Purist 134 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 3 minutes ago, jehurey said: The Nintendo Switch is going to surpass the PS4 in sales in Japan within the next two weeks. It'll get real close next week, but I think it will require the beginning days of May to pass it. I thought it was going to need until the summer to accomplish that. No wonder Nintendo dropped the slightly upgraded Switch model, they don't need it. They just need the smaller one because households are fixing to get 2nd Switches, possibly even 3rd Switcheswhen the mainline Pokemon games come out. Nintendo Switch will outsell PS4 LTD in NA and Japan, the 2 biggest console gaming market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is why Aza's post about it not being too surprising is silly. Who the fuck is expecting the Switch in the middle of having fuck all for games to be pushing almost 400k? Outside of the Switch's launch, this is the highest March sales for a console since 2011. There's not even a price cut or anything fueling this. It's still $300. Insane. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,230 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) As of this morning, the best selling video game on Amazon US is MK11. No surprise, obviously. The second best-selling is Smash Bros. (and the next best-seller is the Switch Pro controller, which also makes it the highest selling hardware item at this time). Smash Bros has quietly been keeping people busy on the Switch. Its crazy, we might still be over a year away from a brand new Mario Kart. Because technically they haven't made one for the Switch. They're not releasing it for this year, because Mario Maker 2 is coming out, and that is going to sell ridiculous amounts. Edited April 22, 2019 by jehurey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smash is still selling like crazy and Pokémon is still doing good as well.. but not as strong as Smash. Smash will be selling great for at least another year if the rest of the DLC is up to the same level as the recent Parsona content. When the mainline Pokémon + the Switch Mini launches this year it will be bananas. Edited April 22, 2019 by Goukosan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,230 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This also relates to the MK11 thread. The best selling video games on Amazon, that are actually video game retail copies: 1. MK11 for PS4 2. Smash bros for Switch 3. Day Gone for PS4 4. MK11 for the Switch 5. MK11 Premium Edition for PS4 6. Yoshi's Crafted World for Switch 7. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Switch 8. Spiderman for PS4 9. RDR2 for PS4 10. NSMBU for Switch 11. MK11 for Xbox This is why people are now starting to make Switch ports and even meeting the same release date as all the other versions.

Luigi's Mansion 3, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon Shield/Sword too still on the calendar this year. Also Fire Emblem and Astral Chain which while niche are solid additions and might bring in some other people. Also, yeah, they haven't even released MK9 yet for it which will probably be the software driver for next year. Edited April 22, 2019 by Ike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
