Wow. If this is it then it’s a tough holiday for Sony and Microsoft. Shortages can’t end soon enough. Switch is hanging in there but it also could have been higher for sure.

I think everything will be adjusted down once the numbers release next month, especially NPD

So the NPD adjustments made it so the Switch didn't hit 97 million last week. But it was able to do so this week, and unless the next batch of adjustments say otherwise, it has also passed 98 million this week as well. 

This for sure. I've never actually seen a PS5 box because, y'know, no stock ever, but just eyeballing the showroom model I've seen suggests that you can easily ship 5 or more Switch units for every PS5.

Going back to 2016, who would have ever thought Switch would finish at LEAST top 3 of all time.

I remember having one of the more optimistic predictions back then: 80-100 million. It's about to blow right past it.

PS5 and Xbox Series very close worldwide and XS way ahead in America, Switch in NA more than double XS and well over triple PS5.

Switch in Europe > PS5 and Xbox Series combined.

Turns out having lower end hardware has its benefits after all.

I remember a thread I made about it needing to pass 85 million to be considered a success. Which was basically the Wii U sales plus the 3ds/2ds sales combined.  Definitely successful.

edit: found it, I actually had 80 million in the OP but the 3ds continued to sale after that to bring up the totals.

edit 2: was giving it 5 years from thread creation May 2017 before I revisited it.

This should be the week the Switch breaks 100 million (The actual week, as in 12/12 - 12/18, not the data week.)

I feel like we should be getting a formal announcement from Nintendo themselves saying "The Switch has officially sold over 100 million units! Thank you very much, Nintendo fans!" Or something along those lines. Because 100 million is certainly something worth bragging about.

How? Its actually selling really well, considering you cant find one anywhere.
