Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware Dec 20-26 - Switch Outsells Lifetime 3DS Sales

Switch's total software sales haven't only passed 3DS but also GBA even though it hasn't quite caught the latter in hardware sales yet.

It's current attack ratio, or average number of games sold per console, is 7, which is pretty damn good for a system midway through it's life as attach ration tends to increase with time as more and more games become available.

Looking at our figures for 2020 we aren't that far off for most of them. Only PS4 we have off by a lot. Do you have a link to your source? 

The main source is this article: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-01-08-43-million-games-sold-in-the-uk-in-2020-uk-annual-report

But there's a few tweets used by Chris Dring to get the estimates for the next gen consoles.

We also have Spain numbers, but only for the next gen consoles. We probably should start having articles for Spain sales since they have actual unit numbers for software and hardware usually.



www.vandal.net
is the source for Spanish numbers I'm referring to.
According to them, next gen hardware totals for the year are:
PS5:78.400K
XSS: 29.950K

Between PS4/Xbone being yesterday's news and PS5/XD struggling to provide sufficient stock, Switch is in a crucial position of being a hot product in the prime of its life, able to pick up the slack.
