Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware September 20 to 26 - Switch Sales Drop 100,000 Units Week-on-Week

100k drop and still a solid 400k. Madness



Around the Network

Not like we should weep 415k though.



Not to troll but if Game Pass is said to be so amazing shouldn't it have had an affect on xbox sales throughout 2020? The difference, even in US is huge in favor of ps4 which I still selling strong with PS5 about to release.
Game Pass does have amazing value but it is nothing for me really after having the pc version for half a year. And I think because a big group of people still prefer to pay 60 bucks for a game like God of War (or just wait till it gets a ps hits discount) than get a year of game pass. It's also the reason why I think that series consoles won't sell more as the Xbox ones but similar.

gamepass doesnt erase all of the bad stigma relating to the Xbox oNe.

Consumers know that Xbox One is on the way out. Game Pass is doing well because of Windows and existing Xbox One owners. I'd imagine that consumers who don't have anything to play Game Pass on are waiting for the Xbox Series S/X. 

Tough to say how low Xbox One sales will be before it's fully discontinued. The Xbox One S is the only model left now, and it should be able to make the lifetime total of 50 million.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 156 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Not really, because there's no stock. I wanted to buy an XBox One specifically for Gamepass, and had to go to ebay to do so, because new ones were, in August, selling above retail price by 50-100. Currently, new systems are not available on Gamestop. Some sellers are selling them through Amazon, but for like 400 for the 1 TB model, which doesn't make much sense with the Series S coming out in the near future.

PC is why, and now mobile with xcloud. Xbox hardware sales no longer matter that much.



Switch "only" sold 415k because Japan is supply constrained. Those N. America and Europe numbers are high compared to the weeks before 3D All Stars launched. But Japan is about the same or maybe even slightly lower. They are extremely supply constrained still.

I hope Nintendo can up those shipments soon. I know they said they'd up production to 30m for the fiscal year, but it still takes time to ship all of those Switches out.
