Gabriel Edwards
Well done Astral Chain and Fire Emblem. Fuck having to wait until the end of October for actual numbers though, especially with the vouchers.
Dylan Nguyen
Is control sold even worst than Quantum Break?
Eli Morgan
>4. Fire Emblem: Three Houses*
whoa. didn't expect this to stay so high
Chase Brooks
Would be impossible given Quantum was a timed Xbone exclusive compared to Control being on three platforms.
Switch continues to be a boon to sales of first-party developed and published titles, even to stuff like a new Platinum IP and a revived Marvel game. Interesting. I think Three Houses is probably already the best-selling Fire Emblem by now.
Jason Taylor
Sorry for being on topic. One glance at the list and most peoples first thoughts would be
>That's a lot of Switch exclusive games in the top 10
That, but also it's on a successful console, unlike the WiiU
Grayson Evans
>Switch Lite only was made for Pokemon No
Daniel Wood
Tatsumi must be smiling right now.
Brayden Watson
Spider-Man is right there
Jordan Wilson
moron that fit-ring rpg they announced today is not compatible with the switch lite
Jace Hughes
The timing is undeniable, just like the 2DS was. Of course it doesn't mean it's made just for it, but Pokémon is absolutely going to be its first push, there's even a limited edition Lite with Pokémon SS artwork coming out.
Jaxson Scott
>GTA V still top 5 How the fuck? Seriously? Who still hasn't bought it by now after 6 fucking years?
Jack Nelson
>female protagonist game >a man-faced ginger at that Beauty and sex appeal is one of the most important aspects of selling a game with a female lead. Maybe if her entire head didn't look so weird and they gave her some freckles, it probably would have sold better
Lucas Rodriguez
>3. GTA V
To think I wanted to try online a few weeks ago and assumed it would be dead.
Wyatt Anderson
My mother is only playing Animal Crossing and i thought the Switch lite was made for her. The new 3ds.
Benjamin Ortiz
Well, I guess it's possible that AC was originally supposed to release at around the same time as the Lite and Pokémon, but it ended up being delayed into early next year, so it's not what they'll be pushing the Lite with this holiday season.
Samuel Walker
>control got outsold by nsmb dx >control got outsold by fucking marvel
Samuel Howard
it's not for everybody, and i think the super die-hard FE fans are kinda split on it due to it being a bit on the easy side, but i've put a solid 140 hours into it and i'm still having a good time
Bentley Campbell
Rockstar titles are evergreen we've been through this also its the reason why they rarely makes games anymore
Nolan Martin
>A isn't compatible with C, therfore B is only meant for C >m-moron! Yikes!
Jonathan Richardson
>NPD confirmed that this was the worst August in terms of software sales in more than 20 years.
>Well, I guess it's possible that AC was originally supposed to release at around the same time That could be, they fucked up
Brayden Ortiz
>post agrees with me Concession accepted
Lincoln Flores
To be fair after the WiiU I am just relieved the console isnt tanking
Hudson Parker
snoy
Blake Scott
>astral chain >10 That's a pretty pathetic debut, pack it up go home, it's dead.
Elijah Moore
I wish I had some weird white people friends, they seem like they'd be pretty comfy to hang around
Oliver Garcia
That's cause they had big releases prior to 2019. Now it's just Nintendo propping up the entire video game industry until Sony and MS finally releases their next gen console.
Nicholas Lopez
It was also made for Animal Crossing
Leo Robinson
but switch has no games
Parker Williams
>Wow switch hardware is #1 after releasing a console revision that makes it not suck and nintenturds were out there to buy it up What a shocker for 600 please
Jacob Thompson
Maybe 60k units for the month? these charts aren't really that good most games only sell a few thousand copies to get on these charts, the difference between the top 3 and top 4 could easily be 1 million units since top sellers tend to have massive leaps over what's next.
Anthony Ortiz
uh ohhh litytle boy mad lamfo
Colton Thomas
Madden released in July for the first time ever this year
Landon Wright
to put things in perspective astral chain had 2 days of tracking. Control had 5
And literally any game that doesn't require joycons
Alexander Anderson
So where was your steady stream of PS4 bros that would buy 4 of each PS4s, PS4 Pros and PS4 Slims?
Gabriel Martinez
Lol
Josiah Hughes
Are you twelve Oh wait you're a Nintendo fanboy of course you are
Henry Johnson
These things are always meaningless without numbers. You could be 3rd and still sold fuck-all units. Minecraft and GTA V are usually hanging around #10, so them being 2 and 3 points to everything else selling like shit.
Personally I think it gained a lot by riding Nier Automata's coattails
Jaxson Brown
this month should be one of the best ever with both NBA and FIFA being released in the same month for the 1st time ever, a new old LoZ and Bordomlands 3.
Michael Sanchez
>console releases with popular game >console is only meant for that game Based retard!
Isaac Brooks
Do you think they'd have anything to talk about other than Nintendo
Andrew Lopez
Control comes from a developer who's put out shit for almost 2 decades at current point, they are a brand not worth caring about. any hype for it was clearly manufactured, astral chain is just a meek mediocre game that was boosted on the back of nintendo's brand, it's meager sales are pretty much expected, and had it 5 days it wouldn't have shifted much more, other games get most of their early sales in the first 3 days of sale, there's no reason to expect astral chain to be much different.
Michael Martin
Where do you think muh 100 million came from?
Elijah Perry
>Minecraft continues top selling, getting beat out only by Madden
WHO IS EVEN BUYING IT?! AND WHY AREN'T THEY BUYING TERRARIA INSTEAD?>!
Or people are genuinely hyped for it after all the trailers and live demonstration. Like, maybe, just maybe, it's selling because it's a good game and people liked it.
Kevin Russell
White people aren't "comfy" to hang around with.
Hudson Roberts
I mean there was barely any notable releases last month, even if Astral Chain was made by Platinum, their games still are within a niche
Joseph Carter
>exclusive with 2 days of sales beat a multiplat with 5 days What the fuck went wrong with Control?
Don't get me wrong I liked the game more than Automata. I'm just stating the obvious that after a sleeper hit people are naturally going to be paying more attention to Platinum.
Evan Martinez
How do you even get banned from Minecraft?
David Flores
I mean, games that are mostly exclusive to one console isn't going to be tallying up a lot when compared to multi-plat releases.
Caleb Butler

Lucas Kelly
Jesus christ its unstoppable
Thomas Bell
What success? being on this chart means very little, Smash bros has been in the top 10 all year but has only moved around 1 million units for the whole period worldwide, sitting in at the bottom of the top 10 in NPD means very little.
Isaiah Turner
3H is on fourth
Adrian Martin
I sold my old 3ds and some games so I basically got a lite for free. Feelsgood
Ethan Stewart
How do we stop them?
Ethan Allen
>astral chain is just a meek mediocre game >boosted on the back of nintendo's brand You're retarded.
Aiden Green
Sorry, you're thinking of the xbox that comes out with a better model every month. OG ps4 is all you need.
Jaxson Martinez
>2018, 5 years after release ps4 is still best selling console End of 2019 is coming, ready for another microsoft/nintendo failure to beat sony?
Lincoln Baker
And to think astral chain doesn't count digital sales. It's still number 1 on the eshop
Camden Kelly
Except Nier isn't on the Switch but AC is. Like, it;s really more of the case that the game simply appealed to the Switch fanbase and not that Switch owners are suddenly gushing over a game that isn't on the Switch so much they decided to buy a game that plays differently.
Jack Long
The thing is that Nintendo isn't even competing with Playstation or Xbox. Be very scared.
Aaron Cruz
All my friends were white when I was young, in university my best friend is black, all of them comfy, the only one that wasn't was a ginger fucking Irish.
Jaxon Hughes
I meant when compared to prior August numbers. A lot of Switch games selling well means it's selling well on one console as compared to multiplat where it's tallied up from multiple systems.
Jace Allen
The power of no games
Jeremiah Flores
Cyberbulling, Racism, Homophobia, Hacking, etc.
Wyatt Price
Everybody shut the fuck up and look at this monkey.
>10 all year but has only moved around 1 million units for the whole period False lol
Nolan Murphy
>ps4 is still best selling console No it isn't
Samuel Adams
See
Eli Smith
True lol, and it shows you how little being in the top 10 really means, game probably sold 50k units in that period, and will sell maybe if it's lucky another 50k units lifetime, don't expect it to stay in that top 10 this month.
Brandon Sanchez
False tho? Unless you can proved evidence to your claim its false. First time arguing?
He means in the third world. Nintendo is successful with conservative whites and the japanese. SONY is more successful in the Latino/Arab/African spheres.
Caleb Wright
But it was a fucking good game desu
Elijah Ramirez
Ah yes the conservative white sphere that is America and not Europe
Tyler Miller
>good movie FTFY
Josiah Martinez
I give you that.
Dominic Myers
It had it's time, at least Spiderman is still pulling it weight but maybe that's because of the Deluxe edition
Grayson Miller
>conservative Europeans >playing video games >that are not FIFA ???
Dominic Morgan
Then so is Astral Chain retard
Dominic Cook
cope
Owen Robinson
God of War has cinematic black bars, several slow walking scenes and 1/4 of the game is cinematics
Brandon Robinson
>game I prefer player driven narritive
Andrew Lopez
Like what?
Adam Hughes
Wow black bars and the rest is exactly like Astral Chain.
Juan Flores
>has cinematic black bars so did TEW and it was a game >several slow walking scenes games with walking are now cinematic, ok >and 1/4 of the game is cinematics So are 90% of JRPGs
Grayson Evans
Most games that are not cinematic experiences
Jonathan Perez
I keep trying to convince myself to buy a switch because I want a handheld but nuTendo is so shitty and underwhelming. The only thing I genuinely want to play on it is Octopath and even that looks mediocre at this point. Maybe I'll just buy a new PSP or 3DS.
Liam White
>I want a handheld but nuTendo is so shitty and underwhelming. oh fuck off
Jack Lopez
Calling Nintendo a shadow of their former selves would be generous at this point. I'm not even saying it's an issue that's unique to Nintendo, because it definitely isn't. So don't take it so personally that someone doesn't like your favorite corporation.
Oliver King
You can play PSP and 3DS games on mobile.
Brandon Long
Just checked Quantum Break sold 203k in first month of NPD and is in top 10. I double Control sold higher than that.
Christian Thomas
Just look at the sales data, less than 300k units a month worldwide, and that's smash and that's all sales, astral chain probably closer to 50k units, but won't sell more than that in it's next month
Jaxson Hernandez
*doubt Plus it already sold like 70% lower than QB is UK.
Cooper Richardson
Don't, I bought one, biggest gaming mistake I ever made, sure there's some games now but how long will that last, come december the next release is all the way in march, then after that who knows, probably have to wait until December next year for the next game after that.
Colton Thomas
Why the hell would I want to play video games on a cell phone?
Michael Scott
I dont even own a Switch. But saying >nuTendo is so shitty and underwhelming. Fuck the fuck off. You can write an essay all you want and i dont care.
Liam Allen
Okay tendie no need to cry your Lord and Savior isn't going anywhere.
You seem extremely upset by my opinion. I'm sorry you're such a sensitive little faggot who feels personally damaged when someone mildly insults a company that doesn't give a flying fuck about him.
Liam Young
That's simple, Madden always released on August and burgers love it, but this year released on July, so all their debut sales went to July and August was left with the scraps.
Jack White
yeah but everyone at this point already have the fucking game, how are they still in the top 5 like 5-6 years after release.
Dylan Lopez
Not him, you are objectively incorrect. If you don't like the state of nintendo game developement in the present generation then don't pretend that you ever liked them.
Thomas Russell
How were Switch game deals during last year's cyber monday?
Connor Hernandez
I grew up with Nintendo. I the SNES era they were absolutely peerless. You literally could not find higher quality games than a Nintendo release. N64 through GameCube they started to falter but still managed to pump out some of the greatest games ever made. Wii era is when it all went to shit, but there were still some gems here and there. WiiU was literal garbage and Switch is basically a slightly less retarded WiiU. I also owned every Nintendo console up until Switch.
Carter Ramirez
>calls someone insecure >puts forth paragraph worth of "counter"
Everytime.
Landon King
>you replied therefore you're wrong Pretty sure you just got blown the fuck out on that one, user. Nintendo used to be great, now they just pander to retards like you. Deal with it.
Think whatever you like, user. If I were that fragile I'd probably cling to my delusional conspiracy theories too.
Isaac Howard
Literal cult mentality.
Gabriel Howard
>ad hominems At least pretend to have an argument
Mason James
>not recognizing this meme
Ayden Turner
Are you retarded
Ryan Martinez
I already made my argument and your rebuttal was that anyone who has misgivings about modern Nintendo must be lying. That's delusional.
Camden Perry
>23. Control* (5 days tracking) ahahahahahah
Fuck Remedy. Fucking sellout faggots.
Kayden Powell
Ninsects mad.
Bentley Brown
Control was great. Right up there with Alan Wake in my opinion. Definitely better than Quantum Break.
Elijah Morales
Last of US II sales will be amazing
Nathan Mitchell
It was still an incredibly hyped up game that sold like 3 times as much as Platinum's next-bestselling game. Do you not remember Taura being pushed as "the Lead Designer of Nier Automata" during the directs?
Asher Carter
The real issues with the game are shit class/skill balance and the maps being complete garbage, probably because they all have to accommodate those stupid 4 tile monster enemies.
Gavin Brown
It's really, really damn good. Looking forward to the new difficulties coming too.
