The Switch outsold the Xbox 360 in the US in November. I've gone and adjusted our Xbox 360 estimates (and PS3 estimates) in the US, so the Switch is now ahead of it in the US. There was recent data that showed NPD/Circana adjusted their US figures for the 7th generation down (~2% for the X360 and ~0.75% for the PS3). I did them through the available date, but didn't go beyond that. Lifetime Xbox 360 and PS3 sales remain the same as before. So what I adjusted down in the US I adjusted up in RoW. So this does mean one final month of the Switch vs Xbox 360 in the US comparison. I will probably replace it with Switch vs DS in the US. Though the Switch is 10.84M away from outselling the DS in the US. Sadly we don't have PS2 figures. |
Wow, this is a pretty big milestone for the Switch. That's awesome!
This is the part of the Switch's lifecycle that I have been waiting years for. I knew it was going to be a huge seller, and now I am finally getting to see it pass major milestones. It has outsold both the Wii and XBox 360 in the US. Sometime next year it will surpass both the Gameboy and DS in Japan. I also think it will outsell the PS2 in the US, but that will take another 2-3 years for that to happen. There is going to be a good wait on that. Passing the DS in the US is possible but unlikely.
Some of this depends on how NoA handles the tail end of the Switch. They have plenty of room for attractive bundles and price cuts if they want to go that route. I personally think that is a good route, since they seem like they are trying to expand their Nintendo Online business. In order to do that they are going to want as large of an install base as possible. They may take another strategy though. We'll see.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
