Major Switch Titles Launch Aligned - September 2024 Update

[UnderwaterFunktown]

Updated for the September quarter. Thanks to a massive launch in Japan, Splatoon 3 is of to a great start as has been added to the Heavyweights. Time will tell if it has the legs to keep up with the other games there.

Other notes:

• It seems Nintendo adjusted its sales for previous years for Pokémon Sword/Shield up by at least 100k, since it's up by 1.1m compared to the end of last FY, but doesn't appear on the million seller list for the current FY. Rather than trying to spread out those >100k over previous quarters I've decided to just stick with previously reported numbers, resulting in this latest quarter appearing larger than it probably was (but total sales are still accurate).
• Pokémon Legends Arceus is gaining ground on Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, which seem fairly dead in the water, shipping only 270k over the last 2 quarters.
• Nintendo Switch Sports seems to be keeping the same pace as Luigi's Mansion 3 for now. It will be interesting to see how it performs in the Holiday.
