Nintendo Quarterly Sales Update: Switch at 139.36m shipped

[Mar1217]

Great quarterly sales for every type of Mario content you could say.

A nice launch for Super Mario RPG which is already over it's predecessor by double. It's probably gonna finish up it's run around 4M-5M I think. Mario RPGs have a market so I'm quite confident for the Paper Mario TTYD Remake.

Super Mario Wonder had the Holiday boost that most would've expected, even beyond NSMB Wii at the moment. It'll likely continue to ride a good momentum this whole year until new hardware is to appear, even then, numbers will go up nonetheless. 

Zelda TOTK which was overshipped at launch finally is starting to build up again. It's difficult to think if it'll catch up totally with Zelda BOTW ... But I think some kind of remaster/deluxe edition on the Switch successor could help.

Looking at the overall revenue, it's on the net positive as usual, even increased due to exterior streams of revenue outside of the home console buisness, and also the cards which both doubled their total revenue.

To finish the fiscal year at about 141M Switch shipped is definitely a good step in the direction of surpassing the reigning DS when it comes to their own hardwares. Can't say if it truly has the potential of surpassing the PS2 at this point however, we'll know once we understand Nintendo strategy for its next generation hardware.
