that’s a bit of a stretch lol. Trunks is saying more that there was a new “*mainline*” MarioKart on NSW, which is true.
Are PS5's being discounted until the end of the year?
We could be looking at a 10M+ quarter if that's the case. Sony's going to exceed their current FY projection (15M) unless the PS5 really underperforms for the holidays.

IDK about 10m quarter. The discounts are big in EU but USA hasn't had as good deals. I don't think USA will be up YoY.
The discounts are till the 18th in the UK.
With the PS5 potentially getting another price increase down the line due to what's going on with RAM it's good they're focusing on selling as many as they can right now. If they have enough stockpiled to last until the end of next year then that would be ideal since a price increase in 2027 wouldn't matter much.

The reality of what is happening with Nintendo and Europe is very similar to what Sony previously went through in Japan, a slow decline in interest which led Sony to prioritize other markets, this is the exact same situation for Nintendo in Europe. The main reason why Nintendo is now focusing on Asian expansion is that they know that Europe is a declining market for them and they need a bigger foothold in the growing Asian markets to somewhat replace the European market. Early shipment numbers from ''other regions'' sales of Switch 2 show that those sales are already very competitive with European sales for the Switch 2, so it seems Nintendo will be fairly succesful in pivoting to other markets. We see this clearly from Nintendo's last earnings report; They reported 2,4M Switch 2 sales in Europe vs 1,93M Switch 2 sales in other regions (outside Japan, Europe and North America), it has never happened previously that other regions are so close to European sales. Which shows that the pivot really is happening for Nintendo. The reality is that Nintendo these days sell more Switch 2 consoles in Korea than they do in a lot of European countries, and China is probably a bigger market for them than UK already as well. |
You are going really overboard with this. You realize the Switch 2 is currently outpacing the Switch 1 in Europe and that three of the top 5 best selling consoles ever in Europe are Nintendo ones right? I don't expect it to keep outpacing the Switch 1 long term but it's really likely it'll outsell the Wii and PS1 there while you're acting like it's doing Xbox numbers. Saying it's a declining market for them when the Switch 1 is gonna become their 2nd best selling console ever there and the Switch 2 is currently outpacing it is absurd. They're literally doing the best they've done in Europe since the Wii and DS days.

The point is, that if Nintendo sells 19-20M Switch 2 consoles this fiscal year, Europe will make up around 4M of that number. Which means that European sales paint a very small picture of Switch 2 global sales. Its important to point this out because fairly soon when Nintendo drops their next earnings report everyone on gaming forums will be chocked by Switch 2 sales, because they think Europe plays a more important role when it comes to Switch 2 sales than it does in reality.
No wonder a console can sell really well if it's not priced as to abuse consumers, huh?

I feel like I only ever hear negativity coming from you. Why not be more positive for a change? :)

Maybe try hearing a bit more.
Can't be blamed by you building your own version of me.
As far as I remember, some of my last posts here in this forums were some plain sales predictions, bringijg news of improvements on the Dualsense, being extremely happy with Tokon beta, trying to help someone with a Switch 2 problem, being sad with companies trying to consolidate even further, being happy about you making potential friends in your own thread about Christianity, giving my mind about someone not buying a gun to end himself in a thread he made about the world turning to shit and he potentally losing his job, etc.
I'm one to try to be realistic, and to be happy with sharing passion, and even helping, until otherwise provoked.
But I'm not one to be happy with being slapped with the left hand and later being offered the right hand to get up. Nor to be happy about people being assholes or disingenuous.
You can see it here as well, even as your post was personally provocative when nothing from me was aimed at you, and I could just type the first two sentences and let it go, here I am giving some content to help you as a simple profile search could do as well.
:)

It'll be above 19-20m but either way that would be higher than the amount of Switch 1's shipped to Europe in its first 9 months so why are you being so negative about how the Switch 2 is doing there? It's objectively selling well there so far. And I quite doubt people will be shocked by its performance in Europe but we'll see.

Oops! Doesn’t seem like you took that message too well. I’m sorry dude :( I can see how my previous message may have come off a bit rude/provocative. I guess I was basing that comment off my previous interactions with you, i.e. (i) complaining about Pokémon Legends Z-A DLC being revealed prior to launch and (ii) you’re vocalness in condemning GF for choosing GKC for Pokopia.
(though you could certainly still benefit from just a biiiiit less negativity. :) No point in getting so worked up over such little things like the cost of your gaming box (esp if you have already purchased it) …btw the smiley face isn’t intended to be disingenuous, but is to make my hopefully message come off a little more friendly.)
