It is Wednesday which means it is now time to see which video game software and hardware performed the best in Japan. Once again, it is the Nintendo Switch’s time to shine. There’s nine Nintendo games in the top ten and the best-seller this week is the mammoth JRPG, Octopath Traveler for the Nintendo Switch. Talking of the Nintendo Switch, it is once again the best selling hardware, comfortably outselling Sony’s PlayStation 4.

Do you troll in every news published on this site? Seems you are quite bored…
Why don’t you go and play some fantastic games in your Playstation? And leave us alone while we enjoy other game consoles :)
Answer is simple: he has nothing to play, so he has to troll us as we have lots of exclusive quality content and not just trash filled with microtransactions.
Where is the wii u ?
If you’re objective is to troll then I will let you be and have fun with what you want to do but once you start spamming to others with these delusions you have then I’ll do what I can to cure your insanity and prevent spreading it to others.
1. Mario Tennis Aces, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Crash Bandicoot, as well as Smash Bros and Pokémon coming this year. I don’t call that “no games”
2. What were you even trying to say?
3. “Octopus travel”
Typical Troll. Can’t spell or construct a proper sentence. Worst yet has nothing better to do on break but Troll a news site.
Epically pathetic. But, hey, if it gives your life meaning.
Careful, it might cry.
Didn’t know this was an letter for the president …
Didn’t know you hang the comments on your wall, sorry Xxx
Let’s be real,
You are a bully who insults and attack other people to shut them down.
Honestly, you sound kinda mad and I can feel the rage in your writing.
It’s also ironic that >Mister spelling God Mike< over here types,
1) "troll" With a Caps On.
2) break is with a "," in between and again troll with T.
3) "a" news site is "an" News site.
4) Epically pathetic … <—— Amazing spelling, Waw !
5) but, hey, <—— 2 "," between but and hey 🤦♂️
LULZ
I hope this game sells well so that square knows ppl want games like these. Since it was sold out in Japan at least we can be sure it broke expectations
It will, the demand for this game is there.
Like der game its good but not gread vor new playa
iv you wat I will add youu.
toksik play base
Speak English, Otto!
This game fucking sucks
You don’t even own a fucking game system, asshole! Secondly, stay salty because Octopath Traveler is a worldwide system seller.
I don’t know about system seller, but it’s certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.
Yαour opinion είναι gread vor new παίχτης. Iv know wat youu έκανες there.
(put some Greek in there too for fun)
This το παιχνίδι is very καλό.
I see some admin unfortunately cleared our comments. Nintendo First Order is here for the purpose of fighting trolls, therefore deleting comments is completely redundant.
Fight for your right, Commander!
I will make sure Nintendo First Order will strike back against this trolling wretch. Thank you kindly for your support.
No I don’t notice the PS4 sales, only notice that The first order officer is just a little boy with a large shadow.
First day on the site and he already needs external force to get rid of me, what a fighter, lol.
What a joke.
I didn’t need to call “external support”, external support arrived itself from fellow readers.
Aren’t you the one reporting them ?
You already broke role play today and if you could would dox full info here.
I think you are saving your skin.
Anyways, Playstation First Order clearly won today, since lot’s of reporting and censoring was needed, yet
still waiting for that one, just one comment to prove anything we said wrong.
It was also a good day for admin his wallet, since it’s been a long, long time we had sooooo many comments, likes,
dislikes, reports, replies = page views.
All thanks First Order PlayStation who unlike Nintendo drones doesn’t use Add block.
Thanks, thanks a lot … yeah you’re welcome.
You gonna miss me.
Did you know that the Switch is outselling the PS4 this week in Japan, Pony Overlord?
Pathetic. 12-year old probably.
Sorry but I’ve had a few complaints from readers. Keep up the good fight!
And what a fighter he is. Reporting and complaining to admin.
It seems like you can’t even read properly (again), as I never reported your activity, which I already stated earlier.
Ok, fair enough. I’ll trow the towel in the ring and call it a day.
If you didn’t, I respect your courage and strong spirit, unlike the little rat-boys lurking here around.
This is it boys …
My mission here is complete, you broke the spell.
Shhhttttttt ….
Come closer and let me whisper; I actually never owned a Sony device and only own Nintendo consoles.
Have more than 1000 hours gaming on Switch, why you think I know so much about Botw.
…
My body is dissolving, I’m gone soon,
I made everyone stronger here,
now you have grown strong defense against the real enemy.
I know you guys, you know me, who am I really ?
Uhhh, uuuu I’m
… I’m
Pffff
Don’t …
*Dead, gone forever.
I’m going to give you guys the cheat code to winning this:
Winners are the ones who spend their time playing fun video games. Losers are the ones who spend their time arguing about video games on the internet.
Well now that the war is over, it’s time to come together and have some good sssSSS eee XXX,
YEAH !!
Any girls here ?
You can tell how well the Switch and it’s games are doing by the number of moronic trolls appearing. It’s the marker of good health in video game terms unfortunately.
You go tell yourself that bro.
I’m here the first day, so other 2 years Switch was dead ?
That’s how we must face reality I guess. As long as we can play the games we want and have fun with it then I’ll take it.
Imagine remaking Golden Sun 1+2 using this graphical engine
FF VI would also be a great option
It’s time for a Pocket Switch, it’s time to phase out the xDS.
