I have to say I'm Pleasantly surprised and happy that a simple game like Clubhouse games sold almost 1 million units in the past quarter alone and is now borderline at 2 million. I want more simple casual fun pick up play games on the Switch like we saw during the Wii era with stuff like Wii Sports and Wii Play, I hope this sends a message to Nintendo that there is demand for simple casual games like Wii Sports/Clubhouse games so maybe Nintendo could make a sequel to Wii Sports on Switch or something.

Why release a crap wii fit or something alike when we have a much better ring fit adventure ?

The best-selling console in France is the Nintendo DS with 10.8M units sold, I'm sure the Switch can overtake it as it's extremely popular here. More than all other consoles

Agreed.

One Switch Sports with online + coop ( teams?, maybe?), leagues, tournaments will be great.

And more 2d platforms. One new AAA 2d Mario e and new DK returns.

Yeah that absolutely should release a Wii Sports Club Deluxe or something on the Switch. Won't take much work and would sell millions, assuming its not $60. I'd surely buy it at a discounted price.

2D Mario is needed as well. I'm hoping that will be a major title next year, or at the very latest 2022.

I'm hoping that we haven't heard about a 2D Mario game because they're working on a title that's not part of the "New" series and that's taking them more time to develop.



Signature goes here!

Hardware through 15 quarters:

Switch - 68.30m
Wii - 73.97m
DS - 77.54m

PS4 was at 63.3 so switch is exactly 5M ahead at 15 quarters.

No more "new", I hope.

A new 2d AAA Mario Bros.

2d Mario is unbelievably strong. Nintendo has to make a new one for the Switch.

Initial forecast of 19.0M was revised to 24.0M by accounting for over-performance of first half.  So...

Old Forecast:

Q1/Q2: 7.50M

Q3/Q4: 11.50M

Total: 19.0M

New Forecast:

Q1/Q2: 12.5M (Actual)

Q3/Q4: 11.5M (Unchanged from Forecast above)

Total: 24.0M

LOL.  They will blow that number in Q3 alone. 

They have now shipped 26,620,000 units in the last 4 consecutive quarters (ahead of any rolling 4-quarter for the Wii), and we had rumors of production increases both Q1 and Q2 that would not realistically bear fruit until Q3.  They should be able to out-ship last year's Q3 10,810,000 easily.  13-14M should be on the table, if not more.  Jan-Mar quarter will be huge as well on the back of holiday momentum + better software slate than ever before (two heavy hitters with a sprinkling of 3P titles).  30M is the obvious real target for the FY.

Also - notable that R&D spending has hit historical highs (I'm trying to dig to confirm this) for three consecutive quarters in a row.  We'll see what's cooking for next year.

Well, MK8D is beating MK Wii after all. Boy that's a lot of Mario Kart. Also, Animal Crossing is getting close to that, this sales are insane.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
