3ds will be discontinued when it is near the end of that fiscal year. Probably January to April. End of year party should increase sales of 3DS and therefore it makes sense to continue production until 2021. But it shouldn't be much of that. 3DS is expected to sell at a maximum of 400/500k thousand units this year.

So with these adjustments, do we go and say the Switch will top best performance in May for any console ?

Without knowing the numbers I'll say that I'd take that bet. Do you know the best May results so far?



Signature goes here!

I just did some major adjustments based on NPD figures. Adjustments were made in most regions worldwide.

Worldwide lifetime adjustments:

  • NS adjusted up 1,137,000 units
  • PS4 adjusted up 846,600 units
  • X1 adjusted up 433,900 units
  • 3DS adjusted up 38,600 units

If it makes PS4 reaches 130M sooner I'm all in =p

With these adjustments, it]s just insanity how much switch is selling. It's gonna be a 100mil+ seller for sure and quite possibly get closer to NDS and PS2 than any other console.

Nice to see every console adjusted up, NS absolutely excellent, PS4 very good second, excellent considering its age. XBOne still alive and this week again, after adjustments, in a far better condition than what unadjusted numbers made believe, HW comparison tool shows that the partial resurrection started at the beginning of March.
Anyhow, the most noteworthy things are how much AC boosted NS and how much FF VII remake did it with PS4.

Yes it does. Also brings the Xbox One closer to 50 million, making it nearly guaranteed to hit that number by the end of the year. 

X1 will be well within my prediction range and PS4 as well.

As far as I remember I have predicted X1 to be 50-60M and PS4 120-130M.

Thats been my prediction as well pretty much since launch, 3rd consecutive generation where PS+XB sell about the same.

Exactly, reason why I sustain that Nintendo haven't been directly competing with then Wii, WiiU and Switch had their own market. Wii bringing people that didn't game, WiiU having just the hardcore Nintendo fanbase due to the issues, Switch bringing their big portable fanbase, nintendo hardcore and also a good overlap of Xbox and PS fans that either like Nintendo IPs or wanted a good portable option. And also reason why Switch didn't impact PS4+X1 sales nor will PS5+XSX impact Switch sales.

The pandemic has done wonders for the gaming market. Now movies, we know the box office is basically at nothing right now. Though, I bet Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc subscriptions are all up. 

Yes things are all mixed and messed up.

The Switch is absolutely on fire, it should pass the 3DS's lifetime sales in just 4 years at this rate, and PS3/360 within 5.
