holy shit this is surreal

>>369637642
Wii was cheap and had Wii Sports which was easy Normie B8.

>>369638986

It's not 'fake,' it's just that that numbers overall mean jack-shit for the long-term success of the system. I mean shit the Wii and Wii U were within 30,000 units of each other in the first three weeks of sales in Japan, and we know how that shit turned out

>>369620550
Fastest selling Nintendo console. The PS4 is still the fastest selling console of all time

>>369620550
Why would "fastest selling" be a meaningful metric from a company that shorts supply at launch?

>>369623153
That's better than the Wii.
Which had a phenomenal launch.

>>369639758

That's cool. Unfortunately the Switch has none of the factors that caused the Wii to become a cultural phenomenon, so I highly doubt it's gonna hold this steam get anywhere near it overall

>>369639456
That hardly makes it a bad launch.

>>369640120

people here are desperately trying to spin this as the end of Nintendo. Like, were they here in late 2012 when the WiiU was a thing? (probably not) Nintendo isn't going anywhere

switch has portable skyrim and fifa with no need for extra controllers for local multiplayer

Almost all Nintendo consoles have good initial sales. Sustaining it is a different matter. I couldn't care less if this flops or is a success but that is basically a PR piece when any console will have "awesome" initial sales compared to the Wii U.

Wait until later this year and then gloat or cry all you want.

Any word on the physical Wii U sales of BotW? I stood in line at launch to get my copy since I had time to kill before work, and the store only had 5 Wii U copies. They had 1 left when I bought mine, and haven't gotten in any more save when they pulled a few more out from stock to encourage return shoppers. Neither has any other store in my area.

It's getting portable Minecraft and it isn't a Sony handheld.

>>369642535
If you didn't buy a wii u it's still a decent purchase, you'll get mariokart, splatoon 2, xenoblade, fe warriors and other wii u ports down the line. Many japanese devs seem to have interest in the console too so you can expect more and more games on it

But I built one too

Do you guys just the Wii never existed?

>>369643246
I'm not defending those things, however I am going to defend Nintendo for releasing a console that I actually like the look of and wanted to see exist prior to its announcement.

>>369643043

Way to oversimplify retard. Also I'm not fucking paying $300 for one. You just assumed that.

I, like many others, am waiting for the price to drop and more games to come out.

>>369620550
>with big games coming
Like fucking what? Splatoon 2 isn't going to be until summer and after that Mario isn't until holidays. There's fuckall coming out for the Switch, Nintendo is doing the same shit that they did with the Wii U. If you don't want to play Splatoon or you don't want to pay for Nintendo's online service, you've got NOTHING to look forward to until the end of the year.

No one gives a fuck about Arms or Mario Kart ports, don't even bring that shit up.

>>369643282

>>369643710
"That means it's good"

Big cats don't care if it's good or not. Selling well is literally the only thing they're worried about that. Sales is their endgame, and everything else is secondary. Quality is a nice way to get there, but not the only way or even the most effective

>>369643801
I like consoles with games that interest me. Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, SMT, Fire Emblem. These are all things I want to play

>>369644095
No but Nintenbros will use that to defend this shit console
>It sold well
>Means it is good

And the big cats will continue to ignore everything wrong with the console

>>369643962
it really isn't, touch screen tablet with a better processor chip and its simplified because thats all it is

when will they come out with a switch bundle?

what are the chances of them coming out with a splatoon/switch bundle? Surely these good sales will prompt them in to doing this right?

This could be said for literally any new console ever made. Or GPU for that matter.

>>369644825
your right it could and should and i will say it does

>>369644647
You're right those games could have come out on the Wii U, and i wouldn't have bought them because the Wii u isn't a handheld. The fact this is a handheld is the primary reason I am getting it for these games.

I didn't like the Wii U, they never even released the one game i would have bought a Wii U for. I didn't like the Wii U's feel, its design or its purpose and I like the Switch. What now?

>>369644959

its controller technically was a handheld just couldn't leave the house with it also preference on looks over quality is why they'l find new ways to fuck you over no matter what also when it came out no one complained on how it looked infact everyone praised its design saying its innovative just like this console

>>369645143
i would prefer they didnt abuse the trust of consumers to make a quick buck so yes i would rather have the industry die it wouldn't be the first time, infact because of the first gaming market crashed it forced the businesses to get the're shit together and to be honest is whats needed now as well.

>>369645663
>its controller technically was a handheld just couldn't leave the house with it also preference on looks over quality
It wasn't technically a handheld, it was a controller with a screen. It was also bulkier than the Switch and as you say, you couldn't leave the fucking house with it making it not a handheld.
