Supply is hurting Nintendo.

 

[LotusHD]

ARMS has legs confirmed. And this is before the free DLC planned has really taken off too, sounds very promising.

 

[Broken Hope]

Why are people still shocked that Zelda and MK8 have a high attach rate?

Outside of indies there is only really Zelda, MK8, ARMS and Splatoon to play on the thing.

 

[Thoraxes]

Damn good numbers.

And seriously great attach rates.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Anybody want to Calculate ARMS split?


Europe (and rotw) looks better than we gave it credit for it seems.

 

[Ninja Dom]

They just got 100K sales in the past 3 days. So 200k more to go.

That was 100K in Japan.

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Looking forward to seeing Spring Man in the next Smash Bros.

My girl Min Min better make an appearance with an amiibo.

Like clockwork.

That's not how you write Twintelle

Do we know how much Zelda sold on Wii U?

 

[Maximo]

Oops double post.

WiiU was a complete disaster selling 13.56 million over its lifetime 9 million LESS then the Gamecube, its a shame Nintendo can't meet demands I was interested in seeing how crazy the Switch *could* have sold especially since its essentially a "sequel" to both the WiiU and 3DS.

 

[Boombloxer]

Holy crap. Almost 90% of switch owners own Zelda Switch. Only Nintendo can command this kind of attach rate.

😂 Go look at some historicals for the other systems. It's lessens once there are more systems out there.

So, easily over 5M now. Curious how the holidays can impact their numbers.

 

[Lelou]

This numbers are crazy high..

 

[takriel]

It seems Breath of the Wild has surpassed Skyward Sword, which was at 3.67 Million.

Wasn't Skyward Sword 4+ million?

But BotW deserves all the sales. It is sending the right signal to Nintendo: People really like big and beautiful worlds that are worth exploring.

 

[Xbro]

Do we know how much Zelda sold on Wii U?

Somewhere between 1 million and 2.11 million if I'm not mistaken

 

[ramparter]

I'm most impressed by Zelda numbers, expected it to be behind Mario Kart.

 

[HolyCheck]

Like clockwork.

Well hes not wrong.

I bought fate/extellaas theres not much else. Septembers looking good though

 

[wrowa]

Splatoon didn't kill ARMS?

Yeah, that's the thing with ARMS. Even if Splatoon doesn't kill its userbase, it likely has a very negative effect on ARMS continued sales. Someone who wants to pick up a competetive multiplayer game has to decide between ARMS and Splatoon and, well, Splatoon is frankly an easier sell for a quite a few reasons. Kinda baffling to me that Nintendo released these games so close to each other.

Still, nice to see it broke a million.

 

[JoeM86]

Insane attach rates for Zelda and Mario Kart, and a solid debut for Arms- I reckon that 2-3 million could establish it as a franchise that Nintendo will revisit at some point.

Yeah. I don't see ARMS being a top tier franchise for Nintendo like Mario, Zelda, Splatoon or Pokémon, but certainly one of their B-tiers like Kirby and Fire Emblem

 

[Broken Hope]

Like clockwork.

Care to point out where I’m wrong?

 

[Xbro]

Wasn't Skyward Sword 4+ million?

But BotW deserves all the sales. It is sending the right signal to Nintendo: People really like big worlds that are worth exploring.

Nope.

Game also surpassed the original release of Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening and the individual oracle games. We can't gauge where it is because we don't know the Wii U version's numbers.

 

[Aostia]

Wow at ARMS
don't know what to say about switch
We are seeing production numbers more tgsn anything here

 

[SinCityAssassin]

They're entirely different genres. ARMS will continue to sell as long as it gets the content. So will Splatoon 2.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Impressed with what Arms and 1-2 Switch sold. Great numbers!

 

[DecoReturns]

Yeah. I don't see ARMS being a top tier franchise for Nintendo like Mario, Zelda, Splatoon or Pokémon, but certainly one of their B-tiers like Kirby and Fire Emblem

Fire Emblem is A-Tier now

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Oh my god those BotW numbers aren't even taking Wii U into account.

 

[HandsomeCharles]

Anyone got the numbers for PS4/XBO in a similar timeframe?

 

[jts]

I mean, I kinda expected MK8D to have a very high attach rate, and the best on Switch. I thought it would be the highest selling Switch game by a landslide and fast.

The fact that it still isn't is insane. I cannot believe Zelda has a +80% attach rate after all these months and hardware sales.

BotW GOAT.

 

[Mory Dunz]

And I've been arguing with people saying ARMS would do 1-2m LTD.


As in Life. To. Date.


No way Nintendo would promote it that much unless they expected at least 3m, and in my opinion 4m. (I expected Splatoon 1 numbers so we'll see)

 

[higgsboson1997]

Does anyone know if we can see Wii U and 3DS numbers?

 

[andrerobot]

 

[cw_sasuke]

Amazing ARMS performance.... Man so happy to see a new IP perform like this. Nintendo need to stay on that path they started with Splatoon and ARMS.

BotW/MK8... Great.

 

[HeroR]

Nice Results for both Nintendo and Switch. Will Super Mario Odyssey outsell Zelda BOTW?

Probably since Mario usually outsells Zelda, even though 3D Mario sells vastly below the 2D Mario games.

 

[Shauni]

The success of Zelda is a wonderful thing.

Hell yeah!

The success of Mario Kart is a depressing thing.

Hell? Yeah...?

 

[Amneisac]

Why are people still shocked that Zelda and MK8 have a high attach rate?

Outside of indies there is only really Zelda, MK8, ARMS and Splatoon to play on the thing.

It's going to be funny how these posts will keep getting longer and longer. Soon it will be:

There's only really Zelda, MK8, Arms, Splatoon, Rabbids, and Mario Odyssey to play on the thing.

What kind of output do people expect in the first year?

 

[Zedark]

1-2-Switch apparently also broke the million mark, it's at 1.22 million right now: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/index.html

 

[LizardKing]

Isn't Zelda at 550k in Japan on 1.2 million switches? So 650k of those copies of Zelda not sold per console are in Japan. Meaning outside Japan it's sold a copy for all but 100k Switch owners?

 

[Neiteio]

Wow, ARMS is already a million-seller? NICE!

Now give me the spinoffs. Min Min noodle shop sim. Twintelle action game by Platinum. Byte & Barq buddy cop adventure featuring the voices of Chris Tucker and Danny Glover.

Also, make some goddamn amiibo with bendy arms.

 

[sleepnaught]

Awesome to see how well the Switch is doing, makes me very hopeful for the next few years. I really hope they can ramp up production and move more units.

 

[Protome]

Care to point out where I’m wrong?

The bit where you arbitrarily exclude a lot of games for being "indies."

 

[nicolasacmf]

Pretty good numbers all around, but supply constraints are definitely holding the Switch back...

 

[Gurish]

How does Switch's numbers fare against PS4's and XB1's at the same point in time?

 

[Camper Van Beethoven]

Christ, games selling well depress you? Wtf

I don't like the market encouraging cheap, lazy sequels.

 

[wrowa]

Fire Emblem is A-Tier now

If you factor in FE Heroes sure, but if you just look at console/handheld releases FE's performance of >2 million isn't really in the same league as Nintendo's A tier.

 

[Kindekuma]

Good news all around. I can't wait to see Splatoon 2 sales in a month or two. BotW and MK8D attach rate, lawd have mercy.

 

[Immaculate]

After 4 months, the Wii U was at 3.45 million.

It was still under 4 million after 10 months.

The Switch is also tracking ahead of 3DS, which was at 4.32 million at the end of June 30th 2011.

out of curiosity where are Wii, DS were GBA 4 months in?

 

[Neiteio]

ARMS breaking 1.1 million a month after release pretty much means we'll get an ARMS 2 at some point, methinks

 

[Mr Swine]

Really glad Switch and it's software is selling good

 

[Mory Dunz]

Soon/Moon gaining on X/Y

 

[kitschbeam]

Well deserved. I'm really happy with my switch right now.
