amazing Nintendo! Animal Crossing made 2020 a crazy ride for the Switch, looks like I wasn't crazy to predict it could actually reach Mario Kart 8 :P



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Ok so it's insane. We got that out of the way. When can we expect it to pass 100m realistically?

I just can't believe how fast Animal Crossing is going btw. That is just insane.

It did it! It beat the 3DS!!! Amazing sales. So much games reached 20million and 30million. And there are plenty of games almost at 10milllion! Amazing hardware sales despite lack of software.

Switch has now also sold more software (532.34 million) than the Gameboy.

Also RFA at this point should be the highest selling recently released JRPG after Pokemon.

Note: I’m doing this on mobile and calculating in my head, so I don’t have a spreadsheet version, and there may be a few errors, but I don’t think so.

Animal Crossing and Mario Kart are literal beasts. Ring Fit Adventure has ended up being quite the sleeper hit selling more last quarter than ever before.

I really hope Nintendo brings out a more robust Switch Fit sequel that contains more entertaining side-features like Wii Fit did. I want to see more motion gaming on the Switch in 2021, much more.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 4.42 million units. 28.99 million as of September 30th 2020.

Yep, another COVID year and the +20 million for 2021 is now a given

Going by current momentum even if the year is not as high as last year we could actually see the NS pass the Wii and PS1, 80m shipment to start the year would mean FY2020 could end at around 84m despite being a more quiet period the quarter ends with the release of MHR and has SM3DW on route to that both should lift momentum but the former will push performance in Japan. The performance of the first two quarters of the next FY under this would see the NS above 90 before the holiday period arrives, Q1 and Q2 last year (current FY) saw around 6m and 7m if we rounded that down due to the years monstrous performance to be conservative lets say 4m and 5m for the new FY's first two quarter that would still put the NS at 93m going into the holiday period.

Nintendo tends to average 10m during the holiday period and as seen with this past holiday period they still hit 11m with no huge release while new platforms were being launched, 10m again this holidays would be 103m surpassing both the Wii and PS1 while moving it into the top five selling platforms of all time.
