also about Switch,

That makes Switch the fastest-selling video game system in Nintendo history, and one of the fastest-selling video game systems of all time. Nintendo notes that this sales surge was accomplished in a non-traditional month for a console launch.

Maybe some people who couldn't find a Switch at launch wanted the Prime/GCU savings?

Nintendo chalks it up to people buying LEs to collect and standard copies to play

Deserving of a top 10 game of all time

I take it someone will make a general NPD topic later but in the meantime I'll post

keeping in mind Switch is a March release (like 3DS)

I know people that had CE's delayed for whatever reason and ended up buying a regular copy on launch day.

No joke, I met a guy who had a Switch but not Zelda.

Me: (discussing videogames) So do you have a switch?
Him: Yeah I got one around launch.
Me: That's awesome, how's Zelda.
Him: I don't know, never been a fan of Zelda
Me: ...Why did you buy it?
Him: I saw it so I thought I should buy it.

Yeah, I definitely went a little nuts on the Zelda hype and did that. I had held out hoping more Master Sword editions would be made available to preorder and ended up having to get a ship-to-home special edition that wouldn't get here til UPS could come by, which given usual Friday delivery times wouldn't happen til 4 pm for my place. Which, fuck waiting til 4 pm on my day off when I'm working the next six days. So, I ended up digitally downloading it overnight so I could start playing when I woke up at 7. Naturally, I placed my Switch in the worst spot in my room for wifi so I had to wait until 8 to play, and then UPS made its earliest-ever delivery to my place at 11 am just to ensure I felt silly.

But those extra 3 hours! Only 20 bucks an hour. A bargain imho

also keeping in mind though most consoles are released late in the month (3DS 3/24, Wii 11/19, U 11/18, PS3 11/11, PS4 11/15, xbone 11/22) while switch was released at the very start, (3/3)

so this is probably better
