Def thought TOTK would be over 20m by now. I wonder if it being $70 is at all a factor. Still great sales though all things considered.

I doubt the price is a big deal, I think expectations just got a little carried away after the huge opening quarter which had plenty of stock, it will sell strong over the holidays and throughout next year.

The game released during the middle of fiscal quarter 1 and had an extraordinary strong first week performance. Following that and considering the legs of other Nintendo heavy hitters, it's logical that retailers would stock up on plenty of physical copies. Now the game's legs didn't turn out to be as good as expected, so fiscal Q1 was inflated with plenty of physical copies still sitting on shelves. Fiscal Q2 is the correction for that.
This is similar to hardware shipments for holiday quarters which can be too high at times and are followed up by low hardware shipments in fiscal Q4. Tears of the Kingdom has remained in the top 15 of the European e-shop charts since its release, so digital sales have been steady; it's quite safe to assume that the same holds true in all other regions. But physical copies have caused a distortion of the true sales level, hence why I see no reason at all to doubt that TotK will hit at least 25m lifetime. The holiday quarter should push its LTD figure to over 21m already, so by the end of 2024 the game will have either cleared the 25m mark or be close to it. Switch games won't stop selling once the Switch successor has been launched.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
Another strong quarter and the fact it's still ahead of last FY is really impressive even if it's gonna fall behind later. The Switch is going out very gracefully.
| UnderwaterFunktown said: Considering how many were skeptical about the 15m forecast at first there shouldn't really be any doubt they can reach it now with nearly 7m shipped in two non-holiday quarters. The real question is how much they can beat it by. |
I think something like this 3.91 + 2.93 + 6.90 + 2.51 = 16.25 million, also that 185 million FY software forecast is to low and i think software will be really close to 200 million.

Pikmin 4 is already the highest selling game in the series, after just over 2 months:

The Switch is actually UP YoY so far from last FY through the halfway point.
We'll see if Mario Wonder can provide a big enough boost to beat out the Scarlet/Violet one.
But I think Nintendo may end up beating their 15M forecast for this FY.
