Hi everyone, here is the update for the fourth January of the Nintendo Switch. This was a very interesting month.
Key Highlights:
1) NS set a new personal record by selling 28.33M units in the past 12 months.
2) Month Aligned, the NS has outsold every other console in the past 5 months.
3) The gap with the DS increased this month in favor of the DS. It is a very tough battle.
4) The NS had the second highest January Year 4 of all consoles, surpassing the Wii that sold 1.5M
5) NS is 6% higher than what it sold last year, this is incredible as it had 4 weeks this year compared to 5 last year. In those same 4 weeks the NS sold 1.3M in 2020, that is a 27% increase.
6) The DS also had 5 weeks in year 4, in which it sold 1.59M or 4% less than what the NS sold.
7) Adjusting for weeks, the NS sold 59K per day in January on average. Compared to the previous record of 55K set by DS.
8) NS sold 1M in February last year, if it maintains this momentum it should be able to easily surpass that. It will be interesting to see the impact of the new Mario game.
9)The record for Feb year 4 is held by the DS with 1.6M, it should be an interesting race to see if the NS is able to reach that number.
10) The record for most units sold in year 4 is held by DS with 27.9M, the NS needs a little over 0.6M in February to surpass that value.
11) The record for most units sold in any year is held by DS with 28.5M in year 5. The NS needs to sell over 1.2M To achieve that record.
here is a small chart that details how the NS can set new records:
