 Hey everyone welcome back to the internet prime Yeah, we got a cool giveaway going on for a $99 e-shop gift card head on to the description or the pinned comment to Find out how to enter. I simplified it this time around. We'll see if I keep doing that because using these like giveaway Places that help simplify things for you guys Cost me a decent chunk of money that I could literally be putting towards the giveaways So we'll see if I use it beyond this month. However, let's get into the news piece because hey look the Nintendo switch is killing it I think we all know it's been killing it. It destroyed 2020 best sales year ever Nintendo I think is even under projecting what they're gonna sell They think it's gonna be 26 million total at the end of their fiscal year March 31st If the NPD is anything to go by for the month of January Nintendo is completely underselling The momentum of this platform because I remember in the month of January There really wasn't like a big game to push sales, right? With that there was not this big release Like we have today in February with you know Super Mario 3d world plus Bowser's fury Monster Hunter rise next month Pokemon snap the month after that So we have three straight months here with some my major releases that are just gonna skyrocket switch sales even more but January didn't and yet This Happened so as you see here I'm running into all this switch just recorded the strongest January sales of any games console since the Wii in 2010 This is any of them doesn't matter if it's PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Xbox series 1x 360 it doesn't matter you want to throw out the Neo Geo even though that was before 2010 the point is that Nothing has outsold what the switch has done since literally the end of the peak years Right, January of 2010 was roughly the end of the peak years of Wii so it's not quite to the peak right the switch hasn't ascended to the peak January But there has been nothing in over a decade That is sold better Hardware wise in January than the switch right now, so This obviously comes from Matt Piskatella It says just in case there's any doubt the switch is still doing the absolute Business when it comes to sales Nintendo's hybrid machine sold better than its industry rivals to be the best-selling system across US in January Not content was simply outselling the PlayStation 5 next with series X switch actually sold more units in the US last month That any games console has managed since the Wii back in 2010 So Matt Piskatella's a saint sales of video game hardware were up 144% higher than January of 2020 reaching 319 million dollars. This is the highest total for a January month since 323 million achieved in January of 2011 the Nintendo switch was actually the best-selling hardware platform in units sold So not dollar sales Units sold for the month of January unit sales of Nintendo switch We're the highest of any platform in January month since the Nintendo Wii in January of 2010 Yeah, and here we get to some of the top top 20 sellers So we'll just open this up directly here and here's the top 20 games notable Nintendo games do not include digital sales. That's what the asterix all mean by the Nintendo games You see Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War at number one Assassin's Creed Valhalla at number two Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales at number three Madden at number four and then Animal Crossing New Horizons at number five again. How high would Animal Crossing New Horizons be if digital sales were included? Number six is minecart eight deluxe again How high would it be with digital sales ring fit adventure at number seven? No digital sales for that because you have to have the accessory At number eight. We have Call of Duty Modern Morpher really interesting to see two Call of Duty games in the top 10 for January Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at number nine and then NBA 2k 21 at number 10 With an asterix of obfusc and digital sales that included obviously We know switch digital sales for sure aren't included in that because that game is on switch Number 11 is where you still see Super Mario 3d all stars having a strong showing probably top 10 if if we're honest If they included digital sales, maybe a bumps Call of Duty out or something like that But it just keeps going and going and going you'll see in the top 20 other games like Breath of the Wild Super Mario Party as well immortal Phoenix Rising glad to see that make an appearance And some other games as well some more general games of Minecraft and just dance and cyberpunk still there big drop-off Or cyberpunk 2 is number two in December all the way down to number 18 Talk about a game just falling off the face of the earth UFC 4 chime in at that last spot for electronic arts. So I just find all of this to be wholly fascinating that it is 2021 Obviously, we're still dealing with a pandemic and yet the switch and Nintendo is still in the same position It was a decade ago and that is on top of the world Nintendo 10 years later. I mean think about it I'm 34. So when I was 24 years old, which by the way was just before I met my fiance, right? So I hadn't even met her yet. Okay, cuz I met her. I think oh two weeks after my birthday. I Met her so I was 25 So when I was 24 the Jan like the January of that year that I was 24 Holy crap Nintendo was on top back then and now here. I am a decade later and Nintendo is back on top yet again Nintendo did obviously has been number one MPD for a while They were number one in MPD last January as well, and it's like 20 or 21 straight months or something like that So Nintendo has a long street going but to be on top in this fashion not just you know, okay It's the best-selling platform now Historically great selling. I mean Are we talking that Nintendo might have undersold how well the switch is gonna sell? Maybe they're gonna hit 30 million Passed, you know hit 30 million You know just blow past their current projections for sales after all we don't have Monster Hunter Rise the switch Keep selling the game busters in Japan, and we know it's gonna sell you like crazy one monster to rise and rise new Pokemon snap I think there's a little tepid there not not really knowing how popular that's games gonna be It was a niche game back in the day. Is it gonna be big today? I'm picking it up I presume a lot of other people that played it are gonna pick it up I don't know how big the audience is for that I guess we're about to see like if a game all about taking pictures of Pokemon is going to be able to survive In this climate like it could back in the day when it was a more unique concept now It's coming back as new Pokemon snap I I think that the switch is set up for a massive start to this year obviously the rest of us are just wondering what's next Because we understand Monster Hunter Rise is a big deal We understand today Super Mario 3d world was Bowser's Fury big deal for Nintendo anyways We obviously know that new Pokemon snap for some people it's gonna be a big deal But what's next you know we have Zelda's 25th anniversary here in nine days, right? 35th does it 25th 35th anniversary in nine days, so we know that's coming up We know that Nintendo's likely gonna do something for that because they celebrated the 20th the 25th and the 30th for Zelda So they're probably gonna celebrate the 35th anniversary in some way They've done collections of stuff in the past we speculated over all of that was trademarks being filed For the Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass happening Australia makes you wonder if they're gonna come back Obviously the Wind Waker HD exists on Wii U hasn't imported yet We presume that and Twilight Princess HD are gonna make its way to switch probably this year Breath of the Wild 2 is in development. We just had Age of Calamity last year So like there's Zelda stuff happening could there be more Mario stuff happening We haven't really had a new mainline Mario game since Mario Odyssey 2 or Super Mario Odyssey I'm sorry back in 2017 is it time to get another one of those even though we just got the 3d world port I don't know. There's a lot of stuff that could be happening right now a new F-Zero game What's up with Metroid Prime 4 banned out of three like we have a lot of unknowns for this year But what is known is unlike last year which by the way last year Nintendo killed it because they had animal crossing But sans animal crossing Nintendo had kind of an okay start to the year right Tokyo Mara sessions So you know big chronicles definitive edition and then the pinnacle game in this this year is gonna be a stronger start You're starting with Mario now. I don't know about anything hitting the peak of animal crossing But you're starting with Mario off already having strong sales And then you're leading into monster hunter rise an exclusive monster hunter game. It's gonna be fantastic Looks great. The demo was awesome. And then you get into a Pokemon something I honestly think the start of this year is gonna be even bigger than last year that included animal crossing So Nintendo's off to a fire start this year.
