Total hardware dollar sales were the second highest total achieved since the $239 million reached in January 2014. Nintendo Switch was the best-selling hardware platform of January 2019 in both dollar and unit sales. Switch was the only Console platform to show year-on-year sales growth. Total spending on Accessories and Game Cards fell 12 percent in January 2019 when compared to a year ago, to $267 million. Slight gains in Gamepad spending were offset by declines across other accessory segments and game cards. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller was January's best-selling accessory with dollar sales increasing 40 percent when compared to a year ago.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I legit have no excitement for the next gen. The days of big leaps are over. This gen didn't really feel all that different from the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Yeah maybe it’s because I finally built a gaming PC this gen, but I would actually be annoyed if Sony / MS do come out with new hardware soon. Maybe annoyed is the wrong word, apathetic I guess. The Switch is killin it though, and it’s looking like it’ll have the best 2019 from the big 3.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Sony was great in 2018, but Nintendo is looking better for 2019. I'm getting Days Gone, but I dunno much else I'm getting for the system this year. I'm still up in the air on whether I'm gonna get the Crash Team Racing remake on PS4 or Switch.
