FlareXV Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) I know, I could of merge both threads together. From NeoGAF: Quote Switch Japan 1st week sales 313,700 Wii U: 308,600 Wii: 371,900 PS4: 322,100 Note: Switch launch outside Xmas season Source: Nomura/Famitsu https://twitter.com/ynakamura56/stat...33524321189888 It's a bit weird how the switch barely outpaces the Wii U numbers but fails to reach the PS4 opening numbers. Anyway, decent numbers all round and I hope that continues into new week (some how). Thanks to Obliterator for the source and findings. EDIT: Famitsu is reporting 333,000 thousand sold not 3134,000. Well done, Nintendo. Thanks to SnowxSakura and Eyjabria for the correction.

Satoshi Ookami Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) I'm pretty surprised it didn't overcome PS4 numbers. PS4 sucked (still does ) at launch in and for Japan. On the other hand, Switch is Ninty + handheld, what usually sells the most in Japan but PS4 still had better launch (sure, not that much but still)...? That isn't that positive despite quality numbers. On the other hand, it's still Zelda-only console so... we have to wait.

Undead Wolf Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Damn, the PS4 sold more!? I thought that had a weak launch in Japan... Considering how much Japan loves their handhelds, I was expecting this to do much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyjabria Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Media Create sales numbers are now out. Switch is doing pretty well at launch. I hope it keeps the momentum to attract lots of studios to develop quality titles for the platform. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/03/nintendo_switch_and_zelda_breath_of_the_wild_lead_media_create_sales_in_japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add-on: Even the tweet Ob got the data from didn't have the XB1 launch numbers. 2 hours ago, Satoshi Ookami said: I'm seriously puzzled why Switch could sell 300k while Zelda only 200k.

Also Japan got some other launch games that aren't available in other regions yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
