Thanks to RidleySlayer for the tip!
Would have thought monster hunter would have had a bigger effect on the switch
Monster Hunter dosen’t increase stock
||It’s a worthless port that doesn’t serve the Switch in any way…||
155.000 isn’t nothing. It’s not a Bomberman.
The beast isn’t out yet
It was a port of an already released game…
Wii U 58… less than PS3… wow
and both are dead systems so who cares?
What did you expect?
Great to see Microsoft on top
Give it another 2 minutes. It’ll drop back down before you know it.
Why is the PS4 Pro so unpopular?
||Because it stands for PS4 Problematic, it’s useless…||
why buy a PS4 Pro if you already have a PS4? For VR? HAHAHA!
Well the VR it still cost too much. I hope in 2019 Nintendo will do their own VR
Gee IDK. Let’s ask Sega when they pulled the same stunt that took their console market to the shitter.
And the same will go for the pointless XB1X. I don’t buy consoles for fucking fads like 4K when it’s not even affordable or ready yet. I buy consoles for the good games it has. Why you think NES/SNES/PS2/GB/WII/DS/3DS succeeded in their time?
….the purge of Stranga will begin.

Bet you said that last time. Also, still a self-racist idiot I see.
I ask myself that same question everyday and seeing the results takes Grunty’s breath away
Because it’s costly, and japanese aren’t stupid.
I wonder how much longer before PS4 passes the 3DS sales worldwide. My two favorite systems this gen going head to head!
