Why are people still buying vitas.
What’s wrong with them
Wait, so it sold over 2 million already? That’s awesome!
It’s good to be Nintendo right now.
yes… but only in japan.
america and europa i dosent look that good
@frentz79 The Switch the fastest selling console of this generation worldwide so it’s going pretty well in others part of the world too
It’s sold almost 9 million in America what are you talking about
@frentz. Read the facts before you make stupid comments like that
Wow, Nintendo is dominating over there. Imagine numbers like those during the Wii U era….
Reggie would have slept with a corpse to get numbers like these back then during the WiiU era.
Nintendo’s fortunes have Switched!
@evan dittmar
yes with america you got right.
i had not the actuel sales.
im suprised, but europe its half.
@evan dittmar
the first year Switch sold 15 Million
in the second year they wonna ad 20 Million more, but they dident reach the 15 Million from the first year.
so it could change with the huge sales on x-mas.
i dont have the numbers.
i just see how it sell in japan and thats awesome. but japan is the mobile marked… europe not.
so im realy wondering how the sales are worldwide
Actually in its first year it sold over 17mil (roughly 17.8 mil).
In Japan it’s a little over 6 million.
This fiscal year end in march.
thats true.
let us hope that the sales still go on in january for the switch… end then the powered up switch inkl. a docking station with power
for better 3th partie support
@danybogard
same to you…
there is no numbers only that they sold 5 million in two quaters…. so they need another 15 and reggie says 60% they sold mostly over x-mas… you can count.. you wanna have more facts, why the swich is struggeling… no 3AAA software… more facts… see the stocks…. they falling like shit. Soon half from that from 7 Month.
thats fact ;-)
Bandai and SEGA try to keep (Sony) PlayStation alive, but Nintendo is unstoppable today. How can they sell 300.000 console per week to a 130 million people population? Do all japs like videogames? Where are the good old grannies? ^^
They did good buy focalizing their workforce on just one console. That’s Nintendo future (and in the smartphone platform, but better not waste time there with first party and license IP to third parties, they already aren’t unable to deploy some new game per month on the Switch, luckily the winter lineup is up to the task).
