[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Dayum, almost 1M Switch 2 units sold!

 

[LakeOf9]

Hey, PS5 finally outsold the Switch!

 

[Kacho]

What a fucking kaiju.

 

[LordOcidax]

Holy Shit…

 

[Woopah]

Way higher Switch 2 and Mario Kart numbers than I expected. But pretty terrible software numbers outside of that.

 

[KINGMOKU]

Dayum, almost 1M Switch 2 units sold!

These numbers do not include my Nintendo store, so it is absolutely over 1million+, and is the biggest launch of any videogame console ever.

 

[daclynk]

Oh Shit Japan is Dead

 

[Fake]

Japan is brutal with Nintendo. Damn.

 

[onQ123]

See you in 10 years when Mario Kart World is still on the charts

[Kotaro]

Why is Switch still selling?

 

[LordOcidax]

The Switch 2 doesn't have a big game for launch… They said…

 

[KINGMOKU]

Why is Switch still selling?

This is exactly why I have stated emphatically that the Switch 1 will absolutely become the best selling videogame console of all-time. Just the inventory alone will do it. Now its up to Nintendo to see just how high it goes.

 

[BennyBlanco]

 

[LordOcidax]

Why is Switch still selling?

And is not going to stop for probably the next two years in Japan.

 

[Topher]

3.5 million sold in four days and nearly 1 million of that is just in Japan? Is that right?

 

[LordOcidax]

3.5 million sold in four days and nearly 1 million of that is just in Japan? Is that right?

Probably ~1.2 Million in Japan including the Nintendo store sales and ~2.3 Million for the rest of the world.

 

[Robb]

The Switch 2 doesn't have a big game for launch… They said…

That was always crazy talk, but even despite that this is waaaay more than I would've though Mario Kart World would do over there.

Looks like another gen of absolute Nintendomination in Japan.

This shattered my prediction

Don't read too much into it

Don’t read too much into the PS4’s million day-one sales

A strong launch is nice, but it doesn’t necessarily imply long-term success.

There is nothing to "read" into. The numbers are the numbers.

Edit: PS4? Maybe I didn't get the joke

 

[TAS]

The King (that never left) is back!

 

[swaffles23]

Will the PS2 remain the best selling console of all time now? Those Switch 1 numbers dropped off a cliff

I was about to say it went over your head but I see the edit

 

[Mr Moose]

Stellar Blade doing well on Steam, Switch 2 950k and even PS5 with a bit of a bump.

 

[Topher]

yeah....humor doesn't register for me until I hit that third cup of coffee. Apologies

 

[LordOcidax]

Actually no.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Consoles are dead am i right?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

 

[GigaBowser]

perdicded lunch sales

 

[IAmRei]

i wonder digital sales of MKW

 

[VGA-Games]

Awesome!

Let's Go Nintendo

 

[skyfinch]

Omg, Series X DE does what PS4 don't.

 

[leo-j]

totally deserved hoping it destroys every sales record, healthy console sales will keep the industry strong, and it will push competitors (sony) to step it up.

 

[Saber]

Shocker...that Mario Kart will reign supreme in their market for a very long time.

 

[LordOcidax]

To put this on perspective, by this week the Switch 2 has probably outsold the PS5 DE and the PS5 Pro LTD sales combined… And the Xbox Series in just 4 days.

 

[Woopah]

i wonder digital sales of MKW

The numbers here include the bundle. I imagine standalone digital sales of the game would be fairly low.

 

[Labadal]

Great Switch 2 numbers, but dang, where are the software sales other than MKW?

 

[GigaBowser]

Great Switch 2 numbers, but dang, where are the software sales other than MKW?

aint nobody care bout no old aaa action ports in jarpan

 

[Scrawnton]

I'm starting to think the $80 Mario Kart was to subsidized the massively stocked discounted Japanese only Switch 2. No way Nintendo was gonna sell millions of Switch 2s that cheap without recouping the costs somewhere.

From the rest of the world, you're welcome.

Great Switch 2 numbers, but dang, where are the software sales other than MKW?

Where's the new software other than MKW? Switch 2 needs a direct and some new games asap. And I say this as someone who owns two Switch 2s in my house.

 

[Kurt]

It's nice to see that even with the switch 2 release, switch 1 sales didn't drop that much. Lets see how long it could hold.

 

[leo-j]

this is also big because I am sure sony and others think the japan market has been taken over by PC/mobile, the fact the switch 2 just obliterated every sales expectation says otherwise. Although I am not arguing sony have not been agressive in japan with Monster hunter, Resident evil, silent hill, etc they def moved the foot off the accelerator post ps4 era world wide.

 

[Kabelly]

splatoon 3 just got a nice resolution and framerate update. console is going to sell 2 million more.

 

[SamuraiEdge]

Japan is Nintendo Land.

 

[IAmRei]

The numbers here include the bundle. I imagine standalone digital sales of the game would be fairly low.

i once heard from devs on tokyo game show, it could be 50 50, but he might be wrong though

 

[leo-j]

Will the PS2 remain the best selling console of all time now? Those Switch 1 numbers dropped off a cliff

depends on nintendo tbh, their systems typically stop selling after the new one launches, BUT the switch is a different monster. They have never sold 152 M consoles, but if you look at DS-3DS there was a super steep drop.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

947K is pretty good. That makes up about 30% of total units worldwide.

Also a roughly 82% attach rate for Mario Kart World!

 

[Scrawnton]

*Nintendo sells 155m Switch systems and is easily on track to be the best selling system of all time*

Japanese 3rd Parties: "well, we will just have to wait and see if Switch 2 is a success before supporting it. Give them some super late port scraps. There's no telling how it will do."

*Nintendo Switch 2 sells 3.5m in four days damn near tripling the last record*

Japanese 3rd Parties: "well shit...."
