The Nintendo Switch continues to outsell the competition, even with limited availability in stores. Since the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo has managed to sell even more consoles, and nearly doubled last weeks numbers.
It's a 2-for-1 on this week's chart, as the Golden Week holiday period takes Stellar Blade to the top spot, as well as some impressive Switch sales figures
Hardware Sales (followed by lifetime sales)
Switch OLED Model – 72,592 (7,195,696)
PlayStation 5 – 43,033 (4,808,908)
Switch Lite – 16,247 (5,833,845)
Switch – 11,199 (19,786,390)
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 6,501 (767,403)
Xbox Series X – 2,982 (271,121)
Xbox Series S – 2,353 (310,852)
PlayStation 4 – 202 (7,925,781)
Stellar Blade selling well it's great, hopefully we get a sequel or s franchise out of it!
Video Game soundtracks are an essential part of the game, setting the tone, warning you of impending danger, or for some of us, useful background music whilst studying or working on projects.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
74,217 in comparison to 48,694 is a really good sales figure. But even Wii U sales spiked when the console received a certain hot Nintendo property.
Let's talk sales figures again when the Switch's honeymoon period is over, and when all the AAA publishers start releasing their games around Xmas. Because I'm pretty sure the likes of Assassins Creed, FIFA, and COD (which won't be having their best versions on Switch) are going to absolutely annihilate anything by Nintendo. Pokemon and Mario included...

Yep, Pokemon is no where near the Top 10.

"Still gonna sell like hotcakes and japan is gonna sell like 70,000 Switch units that week. LOL"
and tell me N4G was I wrong?
Just got myself a Switch today. Didn't have much time with it other than to set it up and get a race of Mario Kart in. Nice machine though. One thing that I thought was a really nice touch was the Switch sound playing when you click the joy pads in. I'll likely just use it as a portable.
Outselling the competition?
I doubt it.
Doubled... compared to last week... really?
