Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo set to sell 700M consoles.

 

Since the launch of Super Mario Bros in 1985, Nintendo have sold an average of 22.45M portable and home consoles a year and are about to hit the 700M milestone. 3.83M to go.

With a combined total of all consoles standing at 1409M, could Nintendo cross the 50% mark with the release of the Switch?

What about the 50% mark? Only if they have the 'holy trinity', imo.

they will! a day after my prediction eurogamer exposed the truth, full circle!



The NES mini will help it hit that milestone ;)

But the Switch definitely will sell at least 4M so will happen sooner or later!

That's certainly worth noting.

Wii Sports sold 14M more copies than the Wiis sold??? Wait! What?



700M consoles is quite the achievement. Wii U is by far there worst selling consoles but I have good feelings about how well the Switch will be received. It's seems to have gone down well with the general public.

That's what those letters meant above the number then. So ~14M copies sold of WSR to Wii owners who got WS free with their consoles plus copies of WS to owners who bought a Wii with WSR. Still seems high! Impressive if it did manage to sell that amount without giving it away. (Did WSR come with Wii Remote Plus?)
