Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Major Switch Titles Launch Aligned - December 2024 Update

We're nearing the end of the Switch's life and since no game has shipped 1 mil so far this FY and we therefore have no update on Wonder and many other titles, I'm gonna go ahead and skip the June 2024 update since there would be virtually no change (I've written down the sales though so I can update correctly in the future).

Imma deduce that Princess Peach Showtime counted for the previous fiscal year ?

Anywoo, Q2/Q3 will largely have more interesting updates to draw from in any case 👌

Yea it released right on the edge of the FY, but we know it sold 1.22m in the first 9 days and that it hasn't sold another million since then. Might make it to 2-2.5m at most I would imagine.

Heh, as usual, let's see after the holiday period what the general goers and parents will think of it. I think it'll achieve that other million at the tail end of Q3.

Updated now for the Q2 report though there still isn't a whole lot of new stuff to see. A few things to note:

  • Still no update for Super Mario Wonder, unlike Nintendo Switch Sports, meaning the latter is likely to outsell it lifetime as they should be sitting at very similar sales right now and NS Sports is apparently already selling faster of the two. It seems unlikely either game will reach New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe to break into the top 10.
  • TotK and BotW sold the same amount in the last quarter, which unfortunately was only 240k. A big decrease from what BotW was selling two years ago so maybe their long term sales are cannabalizing each other a bit. This also means tragically that TotK has fallen behind Pokémon Sword and Shield launch aligned.
  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will never stop selling.

Though the graphs are pretty full I'll probably find a way to add Echoes of Wisdom and Mario Party Jamboree next quarter which might be our last new games (Assuming Prime 4 releases around the same time as the next Nintendo system I probably won't include it).

Update out now for the December quarter though it came a bit late. Things to note:

  • MK8 Deluxe keeps flying and is now only 15m behind lifetime sales for Wii Sports. With a new Mario Kart on the way it doesn't seem likely to reach it ofc but still incredible it got this close.
  • The days of New Horizon being the lauch-aligned king are drawing to an end though it has been clear for a while it would happen
  • We finally got an update of Mario Wonder which has drawn ahead of the secondary Pokemon games and is now leading the Heavyweights launch aligned though there's a very long way to the lifetime sales of Super Mario Party or even New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.
  • Nintendo Switch sports is still soaring and probably belongs in the heavyweights at this point. Its sales are exactly tied with Wonder but it has sold 600k more this fiscal year.

I've decided against adding Echoes of Wisdom or Jamboree atm as there wouldn't be much to see anyways, but for the record Jamboree debuted with around 700k more than Superstars in its first quarter while Echoes of Wisdom is tracking almost 300k behind Link's Awakening 2019 at the end of their second quarter (though Awakening did have about an extra week of sales).
