We should also note that Switch’s year-to-date dollar sales remain the highest of any hardware platform in US history. Wii set the previous high in the year-to-date period ending May 2008.

Gods & Monsters dev build leaks, first early footage emerges
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
At E3 2019, Ubisoft revealed Gods & Monsters. The open-world action-adventure game, which has drawn a few comparisons to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is currently experiencing extended development after being delayed well beyond its planned February 2020 launch. It’s been a year since the original announcement and we’ve yet to see much of the project, but a new leak has given us a look at the title in action.
Today’s leak came about in a very unexpected way. It appears that an early development build briefly appeared on Google Stadia and a few users were actually able to get their hands on it. Clips show a big world to explore, a stamina meter like Breath of the Wild, combat, and more. However, it should be stressed that since this is a dev build, not all assets/elements are final, and there will be changes for the final release.
