You should be happy about the Switch sales Commander
||No amount of victories are enough until the one that matters…||
Understood
What 2? The 3 different PlayStations in the console sales list? Or something else?
Oh I see. The Xbox One & Xbox One X.
Godammit!!! Look at Splatoon Go! This game could be really huge when Splatoon 3 launches…. I think it will launch on Nintendo’s next console
Nah It’ll be on the Switch. They aren’t gonna wait 5-6 years to release the next one
Weird that Dragon Quest Builders is just coming out in Japan.
“Monster Hunter World is gonna flop because it’s not on a Nintendo portable system or handheld!”

*waits for someone to scream sales don’t matter yet probably celebrates the fact the Wii is at over 100m console sales*
Interesting enough
