December 2018 NPD Results: Switch highest selling console of 2018 by units and revenue, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate top selling game of December

I don't think EA really has any major support for the Switch waiting in the wings (which is a little crazy, since I imagine that PvZ:GW would do rather well with the Splatoon crowd), but there's been a lot of indications that 2019 is when we're going to see a lot of third parties start to really unload on the Switch. Likely not with AAA GaaS-like stuff, but getting all kinds of games on the Switch, even if a bit old, is a hell of a change from how Nintendo has been treated for quite some time now.
What's so funny? He's asking a serious question. Is it still on its way to 20 million?
Why are people making fun of people asking about 20 million? Did I miss something?
MatPiscatella not sure if anyone already asked this, but what is the eta for your usual monthly npd video?
Well someone needs to tell me what it is I don't know lol. I'm just seeing people get banned for it.
Oh I see, that one guy caused a derail. Nvm then.

Absolutely absurdly amazing and deserved. Well done, Sakurai and co.

People will still find ways to declare doom scenarios for Nintendo.
People (and by people I mean PS fans) can't stand a successful Nintendo. I really don't know why. Xbox fans are more neutral.
Healthy (especially PS4), but down YOY. We won't see Switch down YOY for at least another 3 years probably. Really depends there on any hardware revisions Switch gets I think.
Doing it tomorrow. Got busy today between this and the ESA press release.
Yes, it's a meme now. I think Benji (?) said that in his entire career he's never seen forums so bizarrely hyper-focused on a sales target number, as if it'll make or break Nintendo.
It's so wonderful to see The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild having such an impact almost two years later. So jealous of adventurers beginning their journey for the first time. ^_^
And Smash had the Ultimate opening. Well deserved.
But man, I'd love to know how games like Skyrim (One of 2018's top played games on Switch), Diablo III, Monster Hunter, and other 3rd parties are doing on the platform.

People are shitting on the first poster, but I too am curious if 20 million is still attainable. What's the FY total at after December? Just an estimate would work. I'm sure we'll get a firm number (and a possible forecast revision) at the investors' briefing at the end of the month.
Those damn PS fans getting grumpy over other video games doing well.
Hopefully Civilization 6 has been selling decently on Switch. It stayed in eshop top 30 for several weeks. I have become addicted to that game.
Can't wait to see the shipped + digital figures for North America and the rest of the regions next Tuesday, I'm thinking this quarter for NA:
Smash >4.5M
Pokemon Lets Go >3M
MK8D, Super Mario Party >2M
SMO, Zelda: BotW >750K
Splatoon 2 >500K
DKTF/Kirby >200K
A bunch of these games got discounts during the last quarter on the eShop, while there was discounts for certain games at retailers for Black Friday/Cyber Monday

It doesn't really say much. We had about 5? SKUs for Switch and far more for Playstation and Xbox. We can't really tell what the numbers are.
Tropical Freeze surpassed Kirby Star Allies in sales.
That must mean it's passed 2 million in sales right?
If so...

Switch is on beast mode and PS4 is kinda going out of its beast mode, but that's to be expected when it's going into its sixth year.
I don't use this word a lot, but reading this is so cringey.
Like I'm getting second hand embarrassment, and I can't even say it made sense at the time. The hybrid concept was always setting the switch up for at least some level of success. Those first page hot takes are unbelievably tone deaf.
We have a thread where you may discuss this very thing:

No true, I'm a PlayStation fan and Nintendo wining doesn't bother me. I got both.
PlayStation and Nintendo like Japanese games so their audience is more likely to overlap.

In the US, yeah. Overall? maybe. We'll have to wait and see in some days.
That's the best part of all of this. Best selling exclusive launch EVER. Best selling console of 2018. Best selling month of the generation. Best selling racing game since MKWii.
PR Announcement? Too bad! Waluigi time!
I think it probably has passed 2 million shipped worldwide. I doubt it has passed Kirby though... Kirby is a beast in Japan.Tropical Freeze surpassed Kirby Star Allies in sales.

To be fair BF V is completely missing sales from PC (and PC is big platform for it). I mean obviously still it saw big drop from BF1 no doubt about that.
Huh? Didn't it lose most months of 2018 and only came ahead at the end because of a massive December? This makes it sound like it was selling best throughout the year.
