After checking the preorder stock for the new Pokémon Bundle, I can say Nintendo actually has a TON of units on the way for the holiday season.

Something fun to note is that eBay charges you 15% of the sale price, plus shipping costs. So if you sell a Switch 2 for $600, you'll end up getting $510 after fees. Then subtract shipping, let's say just $20, and your net is $490. But don't forget you paid taxes on the original $450 system (assuming 5%), bringing your cost to $472.50. In the end, those scalpers are only pocketing about $20+ for all that effort—haha!

Yeah, Nintendo keeps the supply pretty good which keeps the prices scalpers can ask for somewhat in check.

Interesting thread.
Atm, I don't think Switch 2 can reach +160M. That said, it's way too soon to make a call.

I predicted Switch 1 to make 80-90M ( Just a little ahead of 3DS), i was wrong by alot. Let's see what Switch 2 can do.

The Japanese market is off to a fantastic start. Nintendo has always done really well in NA, especially the States, now if Nintendo can figure out Europe that is where they can really shine with the NS2 and break potential records.

7mil in 9w is unbelievable. I can’t imagine how strong the system will be selling with a new 3D/2D Mario, Animal Crossing, Zelda, Pokémon, Smash Bros, etc.

Also(!), I have a theory: In order to maintain strong demand throughout the life of NS2, instead of pushing out every system seller right at the start of the gen (unlike what they did for NSW), Nintendo plans to gradually release heavy-hitters throughout the generation. E.g. 3D Mario and Luigi’s Mansion in 2026, Animal Crossing and Splatoon in 2027, Pokémon and Smash Bros in 2028, Zelda and 2D Mario in 2029, etc. Seeing how successful this strategy was in 2023 with TotK & Mario Wonder sending hardware figure well above fiscal targets, if this is Nintendo’s intention, then it very well could be the case that not only NS2 will have a stronger start than NSW, but also stronger legs as well (excluding FY21/22). That said, maybe this is a stretch, but 140-170mil territory looks to be where NS2 is heading. I’m not sure if it’s possible for a system to soar above 170mil…but only time will tell. Price hikes will also complicate things a little bit.

I noticed some of the numbers had been adjusted for July, so I went back and made all the changes.

August sales have also been added. Switch 2 is widening the gap.

Launch aligned figures (Global totals).

Progress bar to 162 million has also been updated.

New poll has just been added. Old poll closed and put on page 1.

At the rate Switch 2 is selling, it will be passing the lifetime sales of the Xbox Series consoles next year. Which month?
