Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sells 459,000 copies in the US on launch

>>375619257
no way this sold more than mk wii

paid online will kill the hype soon enough.

>>375619423
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With more than 459,000 combined packaged and digital sales in the U.S. on launch day alone (April 28), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch system is the fastest-selling game in the long-running Mario Kart series. The previous record holder for the highest first-day sales in the franchise was Mario Kart Wii, with U.S. sales of approximately 433,900 when it launched in 2008.

>>375619467
PSN/Live is what? $20 a month? Well, the Switch online infrastructure will be $20 a year, fuckface

Are we ready to admit that the Switch is going to win this generation? Everything about it from its marketing, to its design, and to its games are fucking perfect.

>>375619654
$5 a month retard

That's pretty nice, but I'm not surprised when the console only has like 2 games. People are hungry for more.

not with shitty hardware problems and no 3rd party support it wont
literally the wii u 2

I dont understand how the fuck is doing so well compared to the wii u. It essentially another wii u right down to the concept of the system

They launch it with a wii u port. It does well. No other games to play. System sells 3 million units in a month

Nearly two months later you launch another wii u port. It does well.

Fucking how? Is the marketing really THAT good?

I think what you are most likely missing is that not many people owned the Wii U.

I'd be interested to know the statistics of Wii U owners who own a Switch now.

See, the problem is that you are projecting the Wii U's image onto the Switch. People are fairly excited for it right now. Whether that excitement continues or not, only time will tell, but it's certainly far from a 'laughing stock' as of right now.

The fact of the matter is that the Wii U and the Switch are drastically different in functionality, whether you like it or not.

>I don't get how something being portable makes the experience drastically different.
Because one console is tethered to a home unit and one is not. That is a significant difference. It's that simple.

>>375621156
So being able to hold a screen closer to your face makes it a drastically improved experience? Don't get me wrong, play what you want, we all play video games. But it's all the same shit whether you can carry it about or not.

Of course mario kart was going to sell like hot cakes.
Switch owners literally had nothing else to buy other than zelda so Mario Kart was the next best thing. You gotta be really fucking delusional to not think this.

>>375621327
>But it's all the same shit whether you can carry it about or not.
So what's the difference between a 3DS and a PS4, then? They both have screens, they both play games. Whether or not you can leave your house with it evidently doesn't make a difference in your bizarro logic world.

>>375620382
any thread about any sony console will generate more asspain in 2 hours than switch will in its entire lifespan

>>375621292
So a game being portable gives a different experience? Because you're looking at a different screen and sat somewhere else? Surely it's about the games, that's why you buy a console, right? Or do you buy consoles for their functions instead?

>>375621327

Not particularly

Nintendo could make serious bank just by porting all of the Wii U's games (with very slight additions to poorly justify making customers pay full priced), apparently nobody owned a Wii U because that's the only way I perceive MK8D selling so well.

How does that change the experience of video games though? The main aspect of playing is essentially looking at a screen. So it being portable or not doesn't change the experience of the software you've bought the console for.

This is proof that the Wii U was an excellent console but nobody knew it even existed. They took the same console, gave it a name that distinguished it from its predecessor and actually marketed it and, guess what? It's selling like hotcakes. Like, holy shit, a fucking port is selling better than the original.

>>375622385
>How does that change the experience of video games though?
Not him, but the first thing you said was that the Switch had the same gimmick as the Wii U, and you got BTFO. Now you are blatantly moving goal posts. Just move on.

>>375622496
Probably Fatal Frame 6.

Not that its a bad thing, but how? Aren't Switchs still impossible to find?

Are people just buying the game without the system to play it on?

Wonder how many more times /v/ will get BTFO about their Switch predictions.

You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Of course it's going to sell well, Switch owners are desperate for first party games. They'll lap up anything published by Nintendo.

>>375619798
>I dont understand how the fuck is doing so well compared to the wii u.

Marketing. Nintendo is going ham with marketing for the Switch. One of Nintendo's biggest mistakes on the Wii U was the marketing for it. That includes the retarded name. They had no proper way of communicating that it was an entirely new console and not a wii peripheral. Remember the first commercial?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVmW_qM1mmg

Now look at the Switch's marketing as of now.

>Superbowl ad
>Giant printed ads on subways and billboards
>Launched with GOTY contender
>Youtube ads
>Users can market it themselves thanks to screenshot sharing on social media and just by the fact that it is portable and any unit can be played with two players at any given time thanks to the joycon

Obviously the appetite for good games on the Switch is there, Nintendo needs to make sure that they keep up this momentum they have.

Also, daily reminder that the success of the Switch vs. the failure of the Wii U, at least as it stands right now, is down almost entirely to superior marketing.

1, you're being quite over-dramatic, and 2, companies don't typically make decisions based on hurt feelings. They do what's best for the bottom line. If there is money to be made, they will strive for it.

>>375623789
The Wii was the best selling dust collector in history. Normies played Wii Sport for a week or two and never touched it again.

>>375623789
Only to release more low budget shovelware while PS3 and 360 got the real games.

>>375622796
I can see those who don't have a Switch yet buying the game just to have on hand for when they actually do find a Switch. Same for BotW. I know I would've done the same if I wasn't able to get a Switch at release day.

If you know you're getting the system as soon as you can and you know you want the games, there's no reason to wait.

>>375623936
I wish. The neighbors above me can't stop playing their shitty Wii even in 2017.

Third party never sells well on Nintendo compared to PlayStation. Nintendos first party games always overshadow third party potential. Businesses don't want that type of competition against their product, especially in the age where video game budgets are in the millions.

STOP THE PRESSES

>Third parties won't bite because they know their shitty games can't compete with Nintendo's offerings

If you're Nintenro, wat do?

>>375624029
The differences is that the Wii was different. People that would never have touched a video game in their lives saw the Wii and though "hey, that's like playing tennis in the living room". Those same people would have never buy a ps3 to play fucking CoD. The Wii had the appeal of literally everyone, thus a better dust collector.

Numbers are nothing, continue being so delusional

>>375621992
Honestly this isn't a bad idea. I got a Wii U on day one and was pleased with the system; it served its purpose of "the thing you play the Nintendo game on", but I can see how that wouldn't be enough for some people. If this is an easy way for Nintendo to pad the Switch library while also churning out Switch games that's great. Anyone who bought a Wii U isn't going to rebuy them, but then again, anyone who bought a Wii U doesn't really care about droughts in games because the Wii U wasn't their main system.

>>375619257

Why are Nintendos the worst and most autistic fanbase.

Offer incentives to produce games for their system.

Mario kart has always been popular, it selling well isn't news worthy. Reminder that Racist Mario Kart flash video has over 150 million views.

They do what they did with Bayonetta 2 and Monster Hunter. They offer incentives for them to release on their platform. Nintendo offered platinum development funds and publishing for Bayonetta. Nintendo offered capcom marketing/publishing in Europe, online servers for MH4, and even designed their new handheld with capcoms feedback.

Sales means nothing if the game is fucking trash

>>375624524
What kinds of incentives? They arent gonna do exclusivity contracts for any of the big AAA multiplats that everyone shits themselves over not being on Nintendo platforms. Nintendo also isn't going to cut themselves out of potential revenue of their own by not releasing their own titiles during the holiday season or whatever.

So how long until they port Hyrule Warriors with all the DLC?

That might be how it looks from within your personal bubble, but as someone who's not loyal to Sony or Nintendo I see posts bitching about Sony more often than I see regular discussion of it.

I just wanted to have these new features ported to the Wii U as DLC or some kind of shit

So to this day Switch still has no original games. It's two best first party sellers are still Wii U ports.

>>375624746
Meanwhile Sony does fuck all and refuses to assist when a developer or publishes asks for help and yet they're the go to console still.

>>375625480
Wasn't Bloodborne co-developed by one of their studios?

>>375623613
Actually Capcom is the one running from the Switch. Konami, Koei Tecmo, and Namco all have positive things to say about the Switch. And it's not really all that surprise on Capcom's part, they're pretty fidgety when it comes to exclusives.

>>375625480

Sony did just remove the size limit for post-launch game patches, and made it free for devs.

That's pretty nice.

It's probably because Sony knows that the PS4 is the first choice to play video games for most people and they know that developers want to develop games for them. They don't have to look for developers, they come to their doorsteps begging to let them develop for the ps4.

>>375619257

>>375626128
Fastest is just another way of saying most units sold in the first week.

What should make it horrifying for people who hate Nintendo is that unlike their games, games like Mario Kart are true Evergreen titles. Depending on how strong the Switch gets, this game is going to still get decent sales at full price 3 years later.

it still doesn't mean shit. any high profile AAA sequel is going to sell a couple million. first week sales are just however many they produced up front. plus, nowadays game generally launch in ever region simultaneously. Not to mention there's a bigger market with India industrializing and China allowing foreign consoles, don't know if this part applies to Mario Kart though.

>>375625385
Wii U's dead, bro. Be lucky you got Zelda BotW.

>>375625865
It's because their exclusives don't sell for shit. Combined PS4 exclusive attach rate is about 33%. that's one exclusive for every three PS4s. Meanwhile Nintendo takes up half of all software sales on their entire console.

The PS4 made me legitimately upset. The PS3 had just had its best year yet. And then Sony went full fucking Microsoft and completed their transformation into neo-Sony with the PS4.

It was like Sony were giving the giant middle finger to their current and loyal fans. As they were investing everything into trying to court another audience. Like the Xbox audience.
