Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Switch has sold-in (shipped) 14.86 million, 3DS 72 million, Nintendo's FY 2017 Nine Months Earnings

Wow, very surprised at Mario Odyssey with 9m. It even outsold Mario Kart. Usually nothing outsells Mario Kart.

Mario Kart is more known for outselling things because of extremely long legs.

It will probably outsell Odyssey in the long run.

But the majority of consoles have not sold that many units in 9-10 months...

Yes, selling that much in 9-10 months is huge. Beating the Wii U, no matter the timeframe, to me, is not.

That contradictory as you just admitted it is huge.

True enough.  But I think Galaxy sold about 5m in about the same time frame.  9m for Odyssey is a huge jump up from that.  It's kind of nuts.

Absolutely, it will probably go on to sell 15+ million, a first for a 3D Mario title.

I'm disappointed. I was expected many necrobumped threads. Where is Rol??



It'll be really interesting to see the sales of those upcoming Wii U ports going forward, as the Switch continues to outrun the Wii U's install base.

As many as 6 million more Switch owners (than Wii U owners) may exist by the time Tropical Funky Kong comes out.

Switch just outsold/outshipped/outclassed Wii U LTD in 10 months and we have pages upon pages of people bickering over shipped vs sold.

happens in every single thread when a company reports their numbers. Its honestly puzzling how this is an issue every thread.  Raises some questions in my mind honestly

Yes I just can't understand this also, for many years whenever quarterly numbers are reported in financial statements from Nintendo,Sony,Microsoft its always shipped. Yet it seems we have always have people always saying Oh no thats actually Sold to customers not shipped.

Perhaps this site needs a FAQ, and write at the top a short piece explaining this

I can understand if its new members but its especially baffling when its people who have been on this site for years are saying its sold through.
