Digital Sales on Switch are actually even higher than the other consoles due to ease of portability. If these are physical only numbers without Nintendo store and amazon reports, I think it is safe to say sales are up there with other mainline games.

| PAOerfulone said: X/Y and Sun/Moon sold around 2.1 and 1.9 million copies at retail, respectively, when they launched. Even with a high digital ratio thanks to the NSO Vouchers, say 30%,, that would still clock Sword/Shield's overall launch total just under 1.8 million. |
And See/Sh is a lot more expensive per game sold.

Uh... no Switch digital sales are much lower than PS4/XBO. https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2019/191031_3e.pdf
Nintendo's Revenue breakdown for software last fiscal year:
Retail Games - 75.2%
Digital Versions of Retail Games - 16.8%
Download Only Titles, Add-On Content & Subscriptions - 8%
If you take out the 8% from Download Only, Add-On's and Online Subscriptions it works out that 18.2% of retail/packaged software revenue comes from digital.
While last fiscal year the "PS4 full game software digital download ratio" was 37%.

In terms of revenue Nintendo reported 118.8 Billion yen in digital revenue, PlayStation reported 1102 Billion, almost 10 times as much digital revenue.

It doesn't surprise me PSN is ahead. PSN has amazing discounts compared to the Eshop.

Can't get singular digital sales, but we can get the average digital sales ratio of all retail/package games.
Last fiscal year Digital Sales including "A. downloadable versions of packaged software, B. Download-Only Software, C. Add-On Content and D. Nintendo Switch Online Subscriptions" accounted for 24.8% of sales to the total dedicated video game software sales. Nintendo show that 67.6% of those digital sales are "downloadable versions of packaged software sales". So we get this: Retail Games - 75.2% so (16.8/92)*100 - 18.2 So for last fiscal year the digital ratio for retail games was 18.2%. This would put SW/SH FW sales including digital at 1.66m But that's global data, revenue not units and average lifetime, not average FW. So how useful that actually is, is questionable. |
Why are you using global previous fiscal year when we know the Japan shipped+digital totals & retail sell through total for titles on the voucher program?
I'll have to look them over again but if I recall the digital rate is something like 20% for Mario Maker, 40% for Fire Emblem and 30% for Link's Awakening.

Did not know we had data for Shipped+Digital Japan Only.

Thank you for correcting me, I was going off of what I personally have seen. I will keep this data in mind.
However if you take 16.8% of Pokemon physical sales and add it to retail numbers, you get 2.18 mil with that alone. Now this is by no means an exact number, but a VERY ROUGH guestimate based on the facts you provided.
Add in the current unlnowns from Amazon and Nintendo stores, and my point still stands. So until we have all the facts, it might be best to keep the downplay to a minimum is all I am saying.

I think it's a pretty good opening. If you factor in an estimated 30% for digital sales then it's almost up there with gen 7 for FW sales. Then factor in the much higher HW entry point and the fact that the price of the SW itself is possibly 30% more expensive, then revenue-wise it's probably the biggest FW sales for a mainline pokemon in Japan yet. Given both the HW and SW are priced more prohibitively than before and the fact that it's the series' 1st entry on a home console, i'd say that FW sales are actually quite outstanding.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

The difference is so big because Sony is charging so much for online multiplayer and has a lot more customers who are willing to pay for it. Barkley should have noted that his comparison isn't about game sales only. |
The "digital revenue" is everything including download-only, dlc and subscriptions, don't think it needed nothing. I posted the digital ratio of just software in the same post.

??? Previous 3 new gen titles: Pokemon Black & White - 2.64m How can you say "No impact." Regardless, even if sales had been amazing, without the "movement" as you call it, sales might have been even higher. |
It seems like Pokemom is on a decline despite having a bigger or lesser hardware sales. We will never know how much sales were lost because of the many issues the game have. It could be as big as 300k or less than 50k.
