| Bofferbrauer2 said: I wouldn't be so sure of that It depends on how well the Switch is selling this holiday season and how high the weekly sales will be after that. We know about US and Japan already, what's missing is Europe and ROW - we will know about those probably more with Nintendo's investors meeting at the end of this month. About the sales in January and February, we will have to wait for the data to come in, but I'm sure it will be higher than in the april-july period where the Switch was heavily supply constrained. If the Switch sells about 12.5M this holiday season and middling 250k a week after that, the Switch would be at 14.5M, around the same as the Wii, 3DS and PS4 managed to achieve in their first 52 weeks So in other words, Switch would possibly lead for a month or 2 |
Are kidding me ? 3DS had sold a total of 9.5M units week ending December 10th 2011 according to VGC while Switch at just over 10M units as of December 10th 2017 according to Nintendo themselves. It means every week since the beginning of December the 3DS has started closing the gap with the Switch and not even the 3DS managed an average of 250K units per week during the quarter after the holiday ...
Also the 3DS started outselling the Switch every month WW according to VGC's figures since it's price cut barring October for obvious reason(s) ...
