It’s sold once it’s shipped. I know people here say some are on shelves but that’s irrelevant to Nintendo. If they’ve shipped 14.8m then those are sold to retailers. Either way it’s undertracked on here by quite a margin.

Wait what ? 14.86 sold through consumers ? 

That's impossible holy molly. It would crush the first year sales record by a lot.

15m sold by now practically assured. I wonder if Switch was quickest to 15m too?

Fantastic numbers! :)

This probably means the switch has ~14m sold through.

I'm a little dissapointed with Zelda and ARMS numbers, as I had hoped to see those a little higher. Splatoon 2 too, actually. But Mario is an absolute beast and Xenoblade over 1m is great news!

It's a shame they don't update Zelda WiiU numbers. It probably hasn't sold that much over the initial ~1m, but I'm curious nonetheless.

so sold to retailers counts as overall sales now huh? vgc tracks sold to consumers regardless so it shouldn't be altered to this new figure if it is sold to retailers

amazing sales either way, and Mario is even bigger than expected. I thought the 20m prediction thread was ridiculous but who knows, it doesn't have much competition at the start of this year, so I imagine it will remain the main game most people by the console with until next holidays. Maybe it can get there after all

Yes shipped is sold, but it is not "sold-through" so yes title is misleading.

Take it up with CGIQuality. Imo this has gone on too long by the usual suspects. The title stays for now until I hear or see otherwise.

Looks like i was right about Europe being undertracked.

It is of course very early days, but the Nintendo Switch is off to a strong start after just 10 months on sale.

It's currently outpacing Wii and PS4, due to its March release, but will likely drop behind or maintain a similar sales pattern over the next 14 months. pic.twitter.com/eiQqvtAxTg

Agree, only problem in headline is "sold-through" instead sold.
