They only don't count the Nintendo store. They estimate Amazon's sales.

My guess is it'll be a Pokemon game sometime in the 2030's so 10-15 years from now.

Good PS5 numbers considering it was having some stock issues.

Too bad most of the Switch software didn't get much of a boost despite the mastodon launch of Zelda TOTK.
Also yeah the 50% physical/digital split is mostly due to the price increase which lead more people to actually use the vouchers instead since it is cheaper.

Despite that, Nintendo has the physical market in lock with these releases, you won't see these numbers on launch often knowadays unless it's from Monster Hunter hahaha

I thought that Nintendo always reports sold as shipped. Any PR that they specifically say sellthrough or sold to consumers?

On their financial reports they report shipped because that is what matters for finances.

Outside of that they talk about sold, meaning how many actually sold. So whenever they mention launch sales they are talking about launch sales, not just how much they shipped for the launch.

Of course, but Nintendo usually doesn't differentiate from the 2, so everyone has to assume sold= shipped. sony PR specifically says "sold to consumers", rather than "sold" to make sure people understand.

Sold means sold, otherwise they always say shipped and shipment. Where do you get that they don't differentiate between them.

Because any product that is sold to a retailer to be placed on a shelf to be sold to a customer is "sold", especially in Japan where there are no returns of unsold products like there are in some other countries.

PS5 is one week away from passing last year's total.
