Yeah EU is definitely holding on better than US but it's likely due to the economic situation in EU. The US is tapped out at this price, which explains why November was an outlier thanks to the Black Friday deals. Nintendo has fully locked down Japan to explain why Switch is holding on so well there. A reasonable error of margin allows Switch's sellthrough/sold to consumers figures to be as high as 149 million or more which makes 151-152 million shipment/sold possible.

Edit: @XtremeBG Those drops during the year are because of Zelda and Mario movie. Which means those drops aren't natural and unreasonable to determine what the drops will look like this year. 2025 even has the biggest software mover (Pokemon ZA) between the two years (2024 vs 2025).

Are we sure those numbers are correct? I mean we all know the Switch is a sucess but 900k+ only in europe in december ALONE?! 151 Million, hmm maybe, 152 million seems a bit high to me, but after this december i wouldn't be shocked if it actually happened. Anyway, 150 million by the end of 2024 is a dead lock now and the DS should fall sometime in summer! What comes after that depends on Switch software in 2025/26, when the sucessor comes and what price it is.

There's plenty of data suggesting Switch holding on better in EU than people expected. Vgchartz also shouldn't be your basis for what Nintendo is selling/shipping. Remember Vgchartz figures are estimated, you see vgchartz adjusting to Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft and the trackers reported figures for a reason. Nintendo likely needs to be closer to 152 million to meet the revised goal of 12.50 million for the fiscal year or alittle under 154 million shipped by March 31, 2025.
