Forums - Sales - Switch 2 sales jump 154% in the UK in March

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:

Pokopia! Mega hit made by omegaforce - koei tecmo is truly moving some numbers, surpassing all expectation! Impressive.



Yowzah!

That's a BIG boost in the UK.

Makes me wonder what France, Germany, Spain, 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.

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



I have no idea how that happened 🤣🤣

Fixed it now lol

I always hated sales as a percent. 154% of 10 is much different number than 154% of 100,000,000.

*not directed at Curl, just my first thought.

I made a comment in another thread, the S2's hardware shouldn't be hit as hard as Sony's, the ram is much slower for Nintendo thus AI centers are not as interested.  If Nintendo can maintain a $450 price compared to Sony's $650, get some mainline games out and get new third-party releases....  the S2 will eat the ps5 for breakfast.  

Perhaps I am overstating, but I think that $650 is back breaking, I don't see many going for it.  Not when food, gas, housing, interest rate, etc. are all high.

I think based on comments from Chris Dring Switch 2 was just about outselling PS5 this year so far, so march should be a rough 50% boost in its favour. Still not a number but some context.

It does help and does offer context, because numbers can be approximated against ps5 sales.
