Capsule Computers has written some impressions about Xenoblade Chronicles, an RPG coming to the Nintendo Wii.
Nintendo has announced its financial results for the first 9 months of the fiscal year, new official sales figures for the Nintendo Switch 2, and more.
17M+ units in 6 months! Others on this site are insisting on only 10M units. XD
And as for Switch 1 total sales, it will only take a few months for it to surpass the 160M of PS2.
Will Sony magically be able to dig up PS2s again to increase the 160M number when the Switch is about to surpass it? hahaha.
They already did this in 2024 because Switch 1 is getting close to 155m. They might do it again because Switch is getting close to 160M.
"And as for Switch 1 total sales, it will only take a few months for it to surpass the 160M of PS2."
Few months lol. Maybe in a few years, and if it happens, that would be a big indication that the Switch 2 is not as successful as some here wanted us to believe; people still buy the OG Switch because there is nothing exciting on the Switch 2 and it's cheaper lol.
Too bad it took over 12 years for PS2 to reach that number (before Jim Ryan made took some more out of his ass) Does that mean people were buying PS2s becasue it was cheaper and nothing good on PS3 and almost PS4? Nice try. 🤣🤣🤣
The Switch 2 is outselling the Switch 1 when compared to their first years. You can swing this anyway you want, but that doesn't change reality and sales figures.
By your own logic, every single console has released to lackluster success because people kept buying the console before it. Sony even combined PS2 and PS3 sales at one point to help negate the lackluster start of the PS3.
@Rage77
people were buying PS2s because it was cheaper and nothing good on PS3. remember that the PS3 was released in 2006, God of War 2 was released in 2007.
it was at 10 million when i googled it a week ago, these are fresh numbers
17 million in 6 months is crazy
I think that number is until October only. And during the holidays, Switch 2 sold 7m+.
June 5 to December 31 is essentially seven months.
From the chart in the actual presentation.
"Cumulative global sell-through as of the 4th week of December 2025 15 million units."
"Sales Status of Hardware and Software (Sell-In) 17.37 million units."
15m Sold = sell-through
17.37m Shipped = sell-in
Itll probably get there. But at currently pace it's like a year and a half. And thats without that number declining as people get switch 2s instead
Maybe they still can. They need to put extra effort into promotions again and release bundled promos like with
2-3 games and 1yr Nintendo online subs.
There's a lot of people who want the switch to fail for some weird reason
They took Christmas sales as a indication that the system was a flip and proceeded to celebrate prematurely
I still believe the Switch 2 is not gonna be as successful as the OG Switch. We'll see ;)
Well... it can't be the new wiiu if it already passed it and is on track to keep selling over the next several years. It took WiiU 4 years to even get close to 14m. SW2 passed it in 6 months.
The PS5 is showing to not reach the PS4, so you should worry about that instead.
That is pretty amazing. I love what Nintendo did with the Switch 2 as they fixed every issue I had with the original and it seems devs agree given the amount of 3rd party support it is receiving.
I agree! That was their previous criticism of the Switch 1, now Nintendo has responded with the Switch 2. They still can't beat the games on console versions but the gap is massive compared to Switch 1 and ps4. For me, the end result that you see with your eyes while playing is what's important, not that you have to dissect the game and zoom in 200% to see the difference.
It's a better Switch with much better graphics, third-party support, and fully backwards compatible. You knew what it would be before purchasing.
Besides, surely you were more disappointed by the PS3's launch or the Vita given how rough theirs were in comparison.
how is it more disappointing than the original Switch? It's an improvement in every way when you directly compare.
All those clickbait YouTubers and Twitter users are going to be working overtime to try and swing this as a bad thing, when it continues to defy expectations and break records.
The Switch 2 has now outsold the Steam Deck nearly 3x over and is outselling the OG Switch by nearly 5,000,000 with half a year of sales to go for its first year.
Apparently he was begrudgingly saying he was wrong. I'll take reddits word for it though. He ain't getting any traffic from me. I dont need him or any one like him stinking up my feed. You let in one grifter and the algotherim decides to flood you with them. 😆
NE: "Today, we're taking on the difficult task of ranking every single game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series from best to least best."
For me, Xenoblade 2 and 3 and Final Fantasy 7 remake and rebirth are the best JRPGs or RPGs in general ever made. Yes, they even surpassed Expedition 33 in my honest opinion. Before, the Tales series was among my favorites, but I was very disappointed with their last game, Tales of Arise. Its world has become linear and not as expansive as their previous games. Fortunately, its battle gameplay is still very good. I hope that in the next Tales game, they will expand the game even more.
Hoping for a new Xenoblade game from Monolith Soft in this year's Nintendo General Direct. And it should be a Switch 2 exclusive.
Yeah, Xenoblade 2 and 3 are amazing. I would have put Xenoblade 2 in first and 3 in second if I was ranking them.
The "worst" Xenoblade game is still better than 95% of games out there. Xenoblade 2 is my favorite rpg ever. All the Xenoblade games have incredible characters, soundtracks, voice acting, stories, world design and combat (save for Xenoblade 1 whose combat, while good, is not incredible).
Nintendo of America is once again facing labor complaints from one or more of its workers. Game File reports that new charges accuse the Switch 2 manufacturer of violating sections of the National Labor Relations Act dealing with worker organizing and related union activities. These come just a few years after the company settled a previous labor charge with a former tester for $26,000.
When is the game coming out?
