WHAT WE KNOW-
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171019005513/en/Nintendo-News-Nintendo-Systems-Claim-Two-Thirds-September
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In September, the Nintendo Switch system was once again the top-selling current-generation console hardware, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. This marks the third straight month that Nintendo Switch has been No. 1, and the fifth time overall in the seven months since its launch. Nintendo Switch has already surpassed 2 million units sold in the U.S. alone, and has yet to go through its first holiday shopping season.
When combined with the Nintendo 3DS family of systems and the plug-and-play Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system, Nintendo systems claimed two-thirds of the month’s total video game hardware sales.
Nintendo Switch games again occupied multiple spots in the list of best-selling individual games of the month, including Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle from Ubisoft at No. 7, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at No. 10 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at No. 11. Also, the Metroid: Samus Returns game for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems debuted at No. 8.
Nintendo Switch aims to continue its momentum into the holidays, with the launches of Fire Emblem Warriors on Oct. 20, Super Mario Odyssey on Oct. 27, DOOM and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim from Bethesda Game Studios on Nov. 10 and Nov. 17, respectively, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on Dec. 1. Additionally, Nintendo 3DS will see the arrival of Fire Emblem Warriors on Oct. 20, Mario Party: The Top 100 on Nov. 10, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon on Nov. 17.

By Inflatablemidget Go To PostMatt Piscatela from NPD said he was going to post his info at Waypoint (lol). He chose poorly.
Not anymore :P
If you guys want to tweet him informing him of gaffers here, maybe we can welcome him here! Would love to have him here.
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostMatt Piscatela from NPD said he was going to post his info at Waypoint (lol). He chose poorly.
So if he can't post to Waypoint where is he going to post then? He certainly hasn't visited here (AFAIK)
By Pennywise Go To PostOh that's right. They're the ones that don't want people to use pronouns or start sales and review threads. Waypoint is targeted at a very very very tiny niche audience. They can keep it. Everyone should tweet back to Mat and tell him to come here.
Not anymore :P
By Diego! Go To PostIs Waypoint the forum with peculiar rules about not posting sales and box office dataYes, they don’t allow any sales threads because it doesn’t agree with the environment they are trying to create.
By joefu Go To PostWell I tweeted at him with link to thread, would be awesome if he does share stuff here!And also reviews, I think.
By Diego! Go To PostIs Waypoint the forum with peculiar rules about not posting sales and box office dataThat's the one.
Also I tweeted at Mat.
By Diego! Go To PostIs Waypoint the forum with peculiar rules about not posting sales and box office dataYeah, if you're a GAF refugee, Waypoint is definitely not the place you want to be. Hell, they won't even let you use the word "refugee" there because "It's offensive to people that are actually refugees." lol I wish I was making that up.
Did we ever get the digital share for destiny 2? Someone on gaf was teasing it would be really high.
By Grimsat Go To PostDid we ever get the digital share for destiny 2? Someone on gaf was teasing it would be really high.Mat was teasing it. That's part of today's upcoming info apparently.
By Ukumio Go To PostThat's the one.Ya spelled SLAENT.com wrong lol
Also I tweeted at Mat.
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostMat was teasing it. That's part of today's upcoming info apparently.Sweet, hopefully he brings the goods here.
By joefu Go To PostYa spelled SLAENT.com wrong lolThanks, fixed :P
Thanks for tweeting him.
Don't forget you can embed tweets here, in case we can only rely on them.
Just click on the circle to your left, which is also there to include pictures,videos and other social media pages.

First post at Gaf was in an NPD thread (back when we got actual numbers), might as well make my first post here. Question: Is NPD day no longer Thursdays?
There was a problem with the numbers last time so they were not able to disclose the charts last Thursday. But yes normally it is on Thursday ;)
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostYeah, if you're a GAF refugee, Waypoint is definitely not the place you want to be. Hell, they won't even let you use the word "refugee" there because "It's offensive to people that are actually refugees." lol I wish I was making that up.It's a nice place and they did us a solid, but yes, diving into that forum would require letting go of elements that I value too highly from the GAF era.
Really interested to know how well Mario+Rabbids did. I'd like for it to have done pretty well, not just because it's a good game, but because I'd love Nintendo to continue to allow more weird joint efforts like it.
Is Mat just going to tweet the results? I've seen people recommend this site but I'm happy as long as there's a place to discuss the tweets themselves.
By DeadOnions Go To PostIs Mat just going to tweet the results? I've seen people recommend this site but I'm happy as long as there's a place to discuss the tweets themselves.Looks like it, at least that's what he said.
Two users tried to get Mat to post here, but he either didn't notice or doesn't know about this place.
By Pennywise Go To PostLooks like it, at least that's what he said.Yeah, I think he's just ignoring it. I tried a few times and he didn't respond, so I'm not gonna harass the dude. At least we're getting the info.

Yeah, ranked by revenue is kinda weak, but whatever. Nice to see Mario and Rabbids in 5th. Pretty crazy for such a weird concept. Was glad it worked though. Game is fun.
Ugh sucks being on mobile, can someone link the complete thread from Mat?
Also anybody know what the other MvCs ranked when they launched? 6th doesn't seem good for MvC:I...

That's surprisingly high for Marvel vs Capcom Infinite isn't it? All signs were pointing to bomb central.
Good result for Mario + Rabbids. Metroid seems OK, given how it released on a system that's in its twilight years and is now in a much more niche genre than it used to be.

By joefu Go To PostKind of expected every month for at least a year given that in the prior year Nintendo was completely irrelevant in the console business.

Chumps buying MvC huh? LoL.
Then turn around and complain about DLC and loot boxes.
They need to take a seat.

The Marvel brand is so much stronger in the USA than in the rest of the world. The game has been bombing everywhere but here.
So it seems Destiny 2 is the best selling game this year... but wasn't it lacking when compared to the first one?
This a weird year. It's one of the best years in gaming in the last decade I think, but software sales seems somewhat disappointing.

By kaputt Go To PostSo it seems Destiny 2 is the best selling game this year… but wasn't it lacking when compared to the first one?I think it was in terms of physical sales, it was rumored to have a higher than average percentage of digital sales.
