@UnderwaterFunktown I wouldn't be surprised if shipments are around 18 million for the quarter. Slightly below Pokemon but it is worth noting that this is not a holiday season. Maybe it will anyways. Who knows? I was expecting TOTK to do around 8 million in its first 3 days but it ended up nearly matching Pokemon anyways.
@Kakadu18 I went back and looked on Nintendo's IR website and did find the FY where Wii Sports sold 24.15 million units! https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2009/090508e.pdf (Page 6)
That being said, SV, still holds this record for Switch games and Pokemon games. It also holds the record as the highest debut fiscal year for a Nintendo game. You are right about ACNH. Would've been over 30 million, which would be crazy. TOTK almost certainly will take the crown away from SV though considering it has from May 12, 2023 to March 31, 2024. I'm expecting TOTK to be around 25 million by then, surpassing Wii Sports as well (making it the highest debut fiscal year and the highest fiscal year amount overall!).
