Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Switch in Korea/Taiwan?

Anyone know how well the switch is selling in South Korea or Taiwan. I can’t find any articles about it. Did they announce when they would have some results?

ZhugeEX said some stuff. It sold 30k units on launch day, iirc. Give me a sec.



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.

That sounds low to me considering the size of their economy and population. However, I guess we don't know what the shipment numbers were.

The market has a potential for >1m sales considering the PS2 easily surpassed it. The switch however is probably doing much better then the XB1 in the same timeframe.

Do we have any sales data of other consoles, past and present? I think this is the first time ive ever seen any.

Less than 200 Xbox One at the big lauch day event

Ps4 over 440... Going by these numbers the Switch did extremely well

Well it also says only 440 for PS4 so i dont think these launch events are good indicators for nationwide sales.

Remember how I always say PS2 is ahead of Wii launch aligned? This is one the markets that helps confirm that.

This one is definitely hard to believe and I don't really like the source but here you go. http://purenintendo.com/south-korea-wii-ds-sales/

Wii – 500,000 units sold
DS – 2,500,000 units sold

Thanks for the numbers but how exactly does that make PS2 ahead of Wii launches aligned?
