And this is from VG Chartz, they always undertrack sales.

Usually the opposite. They have the Xbox One like 5m over for instance. Still great numbers didn't expect Kirby to push numbers like these. Better than Forza 7 lol

Not when it comes to software. They have Xenoblade at 960k but it is actually at 1.36 million, but no, you gotta remember. They count South America and other regions on hardware. But, since MS won't release actual numbers, it is almost impossible to actually know.

That's one game. I've always seen them as over tracking. Regardless fantastic numbers for Kirby I'm picking it up this week for my son who LOVES THE demo and can beat the demo. And he's only 3!! Reviews are solid as well

[michellelynn0976]

Wait. Xeno overtracking? Nintendo's official numbers have it at 1.36 million. Not 960,000.

[Sm00thNinja]

Yeah we're not on the same page. I meant that's one example. I've always followed VGCharts over tracking everything. Nice numbers for Kirby but possibly inflated. I'll wait for official numbers from Ninty

Kids love it

Yeah. People with all ages can enjoy the Switch.

By the way, that is a very great number for Kirby.
