Where are you getting those numbers for the US and Japan?

I divided the number of Switches sold to the number of households in the U.S & Japan. The U.S has approximately 130 Million Households.

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks.
That's really cool. Wow the Switch is even more of a powerhouse than most people realize (Same goes for the DS & PS2, even though PS2 was used as a DVD player).

So is counting by household a real statistic metric that is used? Just curious, cause I don't know much about the lingo.

Also, when Nintendo announced that they were at the mid-point in the life cycle of the Switch back in Feb of 2022, what did they mean by that? I ask cause it looks like the NG is coming out next year making the Switch lifecycle 7-8 years rather than the 10 years that most people deduced from that quote.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 160 million (was 120 million, then 140 million, then 150 million)

PS5: 130 million (was 124 million)

Xbox Series X/S: 54 million (was 60 million, then 57 million)
