Nintendo made around $4 billion in profits in 2023.

Also good to point out that according to Nintendo's shipments, the Switch has shipped 33.28 Million units in Japan pretty much making it the bestselling console of all time in Japan at this point even if Famitsu's numbers are lower. All Nintendo has to do is sell-through that shipment for it to hold that title for sell through units. But in shipments it officially has surpassed the DS in Japan

Hardware sales were essentially flat in Japan (from 3.82M down to 374M); Europe and Americas down roughly 15%; Other up by ~15%

Despite total sales being down in most regions, in all of them the amount of OLED systems went up compared to last year. Also, apart from the Americas, where it's slighly down, sales of the Lite went up, too. In other words, most of the sales losses are from the base model as customers switched (ha!) to the other models.

Funnily enough, there seems to be a conversion error in the chart, as they give 4 Billion of consolidated net sales in US$, but only 2.2 Billion in €

First quarter sales:
New Super Mario Bros Wii: 10.55m
Super Mario Bros Wonder: 11.96m

Also based on this, the Switch needs to ship 4M more units to Europe to even consider being in the running for #4 in sales.

#1 PS2 55.28M sold
#2 NDS 51.84M sold
#3 PS4 45.87M sold
#4 GBA/GBC 40.05M sold
#5 Switch 36.05M shipped, 35.06M sold

Super Mario Bros Wonder Sell-trough: "over 10.70M"

Though for context Mario Wonder had huge advantages in this comparison. Mario Wonder basically had an extra month on sale and launched to a system with double the install base (65m vs 130m). Was hoping for a bit better as Mario Wonder is far better than any NSMB game in my opinion.

Switch hardware sales are a little better than expected and 15.5m should be an easy target to reach.

Not quite an extra month; 23 days. NSMBWii did have a smaller install base, yes, but it also launched in Wii's prime where Wonder launched in the Switch's twilight.

It's not a 1:1 comparison, but it does put things in perspective.

NSMB Wii had a staggered launch. Nov 15 in USA, Nov 20 in EU and Dec 3 in Japan. So slightly less than a month in USA, a month in EU and 2 weeks more than a month advantage in Japan for Wonder. Prime/Twilight should effect legs not launch sales though. ToTK is basically the fastest selling switch game along with Pokémon SV and that only came out a bit before Wonder.

The sales are good, it's just not anything like the boost other series have enjoyed on Switch. While a lot of Series have had their best selling title on the Switch (Zelda, AC, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party) it doesn't look like Wonder will compete with NSMB Wii/DS LTD figures to me.

Saying a title with 10m+ sales in a little over 2 months underperformed doesn't sit right. But I understand saying it didn't quite reach as high as they had expected/hoped.

For those that remember Tbone and his "bold predictions". He predicted 20m shipped first quarter. I don't know if we had a prediction thread on this site but Installbase users for example greatly overestimated Mario Wonder.

Great sales for mario wonder. Totk really fell off interms on momentum will be interesting if mario wonder follows the same path.
