Nintendo Switch Console Sales Reach 19.67 Million Units Worldwide

I bet you money when Super Nintendo World opens at Universal Studios Japan (and ultimately, the parks in Hollywood and Orlando), they'll probably include charging stations for those who plan on bringing their Switch with them.

Oh god, that would be so risky. I would not have my console or handheld with me at an amusement park in any shape or form, way too many opportunities for it to be stolen.

Or broken. I can picture someone riding a coaster with their Switch.

Nintendo Switch is an awesome console. The fact that you can play that thing at home and on the go is the best of both worlds, it's like the home console meets Game Boy almost.

I mean its a success, but not a big one. Why do they keep comparing it to the Wii U which is probably the worst selling console of all time, or forget to mention the fact that its technically in the same generation as the ps5 and xbox two or whatever they will call it, yet hardware wise its outclassed by a previous generation of hardware in the xbox one x and ps4 pro, hell even the none upgraded version regular ps4 and xbox one out class it. And the majority of its great games are just wii u games, repackaged on the switch.

The whole concept like everything nintendo does is half hearted and ultimately poor, but someone how tossing mario and zelda on it and and people ignore everything else. I mean here is an idea why dont you buy a 3ds and a ps4 or xbox. You will have a specialized console and hand held both of which are light years ahead of what the switch can do, why just because you want it all in one place. Haven't people learned from crap like Apple, dumbed down and overpriced hardware because people are too ignorant to multi task?

Reminds me of whats happening in Europe where 8 oz cans cost more than 12 oz cans for coke, because people are too lazy to limit their soda intake themselves, so they are more than willing to pay more for a smaller size to have someone smack them with a paper newspaper because they can't do anything themselves.

I know Ill get a reprimand for this post, because people like to get offended when someone points out the harsh truth to themselves, but I dont really care.

I know Nintendo tried a home console you can take with you before with the GameCube,

The Switch is actually quite awesome (the regression to friend codes and the upcoming paid online service aside). I just wish it would get some more games to call its own. SSB Ultimate comes out later this year, and Pokemon will be coming in late 2019, but it's been a long wait for me aside from Odyssey.
