67 proud Xbone owners, jeez Microsoft leave some sales for the other companies too!

Damn. The Switch is just steamrolling right along.

Oh I wish we had a price cut...

Switch is going on strong

Also really like this DQ design that will be releasing in September in Japan

What gave Playstation its current bump, and why is Switch low? Surely the Pokemans should be keeping things up. Especially with the chart being dominated by Nintendo software.

X1X outsold the Vita.

The land of the Rising Sun is starting to realize that power of the X

@xhawk27: You might want to check your math again.

Xbox One X – 224

PS Vita – 139

Xbox One S – 117

@xhawk27: Oh, didn't see the different weeks. X1X coming for Japan.

Maybe because of Days of Play sales week from Sony?

The sure do need a price cut.

9 of the top 10 games are for Switch! Crazy!

I thought Nintendo was working on 2 models? 1-Switch Pro & 2-handheld mode only cheaper version.

Living in the past I see.

Dat top 10

They are starting to get better with their special editions... Do you think there will be a Zelda Switch (Plus/Pro) SE?

Oh gawd, I sure hope so!

The 67 was just so groundbreaking I had to point it out :P.

That being said, I'm glad to see it at 117. If I had a penny for every Xbone sale, I might be able to afford a small smoothie :O.

Sorry I ruined your joke, nah i'm not sorry. Maybe comprehend what you're reading on screen before you rush in to try and be funny and we won't be laughing AT you instead lol.

@freedom01: aw I want the slime controllers!

As I said, I knew it was last weeks, I was just making fun of it regardless. Something tells me that doesn't matter and you already convinced yourself that you're right.

I think you have a lot of pent up aggression that partially stems from your inability to play any noteworthy exclusives besides Forza. There are healthier ways to express that, maybe take up yoga :).

Meanwhile, you pick on the Xbox One after the Switch surpassed the PS4 in Japan in a short amount of time. Salty much? LOL

Why would I get salty about a console succeeding? It's good for the industry. Silly fire emblem man!

Console wars are for children, real men game on PC.

Not sure if they should do a price drop or show these SKUs cause doing both will hurt 1 of them for sure.

@xantufrog: there is this slime controller also (the top one)

A price drop will eventually happen, as for the Switch "Pro" that's remain to be seen. All I know is that Nintendo really wants to market the Switch to 3DS gamers. That will give the Switch a price drop, hopefully $100 down to $199.99 w/Pokemon Sword or Shield bundled.

That's a lot of butthurt coming from you. Like I said you were in such a hurry to make a laugh, but it turned out we were laughing at YOU lol.

As for the last part, well there you go again trying to be funny and we're just laughing at you again as Forza is not exclusive, but not being exclusive doesn't make it any less of a great game.

Man you are batting at 0 today, you should take your own advice and take up yoga as you're very frustrated atm :(

@i_p_daily: Too predictable, IP. You need new material that goes beyond schoolyard bully tactics. I'm afraid you're well past your glory years :P.

I thought you lems were fans of the console exclusives term. Apparently Forza is/isn't an exclusive whenever it suits your convenience lol.

Well it's already a 3DS, an overpirced one. Not that many use it as a console as far as i can see, so it should be cheaper or at least have a cheaper model.

The past? The Xbone failing is a very, very current thing.

Yet it has more games and support than the PSVita ever had, LOL!

I guess I'm one of the not many.

That would be really nice, might be possible for BotW2.

School yard bullies tactics lol, man you're losing it over your haste to try and make funny comments, and you did, but the laugh is on you. Also go find 1 quote of me saying Forza is exclusive, just 1 quote, shouldn't be too hard for you.

Now we wait...…………………...

@i_p_daily: Do you never get bored of this? It's usually the same old "we're laughing at you" or "you're so mad now" or "butthurt cow lol". Every exchange I have with you just tends to turn into these same comments I see you do with others. I don't mean this in a bad way, I'm just wondering what you get out of doing this so often. It seems like you just come here to mock people and try to convince them that they're angry lol.

Maybe you don't use the term console exclusive, it's just something silly I've seen other lems do. I couldn't be bothered to dig through your history nor does it even really matter since it was just childish and playful teasing on my part.

switch always sells 35k. thats the norm. switch had a very long holiday this year it seems.

playstation selling 29k is odd. its usually 20k

Damn, Switch outselling everything else combined. I don't think Nintendo "needs" to do anything to the price, not yet anyway.

Why? Are they running out of storage for money?

Pokémon is out this year. They do not even close to need a price cut.

@XVision84: Ah the back down which confirms your defeat :(

Better luck next time :)

@FireEmblem_Man: Don't mind vision as he claims to be a hermit and yet all he has been doing this year is hype The Last of Us 2's release date.

I can't remember him hyping a PC game, and he makes anti Nintendo/Microsoft threads but not 1 anti Sony thread, the proof seems to point to another cow hiding behind PC lol.

@i_p_daily: I guess that answers my question lol. I've also been hyping Cyberpunk and denouncing the Epic games store. The game on my sig/avi isn't even on PS4.

For real dude, I'm sure you're an interesting lad and can offer up more to discussions than the same old responses :)
