They mentioned that 11 games sold above 1 million this FY. (not necessarily Nintendo published)
But only showed 8.
DQXI? Astral chain? Marvel ultimate alliance?

So, nothing on Astral Chain, huh... color me surprised.

Hooray, Nintendo fanbase. Keep on paying $60 for a 1993 Game Boy game.

Gladly, i cant wait to pay $60 for Oracle remakes.

Great numbers, I guess they are waiting until next quarter to adjust up their expectations

Adjustments are in order.

Why? 1'97M on shelves/transit after the big launch of a new model and just before the lauch of a new Pokemon is perfectly fine in my opinion. I don't think adjustments "are in order" at all. 

The sell through number is Oct 19 while shipped is Sep 30 so closer to 3m on shelves/in transit, which still isnt a crazy amount considering reports that they intentionally shipped alot of Lites to beat the tariffs and have enough stock going into the holidays.

If anything it might be adjusted up a few 100k but nothing major.

Here a few comparisons:

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (19.01M)

Is now the 3rd best-selling Mario Kart game (overtook MK 7 LTD 18.47 M)

Sells basically over 1M each quater. Had only one quarter where it sold less which was its 2nd quarter on the market at 820k.

3.6M copies behind MK DS and it should catch up rather soon.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate (15.71M)

Best selling single SKU of the series.

Only 2.96M behind the combined total of Smash 4 (Wii U + 3DS)

Pretty much guaranteed to take the top spot by itself.

Super Mario Odyssey (15.38M)

Ofc already the top selling 3D Mario

Ahead of New Super Mario Bros 2 and only 1.9M behind Super Mario Bros 3

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (14.54M)

Stands on top of the Zelda franchise. Not even OoT combined with OoT 3D can beat it in sales.

Still has strong legs and will get another push right before BotW comes out.

15M is certain, 20M could become a possibility.

Super Mario Party (7.59M)

Is now in the same region as the other 2 big Mario Party titles.

1.29M behind Mario Party 8, 1.72M behind Mario Party DS

Has a good chance at becoming the best-selling entry of the franchise.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses (2.29M)

Already 2nd best seller in the series. Only Fates is ahead and the difference is just 650k.

Super Mario Maker 2 (3.93M)

Less than 100k behind the LTD numbers of the Wii U game.

Needs 3.48M to beat the Wii U and 3DS game combined.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (3.13M)

With only 10 days of sales it's already very close to the top 10 of best selling Zeldas.

Beat Majoras Mask 3D LTD already (3.09M) and is only 700k behind the LTD of the Gameboy original. (The DX version is at 2.22M)

Might want to check your math on the Smash thing.  Nintendo's numbers seem to have Smash 4 combined at 14.91 mil

Smash ultimate shipped another million copies this quarter. It definitely isn’t as front loaded as some were suggesting and I’m excited to see what it will do this holiday.

Ok ok, it makes sense then.

The Switch game is sooooo much better than the GameBoy original.



Signature goes here!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe shipping over 1M this quarter.
BotW also almost hit the 1M (930k)

Links Awakening hits 3M in 10 days.

And hardware is way higher than I expected.

Am I reading the chart wrong? I thought MK8D did 2.3 m and BotW did 1.7m.

Your mathematics are a little off because it has already beaten Smash 4 combined sales which sits at 14.91m ( 9.54m 3ds and 5.37m wii u ). The official sales data is in Nintendo's financial report in the best selling software section.
