Yeah, passing the 3DS should be no issue whatsoever. The DS is the real challenge.

Need more heavy hitters, may a New AAA 2D Mario and Switch Sports? 

A new AAA 2D Mario would certainly do the trick. Especially if its ambition and production values are along the lines of what we usually get from 3D Mario (64/Galaxy/Odyssey).

Switch Sports... Ehhh, maybe. I’m really not too sure on that one.

Stock and RFA is all they need for 2021 lmao

So I have famitsu DS numbers. This one is tricky cuz some years DS adjusted numbers so I up some of the quarters (varies between 10k-50k most) but it’s pretty accurate and I got the total year numbers.

Anyways enjoy!!!

Note DS started with holiday quarter so it isn’t the fairest comparison but it is what it is....


Q# — NSW - DS

Q1: 565k - 1096k
Q2: 476k - 713k
Q3: 767k - 523k
Q4: 1599k - 750k
Q5: 684k - 2017k
Q6: 484k - 1533k
Q7: 595k - 2576k
Q8: 1719k - 2244k
Q9: 954k - 2510k
Q10: 531k - 1949k
Q11: 1035k - 1936k
Q12: 1974k - 1535k

At this point DS was at 19.38mil vs NSW 11.38mil so literally an 8mil gap. That’s a lot and impossible to catch up..... sike!!

Now for interesting part.....(Q13 and Q17 are DS holiday)

Q13: 1703k - 1724k
Q14: 964k -1064k
Q15: *866k - 530k
Q16: ????k - 687k
Q17: ????k - 1749k

In Q15 it’s currently DS 22.70mil and NSW is 14.91mil which means the gap is shortened to 7.79mil minus what ever NSW sells in the next 5 weeks.

If NSW does extremely well in Q4 and match Q1 with DS holiday then I think gap will be at 6mil. It’s a longggg road but let’s see

DS was also a lot cheaper at £99 at launch, when adjusted for inflation that is £153 today which means it was half the price of what NS was at launch and still is now 4 years in.

Ok adding in some touches for 3DS vs NSW
