Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware Mar 14-20 - Switch Sells Nearly 500,000 Units

Sayonara GBA; Switch moves up to the 9th highest selling system of all time.



Around the Network

Really strong switch sales. Is this the Monster Hunter launch week?



Switch sold over 1 million this week last year? Damn it



Switch has passed the PSP and by now has passed the GBA as well (considering the figures are behind).

Xbox One hits the 50 million milestone. I knew it had it in it. But honestly, almost no more will come from it. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft discontinues the Xbox One S this year or next year.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Switch will definitely enter at least spot no. 7 and at most spot number 5 by the end of the year. Number 3 is pretty guaranteed but can it reach 1?



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also



Great. Now the HD twins.

Switch is moving up the ranks fast this year.  With the way Switch is selling it will probably pass the XBox 360 before the end of June.
