SUSPENSE
Could Nintendo have shipped more NS units than what their forecast dictates to expect?

Here's hoping!!

It should be out in a little over 20 minutes. I'll get the breakdown article written up once it drops.

Switch 2 should hit around 6.5-8.5mil, if VGChartz estimated sales data is worth going off of. PS5 will be in the same ballpark. Hard to call which will have shipped more though.

Edit: NS2 (7.5mil), PS5 (8.5mil), NS1 (1.3mil). I'm locking it in!

NS1 was spot on, but NS2 was a tad bit overestimated (7.01mil v. 7.5mil). I’m pleased with my analysis here. :)

Switch- 2.1 million
Switch 2- 9 million
PS5- 9.1 million

Yeah, I was way off.

Hopefully my PS5 estimate is closer to the official numbers.

I'll say between 8.5-9.5 with PS5.

Well, it appears I was optimistic by 0.3-0.5mil on NS2 and PS5. NS1 I was right on the money. In any case: Goes to show how accurate VGChartz estimates are. I was able to come pretty darn close with my predictions here based solely on VGChartz data.

I looked up to see when the next earnings report from Nintendo will be, but no luck. Guess we need to wait until three months later. I don't know, I'm not usually up to date about these reports.
