Bravo.
lol, it really is going to beat Wii U in one year.
Kicking Xbox One's ass apparently. At least Sony has already publicly announced that the Switch shouldn't be taken lightly.
Love that it’s sold so well when so many proclaimed it DOA
LET'S GO NINTENDO!!!! Well deserved sales.....
Fantastic sales, Nintendo truly hit it out of the park so far with the Switch. They fully deserve the success they have here, they've earned it. The Switch's first year isn't even over yet either.
Amazing
The real™ king! The Switch is killing it! Cannibalizing all the others! Dead on Arrival! Unstoppable train baby! DBZ.gif! Hybrid handheld!
Did I miss anything?
Seriously though, amazing sales. More support for the Switch coming next year hopefully.
Faster than I thought it would that's for sure. :-P
That's great news.
Switch is a beast.
Embrace this beauty, guys. It won't hurt your way of playing. It can do both ways ;)
Wow, that was fast.
That's what she said.
And next year they will say: "All the big IP's are already on Switch now. Next year it won't get any big games anymore."
I mean...it will be dead eventually. The actual dates is just semantics at this point. And this only applies to Nintendo, because yes.
Felix?
Just to hammer home how stupid your comments are, look at all positive comments with green thumbs up. Seems like you're the one with a complex :)
You should probably turn some of that psychology focus onto yourself, you've been acting strangely today.
