Forums - Sales Discussion - Nintendo Financial Results: Switch sales top 19.67m, Mario Tennis 1.38m, DK TF 1.4m, more

OTBWY on 31 July 2018

88.4% increase year-on-year operating profit

Switch close to 20m, close to last years quarter which had big games nonetheless so it kind of evens out.

Labo did 1,39m, so much for that flop.

Overal good result for the what is always the slowest quarter. The cliff is far away, I repeat, the cliff is far away.

Momentum is diffidently slowing down for switch, last year if there was stock, would make this years numbers look pathetic. interesting note Europe combined with ROTW has out shipped the americas for the first time by 30k.

From Nintendo's Earning Release

For Nintendo Switch, hardware sales in every region have been trending upwards since the video game expo, E3, was held in the US in June. In parallel with an increase in digital sales, software sales also have been moving in good shape towards the holiday season.

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2018/180731e.pdf

Nintendo is also keeping their forecast of 20 million HW and 100 million SW sales for this FY.

---------------------------------------------

We'll see in the long run I guess...

Nintendo will not change the forecast no matter what, there was a quarter the wiiu shipped 70k and they kept the same forecast. even though everybody it would take a miracle and then some to be even close.

It did last quarter but they also mentioned that momentum has been increasing in each region since around E3 so looks like they might have a good summer.

We'll see i mean with out hard numbers this could mean anything, july is always gonna trend upward compared to april, may and june.

It's a slight decline from last year, but momentum has been increasing since E3. Based on that, I think it's likely that this quarter's shipment will be higher than last year.

Why is July always going to trend higher than April/May/June?

mainly because there was no switches in stock, other wise it would have been a much bigger decline. Q2 will 2017 will out ship 2018 easily imo.

well here is the thing it's tending upwards compared to 2017? compared  to april, may, or june, we have no idea, it's a vague comment that really doesn't tell us much.

Well, I thought 20 million mark would be a given. I'm a little disappointed.
