| Blood_Tears said: https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/nintendo-switch-2-sales-stumble-over … One senior Nintendo employee told me that a “complicated economic landscape”, mixed with higher price points and “the absence of a major Western game” during Christmas could make for tough comparisons with Switch 1, but overall, he’s proud of what was accomplished during a tricky year. |
Already saw this: it’s a bait headline in order to drive site traffic.
The data they cite very clearly demonstrates that NS2 is cruising along very well: Switch sold over 4mil in December 2017 alone, and TGB reports NS2 as having performed even better than that in most regions. This goes well beyond Nintendo 6mil shipping projection *for the entire holiday quarter*. (And that’s not even mentioning the fact that most comparisons here are 3/3-12/31/2017 against 6/5-12/31/2025.)
NS2 is likely around 17-19mil shipped as of 12-31-2025. It’s insane to call that a “slump.”
