UK sales. Pokemon and Spyro perform well, Fallout and Hitman poorly

Third parties are actually doing well on Switch.  The Majority of them have been happy with their sales, from Capcom, Bethesda, Take 2, Square Enix. After the failure of the Wiiu... they wanted to test the waters with Switch and so far the titles have sold well.   

 

Yes Mario Party, Tennis and the B titles did well... but they're not going to be evergreens like Kart, Oddessy and BOTW. 

An evergreen first party is a Nintendo only phenomenon.  There's no doubt there's a huge disparity in third parties sales shares if you to compare Nintendo's to Sony or Microsoft's.

an evergreen title is not a Nintendo only phenomenon.

 

The best selling title this gen is an evergreen title by Take Two - GTAV... a ladt gen title to boot 

 

MS has an evergreen title that they publish called Mind Craft. 

 

Halo used to be evergreen until MS ran the franchise into the ground. 

 

There are other examples too.... 

 

for sure there is a disparity in first party and 3rd party shares. 

 

MS has shit first party... so majority of software sold on Xbox is 3rd party. 

 

Sony's first and 3rd party sales sales are more balanced. 

 

Nintendo sales are more first party than 3rd party.

 

But it's still not a zero sum scenario you portrayed.

Oh yeah, those third parties enjoying success on other platforms like GTAV...  

 

I never claimed a zero sum scenario, what are you talking about?

I told Gooberson and McDickhead to cool their jets on this game but they kept playing it up like it was some mainline game and would perform like one talking about 18 million sales and shit, clearly not... as I said..

 

Tracking for the $199 Spider-Man PS4 bundle as well as Switch hardware in general is off to a tremendous start. The Pokemon Let's Go games are having a noteworthy impact on driving new Switch sales.

If you want those $199 Spidey PS4s though I'd get on it now. Shortages imminent

Those Spider-man PS4 bundles are flying.

"Noteworthy impact" isn't exactly what I was predicting. I was thinking Switch hardware would be flying off the shelves. Time will tell.

He prefaced it by saying Switch and the Spiderman PS4 are off to a tremendous start.

lol Sony might be out of their Black Friday product before Black Friday 

 

and guys, Let's Go is selling. Look at the overall boost in Switch first party. Also these details from the UK sales:

 

Stock issues persisted in the UK with fewer than expected units coming in from Nintendo's European warehouse, which meant some pre-orders were not fulfilled (and many stores were sold out).

 

Just Dance 2019 enjoyed a 465% sales leap - rising from No.39 to No.14 - primarily due to the Switch version. The game was included in a Switch hardware bundle that also included Pokémon.

 

It's moving hardware without a doubt. 

[lynux3 2,164]

No one said it wasn't selling or pushing hardware. Based on the tweets it doesn't line up with my personal prediction which is what I initially said.

"I told Gooberson and McDickhead to cool their jets on this game but they kept playing it up like it was some mainline game and would perform like one" 

 

Pokémon mainline games typically sell 3 to 4 million during the first few days of launch and that's what Let's go sold.

Probably 1.8 million on one game, and 1.2 million on the other.

 

These titles exist outside of each other, and so do their sales.

So basically in line with what mainline games sell. 

 

 

X and Y did about 4 million
