Forums - Nintendo - Predict when Switch will outsell Wii U in total sales

 

It will happen...

This year 51 19.32%
 
Q1 2018 116 43.94%
 
Q2 2018 53 20.08%
 
Q3 2018 25 9.47%
 
Q4 2018 or later 19 7.20%
 
Total:264

For reference, Wii U sold 13.56 million lifetime, while VGChartz has Switch at just over 4 million as of June 3rd, after 3 months on the market.

When do you think it will happen, and on what do you base your prediction?



Around the Network

It could happen this holiday if Nintendo produce enough stock. But since probably they wouldn't make enough, I'll guess around Feb/Mar 2018.



A handheld gamer only (for now).

Between Dec 2017 and February 2018.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

At this rate, probably Early 2018

Depends if they could ship another 10 million between now and december 31st.

The question is, will it ever have enough stock to reach that number.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

At first they said their plan was to hit 10m first year.
Then they said they would try to increase that number to 14-18m?
But they ran into production issues (getting parts).

It depends on how many more units (than just 10m) they are able to make first year.

I think by Q1 in 2018, they will probably be close or just over.



Probably before the end of the year thanks to Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey

The problem is they have to fight tooth and nail, to get anything more than 10m done first year.

Because thats all the parts they had contracted, to make units out of.

They said they would try to do 14-18m lateron, but that getting parts was a issue.

They might not be able to do much more than 10m this year.



Since supply is crippling them, I'd say March 2018
