So, Nintendo sold the most Switch units. Again. Despite it being Destiny 2 month.

According to the article, Nintendo owns 2/3 of the hardware chart now leaving both Sony and Microsoft in the dust.

What can stop them??

Hey man, could you go ahead and take this thread down? I know you’re probably new but this doesn’t really fit the narrative here

>What can stop them??
More consoles coming out.
>people buy one console the most
>OH MAN CONSOLE IS TOPPING THE CHARTS
>few months later people decide to buy another console since they already have the one above but good games are few and spread out between shit devices
>ON MAN OTHER CONSOLE IS ON TOP NOW CONSOLE BTFO
>continue process for remaining consoles
>repeat in next generation

I like how all the naysayers have crawled back to their basements waiting for an oppurtunity

>A new console is outselling consoles that have been out for years.

Stop the presses. Nintendbros are insecure.

New excuses every month huh

>In September, the Nintendo Switch system was once again the top-selling current-generation console hardware, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. This marks the third straight month that Nintendo Switch has been No. 1, and the fifth time overall in the seven months since its launch. Nintendo Switch has already surpassed 2 million units sold in the U.S. alone, and has yet to go through its first holiday shopping season.

>When combined with the Nintendo 3DS family of systems and the plug-and-play Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system, Nintendo systems claimed two-thirds of the month’s total video game hardware sales.

>Nintendo Switch games again occupied multiple spots in the list of best-selling individual games of the month, including Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle from Ubisoft at No. 7, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at No. 10 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at No. 11. Also, the Metroid: Samus Returns game for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems debuted at No. 8.

>Nintendo Switch aims to continue its momentum into the holidays, with the launches of Fire Emblem Warriors on Oct. 20, Super Mario Odyssey on Oct. 27, DOOM and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim from Bethesda Game Studios on Nov. 10 and Nov. 17, respectively, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on Dec. 1. Additionally, Nintendo 3DS will see the arrival of Fire Emblem Warriors on Oct. 20, Mario Party: The Top 100 on Nov. 10, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon on Nov. 17.

SAMUS RETURNS AT NUMBER 8, OUR GIRL IS SAVED, BASED AMERIBROS.

It's also selling the most games.

>Sony crushed the Pee Poo
>S-SALES DON’T BELONG ON Sup Forums

>Switch beats PS4
>HAHAHA SONYPONIESSSSSSSSSS

>Sony couldn't retake the top spot in Destiny 2 month

There goes the rest of the year. Everyone was sure Sony would take September.

>mfw they'll make a brand new 2D-Metroid for Switch because of this

...

It's selling about the same as the Wii U. There are weeks where PS4 is outselling it which is bad for a new console. It's going to be another Wii U again.

Just... Just wait until Destiny 3, and the Horizon Zero Dawn DLC.

Then we'll be on top!

I'm beginning to feel like a Sony God, Sony God
All my players from the front to the back nod, back nod
Now, who thinks their ARMS are long enough to slap box, slap box?
They said I Sony like a Chad, so call me Chad-god

But for me to shit on Xcucks it must be in my genes
I got a GodS4 in my back pocket
My nintendiddle will shit his pants when I half-cock it
Sony got a fat knot from that GodS4 profit
Made a livin' and a killin' off it
Ever since Kaz Hirai was still in office
With Satoru Iwata feelin' on his nutsack
I'm a God of Gaming still as honest
But as rude and as indecent as all hell
Sixty-mils, skill-a-holic (kill 'em all with)
This flippity dippity-hippity hip-Godny
You don't really wanna get into a Console match
With this Godny brat, packin' a GodS4 in the back of the Lambo
Nitwit shitch bitch, yap-yap, yackety-yack
And at the exact same time I attempt these Sony acrobat stunts while I'm practicin' PUBGod
I'll still be able to break a motherfuckin' table
Over the back of a couple of Ninfaggots, and crack their 3 inch penis in half
Only realized it was ironic, I was signed to Godny after the fact
How could I not blow? All I do is drop Sony-wons
Feel my wrath of attack
Ninteniggers are havin' a rough time period, here's a tampon
It's actually disastrously bad for the ninteniggers
While I'm masterfully constructing this master piece

The cycle was broken for the first time with Wii U. But now, the cycle begins anew

>It's selling about the same as the Wii U

U wot. The Wii U died like 4 months in while Switch is fucking dominating most of the world every month

>Sony crushed the Pee Poo
>HAHAHA NINTENKEKS

>Switch beats PS4
>S-SALES DON’T BELONG ON Sup Forums

the most embarrassing image i've ever seen

Poor Horizon, having BotW outshining it again with Champions Ballad.

>Dominated
It barely outsells the PS4 in USA and gets outsold in Europe by a large number.

b-BUT EUROPE DOESNT COUNT

Consoles typically hit their stride a couple of years post release, I hope you realize what this means :^)

Ya gotta look at it from worldwide sales. It's literally dominating Japan securing plenty of Japanese 3rd party support which will help keep it dominating. It's beating PS4 despite large games in the US. It's also doing really well in some parts of Europe, like France and Scandinavia.

The only region it's actually weak in is the UK but even there it's dong passable

NOW PORT IT TO THE SWITCH YOU HACKS.

If it has remappable controls I'll buy it again.

PS4 is having its strongest year currently.
So you are basically saying the switch will sell even better in 3 years? Damn

Please delete this right now.

>Barely outsells
>Nintendo had TWO THIRDS of the Market this month
>Has no source about Europe aside from possibly VGChartz

State of you, mate.

So they still lose to 4 year old PS4 in global sales? Sad

But this is PS4's strongest year yet?

>even there it's dong passable
The dong is way more than 'passable'.

That Nintendo is performing as an outlier and isn't really really predictable?

>Switch won't get a pricecut anytime soon since it's selling like mad

The market is really performing well this year! That's cause for all vidya lovers to celebrate.

Whoops, kek

That’s including Switch, SNES mini and 3DS against the PS4 cuck.

2017 truly is the best year

I have the money, but why would I buy the switch?
For Zelda and Mario? And Mario isnt even out yet.

So, any guesses of the current worldwide sales? I'd say it's around 6,5-7 million. Meaning it has already sold more than half of what Wii U did in 4 years

There should be a quarterly conference some time this month where we'll get up to date worldwide numbers.

APOLOGIZE TO FLORIDA

>Between the Switch, SNES Classic and 3DS, Nintendo had two-thirds of September's hardware sales in North America

It already has hundreds of games, and here's some of what's left this year

>Switch, SNES mini and 3DS against the PS4, Xbone and Vita.
Fixed

I think your estimate is accurate. We'll know at the end of this month when Nintendo releases all the official data up to September 30th.

It will hit 10m by the end of the year. Probably outsell Wii U by FY1 2018

Odyssey is going to move a shit ton of units, plus holiday and black friday is coming up so 10mil might even be conservative! If Nintendo can keep up with stock, I think it's possible to reach 11 or even 12 million units

So removing sports games and ports of games that are already released (multiplat is fine but I'm not rebuying a $60 game for another $60) you've got FE:Musou, XCOM: Mario edition, Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, shovel knight, octopath (not heard of it), Wolfenstein 2 and some sort of snipper clips GOTY. Not a bad line up

...

Sony and Microsoft releasing their next gen systems will end this.

>octopath (not heard of it)
Square Enix RPG from the producers of Bravely Default, there's a really good demo out on the eShop.

>Microsoft
Lol

>octopath (not heard of it)

Nigga, you're missing out

Is there any hope?

This upsets me.

>Positive news in gaming
>used as console war bait

>sports 'n' ports

Nintendo, a pure vidya company has surpassed Sony in the stock market now. Sony is bleeding money from everything but the vidya at this point, if they screw vidya up too, dark times are ahead of them

I knew that I wanted the switch right after the reveal. I didn't like the GC and Wii. Bought them both when they were already down to 99 bucks and lost my faith in Nintendo after those two letdowns. The WiiU didn't exist in my world.

What I'm saying is: I bought the switch not because of brand loyalty, but because I thought it would be a success. Feels good that I joined the winning team, though.

...

Nintenfags are so delusional at this point thinking switch will continue to do well when Sony will own everything this holiday. You will ser Nintendo failing this holiday with their kiddy games. Real gamers will pick up ps4 or xbone x.

no console except snes, 3ds and wii has sold this well in their first year of launch you dumb neanderthal.

What must-have game does the ps4 have to offer this holiday season?

weak falseflag there, nintendfriend.

>removing games in a specific genre that you don't like
>not having heard of octopath

I don't like sports games either. they're trash and they're not off to a good start but their support is immense for the console and the fact that they even released this early is good signs for more games user. let's hope.

Capcom are probably panicking right now. They chose the wrong team for the Japanese market this time. MHW basically HAS to be a best seller or Capcom will be in deep shit.

there's no hardware numbers for europe outside of some rare country specific ones, what are you talking about?

Nintendo hardware includes 3DS. When did NPD become so biased towards Nintendo?

>UK

Dear god why do brits have such godawful taste? They're arguably the most cancerous nation on earth.

>Nintendo also noted in today’s announcement that, when combined with the 3DS family of systems and the Super NES Classic Edition system, Nintendo systems claimed two-thirds of the month’s total video game hardware sales.
So they had to add all of their hardware together to beat Sony? LOL
SNES was outselling the Switch on Amazon despite only being available from scalpers

World has to sell as much as Mario Kart, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and Splatoon combined to perform as well as the 3DS titles.
Unless this magically becomes the next PUBG Capcom is fucked.

>Capcom: "Nintendo, please increase the ram on the Switch."
>Nintendo: "Alright, I wonder what awesome games you'll put on it now that we made it more powerful like you wanted."
>Capcom: "..."

What else do you expect from this cesspool?

European sales don't matter. All they play is FIFA and Call of Duty so European sales don't actually help secure more good exclusives. In terms of importance:

Japanese sales>>>>>>>>NA sales>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>European sales

2/3. That means either 3DS sold as much as the Switch or more (which is very unlikely), but even then, the Switch with it's 1/3 would still be outselling PS4 and Xbox etc combined.

You wish, Sonygro. Here's the sales trend for almost every video game console in existence:

1)Strong launch numbers (unless it's a flop)
2)Drastic fall in sales after first 2 or 3 months after launch (how much of a fall depends on how well the console was received)
3) Steady rise in sales until year 3 or 4 of the console's lifespan, at which point the inevitable decline begins until the next gen console launches

In other words, this could very well be the LOWEST sales numbers for the Switch until it's twilight years. And it's STILL beating the PS4 during what is in all likelihood it's last good year until the decline hits, which should be sometime next year.

Happy holidays, Sup Forums ;)

nothin personal kid

At this point I'm like 99% certain Sony paid Capcom not to release MonHun on Switch and to not localize MonHun XX for the west because that'd take away sales from World.

That has to be it, otherweise it makes no sense. If they wanted, I'm pretty sure Switch could run MHW with some tweaking.

It also includes the SNES, which was outselling the Switch on amazon despite only being sold by scalpers
I wouldn't at all be surprised if the SNES beat the Switch, in fact, I expect it.

I don't think Nintendo can catch up to PS4's total numbers but I'm 100% sure it will beat the Xbone with a large margin despite the 5-year headstart

Doesn't explain all the other dumb decisions Capcom has made

The 3DS most certainly did not sell as much as the ps4. Maybe more than the Xbox One. But it still leaves Switch with the most sales over the PS4 and all sony hardware.

PC exclusively here and I'm happy for Nintendo. Nice to see Sony getting a run for their money.

Thanks bruv, good to see Sony's exclusives going to PC aye.

I wish all PC-bros were like this

Of course they did. The Japanese console industry is desperately clinging to its last bit of relevance in the very niche big screen market (Nips don't care about graphics or they'd be playing on PCs). Now the Switch is poised to take that that away from them too. Moneyhatting World is their last ditch attempt at saving the Playstation brand in their home country.

We'll see. I'm skeptical of this since no company has added all their hardware together like this since Sony clumping the Vita together with the Playstation brand. And Nintendo was in a quick hurry to get this PR statement out. Why? NPD is making the full report available later today. It's almost like they're trying to control the narrative.

>Sony
>white

>I'm skeptical of this since no company has added all their hardware together like this
I'm sure Nintendo released this information for investors, not for Sup Forums to shitpost about. Investors are more interested in the overall earnings from Nintendo not from specific consoles.

We are all united against Sony here. As PCbro I am with my Nintendo nakama.

omedetō on your NPD shouri.

And it looks grim. Nintendo really made some wise decisions with the Switch when it comes to Nipponland. It's the perfect system for the average Japanese and so it will continue to do great while the PS brand is sinking in quicksand in Japan.

If the PS5 is another stationary console, Sony will lose Japan, hard. If they want to stay relevant there, they'd have to copy Nintendo and make a hybrid

Switch was #1 this month, all Nintendo products were 2/3 of all hardware sales. What more do you expect?

You upset your mom

The fact that Switch is likely far less than 1/3. SNES mini was an overwhelming presence, it likely launched with at least 100k more units than the highest seller of modern consoles, and they all sold out.

>not for Sup Forums to shitpost about

For some reason, this thread has been relatively civil

DELETE

NIntendo is only allowed to dominate Japan. Nowhere else! Delete this!

I kinda thought Sony would put out a Japanese-exclusive Vita successor to keep all the small Vita devs from migrating to Switch (some of which have already started doing so like NIS and various VN publishers), but they ended up confirming their handheld line is completely dead instead.

Reminder that SONY fucking congratulated Nintendo on the switches success and even said it's been good for videogames and the market all across the board.

>Sony backpedaling

>Destiny 2
Oh my. Does those retards that play sales instead of games can not tell a turd from a fine game?
