And yet by June the switch had sold 5 million units in america
>>389273795
This comment doesn't seem right. This would mean that at the time where there was just over 5 million units sold in the world. NA accounted for almost all of them.
BUT IT'S DOING BADLY IN THE U.K.
THE U.K. MARKET IS HUGE FOR GAMES GUYS.
HERE LET ME SHOW YOU A LINK ABOUT THE BEST GAME OF 2013.

>muh Japan sales
Thats what Wii U owners keps clinging to when the PS4 wad destroying it
>>389272510
This is a HUE post. 100% sure.
>>389274115
the switch has already sold half of what the Wii U did in 5 months
>>389273501
Was week 20 Splatoon 2?
In regards to the 3DS however. What happened at week 25?
>>389272510
99% of us don't live in Japan so why should a shit be given? As an American I only care about American sales because that will determine the possibility of future sales in America. No one cares that a Japanese company sells things in Japan. That is moronic.
>>389274321
Yes.
Price drop.
>>389272510
If you've watched streams of Japanese TV, this thing is advertised non-stop.
>>389273385
>did anyone ever even think the switch would fail?
like, all the industry and 3rd parties without a Switch game to release before mid 2018..
EA dont count Fifa 18 is an scapegoat
>>389273594
Switch also outsold PS4 for 3/5 months
>>389272510
No offensive, as nice as this seems I really don't give a fuck about one single region. Isolating Japan just like the UK doesn't do anything for me. I'll wait until at least a worldwide estimate is available.
>>389272510
and dead everywhere else
hope you learned moon

It's going to be a 3DS with shittier sales.
>>389275008
SEETHING
>>389275265
Okay...?
>>389273501
The colours are triggering me
and still no games to play
>>389272510
How long did it take the Xbox?
>>389272510
>japan
That's the keyword here.
When you have to isolate something to make it seem impressive you know it's not.
I mean right now the PS4 is outselling the Switch on a monthly basis.
Are you people so desperate to try and justify your Switch purchases?
and they still got no units available for the masses and have to do a lottery for the few systems they get in stock
>>389275752

So it's nothing?
>>389275869
man this generation has the most beautiful controllers
well except for the switch but maybe with the slim iteration it'll be better.
>>389272510
Japan is batshit about portables. More news at 11:00.

is there any reason to have made the select button into a giant as pseudo touch pad that no one uses?

Just 26 weeks. You know what that means: it sure as hell is gonna flop any second now.
You can count on that, you Ninten-todd-l-e-r-s.
>>389272510
The sex number!
>>389276071
Switch feels better than an Xbone controller to me. Way lighter and low profile.
PS4 sold over 1 million units in it's first day in America, don't see why you morons are gloating
>>389276323>>389275008
How is this NeoGAF, retard?
>>389275892
How would you feel if you were a brainwashed drone who is absolutely obligated to buy garbage year after year? Just think about it, these are the people who gave $500+ for a gaming console that LITERALLY has no games. Like, this isn't a Playstation tier meme created out of sheer butthurt, it's only game. Zelda, is not only a rehash of a rehash of a rehash, it's also on another platform AND can be emulated on a PC. I would be furious if I bought something like that. Of course, I wouldn't buy it, because I'm not mentally challenged.
>>389276450
It just looks very cheap. Love everything about it otherwise.
Now let's see if the Switch can at least sell half the amount of xbones
>>389276301
Games can divide it in half for two extra buttons. Makes typing a lot more easy.
>selling out like crazy
>STILL doesn't have a single good game on it
I can't consider casual games, esports, cinematic experiences, and ports to be worth a purchase. Otherwise I'd be singing the praises of the Ps4 and Xbox right now. You know? And really, these threads constantly remind me of Ps4 sales threads, and those were filled with obnoxious neogaf marketers.
>>389273385
>did anyone ever even think the switch would fail?
The first 5 months were almost nothing but Nintendoomed threads here with everyone swearing up and down that this was the second coming of the wiiU. People even spammed those videos of the few defective consoles and tried to make it look like it was a RRoD-level epidemic, when the opposite was obviously true.
And yes, the fact that 99% of all Switch hate was just here on /v/ should have been telling of how well this thing was going to do.
>>389276804
>selling out like crazy
Not that impressive when the shipment is shit. The worldwide sales are still behind the PS4.

Hi and welcome to earth, you must be new here.
>>389277857
There was Knack, InFamous, Killzone at launch.
>>389277857
nigga...mother fucking windjammers with online was just released this week. kys unironically
>>389278051
neogaf is here
I still don't understand why.
Personally< I don't see enough reason to go after switch.
It has like 2-3 nice games and that's it.
No 3d party support.
Maybe it is japanese people who have different view on things and think that it is justified to purchase console for 1 game, but I am not sure.
If you look at the old days of PS2 then you would see it had great lineup of Good quality games. And with Switch I just don't see it.
>>389276804
Knack 2 this week. You'll be sorry when it comes out...
>>389278164
>>389276323
What is it about that shitty site that propels your autism sky high?
>>389278494
you must be new here
I love my PS4, no doubt, but the Switch is just an amazing console. It's really all I want to play at this point. I can't put the damn thing down.
Congrats to Nintendo for their success. Can't wait for the new Mario game.
>>389278223
>I still don't understand why.
Nintendo consoles and games are the literal definition of casual normalfag consoles in Japan, the 3DS was pretty much the equivalent of having a phone to play vidya with.
It's the equivalent of people playing candy crush or whatever phone shovelware in the west, hell one of the top sellers on the 3DS was Puzzle and Dragons, a literal mobile shovelware kusoge.
>>389278549
Oh? So please explain then why you think every post can be shut down by people spamming NeoGAF?
>J-J-J-JAPAN IS IRRELEVANT
>Sony is a Japanese company
>The majority, if not all, of PS4's worthwhile games are from Japan
really ukis my kabukis
>>389278827
I can tell by your snarky upvote whoring attitude
>>389279043
Okay, now I see why you cry NeoFAG.
>>389278891
>Thinking Nintendo will have meaningful JP third party support after three generations straight of blunders
People buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games and the rare IPs that are still on Nintendo consoles like Dragon Quest, all the significant third party support, mainstream or niche, is on Sony's hands, and now that Japan is slowly dipping in the PC market it's even worse for Nintendo to get anything out of third parties unless they grovel at their feet like they did with the gamecube.
>>389278891
Be honest, do you actually expect Switch to get anything more than ports of PS4/Vita games in Japan without Nintendo publishing them?
>>389279332
>>389279454
>Dragon Quest XI sales
>>389278891
You're pretending to be retarded, aren't you?
>>389278891
Sorry to break your nuts guy, but Japan is LITERALLY, irrelevant when it comes to console sales. The 360 sold over 80% of its total life time sales in the US of A (God Bless) alone, and it completely bombed in Japan along with Europe. This is a well known fact, that no one outside the US of A, wanted the 360.
Now that the 360, Wii and PS3 are last gen, we can all safely say that PS3 > 360 > Wii when it came to their life time sales, since the Wii was dropped early, and was already selling badly after 4 years. Basically, the 360 out sold the Wii despite the Wii having a huge start out the gate. The truth of the matter is, If you don't win AMERICA (praise Jesus), then you lose, End Of Story.
