Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, and be on point with the numbers .. The switch was at 136M sold as of dec 31st. It will probably do around 10M for 2024. This is making it 146M at end of 2024. 2025 will be around 5M. So ~151M. It really depends here if and when exactly they are launching switch 2 and also if they will pricecut the switch 1. Cuz with pricecut I can see the Switch reaching few millions more than what it can without pricecut (around 155M I think). So it's really 50/50 territorry here. For 160M they need to put the lite model at 199$ and the oled at 299$ with the normal one going for 249$. Also they need Switch 2 releasing spring 2025 at the earliest. of course summer or even fall of 2025, will greatly help. And even than 160M is a tough call. |
They are using shipped, not sold. |
From Nintendo's perspective sold to a retailer is very much sold. It does not matter if units have not been sold through to an end consumer.
The shipment numbers always accompany financial reports, so we need to interpret the word 'Shipments' in a financial sense, not logistics (like in-transit). Essentially it's to back up their financial numbers. In this sense 'Shipments' is to support revenue and cost of goods sold numbers, in that sense shipments are sales for Nintendo.
