Good question. Not the first 7 months, but DS and Switch both managed to sell 18 million+ in 6 month periods. The Switch shipped 18.5 million for the 6 months between Q2 and Q3 FY2021. DS did 18.7 million in Q2 and Q3 2009, and 17.5m in FY2008 with 7 million in Q1 and 6 million in Q2. So, the 7 month 18m+ has been done a few times in history, just not at launch. It would be unprecedented if Switch 2 got close to those numbers. |
The Switch was during the pandemic and DS was impulse buy pricing. Both had kid friendly pricing. Switch 2 may never get those numbers in it's lifetime.
