Sony who? Nintendo Switch dominates 29/29 top selling games in Japan

The article mentions November and clearly mentions the PS5 was number one in both " DOLLARS AND UNITS SOLD". The Switch wasn't the best selling console in November. As per the TC's claim it isn't dominating NA anymore.

The top 20 is literally just:

- Nintendo and, PlayStation games

- Sports games

- COD, Minecraft, Elden Ring, and new releases.

(It was a top 10 game on PlayStation platforms in November.)

----

For context, HZD ended up selling over 20M+ units and, it didn't even make the top 20 in Nov 2017 or, the top 10 in NPD YTD in 2017. HFW on the other hand is 8th NPD YTD as of November 2022 and, charted top 20 in November.

It sold much more in its first year than the first installment; that's a lot more revenue and profit.

@Pedro: Pedro, just give him November so it makes him feel like he won.

"Nintendo Switch, for now, is holding on as the best-selling console in units sold.", from the same article.🤷🏽‍♂️

He linked the article. I am just quoting from his link.😎

Just let him have his cake, Pedro. I know sales aren't that important to you or me, but they are to him. Just let him enjoy the month of November and call it a day.

Then that would be out of character for me. 😏

You quoted a link without context 🤣.

That's something you do often though.

I'm just stating basic facts. The days of the Switch being No 1 in units sold month to month is most likely done.

The PS5 is going to most likely enjoy December and every month in the foreseeable future 🤷‍♂️.

@silentchief: I just gave you November, and you're still mad. Lol

Are you saying that the following quote from the article you linked is false?

"Nintendo Switch, for now, is holding on as thebest-selling console in units sold."

🤔

Now you understand.😊

@Pedro: What can I say, I love watching angry people still being angry for getting what they want. Lol great entertainment.

I'm saying it's irrelevant to both my and the TC's claim.

The article I linked clearly shows the Switch is no longer dominating as the last month on record it was not number 1 in units sold. Which was contrary to the claim made by the TC.

It was no 1 because of supply shortages. Which anyone with a basic understanding of the industry already knew.

I'm not mad att all. I own both. I'm just stating basic facts.

🤣. You didn't give me November those were just factual numbers I reported.

@silentchief: Duly noted. Lol

Switch has won gen 9.

The best-selling console for 2022 is irrelevant in a sales thread?🤔

This topic is about Nintendo, is it not? I’m saying it’s a console for children. I’ve owned one and after realizing all the games are the same I played when I was a child, I sold it.

I don't give a flying **** about Sony and their corrupt business tactics and awful system that is the PS5 (seriously probably the worst system of all time). But Nintendo has somehow pushed themselves into a market where they don't belong.

The Switch is a piece of cheap shit, it's a handheld and it shouldn't be allowed in the home console market being that weak for that price. Handhelds always outsell consoles unless it's a Sony unit.

@vgmkyle: Maybe graphics are gimmicks 😎

Why was it the best selling console in 2022? Will it be the best selling console ever again?

That's not dominating.

@silentchief: Yes. Even though it’s like 7 years old now, it’ll still kick Sonys arse cause that console is trash.

Dominated last year and you are damage controlling because of it.

There are some triggered cows here. All because the Switch is the best selling console, and was the best selling console of 2022 as well. Why do they seem to have an issue with that statistic?

I would need a motive to damage control.

They dominated sales due to a supply shortage and even with that they were behind dollar sales, total revenue and the one month the supply shortage is over they lose in units.

I'm just stating facts 🤷. Nintendo has the superior business model I wish them the best but I'm not going to ignore the obvious.

Sales of Nintendo’s Switch dip as chip shortage continues to bite

Even with a Switch shortage 2022, the Switch destroyed both Xbox and PS in 2022 and this entire gen.

Switches were readily available all through the year the PS5 and XSX were not. This will become painfully obvious for every NPD report In 2023.

Just pointing out the facts. You are totally fine posting your conjecture.

I've posted nothing but facts. That will become painfully obvious to you in the coming months. Bookmark this post if you like.

PS5 cost more than Switch by $100 -$200. You mentioning dollar sales is your way of damage controlling the fact that the Switch dominated in sales last year.

No it's just mentioning facts. The Switch won " unit sales" due to a supply shortage. It lost just about every other category including software revenue.

So, the quote was true but you can only accept it with a damage control disclaimer. Must be rough dealing with the fact that Switch DOMINATED in sales last year.🤷🏽‍♂️

But you didn’t post nothing but facts.

They lost all areas with the exception of " unit sales".

And they even lost that at the end of the year. How is that dominating?

Does that include digital sales?

What did I post that wasn't true?

@silentchief: Switch, according to your link is the best selling console of last year and now you're trying to say to the contrary with damage control.🤷‍♂️

Switch was the best selling console last year because of a supply shortage and now you're running damage control 🤷‍♂️

@silentchief: so you're back to admitting the switch dominated last year but with the addition of your damage control nice.

I wouldn't call losing in software and hardware revenue dominating. Then again reading comprehension was never your thing.

Hardware revenue? Talk about damage controlling.😂 And now you are so desperate that your new defense is "me reads not comprehesion too the well."

And Software Revenue . Try again 🤣

You really can't see the forest beyond the trees.

You can't handle the fact that the Switch dominated in unit sales last year and your own link stated as such. 🤭

So cows are mad that even though the Switch was held back last year due to chip shortages, it still beat out Xbox and PS5? Wow, I don't see what the issue is.

Among the consoles, The Switch sold the most and dominated last year. This is undeniable.

Which isnt surprising. Using the standard a lot of cows here like to use (Metacritic), we can see that the switch had almost twice as many 80+ scoring games than The PS5. Including a vastly superior exclusive library.

Nintendo did phenomenally on the game front last year, which probably contribtued quite a bit to the massive sales the system got.

However with the switch 2 rumors floating around, it is likely sales will slow down this year year. Switch is already slowing down in sales. So the PS5 might surpass it for this year. Same with Series S/X

That is silentchief for ya. He does 8 things

1. Misinterpret position
2. Move the goalpost, to suit his misinterpretion
3. Put words in others mouths and strawman them
4. Ad Hom
5. Cite sources that refute his own claims
6. Rationalize when all evidence proves him wrong
7. When called out for acting in bad faith, deflect criticism back, without any justification or context
8. When all of the above fail and backfire miserably, don't learn anything and continue repeating the same mistakes ad nauseam.

Coming from the guy who:

1. Jumps into an argument with no prior knowledge of what it was about

2. Misinterpret's information

3. Takes things out of context and then forces you to defend that position

4. Acts like an expert in every field

5. Cites sources that won't refute or backup his own claim

6. Claims that ones position is invalid due to lack of knowledge on said subject

7. Will ignore every single source that doesn't fit his narrative

8. Repeat's ad nasioum

For your information at no point did I argue that the Switch won unit sales.

I responded to a poster who said " the Switch was dominating the world" yet he ignored the fact that it lost in total revenue ( hardware and software). And lost unit sales the moment the supply shortage was up. I said thst wasn't really dominating.

Pedro somehow thinks unit sales during supply shortage proves me wrong. I'm honestly just stating basic facts. My position is this

I'll state my position on that subject clearly so even a child could understand.

The Switch won unit sales in 2022 because the PS5 and XSX were supply constrained.

@kvallyx: well when you can prove my position wrong that I clearly stated let me know.

That's not what I was arguing 🤣

Let's help you with English.

He Said:

" The Switch is dominating the world"

Dominating is present tense. It means right now. Currently.

It lost the last month on record.

So yes it dominated " past tense" it isn't dominating ( present tense) which is why I said " not really "
