Can Splatoon Go on and Sell 3mil Lifetime? (Shipped+Digital) [Update: 2.42mil LTD, 80% There]

I remember at Neogaf people were doubting Splatoon, I didn't. In fact, I ended up being slightly wrong as Splatoon didn't make the Top 5 best selling Wii U games but that's mainly because Nintendo pretty much discontinued the Wii U much earlier than I anticipated. Splatoon ended up the 6th best selling game on the Wii U, but it's looking like Splatoon 2 will more than double Wii U...

Nintendo quarterly sales update (Switch 61.44m, Animal Crossing 22.4m)

The craziest thing is that this holiday New Horizon will be one of the Top 5 Games during Obon, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and December, along with the Switch. It will continue to sell more hardware because it's basically not competing with any other Nintendo game(or any other dedicated video game that costs $60 for that matter). It's going to be attracting a new audience that otherwise would...

BOLD PREDICTION: ACNH Will Become Best Selling GOAT in Japan [Update 7.15mil]

Somehow missed this thread, sry @tbone51 but after seeing the launch it was easy to see it will become the Top Selling Game of all time in Japan by 2022: By the way I always view Pokemon Red, Blue, Green + Yellow as the Top Selling game(thus 12M is what I was expecting by 2022) This is after Q1 had wrapped up: noshten said: Amazing Q1 Results for Switch Software, due to the launch of...

Famitsu Sales: Week 30, 2020 (Jul 20 - Jul 26)

So Nintendo announced a Pikmin port for the end of October. The game sold 232K physical on the Wii U, but considering the difference in audience between the Switch and Wii U - I don't see any problems for the port to easily outperform the original. The original Pikmin on the Nintendo64 is the best selling game in the franchise in Japan with 502K sales, another low bar. We shall see how this one...

June NPD 2020

The peak, the major driven sales, is Animal Crossing. COVID helps, but the true system sellers are Animal Crossing not COVID. Animal Crossing always a big hit, but the potential scope grows. The hybrid system with good games brought appreciation to Nintendo franchises. In this system, games sell more for longer because they reinforce Nintendo's sales policy. I totally agree but...

Famitsu Sales: Week 30, 2020 (Jul 20 - Jul 26)

It's weird and they could definitely be selling around 5K per week if supply was there but to me with the reveal of the PS5 they've given up on Japan and now it's going to be an entirely Mobile + Nintendo dominated. This will have long term implications for the console business, as next year I don't expect PS5 to be able to achieve more than 15% market share in terms of hardware. Their succession...

Speculation: No big fall title due to COVID, what can fill the void?

I'm sorry but this is where I stopped reading. No one ever said Breath of the Wild 2 was coming this year. We didn't "know" that at all, because it's not true. If you thought it was gonna happen, then good for you I suppose, but it was always a very hopeful prediction to say the least. If it doesn't come out this year, it wasn't "delayed", that's only your perception of it as you had...

Speculation: No big fall title due to COVID, what can fill the void?

But what if they had the capacity to sell 30 million. Unlike prior years now they have two production lines NSW and NSW L. Also they diversified their supply chain which meant that now factories in Vietnam can scale NSW L production. It's very likely the vast majority of NSW are still being made in China because they require far more work from a qualified workforce. Vietnam simply doesn't have...

Speculation: No big fall title due to COVID, what can fill the void?

A lot of things will be revealed when Nintendo releases their quarterly report in a few weeks. So ahead of that I do want to speculate on what the rest of this crazy year will bring to Nintendo. This is shaping up to be the current peak of Switch sales, if they manufacture 30M units that's how much they would sale for FY2020. This increase can be driven by Animal Crossing, Ring Fit Adventure, and...

So what if Nintendo isn't announcing anything because they don't have anything big ready for 2020 or they pushed it back to 2021... I've always assumed they would have something ready.  Could this mean they are clearing the way for 3rd Party games this holiday? So far Bandai Namco is working on Pokemon Snap, Konami is releasing Momotaro Dentetsu, Atlas will be launching SMT V next year...
