It did this without having any good exclusive games (lolwut), or games worth playing (lelwut).
Thanks to thr other users i shall also inform you that it's also then most sold system in Japan.
But yeah, no exclusives...
-
Well kids need a system to play games on as well
-
Somebody touched my Spaghet
-
And all I need are maybe 3 or 4 more good titles. I dream of a Fallout 4 port also..
-
It is well deserved in my opinion and I wish them continued success. Some really fantastic titles on the Nintendo Switch and I, from the exterior position prior to ownership, really undervalued how much I'd love the portability. Not only has it made for a lovely companion on flights, but the remote nature is a wonder for indie titles and just finding that moment of relaxation before crashing. Zelda BOTW is an absolute wonder.
-
Not only is it doing well, it also brought the fabled Puyo Puyo series to the west for the first time since Puyo Pop Fever.
-
And people continue to eat their own words whenever they say it will flop, or whenever they say it has no good games...

Edited by screwgaystation4: 1/4/2018 9:50:06 PMIt's not even a real console. It's a toy for kids. Those numbers look shit if you think about the Commodore 64 selling two million units in its first year at a time when video games weren't the norm and it cost a small fortune.
-
I'd never buy a nintendo scratch, but I'm not 8 years old. It's good that the kids have a device of their own, even though it's not a console and has no power.
-
No Pokemon, no party.
-
The Switch has no exclusives? I can say even though I don't play my Switch much, Zelda:BotW and Super Mario Odyssey are my best gaming experiences I had in 2017.

Edited by puppyk1sses: 1/6/2018 6:57:50 PMSwitch is amazing. Wife surprised me for Christmas with one. Nintendo did it right. They didn’t milk their franchises with sh[b]i[/b]t DLCs, paywalls, and micro transactions. They actually made about a half dozen extremely strong games on a system that is extremely practical for modern gamers. I commend them, especially this day and age where gaming has turned into a “how can we take advantage of gamers?” thing. As long as they keep quality exclusives coming, that console is well on its way to competing with the big 2 again.
-
I feel like the scarcity increased the hype. Shit, I almost bought one simply because I was able to find one even though I have no interest in the console.

Edited by screwgaystation4: 1/6/2018 6:26:38 PMIf MS released internal sales numbers you'd quickly see this isn't even remotley true.

kirby is family friendly
-
Having bought my sons one each for Xmas, this does not surprise me. It's a really good console. I will definitely be getting one for my overnight work bag. I was going to wait for F-Zero, but I might pick one up when Bayonetta is released for it.
-
Nintendo has finally created a piece of hardware that didn't have a major flaw...
-
It's nice to see a Nintendo console that's not just successful but also competent. I never liked the Wii despite its massive sales. The Wii U was better, but it's main gimmick was a solution without a problem, and it ultimately ended up killing it. Not to mention Nintendo's abysmal marketing for the thing. The Switch is selling great now, but it'll be interesting to see how long that momentum can hold. Wish they would get some Virtual Console and other online functionality going already. It's been almost a year now.
-
I'm glad Nintendo bounced back from the failure that was the Wii U. I'm definitely going to get a Switch for myself before MP4 comes out.
-
Makes sense, it's actually a fun console Can't wait for SMTV on it
-
Is it because its a family console or what makes is special?
-
So it’s the fastest selling in both Japan and the US? Man how is the trash system with only two good games doing this? I can’t believe this Zelda/Mario box is even selling. Stupid kiddie system and nostalgia fools buying this paper weight. What a waste of money. [spoiler]/S[/spoiler]
-
And in japan but boy did piss of the sony fanboys when i pointed this out
-
I’ll get it when Metroid Prime 4 comes out
-
This is the first Nintendo console or handheld I've gotten since gamboy advanced
-
mario party ?

Edited by Kwill87: 1/5/2018 3:11:58 AMWhat you mean no good exclusives? Zelda was great......but I must admit I played it on an emulator but still. PS - The Switch is a handheld, it gets a pass for many things "most" console users would want.
