7mil in 9w is unbelievable. I can’t imagine how strong the system will be selling with a new 3D/2D Mario, Animal Crossing, Zelda, Pokémon, Smash Bros, etc.
Also(!), I have a theory: In order to maintain strong demand throughout the life of NS2, instead of pushing out every system seller right at the start of the gen (unlike what they did for NSW), Nintendo plans to gradually release heavy-hitters throughout the generation. E.g. 3D Mario and Luigi’s Mansion in 2026, Animal Crossing and Splatoon in 2027, Pokémon and Smash Bros in 2028, Zelda and 2D Mario in 2029, etc. Seeing how successful this strategy was in 2023 with TotK & Mario Wonder sending hardware figure well above fiscal targets, if this is Nintendo’s intention, then it very well could be the case that not only NS2 will have a stronger start than NSW, but also stronger legs as well (excluding FY21/22). That said, maybe this is a stretch, but 140-170mil territory looks to be where NS2 is heading. I’m not sure if it’s possible for a system to soar above 170mil…but only time will tell. Price hikes will also complicate things a little bit.
