So it's now ahead of even the DS's peak year for YTD sales up to November, right?

Yup.

So how does this compare to VGChartz's numbers for the same period?



NSW October 2019 vs. 2020

JP: 299K vs. 356K (+19%) - Famitsu
US: 309K vs. 736K (+138%) - NPD
Europe: Unknown vs. Unknown (+77%) - GI.Biz**

**Europe Estimates from LeLouch on Era

357k < NSW 2019 < 424k

633k < NSW 2020 < 750k

October between these three markets looks to be up ~75-80% YoY.

VGC had 554,652 for the same 4 week period.  Nintendo confirmed 735,926 - so under-tracked by almost 182K.



Great numbers! Switch should be top 3 all time in US by the end.

They're cleaning up with a holiday lineup that consists of three Mario ports, a Pikmin port, Pokemon DLC, and a Dynasty Warriors spinoff.

Don't forget a new Mario Kart game. :P



The Switch is an absolute beast.



not much no room for any stockpiling

demand falling off... any minute now
Everyone and their mom is just waiting for the PS5 to be in supply, and all the people who bought Switch in 2020 are going to be trading in all these sold units in November and December leading to 0 sales for Nintendo for the rest of the year. Animal Crossing was just a fad, and women and children will go back to their mobiles any minute now leaving gaming to serious gamers like myself. There will be piles of discarded Ring Fit peripheral filling up landfills in Western Arizona and Nintendo will finally succumb and be bought by Disney in order to make interactive movies for Disney+



Now im convinced Switch is going to sell 12 million worldwide Oct, Nov, Dec.
