I remember people were "dunking" on nintendo saying shit like nightreign outsold mario kart, and like, even if its true, lmao it has like a 95% attach rate?
I wonder why Nintendo isn't raising their forecast of Switch 2 numbers for this fiscal year. Considering how quick the start was and how well it continues to sell, 15M until end of March sounds like a big lowball to me.
Maybe they want to have more data than just a month and scraps to see if sales stay high before adjusting, or they have some production bottlenecks, but with 6M sold through in 7 weeks it should reach higher than "just" 15M
I think Nintendo is cautious because last year they missed all their forecasts, so they will probably only adjust their forecast upwards when they are 100 % confident in selling more than their forecast this year.
They are probably cautious about possible price adjustments due the tariffs
It's just Q1. Companies typically don't make forcast adjustments till Q2 or Q3. I'm certain Switch 2 will do at least 18 million and Switch I believe will do at least 5 million.
You think so? I don't want to be a hater and I'm personally a happy owner of a Switch 2, but I do start to wonder where the continued momentum is supposed to come from. Pokémon is a big game, sure, but it is not a mainline game and it is also on Switch 1. 🤔
There are other cool titles coming up, but I have a hard time imagine that these are titles where a lot of people will say "I need to get a Switch 2 for this!"
About what I expected. It is weird though that the Wikipedia article is using the shipment figure for the switch 2 rather than the sell-through figure as the sell-through figure is not only newer but is higher than the shipment figure. And since shipments are usually greater than sell-through, the written figure should be >6000000 rather than >5820000. I don’t have a proper Wikipedia account but if any of you guys do, fixing that issue would be greatly appreciated.
maybe the switch2 will pass the wii u at holiday time
Switch era was such a healthy era for Nintendo. I'm glad it is looking like their trust put into their employees, letting their creativity flow and not pushing for crunch and cuts is paying off and hopefully will continue with the success of the Switch 2
that’s crazy! Over 11mil NS2 units in just under two months? Wow.
I expect lifetime switch 1 figures to be:
Hardware: 158 - 160 million units
Software: >1.7 billion units (due to backwards compatibility, the software lifespan will be extended).
Switch 2 fiscal year estimation:
Hardware: 18 - 22 million units
Software: approx. 50 - 70 million units.
