Forums - Sales Discussion - Switch Sales Top 112M, Sales Jump for PS5, XS, and NS - Worldwide Hardware Estimates for Aug 21-27

Good sales all around, I wonder if 200k weekly will be the baseline for every console next year. When was the last time all the big 3 managed to sell 200k weekly ?

All 3 systems had a good week. Switch seems to have had an especially good week because Asia is preparing for Splatoon 3 release. I think Switch can likely get several 300k+ weeks in a row because of Splatoon 3.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Switch coming for 120-125 million by end of December !!

Switch's YOY drop has shrunk from close to 30% in April down to almost 20% now.
Will be interesting to see where it ends up; the OLED arrived last October, but this year has a very strong lineup and healthy momentum.
The fabled cliff is turning out to be more of a natural slope.

And wasn’t that cliff supposed to happen in 2019? Causing the Switch to fail to hit a hundred million by quite a lot?

Quickrick's original cliff prediction that spawned the phrase was actually that the Switch sales would fall off a cliff in 2018 lmao

Last year had a pretty solid holiday lineup as well

2021 vs 2022

Metroid vs Bayonetta

Mario Party vs Mario+Rabbids

Diamond/Pearl vs Scarlet/Violet

Big Brain Academy vs surprise casual game??? (Maybe Style Savvy or Art Academy)
