Tober said: The Famicom shipped till the early 2000. I don't remember Nintendo updating the Famicom/NES numbers for so long. What happens when the Switch reaches 157.5 million? We will have discussions till the end of times. |
This NeoGAF thread with compiled Nintendo shipment numbers says otherwise:
https://www.neogaf.com/threads/nintendo-historical-shipment-data-1983-present.701305/
Famicom numbers were reported up until March 2004, so until the very end.
And while Switch might not get a full breakdown of its shipment numbers for all four regions in Nintendo's financial report until the very end (which will probably the case when yearly global shipments fall below 1-2m units), there's always this page that has seen updates outside of their financial reports:

So it's pretty safe to assume that we'll know Switch's final hardware and software shipments.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
