"nintendo is in their own lane"

went from 13 million Wii U sales to 150 million Switch Sales



when will these folks admit that Games make the console.

Nintendo went from 250+ combined. Wii and DS sales.

To 150 Switch sales.


Like i said, if you compare them to theirselves outside of console wars you get a much different picture.

But then you’d have to walk away from all the cac tweet narratives some of you are infatuated with

So are we ignoring the Wii U cause it doesn’t fit your little narrative?

you can add wii u in wherever you want.

Point is nintendo is “winning the console war” yet they are way down in customer base compared to their own historic numbers.

That’s not the point.

I’m making the point that consumers flock to wherever the games are.

Wii u had the same games as switch.

Wii u had the same games as switch.

There was no backwards compatibility with Wii U games on the switch.

There wasn’t a “ecosystem” transition as some of you like to say.

Yea, switch sales started popping when they started releasing good games that you could only play on the switch.

switch early library was all wii u games.

switch early library was all wii u games.

Yup, like Mario Odyssey that came out within 6 months of the switch release

and Breath of the Wild was Switch launch game. Released on the same date for Wii U.

Now we calling wii u games trash to fit a narrative

Now we calling wii u games trash to fit a narrative

who said Wii U games were trash?

I'll put it this way, the 2 best selling Switch launch games we're not available on the WiiU previous to the Switch launch. a 3rd best selling game was released within 6 months of launch (also not available on WiiU)

So yea, not all early Switch games were Wii U games. Welcome to being wrong(again)

Switch released with a 2 games that were not previously available on WiiU. 1-2 Switch and Breath of the Wild, and both sold a ton.

Mario kart 8 trash
Mario 3d world trash
Zelda twilight princess and botw…trash
Splatoon…trash

Well that’s at least until they released on switch, at which point they are great games that lead to amazing console sales
