The Watch My Wifes Sister 5 OnlineSwitch is Nintendo achieving (Mario) Galaxy Brain.
In the 12 months since Nintendo's latest gaming machine launched, it's ended up in more American homes than any other console to date over the same period. That's a massive win, in case it's not clear. (Even if it still lacks the ability to back up your save data.)
SEE ALSO: Here are the 17 indie games Nintendo just announced will come the Switch this yearThere's technically no official sales reporting in the games industry outside of quarterly corporate releases. The broken record is noted in a U.S. video game sales report for Feb. 2018 from The NPD Group, a top market research firm.
This may be new information, but it shouldn't come as a surprise for anyone who's been paying attention. Nintendo even said back in January that Switch was the fastest-selling console ever in the U.S. after 10 months, with 4.8 million units sold.
There's no one factor responsible for all the success, though software in general has a lot to do with it. A barrier-breaking new Zelda game launched alongside the console on March 3, 2017, and several other big Nintendo exclusives followed throughout the year: Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, and (in partnership with Ubisoft) Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
Zelda, Odyssey, and Mario Kartare still huge, too. The NPD Group report also notes that those three titles rank 5th, 9th, and 10th, respectively, among the most sold games in the U.S. over the past 12 months. That's a bigger presence than any other publisher on the list.
(Sidenote: Grand Theft Auto Vfalls just behind Zeldaat 6th on the list. That's incredible for a game first released in 2013. It would probably never work on a Switch, but we can always dream.)
On top of that, the Switch has also seen an uncommon amount of support (for Nintendo) from third-party developers and publishers. Blockbuster games like Minecraft, Doom, Wolfenstein, Skyrim, Dark Souls, and others are either out or coming soon. Those are joined by an ever-growing deluge of popular indies like Stardew Valleyand Rocket League.
All of it is coming at a pace that is unheard for a new console in its first year of release. There were times in 2017 when it felt like Nintendo was announcing surprising additions to its imminent release calendar on a weekly basis.
Then there's the hardware itself. The Switch addresses a "need" in the industry, offering gamers a hybrid living room/handheld console that lets them enjoy barely compromised blockbuster experiences on the go or at home. There's never been anything quite like it; only Nintendo's Wii U comes close, and is likely the reason Switch exists at all.
Great news for Nintendo and Nintendo fans. Now seriously, about that save data....
