980k units shipped in FQ1 brings the LTD sales to 153.10m. A good result because this is just about the pace needed to at least meet the forecast of 4.5m for the full fiscal year. What's needed per quarter is ~1m, ~1m, ~2m, ~0.5m. While hardware declined by more than 50% year over year, software decreased by only 20%. Even in the late life stage of Switch, interest in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains very high; 660k copies were shipped.
Switch 2 hardware won't be priced anywhere close to the Switch Lite for a while. This is the fiscal year where the OLED model will receive significant damage, down 60% yoy. The regular model won't fare much better, also down 60% yoy. The Lite is down by only 30%. This also marks the first occurence of the Lite not coming in last place in shipments among Switch SKUs.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
