Still pretty good sales for the Switch, now it just needs more games to keep building momentum. A strong E3 showing will also help.

MVGeneral3288d ago

No. After the nintendards are done buying it. Roughly 10-15million people. It will stagnate and die off like the Wiiu. #facts

curtis923288d ago

Yeah you seem reliable.

MVGeneral3287d ago (Edited 3287d ago )

It's funny how the ps4 outsold the switch at the same amount of time. But Sony was still able to meet demand. Nintendo sucks at being a company too. What a joke. If it's artificial demand, than that's even a bigger joke.

Concertoine3288d ago

Pretty impressive, especially since Switch didnt have a holiday launch

DialgaMarine3288d ago

It did launch with Zelda though. That more than made up for it.

Concertoine3288d ago

Point being: if it launched with zelda in the holidays, it would've sold better.

DialgaMarine3288d ago

If this is accurate, then the point about launch hype + Zelda hype is accurate; it had a strong launch, but it's already rapidly falling behind the DS, Wii, and PS4. Doesn't look like it's high sales are going to last much longer. God help this thing once the holiday third party titles roll around.

UltraNova3288d ago (Edited 3288d ago )

Wait for Mario during the holidays...

curtis923288d ago

It'll be funny to see their excuses when Switch shows up PS4/XBO during the holidays. Of course when that happens the narrative will change to 'of course it did, Mario always sells'.

DialgaMarine3288d ago

Mario isn't going to push nearly as much hardware as CoD WW2, Destiny 2, BF2, ACO, Middle Eath SoW, etc.. FIFA is already confirmed to come with less graphics and no FB3 support. Switch's crap third party support is the Wii U all over again, and that's gonna hurt it bad.

scarface01213288d ago

The fact that they've been difficult to get hold of doesn't help as the demand is there. Once production in creases so will sales.

ninsigma3288d ago

By end of year, maybe even sooner, we'll have accurate view of how the Switch is going to do. It's too early to tell right now because it's only a couple months old. Sales and production still haven't normalised.

curtis923288d ago

Stock limitations. Nintendo is competing with Apple right now for parts. Please get off N4G every now and then and learn something before spewing ignorance around like it's fact.

yeahright23288d ago

Kinda, the problem with looking at the this early are the variable have a much bigger impact. Both ran out of stock early on, so it's more a battle of who manufactured more units as opposed to which has greater demand. PS4 was going head to head with X1 when the hype for both was at their highest. switch is, if anything, competing with the mid gen upgrades of those, a far easier battle to win.
Personally I'm more interested to see how it's doing 6months to a year after launch. I figure that'd be more accurate an indicator of what true demand is.

DialgaMarine3287d ago

Nintendo fans are counting their chickens before the eggs have even been laid.
