Congrats to Switch's #10 all time spot ! Next week #9
Yeah. But didn't it pass the psp a couple weeks ago? Should be able to pass the gba next week though.
On the site PSP sales are 81.09 million, and there aren't any exact shipments for it elsewhere, the range is 80-82 million if I remember correctly
Yeah, it's slightly behind the GBA afaik.
Gotcha. I thought it was 80 rather than 81. Misremembered.
Switch is gunning for 360 and PS3 now.
Between the end of summer and the holidays.
Eh, I'd say late summer at worst at this point, if the Switch Averages 350K units per week it would wind up being about 18 weeks or so. 18 weeks is about 4 months, which would be July.
87.41 (PS3) - 81.22 (NS) = 6.19
6.19/.35 = 17.68
18 weeks from today would be July 29, but this is 18 weeks from March 13 which would July 17
The Switch sells +400k every week before Monster Hunter, so I don't know why it should have an average of 350k per week
I don't expect it to, I chose a lower number to show how it is unlikely to take till the end of summer, and that even if we lowball the switch it would only take till mid-summer
For some reason I thought they were closer to 90m. And I might as well have said October the way I phrased it. Lol. I was actually thinking more like September. But you're probably right.
Monster Switch
Nah. That's what you should call it the week ending on the 27th.
I think that the switch is currently at 84.1 million because on 12/30/2020 ed were already 79.89 million and this year 4.2 million
Yes, that's true. Actually, in my opinion, VGC may have overestimated the sales of the switch, since Nintendo has their own sellthrough estimates at only (more than) 74 million as of the 4th week of December 2020. Well, we don't know how much more than 74m, but at least that means no more than 75m. Therefore, based on this, plus the 4.2m estimate this year, the sellthrough of NS now should be around 79m, which has not surpassed the 80m milestone.
PS: You can find this data in the nintendo jp official IR page, there is a file "Financial Results Explanatory Material" released at Feb. 1, 2021.
222000 PS5
95000 xsx/s
WTF!
I think they just didn't buy enough manufacturing. Or rather not as much. When they were planning the production, they probably didn't anticipate the production line being all booked up. Normally both companies could have ramped up production by now. There's just no time in the factories available.
Both consoles sell the same like their particular predecessors. It seems that Microsoft missed the chance to do a better start this gen.
Yes, it will be the same as last GEN, PS5 will sell at least 2x more than XBoxX. Here in Europe you can easily find XBoxX on shelves, and not a single PS5, they are selling like hot bread, the stock disapeares in seconds, and they never get to the shelves.
