Switch software is thriving even at this late stage; Mario doing amazingly is expected, but Pikmin is really punching above its weight.
Even with hardware slowing down, above 4 million for year 7 is in reach which would be a great result.



XtremeBG on 14 December 2023

Next year for Switch I expect moderate decline. The sort of 20-30k weekly, And I think something between 2M - 2.5M for the year.



My sales comparison threads:

Ultimate Showdowns: JP 2023 / JP 2024 / 2024 / 2023 / 2022 / 2021

Lifetime Showdown / Historical Showdown / YOY Charts

The_Liquid_Laser on 14 December 2023

Looks like Switch is going to end the year around 4M or so.  That is a very strong year even if holiday sales are weaker than expected.

Software sales look great though.  Mario Wonder, Momotaro, and Pikmin 4 all look like they are doing extremely well this week.



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

Avatar does not surprise me. It seems in Japan, gamers don't like first person games much.

This is true, although I'm hoping that the game can have legs. Both in Japan and elsewhere. Honestly it felt like Ubi stealth launched it, especially with all the late review codes. I feel like people's actual experience with the game is much more favourable & awareness will grow over time.
