HARDWARE

Sorry for the delay, all. I’m currently on vacation in Ireland (5hr behind my normal time).

Nine years into its life and the Switch 1 has more million-sellers.

Tomodachi Life has already hit a million physical sales in Japan so that's quite the strong send off for the Switch 1 in terms of major first party games. Pokopia is just about at a million itself and the Switch 2 had a very strong first Golden Week though part of that will have been some panic buying the final stretch of last week. It'll depend on how much stock there is but it should do really well the next couple weeks but then sales will take a significant hit after the price increase. Its new baseline could end up being similar to the Switch 1 in 2018.

For the Switch 1 it did well compared to last year though it sales should tank after the increase so that'll be the end of it selling decently in Japan. Shame that its gonna have its surprisingly strong legs this year over there suddenly cut off considering how extremely impressive for its age its sales have been there lately. It'll be interesting to see if its baseline can manage to stay above 10k for a bit longer though.

And for the PS5 it managed to be up YoY thanks to the cheap digital model so it should compare well to 2025 for the rest of this year unless that model gets a price increase. That would outright kill PS5 sales in Japan though which would be really bad for the health of the brand there long term so eating the loss of those units would probably be the best choice. Also I was starting to wonder if I'd have to post the numbers myself this time lol. Have a nice vacation.

Switch 1 sales only down around 33% from last year. PS5 up over last year and holding its own nicely. But those Switch 2 sales... jeez louise.

And Tomodachi Life continues to impress. This is likely the last title for Switch 1 that would really help to boost hardware via holiday bundles and Nintendo would be foolish not to take advantage of this in every market.

Tomodachi Life helping Switch 1 for the rest ot its life.
160 million here we go

Thanks for posting firebush; the hardware sales chart appears very small for some reason though, to the point where it's hard to read on my screen, if you could blow it up a bit that would be great :)
