It looks like Pokemon Pokopia is proving to be a system seller, with reports of a 154% boost to Switch 2 hardware in the UK this past month:

Yowzah!

That's a BIG boost in the UK.

Makes me wonder what France, Germany, rest of Europe, and the US March numbers will look like.

That`s a really good sign that sales rose all around the world... since UK is one of Nintendo's weakest markets.

Let's hope Pokopia is enough to hold Switch 2's baseline high enough until the summer games arrive.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Whilst this is true, I feel like switch 2 has been better received than switch 1 here. It's selling at and continues to sell at, a faster pace than switch 1.

Having a very popular game available on your console is good PR.

There was no backlash or scandal to Witcher 3 or Doom 2016 having downgraded Switch 1 versions, the notion that a Switch 2 port of GTA6 would be some kind of "black eye" for Nintendo is ridiculous.

Whilst this is true, I feel like switch 2 has been better received than switch 1 here. It's selling at and continues to sell at, a faster pace than switch 1.

Isn't this post you're quoting from the GTA6 thread, not this one?
