Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Prediction Time : Switch numbers in Japan during Pokemon Switch launch

kirby007 on 09 March 2018

I got hyped by the Smash teaser ofc, and was thinking that the switch will get a nice hardware boost during that week and will be obviously supply constrained.
Just imagine the boost Pokemon will give, i might see the Switch selling 500k that week in Japan only and the supply constraint afterwards will last for atleast a year.

Personally I see between 200,000 and 300,000. I think it would be hard to supply that many switches that week around the world.

They better get the supply ready now! Sell it only in a bundle with a Switch and it'll still sell out :D

Without checking previous DS or 3DS numbers 400k

If it releases out of the holidays: 400k
If it releases on holidays: 1m

It’s all a matter of supply.



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

Half a million. I'm pretty sure Nintendo will be ready with tons of units to avoid droughts there. They better be.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Well I assume when this thread was made it was under the assumption of a true mainline title for gen 8.
