Forums - Sales - Nintendo quarterly sales report to 31st March 2025; Switch at 152.12m shipped

I see the fixes to Scarlet and Violet have helped it certainly is a better game now then on release, a Switch 2 upgrade will help the game immensely overcome its performance issues considering what the upgrade does for the BOTW duo it could go on to hit 30m.

I'm just wondering where you got the numbers for Link's Awakening (you have it listed as 6.63 when I can only find 6.46) and Pokemon Legends Arceus (you have it at 15 when I can only find 14.83). 

From pierre485 on twitter, he got official leaked numbers from those two games as of June 30th, 2023.

Do you think the Switch can perform, in the current fiscal year, sales like DS' FY7 (March-June: 1.44M, Jul-Sep: 1.14M, Oct-Dec: 2.06M, Jan-Mar: 0.46M)? It would pass the 4.5M forecast number quite a bit

Well 4.5M seems a bit low, i think between 5 and 6 million is likely.

At the end of the day, Switch is likely going to end up with three games over 40 million in sales, six games over 30 million, and eleven games over 20 million.

Absolutely insane performance from first party software this gen.

For comparison's sake, DS had three games over 20 million, (one over 30) and Wii had seven over 20 million. (Four over 30)

Honestly if the successor has software sales that can even rival with it's predecessor in some capacity, it would already be a victory for them.

Switch 2 hardware will be sold at around the break-even point. That can be deducted from the forecasted significant increase in revenue, but only modest increase in operating profit.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

True, but could also be caused by a significant increase in marketing expenses to launch the new model.

No ad during the Super Bowl means they already saved half of the marketing cost overall lol

I cannot believe Nintendo Switch Sports has passed the 16 million sales without adding boxing.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Yeah it has done remarkably well.

I think it goes to show that a lot of people remember the Wii fondly and miss these kind of games, whether because they were a kid during that generation and are now an adult with disposable income, or just cos Wii Sports parties were something that really brought people together back in the day.
