Hahahaha I'm sorry it's just seeing those words next to those numbers cracked me up, I mean if Wii U had demand like that to sell that well in it's first month we would likely not need the Switch today. It took till June 2013 until the Wii U sold 3 million, that's almost 6 months not first month. Here are the facts your looking for, Wii U shipped 3.06 million by December 31st 2012, so 1 month and half since release. Switch shipped 2.76 million by March 31st 2017, so a little under a month since release. |
It's pretty close though and my reckoning was that something like 6 million Switch's will be sold to their core audience but we have yet to reach that figure because of stock shortages and will the Switch sales level continue at a high level when it has satisified its core audience or will it go on to a wider audience. I'm not a fan of the mk1 Switch I have to say I feel the bulk of Switch sales will be a smaller revised version. I feel the Switch will do very good numbers just not this early version which I feel is more like a Nintendo DS compared to a DS lite. I'm not saying the current Switch will sell poorly but I think sales will be much greater when the Switch is smaller and more portable and at a lower price point.
