Using data supplied to it by both Famitsu and GfK, SuperData says that 500,000 consoles were sold in the US, 360,000 were sold in Japan while Europe 'isn't far behind'. The data tracker observes that 85,000 units were sold in the UK while France managed 110,000.
>SuperData says 89% of Switch owners have bought the new Zelda game - which amounts to 1.34m in sales (and does not include sales of the Wii U version).

If those technical issues were so big I wanna know how many switch were returned and refunded
Aaron Mitchell

Literally the PS4 all over again.
Andrew Moore
Friendly reminder that the wii u sold 2 million units during the first week.
That's actually pretty impressive. Nintendo was expecting 2 mil for the whole month of March so it looks like they'll surpass expectations.
Asher Brooks
It's out of stock in most places. Nintendo sent out a low amount fearing that it would be a repeat of the Wii U.
Jason Lopez

Link says the page doesn't exist, try again.

Having one good exclusive at launch is not a very high bar to set, user. That's like saying "at least it doesn't catch on fire"!
Dylan Wilson
God, you're still mad
Adam Richardson
Because Nintendo wants to delete every trace of the Wii U.
Carson Miller
It had two and neither were very good.
Isaac Morgan
lol
you would lick her spit from the ground in real life if she told you to, homo
Anthony Reyes
You make radical claims without any proof. The Wii U did not sell 3 mil week one, no fucking way. When I bought mine at launch the store was literally empty. No one was buying them. I really think this "Wii U had a great launch" thing is just a bad rumor at this point. I've never seen any actual evidence of the claim and it doesn't fit with what I saw at all.
Asher Cook
That was the PDF that held sales data for the Wii U and its software sales.
Wyatt Evans
I mean honestly I don't think either thing is wise, the switch does have some great games secured but right now it's literally only zelda.
Anyone who doesn't understand how this happened probably had a full-blown aneurysm back when the PS4 started selling though
Oliver Butler
I'm googling it right now and the first real result says the Wii U sold 890k in 6 weeks. At this rate I would expect the Switch to reach around 2.2mil at that point, 2 mil at the absolute lowest. So in reality the Wii U sold less than half of the Switch and it did so in a holiday period as opposed to March.
Aiden Stewart
By the way, sorry for replying twice, but I want to point out where our discrepancy is probably coming from. What you were looking at is probably shipped numbers. The difference between shipped and sold is that the shipped number is what was sent to retailers. The sold number on the other hand is what consumers actually bought. So Nintendo shipped out a few million Wii U's but only around 900k actually sold from the first batch in 6 weeks. Video game companies are notorious for putting shipped numbers in their financial data to look stronger than they are. I know Sony has done that a lot.
Lucas Lee
Sale threads on Sup Forums are only subhuman scum being mad a other people for wasting money on things they like, anyone can say If sales are good for someone who doesn't give a fuck about numbers in vidya.
Carter Myers

Colton Ortiz
At least the handheld only Switch will sell a lot
>will share library with the console >will most likely be released late next year >will probably have better battery life and no detachable Joycons >lower price point >Switch should have a hefty library of games by then
They should have just made Switch a handheld in the first place instead making it a weak ass console with gimmicks.
Carson Lewis
wii u sold 890k worldwide in 6 weeks dumbfuck
Oliver Parker
Seems good considering it released outside holiday sesson however i find hard to belice tge us only got 500k consideribg id mostlybsold out. Then again these are protections

The sales data you're pointing to were from the quarter, which including Xmas, not a week.
Chase White
You want to try typing out that post again?

Not even once.

All the data I'm finding points to 400k America, 300k Japan and no numbers for Europe

WiiU sold same amount of units, if memory serves me right

hmmm, really makes you think.

I played 700 hours of BB, if a game like BB comes out every 3 years, I'll be happy.
Logan Young
I wanna call them retarded but if a good Paper Mario game came out I would have done that too.
Eli Phillips
Shit. It'll start going down now.
Jordan Smith
It didn't have anything but indies for a whole year
Juan Scott
PC the real platform for BotW. All it needs is to be fully emulated now and many more people start playing it.
Jaxson Howard
I wonder how many switches have been broken, defective, returned cause no value?
Paying $500 for 1 game is one thing, but paying $500 for a game that ruins your favorite action adventure franchise and effectively repurposes it as a sandbox game with shit gameplay variety is another thing entirely.
Nintendo's Bait & Switch was just too stupid even for Nintendo to have benefited.
Wii U sold 475K in US's first week. 600K counting all of Americas.
In effect a Wii U repeat in terms of sales.
Nathaniel Diaz
This is going to be the fastest console death ever. I'm pretty annoyed they're locking a new Mario game away on this turd when there's no reason it couldn't have run on Wii U.
Wyatt White
>1 game I already bought 4 took me 3 years to buy 4 PS4 games because nothing good came out.
List some games then. You can even copy my formatting if you want. Yeah. It was quite shit in retrospec. Don't know why all the NPC cutscenes were static as they were. Like they never moved from one place. Hell I replayed the original after and the animation in that was thousands fold better than the remake. Only good thing about the remake was the visuals. They even ruined the music.
Luis Johnson
What games have you bought for your switch thus far user
Evan Bennett
Welcome to Nintendo. You like their games? Then you have to accept that they want to force you to buy the maximum amount of their hardware possible.
Owen Howard
Zelda Snipperclips Blaster Master Shovel Knight even though I already got it on PC.
Joshua Barnes
Played much of anything but Zelda yet?
Xavier Rogers
Yeah. I play Snipperclips nightly with my gf in bed. I cleared area 4 of Blaster Master and only played the start of the new shovel knight story.

Oliver Young
? It had two exclusives on launch. All I said and it's 100% true, there is nothing here you can dispute.
Xavier Hughes
>superdata
It's nothing .
Levi Flores
Got plenty of friends with switches now who say there's no scratching issues whatsoever, and that the people who are scratching them must be pulling them out on an angle.
Granted, I don't think that my buddies have been using docked mode very much, but I'll take their word on it.
Josiah Brown
Thats pretty pathetic number, PS4 did 1 million in 1 day alone in US
Also the fact that 89% of them bought it for 1 game - Zelda, the future drought and non existence online will kill the little momentum it has
