@Heavyarms55 for the first time, the PS4 digital sales surpassed the physical with 53% of the games being sold were digital, probably thanks to the huge deals that were on lately but
I personally ok with that as I buy both physical and digital, depending on the game but I do have more digital as I like indies and all those 90-95% off cool indie games are very tempting
I now realize the the PS4 sold 3.2 million compared to the only 2.1 million of the Switch How did that happen? What did I miss? Every major market I saw the switch was always at the top by far
So that means that yen is stronger compared to other currency this year?
Anyway, it is probably also duo to bigger expenses as in the las 3 months they created a new studio under Monolith Soft, putting money to the Nintendo park in universal Japan (and I think another one in Orlando) that will open up sometimes soon, building several physical and online stores over the world like in Japan, Israel and other places probably and they are expanding and hiring many people in the past 2 years (more than 1000 new employees in the last 2 years which was above 20% increase and the numbers keep on growing
@Dellybelly it is actually a big year on year growth This quarter last year it sold only 1.88 million at this quarter So they shouldn’t be worried about their goal for now with the stupidly amazing backlog coming for the rest of the year
@Heavyarms55 Pokémon sword and shield will sit in the top 5 easily, Animal crossing will break the 10 million as well, probably really fast MM2 will probably hit 10 as well, I know it’s sale became much stronger in Japan on its second week compared to the first one and it probably happened in other places as well
I wish the head set wasn’t Labo.... But I like that they keep on expending it’s value, do 3rd party VR developers important their games to the switch? Or it’s still all first party?
@Ventilator if so, with day in day release, it will by far be the best selling version and the best place to play
I wonder how much Cuphead sold on switch so far compared to the other versions (obviously less than the other versions for now, but probably selling pretty damm good as it is the best place to play it)
Amazing! If my backlog wasn’t so large I would have bought it already
It will definitely be the best selling FE game so far and by far and will be the first FE to hit 3 million and more (last record FE Fate with 2.85 million)
@Agramonte Remember it is a marvel based game, nobody care about marvel in Japan, they are not reading comics (as manga is far superior this days, especially for the Japanese market) and they aren’t really watching the marvel movies The last game on the series sold just a bit more than that in Japan and it was on about every system in the market at the time, this is a game founded by Nintendo, and is supposed to appeal to western audiences, not Japanese
@westman98 it sold ok in Japan for a marvel game (they are not big on comics after all) and without the prime day thing it will probably be the best seller in the uk as well
@NotTelevision if dragon quest 11 will sell better on the switch that any other system it will be huge for the series and Nintendo MUA has an amazingly large hype that I didn’t expect ( I believe it will sell more than the “avengers project” for the PS4) and its exclusive nature will turn it into a system seller Links awakening will really sell well and FE3H will probably take the GOTY for strategy game
But.... Astral Chains baby!!!! I will definitely buy this thing, and many believe it will take the GOTY!
55 thousands in a week is still pushing the switch sales very very high!
In out selling the PS4 in Japan by 280 thousands already, until the end of the year it will probably be by a million for the standard (I consider the better battery life a standard as well as it will replace the current model) if not more!
considering the switch lite.... who knows lol
@nintendolie wow didn’t notice it.... that means there is at least another game in stored for us.... (unless it was meant for AC and they had no back up....)
The fact that it was registered in Israel makes me wonder if this is a co-operation with some Israeli tech companies If so, it will be cool! I really enjoy the fact that they finally acknowledged us after years of completely ignoring us lol
@ctrBruno it is the same in Israel for now we just got the official internet store lately and it isn’t full currently, but we got a physical store which is amazing and an e-shop will be up soon
I hope you guys will get the same new treatment as soon as possible and join the party of Nintendo
I really wish to see something like an Israeli Direct lol
I will watch your direct tomorrow to show the support and hopefully will see something interesting enough to buy Good luck!
Will it be in Portuguese? Because it will make it a bit hard to swallow, but I hope for some interesting things there, and it actually can be a Nintendo project like “nindie showcase for every country or something lol”
@NotTelevision yeah weird choice, everyone will prefer to buy Zelda that day
I guess they think that because the switch mini will probably sale tons of hardware (maybe even few millions world wide) in It’s first couple of weeks, and a lot of it in Japan, they think they will want to try the game as a cheaper 2nd game

Re: UK Charts: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Gets Number One, Almost Doubles Awakening's Launch Sales
15 of the top 20 available on switch (more than any other consoles)
2 of the top 5 and 8 of the top 20 are Nintendo exclusives
This is amazing for Nintendo in the UK
Re: UK Charts: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Gets Number One, Almost Doubles Awakening's Launch Sales

Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Maker 2 Loses Top Spot To Professional Baseball Spirits
@Agramonte
counter point: 2018 Japanese box office, 2017,2016....
The biggest movie of all time (Endgame) caught them in the hype, but this is just an abnormally, the other movies didn’t even slip into the top 10
And this game would never even come out if Nintendo didn’t want it to,
And according to what it will sell 9 thousands on steam in Japan?
Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Maker 2 Loses Top Spot To Professional Baseball Spirits
@Agramonte
Remember it is a marvel based game, nobody care about marvel in Japan, they are not reading comics (as manga is far superior this days, especially for the Japanese market) and they aren’t really watching the marvel movies
The last game on the series sold just a bit more than that in Japan and it was on about every system in the market at the time, this is a game founded by Nintendo, and is supposed to appeal to western audiences, not Japanese
Re: UK Charts: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Sees Strong Debut As Mario Maker 2 Slips To Third Place
The are actually 8 games that are not available on the PS4 and Xbox and 11 not available on the switch
But comparing the switch in the uk to to the other system install base is unfair, and yet the switch has 3 of the top 5 as exclusives
Re: UK Charts: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Sees Strong Debut As Mario Maker 2 Slips To Third Place
@westman98 it sold ok in Japan for a marvel game (they are not big on comics after all) and without the prime day thing it will probably be the best seller in the uk as well
Re: UK Charts: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Sees Strong Debut As Mario Maker 2 Slips To Third Place
It seems that Nintendo really starting the get a hold in the UK
Good for them to finally compete there
Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Maker 2 Loses Top Spot To Professional Baseball Spirits
I know Japanese like baseball but to see a psv title in number 3 is surprising
And seeping Sony in general with 3 titles in the top 10
The hardware isn’t really declining, it just slowly going back to normal, but will rise again next this weekend with fire emblem
