There's still Smash month. If your bet supposedly still has a 50/50 chance, then Switch beating Wii in December is definitely at least a 50/50 chance as well.

it won't. remember having a strong November means a weaker december these days.

Nintendo's bigger November will because of Pokemon, not $100 off like Sony and Microsoft. And there's that little indie game Smash coming out in December as well.

My current prediction for November is 1.25m and December 2m. Which would mean the Switch reached 5.75m for the year.

It has a small chance to beat Wii in December I think, but other then that January is the only month it came close.

Thanks for updating the numbers. The Wii was truly a beast. Strangely in December the sales were flat compared to November. Was the Wii supply limited?

I am pretty sure Wii was supply limited.  It was pretty infamous in the US for being supply limited during 2006-2008, especially during the holidays.  Ironically this will probably mean Switch will beat the Wii in December.  Nintendo only has 2 big guns this year, Pokemon and Smash, and they saved them both for the end of the year.  If they end up running some of their many bundles at $299 during December, then I think its a guarantee that Switch will win this last month.  We'll just have to wait and see.



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

While i don't see Switch winning, i'm sure results will be closer than what people expect.

I vote for the 7-8 million range.

switch won't even win one month.

Great prediction! 

 

November it won't win so that just leaves December. God you're good at this numbers game.

I thought the Switch had a stronger December than November last year.
