Daniel Ahmad, an analyst with Niko Partners, reported that Switch sales in the US were faster than Wii sales after the same period on the market, a lead of about 10 percent. Damn, hopefully this momentum can keep going. It's pretty impressive how Nintendo rebounded with the Switch after the Wii U crashed and burned. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wow. That's...actually really impressive. I hope the Switch stays successful, and I hope it actually has decent third-party support this time instead of mostly shovelware.

Gotta hand it to Nintendo, releasing Zelda and Mario Kart in the first two months of the system's lifespan is a good way to make a statement of intent.
They're just lucky that the Wii U was such a steaming pile of failure that Mario Kart 8 might as well be a new game to most people (which is a shame, because it was amazing on Wii U too) I wouldn't be surprised if they flesh out a year or two of games with ports of Wii U titles like Smash Bros, Donkey Kong Country, Mario Maker and stuff. They released a lot of excellent titles that sold (relatively) poorly so they've got a big backlog of second chances for those games. --- Physician [Internal Medicine] ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't understand why this is happening 1. Releasing actually good new games (while Mario Kart 8 isn't actually new, its new to most people since barely anyone had a Wii U) 2. Good marketing and branding unlike the Wii U. EDIT: Also, if Nintendo's smart they will release Smash Bros. 4 with all the DLC. It would basically be a game to print free money since once again, barely anyone had a Wii U. --- We all live in a Yellow SUV! a Yellow SUV! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Breath of the Wild are not the types of games you normally expect at or near a console launch. BotW even benefits from not having been out on Wii U prior to the launch (though I applaud Nintendo for not hamstringing the Wii U version). Mario Kart 8 and its DLC represented Nintendo and the absolute top of its game in a last ditch effort to save the Wii U, so the production values and content are way beyond launch title stuff.

I don't understand why this is happening it's a cool piece of tech that launched with one of the greatest games ever made and had the best mario kart to date released soon after. It also had actual marketing behind it, probably the most out of any nintendo console ever. Both those games are on the wiiu but since very few people actually own one it doesn't matter --- ...

It's worth pointing out that so far the Switch punches way above its weight graphically - I certainly didn't expect 1080p 60fps split screen Mario Kart 8. The Wii U couldn't even output the game above 720p with single player. Considering the switch is this tiny-ass tablet, that's pretty nuts to me.
Fast RMX looks amazing too. --- Physician [Internal Medicine] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nintendo benefits from the diminishing returns of graphics from last gen to this one. Basically anything that isn't deliberately going to max out the PS4 or X1 looks and runs surprisingly well on Switch, based on Digital Foundry comparisons.

Eh, I just figured Zelda lost the mass appeal it had in the past five or six years since Skyward Sword. It's not so much that I didn't think it would sell, but I figured it'd become bigger at the end of the year than right out the gate. --- "Wait a minute...If I ever get a hold of you, I will thank you for showing me the futility of human endeavor." ...

Also the Wii-U never had a fire sale like Dreamcast and Gamecube. Since the Wii-U costs as much as the Switch, if you want to play Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 you might as well get it on the system that runs the games better and will actually have some new games in the future.
