Odyssey already at 5M?

That seems a bit too high

if it is true (including digital of course) might be 7 million by year's end?

Keep in mind that for Splatoon 2(and for any game here really), the numbers given are not exact figures, and are probably in the ballpark.So 50% for Mario has actually the chance to be anywhere between 45 to 55% of the numbers of Switch sold.The same holdds true for Splatoon, which would make more sense, because Im almost sure that Splatoon sold more than 2.5 millions worldwide.

He specifically says 'more than 50%', not 'around' or 'roughly' or anything like that, so it's safe to assume that BotW, MK8D And Odyssey are each over 5m.

Splatoon 2 is probably be more of a ballpark number, but while it did very well, especially in japan, it hasn't been as impactful as the first one.

VG Chartz has Splatoon 2 at 2.5 million as of October 21st, wich is probably sustantially undertracked since Nintendo had the game at 3,6m shipped at the end of september. It should be over 4m shipped by now, but Reggie is reporting sold through consumers here, so I don't quite know what's going on with that number.

Didnt see the "over" part that Reggie spoke of, so I thank you and the other user for correcting me.But yeah, the whole point I was trying to make was more of a reference to Splatoon 2, because Im pretty certain it did more than 2.5 worldwide.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Switch over 10 million. Breath of the wild, Odyssey, and MK8 deluxe all over 5M. Splatoon 2 around 2.5M.

Not bad. Keep the switch train going



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I'm quite sure this is NA only.

A) This quote is coming from Reggie and not Kimishima.
B) Splatoon 2 should have higher than a 1 in 4 attach rate worldwide.
C) 3D Mario has always been a lot more popular in NA than it is in the rest of the world. I believe a greater than 50% attach rate for Odyssey in NA. I am very skeptical of this number worldwide.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

I don't understand the "more than Wii first year"? at the beginning of the sentence. Unless you mean by titles with more than a 50% attach ratio, which I guess is true as other than Wii Sports I don't think any other titles were that high, though I am not sure what Wii Play's sales were exactly.

i'm talking about the hardware, since Reggie said:  "it’s possible that the Switch will top the first-year sales of the Wii, if momentum remain strong through the holiday-shopping season."

Wii's first year sales were 20.13 million though:

I was also thinking that reggie said about switch surpass the 1st year of wii didn't makes much sense, maybe it's the reggienator wanting to confuse us :P

Reggie is probably talking about sell-through in the first 52 weeks. Going by VGChartz, at least, it would be entirely possible for Switch to beat Wii's 14.52M by February 24th, 2018.

That Splatoon 2 quote dont make any sense, Splatoon 2 was on 3.6m at end of September, buy now is easily above 4m, so saying that 1 of 4 Switch owners bought Splatoon 2 dont make sense if Switch sold 10m.

The Wii had that much stock on shelves?

Er, no. I think you're misunderstanding something here. Wii launched in the middle of the fiscal quarter, and the end of its 52nd week was November 17th, 2007. It obviously hadn't shipped 20.13M as of November 17th...

September 30th, 2007: 12.43M sell-through versus 13.17M sell-in
December 31st, 2007: 19.51M sell-through versus 20.13M sell-in
