And the system is still available for a public pick-up and shipping starting from tomorrow (Fnac). Great stock management from Nintendo. Summer is coming, I don't see this slowing down.
 
Damn, if Nintendo can sell these sort of numbers with zero third party support, imagine what they would sell if any game at all was actually ported to the console.
 
I like the widespread adoption, we'll probably get loads of third party games again.
What i hate is that Nintendo can get away so easily with their ridiculous prices. They'll just keep raising them.

70 million people and only 200k bought switch 2, step it up France. Do better.

Too busy with their wine and cheese.
 
Will Switch 2 be the first console in history that sells bonkers at the same time third parties compete with each other in who can announce the fewest games for it?
 
Again, I'm 100% sure that they will sell out literally as many as they can stuff the channel with during these launch weeks.

Irony that even Square Enix is snubbing Switch 2 hard by prioritizing Xbox.

I mean its one of 2-3 third party games coming to Switch 2, so a win i guess for Nintendo?

Do we really need to crow about Switch 2 failures? Switch 2 haters have already won, Switch 2 won't get third party support so all your dreams is being fulfilled as we speak.

Cyberpunk is probably like one of the few AAA games that will be available on Switch 2 (Even if its a PS4 AAA game), so they will probably get most of the AAA sales on Switch 2 the entire generation. Pretty impressive.

I mean it would be a waste of money for Nintendo to make a more up to date Switch 2, there would still be no third party announcements and Nintendo would just sit there with an incredibly expensive Switch 2 on the shelves and 1-2 third party games announced for it during the whole SGF weekend.

Switch 2 is launching outside of the holiday month and breaking the record. Some gaffers here predicted Switch to launch around Wii U numbers, but we got a new record instead.

Mario Kart World + Switch 2 = Winning combination
 
200,000 idiots. If only they had read the thread on here about Harry Potter using TEH LAST GEN ASSETS instead of throwing their money away.
 
France is Nintendo territory, the Switch 1 is the best selling console of all time here. Switch 2 is going to follow suit.
People are really comparing this launch with the PS5?

Yeah people are comparing with the previous record, there is no need to be upset.

From the same insider on twitter

"70% sales were MKW bundle"
"25% out of 30% normal edition Switch 2 buyers bought MKW alongside the system."
"PS5 PRO life-to-date sales haven't reached 10k yet."

Mario Kart World is a beast

People are really comparing this launch with the PS5? An extremely supply constrained release, which ended up in all the scalpers hands.

The scalpers initial purchases still go towards the total. Plus the PS5 has been easily available for ages now and it's still pretty much on par with the PS4.

I mean...it was true though? Let's not try and re-write history now. This was well reported back then. Those new consoles had terrible launches during the first Covid year. Scalpers made money out of the PS5 well until 2023. A quick google search can point you in the right direction if you can't remember.
