Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Switch Sells 10 Million Units Worldwide

the switch is only close to ps4 at the moment because it got a launch boost, and a post holiday launch which tend to sell double the amount of a regular holiday launch.

Nintendo really killed it this year, fantastic sales and fully deserved. It's honestly amazing looking at the Switch's entire first year and what it has. 

Super Mario Odyssey 

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (both this and Mario are already game of the generation titles as well)

ARMS

Splatoon 2

Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Fire Emblem Warriors

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 

and so many more, including some exclusive third party games like Super Bomberman R and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle 

It's really exciting to see how 2018 goes, just gotta wait for that January direct that is hopefully real lol

Well, even if that is true, I don't see the need to downplay the Switch's sales, because eventually it'd go under the PS4.

Not the best news since this indicates that the Switch is on track to do 3DS numbers for it's first year despite the Switch holding a noticeable lead early on but the performance of the Switch is OK so far ...

Remember that 3DS needed a big price cut in its first year to achieve those numbers.  No such cut needed for Switch.

remember this is nintendo next consoles and handheld, with nintendo's biggest guns coming out the first year.



I can only imagine what'll happen Pokemon hits.



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

I think pokemon will offer a nice boost, but 2d mario, and smash with have very little effect. i think most nintendo fans have bought one by now, i don't think many can resist mario 64 sequel, most hyped zelda ever, mario kart, and splatoon ( japan only) sales will slow down next year for sure imo.

sales are great so far, just pointing out why it's close to ps4.

So, will Nintendo be able to ship enough consoles this december to reach the 13m of the WiiU?

The 10 mill. are sold and not shipped. 



Very impressive

On track to beating Wii U before its 1 year anniversary
