Switch Expected to Outsell Wii U’s Lifetime Total by 2018
Nintendo projects Switch will sell 14 million units by the end of March 2018, which would surpass Wii U's lifetime sales total of 13.56 million units.
The company's updated forecast, released as part of its most recent financial report, shows Nintendo expects to nearly double Switch's current sales total of 7.63 million units in the next six months. (Note: This latest Switch figure doesn't account for October sales.)
Following strong hardware sales throughout 2017—the console has topped the NPD charts in four of the six months of its availability—Nintendo's new estimate for Switch is up 40 percent from its previous forecast of 10 million units sold by next March.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sales Pass 4.7 Million on Switch
Worldwide sales of the Nintendo Switch version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have reached 4.7 million units.
According sales data from Nintendo, this figure was reached as of September 30, 2017. It's worth emphasizing that this is just the Switch version of the game, and doesn't take into account sales of the Wii U version.
For a look at the top-selling Nintendo Switch titles, check out the list below:
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 4.70 million units

The Walking Dead: Who is the Old Familiar Face Rick Met?
Warning: Full spoilers for the twist from the end of the most recent Walking Dead, "The Damned."
With The Walking Dead's 100th episode, "Mercy," paying subtle tribute to the first episode of the series, "Days Gone Bye," it's no surprise that this week's episode pulled from Season 1 as well. It was a shocking wayback twist that brought Juan Gabriel Pareja's Morales back to the show for the first time since leaving everyone behind in the first season's penultimate episode, "Wildfire."
Morales, for those who need a refresher, was one of the original cast members of the show. He, along with wife Miranda and children Eliza and Louis, were a part of the Atlanta-adjacent survivor group that included Lori, Shane, Carl, the Dixon brothers, Carol and her family, Dale, Andrea, and Amy.
James Gunn Sick of The Fighting Over BvS
Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has had enough of people arguing about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
In a Twitter thread, Gunn pointed out that every time he mentions DC his timeline inevitably fills up with people getting into heated arguments over the divisive film.
"Every time I mention anything DC, no matter what, my feed becomes an endless screaming match about BvS," Gunn said. "You guys are never going to convince each other - it’s just a bunch of wasted energy. At least when you’re screaming at each other about Trump, it’s something of international importance. But it’s a 2 year old movie that some people like and some people don’t. Why is someone else’s opinion so important to you. As Marvel and DC super fans you have way more in common with each other than you do with the rest of the world. So why do you spend so much time raging at each other? It’s silly. Please just stop it. Stop engaging in that way.
