yes... now that you mention it, it is pretty impressive.
good catch dude

A holiday launch means NOTHING, because a console manufacturer is limited by the amount of consoles they can produce at a given time.

You can't cheer for a holiday launch being better at sales, when there's a cap to the amount of product avilable like there is with every console, and why the PS4 / XBO didn't launch worldwide until months later (almost a year later for XBO which only gave them a modest boost).

It doesn't matter if there are 100 million people looking for presents if you only have 2 million consoles that can be produced during that time frame. Stop using the holiday as an excuse, the holiday season doesn't matter at launch, because consoles generally sell out regardless. What matter is the holiday season post launch, which the Switch will benefit from since it'll be 8 - 9 months after launch for them, while XBO and PS4 have to wait 12 months to see the true benefits of the holiday season.

That being said good job Nintendo with the Switch, it's a nice handheld that deserves the success. They've done a good job with 1st party software already, the performance and build of the device is good (the revision will probably be nearly perfect with a P1 chip and better battery life), and while it'll never get AAA 3rd party support, it is getting some good indies, JP support, and the occasional last-gen port.

What? How did you get to that conclusion?

i think it is 3.5m in the first 3 months. while switch is at 4.1m in 3 months.

actually both are pretty impressive. especially the switch. as pointed by gemmol, switch's launch window is not within the Xmas holiday Window

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
