>SQUARE ENIX® announced that the worldwide shipment and digital sales of the critically acclaimed action-RPG, NieR: Automata™ have exceeded one million.
>Breath of the Wild, meanwhile, sold 1.3 million copies across Switch and Wii U in that same window (925,000 units were sold for Nintendo Switch/460,000 units sold for the Wii U).
>Established AAA meme franchise barely sells more than a budget title no one played the first game for
How will Nintendo ever recover? Reminder that Breath of the Wild needs to sell 2 million copies to break even on its development costs.
You can go back to clutching your Amiibos and crying

>Comparing worldwide Nier numbers to US BotW numbers
Do you have something to hide user?
Oliver Myers
Nier outsold BoTW in Japan
Lincoln Wright
Japan doesn't even like Zelds that much. Look at the fan art ratio.
Jack Rivera
Yeah that's why it outsold it in japan
Not sure what your point is
Kayden Scott
>Breath of the Wild needs to sell 2 million copies to break even on its development costs.
Wow, so its an actual flop.
Nathan Myers
>Media Create Sales: 4/3/17 – 4/9/17 >[NSW] The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Limited Edition Included) (Nintendo, 03/03/17) – 23,016 (354,404) >[Wii U] The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Nintendo, 03/03/17) – 6,487 (95,806) >[PS4] NieR: Automata (Square Enix, 02/23/17) – 6,593 (294,694)
Why must you lie?
Nathan Price
NINTENDRONES BTFO HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Andrew Brooks
That Link needs to be a girl in a leotard.
Juan Davis
sauce >?
Luis Cruz
You stop playing as 2B like 10 hours in.
Also she dies.
Cooper Russell
switch is still supply constrained, those numbers barely mean anything
Easton Anderson
Are you both stupid or just trolling?
Do you really not think the switch is gonna have a huge holiday season, which includes newcomers buying zelda?
Brayden Sullivan
woah, it's almost as if PS4 and PC literally have the biggest installation base while Wii U as a console flopped and the switch only just came out. >lmao more people saw Logan than your film festival indie movie, how will you ever recover?
Lucas Smith
They could release a Zelda value pack, that has all the DLC in, by the holiday,
It makes so much sense it would be tragic not to do this.
Isaiah Fisher
>a launch title on a brand new system So it has zero competition?
Connor Scott
I can tell you're oozing with rage, keep defending nintenbro
Michael Moore
Do Ninty ever release GotY editions, though?
Sebastian Hill
>sonyg gers so anally demolished by zelda's success they have to resort to blatant lies now o i am laffin
Mason Carter
Did Horizon-kun make this thread? Did he finally realize that nobody gives a fuck about his shitty ass game, and is now using NieR to fuel his crusade against BoTW and Nintendo?
While NieR is alot better than Zelda imo, this is getting pathetic
Camden Powell
>you will never have a sexy body like this Why even live?
Bentley James
Here is why this website is why Sup Forums is going down the shitter
Xavier Russell
No it didn't you dumb stupid fuck.
Angel Gonzalez
>he thinks BotW didnt sold 2M global already user
Cooper Gomez
They'd have to win one first
Nathan Anderson
>not enjoying both games Lmaoing at your life.
Nathan Parker
Zelda will continue selling. Nier is already fucking dead.
Samuel Peterson
I'm willing to defend the Switch as much as the next guy, but that's essentially Nintendo hoping to sell Zelda on every Switch sold if this window is within the first few months. wat.
Brayden Gomez
Reminder that Breath of the Wild sales numbers were based off one fucking day. I love both games, but you have to be fucking retarded to think BOTW isn't going to outsell this by a fucking large margin.
Nolan Morales
Savage.
Ryder Allen
this this is the japanese vidya resurgence and you faggots are taking this time to bitch like this? sad!
Wyatt Ortiz
>buying the consoleversion of automata lmao@you
Kevin Long
they havent really done much dlc before so who knows. MK8 DX is basically a goty edition.
Blake James
>Reminder that Breath of the Wild needs to sell 2 million copies to break even on its development costs. And it's over halfway there after a month!
Jordan Anderson
/thread
Carter Hill
keep in mind most people bought Zelda games to scalp them. There are more Zelda games bought than there are consoles sold.
This. Nier is a shit game, i would rather have zelda on my ps4
Brayden Moore
For sure. We are just halfway through 2017 and it's been a great year for games.
Xavier Murphy
Launch week sales it did.
Thomas Ward
Zelda's one of those franchises that gets game sales for a long fucking time, remember that a lot of people bought OoT and MM 3D even though the games are over a decade old.
Carter Brooks
My nigga. I have to get back to both really, but with Persona 5 dragging my all the way in, Bayo on PC, and all the other top notch shit I'm still to finish, I'm drowning in games, and it's fucking April.
Hunter Myers
>Nier is a shit game
Literally best game of the past 10 years
Wyatt Gray
I'm too use to systems with Platinum, feels wrong on PC.
Noah Cruz
Nier, P5, Horizon and Nioh all have outsold Zelda.
Anthony Wilson
>OP is afraid to show the back of her ass because of brapposters What a world. What a fucking world.
Jordan Foster
Nah, the game was boring until route C
Jacob Torres
it's Sup Forums they don't buy games and they rarely play them.
Logan Brown
FUCK YEAH, CONSOLE WARS!!
Anthony Brown
>compare Zelda's 4 days on sale to Nier having a full week >And it still barely outsold Zelda.
Evan Thomas
So the barrier to entry is far higher because everyone playing zelda on a switch bought zelda and a switch, I highly doubt most people bought a playstation for neir
Alexander Morales
Remember when Japanese devs used to get laughed out of buildings?
Also they take a dig at Zelda, and now it's a top rated game. Can the west even compete?
Noah Hall
Ah too true. I'm sure BotW will reach 2mil eventually.
Dylan Diaz
>only North American sales Okay, but those numbers were close to it day one. Also, the Switch version sold more than the console, so that backs up my point about it outselling more than Nier by a large margin by the end of the year.
Nicholas Evans
>all the nintenbro damage control in this thread no wonder people call Sup Forums nintendogaf.....
Joshua Roberts
sorry man but the game doesn't really pick up until route c it's literally a "it's get's good 20 hours in" game
Ethan Cox
It doesn't though. You didn't play the game.
Jacob Ramirez
The numbers being thrown around in this thread are NA only. Also, this game will continue selling throughout the year, and into thw future. The only one of those you metioned that has a chance is Horizon, which also happens to be the only one of those games not worthy of doing so.
Michael Hill
Phil Fish is a fucking joke.
Juan Harris
I wish I had an anime-tier body.
Ryan Ramirez
It's a shame that they can't let go.
Nintendo hasn't made a good game in like 15 years
Ryder Sanchez
>All this damage control >Doesn't quote anyone
You might as well just said "lol"
Carter Edwards
Because the JP sales don't matter.
It's like an additional 300k and a difference of 50k between the two games onces added in.
Tyler Rodriguez
Some people seem to have an unhealthy obsession with trying to make Nintendo look bad for whatever reason
Jack Gonzalez
I literally want to fuck this woman. I don't even care if she has a butter face. Put a bag over it. My dick craves this body. FUCK.
Jeremiah Sanders
Yup that is what happens when you have a choice of one game to play for months.
Nintendo games sell well for lengths of time because you get one fucking release every few months.
Bentley Jackson
Maybe if they shipped more switches they could actually sell more games.
Owen Gray
>Nintendo hasn't made a good game in like 15 years
true
they only make great games
Elijah Thomas
epic nice i like it yah wah wahoo
Daniel Rivera
that's so unprofessional and straight-up disrespectful, what a faggot, happy his stupid game got cancelled. I'm not saying japanese games can't be bad, Kamiya commented on this well saying something similar like "he's not entirely wrong, while japan has made good games, bad japanese games aren't uncommon.", but phil was just a dick, and was that jonathan "I intentionally made the game unenjoyable" blow? Just pretentious assholes that took up philosophy in highschool and now think they're hyper intelligent beings. One trick pony's, that's what they are.
Jaxson Collins
There's people waiting on games for sure, once Spla2n hits, there will be a spike in sales, same with Mario. The holidays will also bring in a lot of sales too, but selling over time is just a Nintendo thing. Sun and Moon are still selling now.
Lucas Wood
nigga I just got ending E 2 days ago
Daniel Torres
>buying nier automata Bunch of fucking waifu faggots and Taro dicksuckers, kek
Cooper Miller
>Nintendo will one day become a software-only company like Sega and Sony will get all of their games
I can't wait.
Eli Hernandez
Holy fuck, I didnt know it was possible to get hard so fast
Mason Roberts
Like you've been waiting since before Gamecube, you shall continue to wait, senpai.
Xavier Cooper
Nintendo has several billion dollars less in debt compared to Sony and Microsoft, they aren't going anywhere.
Lucas Murphy
>can't even break even with their most hyped up zelda ever the bell tolls
Parker Green
>yah wah wahoo >Mario and Zelda are the only franchises Nintendo continues! Say what you want about fucking rehashing, but I'd rather take a rehash of 64 that actually makes effort in attempting to shake it up than another generic, stale, sloppy seconds NSMB game.
Angel Campbell
I doubt it'll ever happen but it'd be nice to see so long as Sony lets them do whatever they want.
Adrian Baker
Sauce?
Brayden Clark
>Assuming Nintendo has been stopped by a commercial failure before
I await said bells like I have been ever since I was a kid.
