Yeah I was taking a look at your thread^ the imports helped out as a factor too and just the longevity of the nsw in general. 40mil might be out of reach but 39mil is a great result

Suspense intensifies!

Soon will get a lot of answers from Nintendo next fy forecast.

Imports are somewhere between 1m and 2m as of now (they probably happen through my Nintendo store and Amazon Japan, which aren't tracked from famitsu). 

I figure out that, because Nintendo switch family had supply issues, even the original one eventually, while shipped sold difference was standing at 1.7m

Regardless, it will reach 38m sell through, which is amazing, 5m more from ds in an era (related to demographics most) not as much as favorable  for consoles. 

Sell thru is already well passed 38mil. Nsw was becoming supple restraint in Japan toward end of Jan if I remember correctly and the missing nsw aren’t tracked on Famitsu. Would not be surprised if sold thru and ship number end of this FY be around 38.3 possibly 38.4

73% had voted above 36m threshold,successful poll.

Coming for 40 million, thank you to Tomodachi life

I think it will pass 40 million, its already over 200k this year

I only predicted 36m for Japan back when this thread was created.  Tbone51 for the win!

Currently sitting at 38.14m as of Dec 31, 2025.

And it's showing better legs than a lot of people thought it would at this stage of its life and especially post-Switch 2 launch.

It just might pull it off!
