Forums - Sales - Global Hardware Mar 21-27 - Switch Sells Nearly 750,000 as Monster Hunter Launches

All had a boost it seems. Massive for switch



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Around the Network

At the current rate NS will overtake the 360 in this quarter and close in on the PS3.



A monster rise in Switch sales to coincide with the launch of Monster Hunter Rise.

Next week PS5 7 million.

Is it the first time in the history of this industry that a console has an almost systemic supply issue 4 years after its release?
Switch is incredible

And with it's original pricing... like. No one compares.



NSW missed the Q1 sales record by 49K with one week remaining, so it is guaranteed.  Will not be losing its lead on 2020 anytime soon.

It needs only 511K in week 13 in order to take the all-time non-holiday quarter record of 5,886K by NDS in Q2 2007.  6M is also possible, but if it happens, it'll be if NPD and/or Nintendo's shipment numbers go higher than VGChartz is currently estimating.  Next few weeks will be telling as actual data pours in.

Fastest to 10M is also on the table.  NDS 07 and NSW 2020 both hit the 10M mark in week 23.  NSW needs to average 463K from here on out to hit that mark by week 22.

Thank you for your hard work.

This is astounding... Never thought something could actually best DS' records.

360 it will definitely overtake this quarter

To catch PS3 by week ending 26th June Switch needs to average 440k per week (assuming no adjustments). So it might overtake both this quarter.

I got an average of 384K,

87.41-82.42=4.99 (so 5 million to overtake)

There are 13 weeks from March 27 to June 26

5M/13=384K, am I missing something?

Monster Hunter proving itself a system seller, and not just in Japan.

Switch in its lowest major region, Europe > Xbox Series globally, and Switch in Japan alone > PS5 globally.

That said, nice gains for both 9th gen consoles compared to prior weeks.

Oh, i guess the global totals page must get manually updated... this still has Switch at 81.69m

So yes, barring major downward adjusments Switch will definitely pass PS3 this quarter also.
