Game's only got about 3.5 million sales to go before it's the best-selling Zelda game of all time. Considerably more than halfway there.
It definitely has a chance to become the best selling Zelda by the end of the year.

Another reason to want a proper Smash 5 than a Smash 4 DX
I don't think there is much more they can do with Smash on Switch apart from add to what they created with 4. The gameplay was great and it was already 1080p/60fps.
I think we'll see Ice Climbers, Inklings, a couple of ARMS characters and maybe even Rabbids, Rayman and Bomberman.
They'll be new stages to compliment those characters and a few remasters of some of the 3DS stages as well.
Hopefully a new and improved online system.
Eh, I'd rather they focus on the main game itself. An Adventure Mode would be nice, though.A great single player campaign might make it one of the best game ever.
Great numbers for Nintendo. Please announce the Virtual Console and a proper account system, that's all I ask. I want to join the bandwagon.

The only other system up there still supply constrained 4 months in was Wii. And it's constraints lasted well over a year.The thing that you aren't factoring in is the fact Switch has been heavily supply restrained and this is likely to be the case until well into next year. I realise this is the same for the others but I'd expect Switch to end up number 3 just behind PS4 and Wii by the time they finally meet the demand. After that.....we shall see.
SFV is at 1.6 million now, actually.
As for ARMS, I guess it really is on track to become the Splatoon of fighting games.
How so? GTA V on Switch would be amazing!Most hilarious post of the thread, easily.

I doubt it. Each additional big exclusive will dilute the Zelda attach rate, and I expect Mario Odyssey to be the must-have Switch purchase of this Holiday season.
I doesn't really matter though, since it seems like Breath of the Wild will get there eventually.
Is Splatoon going to be the Dark Souls of unique genre changes?
With the success of Arms, Nintendo might put a focus on new IP more often. Iirc, Arms was developed by the Mario Kart team. So they shouldn't stop there. Get the Zelda team on something new, the Mario team, etc.
We could get really exciting results.

Unless you're okay with a sub-HD resolution on the Switch for both docked & undocked, I wouldn't get your hopes up for Tekken 7 on the Switch (for reference, the OG PS4 can't run the game at 1080p). DBFZ might have a shot, but sadly, not Tekken 7.
I'd say Minecraft is the biggest third party game released on the Switch by far.
As for sales.. didnt Bomberman surpass half a million in sales?
Switch has that special appeal that people are willing to double dip, triple dip on just for portability. I would for gta, overwatch and persona for example. There is a lot of potential here.
If third parties are smart they should jump in now
I posted in another thread
some calculations of shipments for the best launches of all time. Since months can be different durations, I adjusted all values to 17 weeks to match Switch. I also corrected for regional staggering where possible (details in linked post). The results:
Code:PS4: 6.99m (holiday) GBA: 6.52m (spring) Wii: 5.43m (holiday) XB1: 4.92m (holiday) NDS: 4.90m (holiday) [B]SWI: 4.70m (spring)[/b] 3DS: 4.42m (spring)
At some point, Xbox One will slide down past Switch. But the other 4 platforms above it will almost certainly stay there forever (only GBA might be catchable, but it'll be years).
I did note launch season, but I'm unconvinced it matters that much. See below.
Actually, this is the exact same ratio of US sell-through to worldwide shipments as during March.
As I said above, I don't think this matters much. All but the biggest failures will sell out no matter what at first. It's the sustained level after that pulse which differentiates success from massive success. For example, if we ignored PS4's 2013 holiday and assume its 1Q2014 shipments were a March launch instead, after 17 weeks the results would still be higher than Switch.

Fortunately Switch is also a handheld.Grand Theft Auto has never appeared on a Nintendo console and has only appeared on Nintendo's handhelds in a handful of odd spinoffs.
When Nintendo was on top of the industry with the Wii it STILL didn't get a Grand Theft Auto title.

They need to make some AAA single player IP's now. We got a couple of multiplayer focused new IP's. Let's see some single player focused games now.
It's definitely over 5 million, in fact. 3.92 million for Switch and 1.08 million (and whatever was added this quarter) for WiiU.If we count Wii u botw sales, its probably 5 million total by now
Yeah, I'm personally hoping Retro will surprise with a great, story-driven single player (focused) new IP, since they have a lot of talent.
Indeed the most surprising information here.Little Monser;244519167 said:Wow @ ARMS easily breaking a million
