Next week is gonna explode. It's gonna be insane numbers

The only other systems that were capable of weekly sales of this magnitude were the Wii and DS.

Nintendo is literally just competing with themselves! 

Nintendo is a force to be reckoned with when they remember who they are and not release shit consoles. 

The scary part is, with presumably more supply, presumably new revisions, and games like Monster Hunter Rise and possibly BOTW2, could 2021 actually be even higher for Switch?

If it is. We'll need to start having serious discussions about the Switch becoming the best selling video game system of all time.

True, but on the other hand they'll be more prepared for demand so folks who missed out on getting a Switch in 2020 but wanted one could get one in 2021. Those who settled for a Lite cos it was all they could find might also upgrade to a base or the rumored Pro model in 2021.

That said, yeah, 22-25 million would still be a fantastic result for a system in its 5th calendar year.

NSW vs. NDS 07-09 & Wii 08-09 through 37 Weeks (VGC Data)



Obviously, adjustments for Jul-Sep could still be coming once we get Eur/ROTW data from Nintendo on 11/5/20.

As a reminder, at the investors meeting this week nintendo maintained their 19 million hardware guidance numbers for the fiscal year.

for japan alone?

That will be surpassed by the 2nd week of November, maybe even sooner!
