Mario Odyssesy will boost the Switch to over 100 million by the end of its life cycle.
The switch is right behind the Wii even with stock issues and people waiting for Mario.
Switch Vs. Wii Global:
Gap change in latest month: 236,047 – Wii
Total Lead: 687,529 - Wii
Switch Total Sales: 6,078,757
Wii Total Sales: 6,766,286
August 2017 is the 6th month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for. During the latest month the gap grew in favor of the Wii by 236,047 million units. The Wii is currently ahead of the Switch by 687,529 units.
The Wii launched in November 2006, while the Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017. The Switch has sold 6.08 million units, while the Wii sold 6.77 million units during the same timeframe.
At the launch it was hard to get. After that it was in stock almost everywhere. Maybe not in america, but there are other places on earth.
Bentley Barnes
Wasn't in London.
Kayden Jenkins
I'm a poorfag so normally i'd wait years and piracy before buying a new console, but Odyssey is really pushing it for me, if i do manage to get a job in the next months i may actually go for it
Elijah Wood
It's never been difficult to get here, except a week or two after release.
Jonathan Adams
I bought a switch and it is honestly the most fun I have had playing vidya in a long time.
(The games I own are pokken, Mario cart and splatoon)
It is refreshing to just play a game and see no lootboxes and 10,000 dlc add-ons
Adrian Hall
Stop lying lol. You weren't trying to get one. You don't mention those "options" were all $200 at least over the retail price.
Caleb Walker
Just fucking get a job. It's not rocket science.
>tfw i'll be able to walk right across the street on the 27nd and pay for Odyssey completely with tips on a 4 hour shift
Jeremiah Cook
You could just play hat in time and cuphead and avoid the $300 paperweight desu. You'd avoid the shitty online multiplayer as well
Julian Cruz
>maybe not in america >mentions his experience of trying to get one in america
Jaxon Roberts
The Switch is my first console since the GCN and the first console ever I've bought very close to launch. And the first console for which I'm buying games new instead of waiting and buying them used. I've never played this much in my life.
Caleb Scott
This reads like a shill post.
Colton Sanchez
You could just not play games, pick up a real hobby and not have any console paperweights....
But that would be doing something completely different
Julian Allen
No I wasn't trying to get one, but that doesn't mean that I'm blind and cannot see what stores sell.
Adrian Parker
It's hard for me because of unrelated things going on in my life, I've been moving a lot because of my family. I did have a job interview a few weeks ago... on the other side of the country, where I'm supposedly going to live on my own because last year i signed up for college there since it's where we were living, but the truck we rented to get me there (my father had to pick up some furniture on his way back) turned out unavailable at the last minute so i missed the interview and they didn't reply to my emails anymore. So now here i am wondering if it's actually worth it to go live in the damn alps on my own for the sake of an university course that maybe I'll never see to completion or if it's better to stick here in familiar territory with my dumbass family where i basically act as a maid
Sorry for the blog but it's hard to tl;dr this
Zachary Long
Man I really want to get a switch but am pissed that the mario oddyysey bundle doesn't include a physical copy of the game. And the fact it still costs more than buying the game + siwtch seperately
Easton Gray
Nintendo fandom is really a mental illness at this point
Wyatt Reed
You get that neat hat though
Josiah Bell
You are going to wear it?
Ayden Miller
what
Ryder Powell
Doesn't the bundle come with cappy?
Evan Brooks
Monster Hunter will 1000000% be on switch again. World was just in development years before Switch even existed.
To anyone who unironically believes that Capcom won't put MH on a fucking handheld system that's selling insane numbers in Japan is a fucking retarded cunt.
World G will be on the Switch
Alexander Hernandez
The one in the OP comes with a case for the console. But i did see a couple of Gamestops full of Cappies so there must be a way to get them
Nolan Diaz
>World G will be on Switch
It's already in development, actually.
Juan Hughes
>Can't beat a four year old console.
It's a flop like the Wii U.
Adam Bailey
ZOOM AND ENHANCE
Austin Davis
It's literally carried by yuro's buying a fifa machine.
Easton Murphy
At that point you're not playing good games, so...
Eli Nguyen
When's the next hardware iteration likely to come out? Torn between getting one in a few months and just waiting for the second version, because by that time I can't imagine it will be far away
Isaiah Barnes
>having to resort to VG chartz and Sony talking about shipping numbers instead of customers sames 6 months of hard drought really doesn't do good to simpleton's brains.
Daniel Wilson
The Switch will not be another wII, it is just impossible
Wii marketed to old people, moms and family, and offered something new at the time which was motion controls
I mean hell I know ps2 sold 150 million but lots of people bought it because it was cheaper than DVD players at the time which world wide was/is a big deal
Hudson Rodriguez
No one knows for sure that there even will be one. Though, if I had to guess, any revision would launch Summer/Fall of 2019 to get a boost from Holiday sales.
Liam Jenkins
And the pic is shopped, isn't it?
Hudson Roberts
Nah, the pic got Euro'd. It's always been Sony territory. Now, however, the Switch isn't anywhere near as scarce as it was, and will sell even better than it has been the past few months, which was already at a great pace.
Cooper White
Uh, i remember seeing the august charts showing Switch on the top, which forced shitposters to use months old pics
Charles Richardson
Still surprised that the Switch is doing so well.
John Turner
>Europe
Kayden Adams
>UK
You guys bought fucking Knack, your shit taste is not representative of even the rest of Europe, let alone a global scale.
Jacob Gray
They are kinda special.
Noah Johnson
Ayy
Hudson Hughes
>nintendo cucks
Jose Johnson
Nintendo games are the best games. Objective and subjective
Jaxon Ross
i hate platform wars, but some of the bants is golden.
Henry Clark
I'm in the exact same boat as you. I just got a job and start training in the next 4 or 5 days. Basically the only reason I started working is because I desperately want a Switch
Benjamin Lee
It's the major games that they keep releasing that's keeping it up really. First botw, then splatoon 2, mario odyssey is next but it's not gonna end there. There seems to be some decent demand for tropical freeze getting a switch port, and I'd buy it since, like most people, I didn't get a wiiu and it's hailed as one of the best dkc games since dkc2. Then there's pokemon. We know the next generation pokemon game is gonna be on the switch and that's pretty much ten million switches sold right there.
The switch could seriously have the sales potential of the wii.
Matthew Peterson
Agreed, the poke fandom turned the 3DS into a smash hit when it looked like it was going to be dead. A mainline poke title for Switch would sell units out the ass
Colton Flores
Fuck you absolute fucking retard. They've literally only become readily availble over the past few weeks in the run-up to Mario Odyssey and Christmas (which is what Nintendo always said they would do.)
They've been sold out fucking everywhere since launch including the UK.
Angel Rivera
This retard. Nice cherry picking.
Jose Morales
>Implying Crapcom won't come crawling back once World bombs
Chase Perry
(Approximations)
Nintendo total sales: 277,000 units
Sony total sales: 199,000 units
Xbox total sales: 74,000 units
BTFO
David Diaz
Next few weeks will be a bloodbath.
Jack Morris
>Video games are the driving force behind your life. Jesus dude, you have some meditation to do.
Eli Thomas
hard to say long term desu. It could sell at 3DS levels, it could fucking destroy the ps2. It'll need at least a few of the following
-A decent hardware revision -Better western support -Better Japanese support -A legitimate presence in china, s korea etc -The casual audience from their wii/ds days (paticularly in europe) -Android emulation -Different skus -Competent online
Jordan Parker
...
Jackson King
yeah Europe is big, see
Benjamin Edwards
> costs more than buying the game + siwtch seperately There is no way this is true.
Luke Price
>Literally only being carried by the least relevant region >Still only just barely edges it out by 2k By the way, consoles don't hit their peak sales until around two years in normally. I'd say it being so close when the PS4 is hitting it's peak is a real JUST moment for Sony.
Gabriel Rivera
>w-who cares, Europe is small!!!!!!!!!!!111 >"Europe sole reason PS4 winning" >b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bbuuuuuuuttttttttttttttt SONYGGER FAKE NEWS YURUPPO WEAAAK MMMMURICA STROOOOOOOONG!!

Levi Allen
>World G pls no just make 5 and drop the goddamn open world meme from fucking monhun
Tyler Lee
whatever you do i hope it turns out good for you user
David Torres
>least relevant region
That would be Japan.
Jack Torres
>Mario Odyssesy will boost the Switch to over 100 million by the end of its life cycle. Bullshit. They're only produce 100k units per week. At that rate it'd take 1000 weeks to sell 100 million, which is 19 years. So by 2036.
Blake Garcia
Its been in stock for the past 4 months at gamestop, stop the nonsense
Jason Rivera
It really hasn't.
Cooper Moore
No Monster Hunter World.
No buy.
Cooper Campbell
Just because Sup Forums likes it doesn't mean it's good. Monster Hunter is fucking shit.
Adrian Ortiz
would be interenting to see a chart to know how many of those eurofags buy from sony just for fifa
Grayson Kelly
Why not 1 billion just like microsoft with xbone??
Logan Myers
>still claiming stock issues when Switch is available fucking everywhere No one wants one. The only reason it sold well at launch is because it actually had a game drones wanted to play, so they all bought one at once rather than waiting. Wii U launched with fucking NSMB and ZombiU.
Benjamin Reyes

Ian Gray
How much has it sold so far? 10m?
Bentley Wright
You lost, Nintendo won, hang yourself
Ayden Russell
>game is designed to look and feel like a single large area >they tried to make MH4 into a single area like MHW (which is internally called MH5 btw) but the textures had to be solid colors they're never going back
Jason Walker
read the OP, it's sold 6 million
Lincoln Butler
hahahah suck my dick nigga hahaha
Luke Perez
Probably. I just graduated in June so I've only been NEET for so long. Waiting on going to college, but figured I'd get a job with the free time I have until then because I really wanna get a Switch.
Jace Martinez
The irony is that the Wii was a very shitty console if you liked video games. It sold a lot, but fuck me if I knew anyone who had one who wasn't the elderly or someone who just bought it for Wii Fit.
That's not a victory for video games, it's a big fucking loss. Hoping the Switch does well is like someone hoping iPhone X does well. Nothing good comes out of it.
Jonathan Price
There's nothing wrong with working for something you want to buy.
Grayson Sanders
That's not much but not bad for its first year. I guess creating an artificial scarcity and hype is more important than good features and a fair price.
Jackson Collins
>buy Cappy hat at GameStop >throw hat at nearest cute girl >??? >profit!
Isaiah Moore
The Wii actually has the second highest attach rate of all Nintendo hardware, half a game behind the Gamecube.
Tyler Sanders
>Full game download. Why do they keep doing this Sup Forums?
Dominic Hall
If Switch does well, enjoy it for the next 8 ~ 10 years because Nintendo will not make a new one and will milk this one for a decade with
>Switch XL >New Switch >New New Switch XXL
etc. models. Nintendo wants to desperately to become the Apple Company of video games.
Nathan Evans
Is Apple analogy new meme
Joseph Turner
I bought mine from gamestop about two months ago and had to pre order for their next shipment cause they would sell out within a few days, and they only sell bundles from their site.
This meme that stores having stock means they're not selling needs to stop christmas is coming in not too long and nintendo is shitting out switch systems as fast as they can. It's going to be the holiday item to get.
Connor Long
The same shit was said about Mario Kart 8 and the WiiU, how Nintendo will take Sonys lead in sales within half a year.
History repeats itself.
Samuel Nelson
Reminder PS4 sold 17 million in one year. Half a year and Switch only sold 5 million.
Benjamin Young
That's implying the switch is a failure like the wii u
Thomas Johnson
The Switch is good though.
Cooper Rivera
same thing people said about the wiiu and look what happened to it i have to see it reach 30mil before i think it's not a failure
