Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Switch sales surpass one million units in Japan

Depending on which sales tracker you go with, Switch has now surpassed one million units sold in Japan. Media Create has it just under that amount for the week ending June 18, though it’s surely gone past that mark by now. Dengeki also officially says sales are over one million.

Switch took sixteen weeks to reach one million, according to Dengeki’s data. Sales for Wii and Wii U were at 1.85 million and 820,000 units respectively at the same point.

Whilst the 1 million milestone is a good comparison to use, it can still be a bit of an early comp due to various issues.

In this case, Nintendo Switch is severely supply constrained in Japan and is selling out every week. It would have reached the 1 million milestone a few weeks ago.

i agree, Maybe nintendo is expecting the splatoon 2 launch to start sending more consoles to the stores in Japan.

I hope they can ship 150k+ consoles for Splatoon week in Japan...



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

^ Yep theres nothing we can do about the stock issues.

Splatoon should kick things up a bit.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

I think it was for the best that Dragon Quest XI Switch isn't coming this year. With Splatoon coming, I don't even think they'll be able to match demand. Like everyone has been saying, this is a good problem to have but then you also have those who can't get a Switch. I knew something was up when Kimishima dropped manufacturing numbers when Switch was already doing so well. Thanks a lot Apple...
