Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Switch Sales -- April 2017

 

How many sold by month's end?

4M+ 40 22.47%
 
3.5 - 3.9M 51 28.65%
 
3.0 - 3.4M 47 26.40%
 
2.5 - 2.9M 23 12.92%
 
>2.5M (March numbers were inflated) 17 9.55%
 
Total:178

I'm at a bit of a loss when trying to predict how many units Switch will be be able to move in its second month. March was an inpressive start, but can that sort of momentum be maintained. My thought is that numbers will obviously drop off from launch, but the Switch has continually sold through shipments here in the States. 

Am I crazy for thinking that the Switch could move an additional million units worldwide by the end of April? Will Nintendo even be able to ship that many? 

My hopes (and soft projection): 3.4-3.6M WWTD by 05-01-2016

3-3.4 million. MK will effect May more so than April.



Have they produced and shipped enough to even have a spike for MK8?

Almost seems like MK8 should have been a late May release... it was the only game I remember actually moving some Wii U units (I got a MK8 bundle myself).



around 3.5.

Mario Kart will have an effect, but it will be more on May.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I'd say around 3.8M

Hopefully there is a large restock next week, one would assume so with Mario Kart.



that MK8 launch is going to effect May really not April I think.

also predicted 4m+ because 10million wasn't an option, maybe it'll beat the Wiiu total sales by the end of the month, I'll get back to huffing my Zelda and glue now.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Four million by months end would be bonkers. I say 2.8 million by end of April.



It will have sold as much as they shipped, more (or rather slightly less, obviously).



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

you may want to go over those numbers again.

estimates put it close to 2.4 million at the end of March.

that would only be like 400k for the entire month of April.

Japan alone has sold 85k in the first 2 weeks of April, adding in the next 2 weeks (one of which includes Mario Kart) should put it close to 200k.

I have really hard time seeing Japan making up about 50% of April sales when it only made up around 25% of March sales.
