Sony’s Playstation 4 had a successful February, according to NPD. In fact, it was February’s best-selling console. However, the Switch has managed to steal the spotlight once again. According to NPD analyst Mat Piscatella, “since the launch of the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One X, the PlayStation 4 has no longer dominated the hardware sales. Nintendo and Microsoft are both seeing growth as well”.
That’s not all. The Switch is still breaking records. Piscatella says that “Nintendo Switch remains on a record-setting sales pace. Over the first twelve months in market, Nintendo Switch has achieved the highest installed base for a console platform in history”. It’s looking increasingly likely that the second year of the Switch’s life is going to be another successful one.
And yet Capcom decides giving away USFIV with 30th anniversary preorders on PS4 and Xbox One is better idea than on Switch. I really don’t understand, it drives me nuts.
And Ubisoft/Activision/EA giving excuses of not putting big games on that system even though it’s a money maker that’s breaking records left and right that not even PS4 was capable of nailing.
Idk. I’m getting everything I want from those guys so I’m a happy camper 😊
Who?
Ubisoft gave me Mario + Rabbids and it’s upcoming DLC and Activision is giving me Crash. The games I want from them are already coming so I’m happy with their support. All I need is Ubi to announce a new Rayman. EA can just die, lol.
I want more than that. Where’s Rainbow Six Siege? Where’s CoD? And more importantly, WTF IS GTA5?
I wish I could say the same Mike S. I am loving what we are getting, though.
Fuck Crapcom, seriously.
Fuck EA especially.
As long as Nintendo doesn’t let the success go to their heads like they did with the Wii’s success and don’t make any mistakes, they should be able to continue this streak.
So basically Pokémon, Metroid Prime 4, Retro’s game, Smash, and any other big titles have to be stellar.
They got this 😎
This is how I see it
2018: Smash
2019: Prime 4/Pokemon
2020: Animal Crossing/New Zelda game
2021:Mario Oddysea 2
That all they need to keep the streak really, trow others games in the mix like a Star Fox and a F-Zero game and they are golden for the next 5 years.
I actually think Animal Crossing could be much sooner and we won’t see an Odyssey 2.
I’d say they already took a HUGE step in the right direction with playing nice with Microsoft and cross platform multiplayer games. I also think when they realized the Wii U was a bit of a dud they let their devs get all their weirder ideas out. The ones that didn’t work that well can die with the Wii U while the ones that had promise can get rereleased on the Switch. That’s why we’re getting Captain Toad and I’m positive we’ll never see Animal Crossing amiibo Festival ever again.
One can hope.
Kimishima and Koizumi are not Iwata or the “mighty” hal laboratory.

If i ever see the Switch Motion Plus, Switch Music, or Switch U, we’re in trouble.
Nintendo’s redemption is producing excellent results.
