Nintendo expects to have shipped 17.76 million Switch units by March 3rd 2018, on the console-handheld-hybrid's 1st birthday. [prebreak]1[/prebreak]

Currently, the global Switch hardware sales sit at 14.86 million units, with software sales at 52.57 million units.

"For the nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Nintendo Switch hardware sold well following the launch and sales volume rose substantially during the holiday season. For the Nintendo Switch software, SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY was released in October and has been a big hit, with global sales reaching 9.07 million units. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, released in April, has sold 7.33 million units, and Splatoon 2, released in July, has sold 4.91 million units, bringing to 8 the total number of million-seller titles for this fiscal year including the titles of other software publishers. The result is that hardware sales during this period totalled 12.13 million units, and software sales volume totalled 47.10 million units."

Very impressive for such a short time on the market, but can Nintendo really shift another 3 million units in just 2 months?

It's a month we're talking about, not three decades. A little bit of dust, maybe, but there would be no difference at all in battery life in a friggin' month.

*months for those who are actually done with ports and who were wanting to have a NEW experience on a NEW console.

It really didn't have a good GPU...

Okay, maybe kick-ass was an exaggeration, but it actually had a pretty good one. Nobody precisely knows the specs, but we do know that it's a relatively recent AMD Radeon.

here's a really good video of the Wii u specs and where exactly it succeeds and fails. Tldr, it's the strongest console of when it came out but was passed when the next gen fully hit.

This is neither the place for pissing contests nor bragging about/discussing computer specs.

I meant people bought a console knowing that there aren't much EXCLUSIVE games to play with.

Are you talking about the Xbox One or the Nintendo Switch?

 

[DarthDub]

Best damn portable I've ever used. Doesn't use proprietary memory cards (cough cough vita) Overall it's a fantastic system.

Well, from my 20 games... I have 8 exclusives, I can't say the same for my PS4 though

You do realize the PS4 has probably the most exclusive games of any console since PS2 right....right?

I'm proud to be a Nintendo fan!

Weird as hell, your proud of a company who doesn't know you exist.

No, but the problem is... people doesn't buy a console for their exclusives...

PS4 Sold Worldwide: 73.6m

Uncharted 4 Sold Worldwide: 9.82m
The Last of us Remastered Sold Worldwide: 6.02m
Uncharted Collection Sold Worldwide: 5.33m
Horizon Zero Dawn Sold Worldwide: 4.30m
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Sold Worldwide: 3.15m
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy: 1.61m

Those are the exclusives I have from 25 games on my PS4, and look at the sales on a 70m PS4 sold units.

% of people having these games...

Uncharted 4: 13.34%
The Last of us Remastered: 8.17%
Uncharted Collection: 7.24%
Horizon Zero Dawn: 5.84%
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy: 4.27%

How many are good though? for my ps4 I own *counts* ...8 exclusives. Of those, only 3 are not remastered posts of ps2/3 games. Of those 3, id say one was amazing, one was good and one was meh. And theres 0 ps4 exclusives i dont own i have any interest in getting, besides maybe hzd. I already think the switch has a better exclusive library then the ps4 if you discount old system ports but count simultaneous releases. Switch has odyssey, botw, xenoblade 2, mario and rabbids and splatoon 2. Ps4 has bloodborne, uncharted 4... horizon... until dawn? peters out really quickly

Do I have to be that guy that posts the list of exclusives games on PS4? just because you only seem to know the popular ones doesn't mean other people aren't actually gamers.

I said how many are GOOD. Posting a list of all of them doesnt answer my question at all. I guess i forgot persona 5, but besides that no theres really nothing it has that interests me. And nice job assuming i dont know its other games and am therefore not a good gamer. Maybe they just dont interest me? The ps4 library is not very good. And I OWN one. Almost all its best games are rereleases of old games. I have every sony system minus vita so dont you dare accuse me of being a nintendo fanboy.

Exclusives don't mean anything if they're not being bought up. That's kind of the point. You can have a list as long as you'd like.. If only a small percentage of the system owners have bought it? What relevance is it?

... Of course, this argument is subjective.

I'm not talking about sales the PS4 is ahead of the competition for other reasons completely, but the dude said the PS4 is not a great console and doesn't have exclusive games which is complete bullshit obviously he named 4 games I can name maybe 15 just from 2018.

Anyway I'm not arguing anymore, I didn't realize this board was so Nintendo fan boyish honestly. The Switch has like 4 exclusives I'm SURE it will get more but to talk about it like its in the same range as PS4 right now is crazy.

The Switch is a special case for special folk. I enjoy mine, but I won't treat it like a holy book.

You're completely misquoting me. I said it doesn't have good exclusives. Many times I corrected you and you ignored me. It has exclusives. But very few are good. Like max 5 are worth buying imo.

OK Bud

The switch concept is phenomenal I just hope the ramp up game production and make a smaller switch mini that is actually portable and can go in your pocket.
