Forums - Sales - The Road to 160m+ for Nintendo Switch

One of the last major milestones for Switch 1 to achieve is to reach 40M+ sales in Europe, it would be the third Nintendo hardware to reach that milestone in Europe after the Gameboy and Nintendo DS and the fifth hardware in total to reach 40M+ sales in Europe (Gameboy, PS2, DS, PS4).

@xl-klaudkil But we're still in the initial launch period for Switch 2. Obviously Nintendo is prioritizing Switch 2 for the initial demand. We'll have to see how things play out first once demand settles down slightly.

Yeah but reading that felt like a waste and distasteful.

Yeah, you can blame @Phenomajp13 for this. His attacks are based purely on hate. That's all. It's never interesting when it's based on hate.

Let me get this straight: All this mayhem between you and Phenomenajp13 is going on and on just because you made a prediction and later adjusted it and he didn't like you did that?

No, this poster is simply dishonest.

This poster will make a prediction and once they realize they might be wrong, this poster will claim they never made the prediction ie lie. Then when I quote them saying it (caught them in the lie), they go on a childish "ima victim" rant.

Or change their prediction once they realized they might be wrong and deny ever making the initial prediction ie lie, because I pointed out it isnt a flex to change your prediction after you realize your initial prediction might be incorrect.

I have never picked on this individual for having incorrect predictions or else I would have to target everyone, this poster is just flatout dishonest and lies constantly because of their obsession with Nintendo.

I want you to notice this poster never quotes me to provide evidence of my wrong doing because its just constant lies. This poster instead makes up pages and pages of lies supporting it with their own ridiculous logic expecting you to just believe whatever they spew because thats how dishonest people operate. Providing evidence is the enemy of dishonest people because they are in fact lying lol.

While I actually quote the individual after they lied because I have nothing to hide. I don't have to convince you of anything because I showed you the poster DOING IT. This poster is obsessed with being a victim because it hurts to see so much evidence of their dishonesty, even now this poster says blame it on me and not accepting of any accountability. This latest rant from this professional victim is all due to their obsession with Nintendo. All I said was use the thumbs up button and the victim goes on a rant lol. Several posters agreed with using the button. Its there for a reason and ofcourse this individual got salty. 



I going to erase this because I was suppose to not respond, I'll keep my word.

What nonsense. I literally confirmed in my previous post that I have had wrong predictions as well! Just like every normal human being would have. 

And because I've adjusted exactly 2 of my (maybe more than 20 by now) predictions, I am dishonest. Or because I've not specially went to prove myself to some nobody on the web, when few of them went wrong, I am dishonest. What nonsense!

Yep @CourageTCD , just because of that. The center of the reason is one word however and this is: Hate.

So... we will get Nintendo updates tomorrow, right?



 

 

We reap what we sow

@160rmf Yes, we'll get an update on total hardware and software sales for their systems, as well as the total sales of top 10 best selling Switch & Switch 2 games. We'll also get updates on any games that sold over 1m worldwide this past quarter.



It will be interesting to see the top 10 software for Switch 2 with 3rd party titles

We reap what we sow

980k units shipped in FQ1 brings the LTD sales to 153.10m. A good result because this is just about the pace needed to at least meet the forecast of 4.5m for the full fiscal year. What's needed per quarter is ~1m, ~1m, ~2m, ~0.5m. While hardware declined by more than 50% year over year, software decreased by only 20%. Even in the late life stage of Switch, interest in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains very high; 660k copies were shipped.

Switch 2 hardware won't be priced anywhere close to the Switch Lite for a while. This is the fiscal year where the OLED model will receive significant damage, down 60% yoy. The regular model won't fare much better, also down 60% yoy. The Lite is down by only 30%. This also marks the first occurence of the Lite not coming in last place in shipments among Switch SKUs.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

Switch 1 will get a price increase in the US, which probably seals the whole deal with Switch not overtaking PS2. In an alternative reality without tariffs the Switch 1 could have outsold the PS2 eventually.
