HATERS BTFO

1.5 million copies isn't a lot

You're triggering a lot of tumblrites sourcing breitbart.

For a March release it is. Especially when Wii U sales are taken into account.

That's almost everyone who owns a Wii U

Why the fuck is this somehow considered noteworthy when its literally the only game for that shitty console.

>Nintendo game sells well, more shocking news at 11

3DS sold 3.6 million in its first month (which was February, btw). It also went on to become Nintendo's worst selling handheld
Wii U sold 3 million in its first month
Wii sold 3.1 million in its first month
Switch will do less because they aren't shipping that many.

"For March it's good" is a myth. Nintendo's consoles always sell millions no matter when they launch.

The numbers are supply constrained. 1.5 million isn't good. But since that's basically how many have been available, it doesn't tell us anything.

>Shipped
Doesn't mean shit.

Read it you dumb cunt.
It specifically states that they are just taking into account consumer bought consoles, not shipped

>It also went on to become Nintendo's worst selling handheld
Still the best selling console this gen, sooooooooooooo...

>1.5 million sell through to consumers
>report only accounts for first week
>Nintendo's own projection is 2 million by the end of march, which it got 3/4 in one week

Literally all in the above image.

nintendo has been limiting supply of their consoles since the gamecube, the switch isnt any different

more consoles sold than games. why the fuck are people buying a console you can only play games on and then don't buy games for it?

Numbers literally mean nothing about the longevity of the consoles life. In Japan, 2nd week sales:
63k Switch
52k PS4
120k Wii U
71k Vita

Notice how the last two, despite selling more, are absolute failures. Of course no one gives a shit, since all people give a fuck about here in shitposting

It is since this isnt a holiday release.

that's like 75% attach rate for the system.
Also unlike most AAA games that sells 95% in the first 3 weeks, it's gonna grow for a while.

This. Wii U had long lengths of no gaemz, besides the terrible marketing, there wasn't much reason to buy it even if you were a Nintendo fan.
Fan of Metroid?
>no games
Fan of Zelda?
>final game that came out and it came out for the Switch day one
Fan of 3D Mario?
>will probably come out on NX anyway, might as well wait
Basically you could buy a 3DS and you'll have all the games you want for free.

>1.5 million people are now sitting with an underpowered dust collector for the next 9 months

Word of mouth will kill the momentum.
Weapon degradation that can't be repaired was a bad idea.

lol

>all we want is game journalism WITHOUT the politics!
>breitbart

this

But Horizon: Zero Dawn doesn't have weapon degradation?

>sells 1.5 million with a dual console launch.
>Horizon sells twice that on a single platform
Wewlad

Nigga you serious. The ps4 platform is 5 times as large as wii u and switch combined.
Switch sold like 1.5 million for 2 million consoles. Thats 75%. Horizon sold 2 million on a 55 million console install base. Fucking pathetic.

the 3ds is easier to manufacture so nintendo was able to make more of them also is a handheld and japan eat those more easily.
wiiu and wii were aimed at holiday releases os they were prepared for more shipments.
1.5M are good and it sold at a faster rate than any other nintendo device.

>word of mouth
there is more good than bad in word of mouth.

nigga that's kawaii

>the only game for a console on release sells good

What a shock.

The fact that hey can't be repaired is what makes it good.

That's 1.5 million on Swtch alone, there are no WiiU numbers out

That's cute but a brand new ip did nearly 2x that with only a two day lead

On a consoles with over 5x the installbase.

i just saw 5 switches in one CEX, seems like a pretty high return rate unfortunately.

Still, good first week, just like the wii U

The wii u was out much longer then the ps4, who's fault this that?
Sony just keeps winning

>Horizon sold 2.6M

How did a household and family friendly game like Zelda lose to a brand new IP from a dev that only made SHOOTAN before?

Horizon: Zero Dawn, a new IP, outsold fucking Zelda. Time to collect.

>Wii U sold 3 million in its first month
Yeah the month that included black Friday.

And it was 2 mil.

Is this some kind of joke post

I dont give a fuck about Breitbart or Trump but his feels like a subtle Sup Forums shitpost

more people have ps4s than a brand new console

Breitbart talks shout video games?

More base units?

>single console with supposedly an active userbase over 50 million vs
>dead console and a new console

wow really gets the neurons cracking

Bumping for shitposting

>More ps4 then wii u's and switches
The wii u came out long before the ps4, that's nintendo's fault.

Horizon did 2.7 million nearly double that of zelda with only two days ahead. bloodborne did 2 million in a year on ps4, so this is beyond amazing.

In fact it's the fastest selling new ip of all time, and did it all right next to a 30 year old behemoth series.

On 55m install base.Kek,niggers are pathetic.

still 7/10

The wii u is older then the ps4, this is all nintendos fault, there shitty business practices got them btfo by song, again.

do you not remember the 360s line up?
or the wiis?
or the ps3?
open day games DO NOT always sell.

Sonybro has a nice imagination.
