Way higher Switch 2 and Mario Kart numbers than I expected. But pretty terrible software numbers outside of that.
 
Why is Switch still selling? :messenger_tears_of_joy:
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.
 
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.

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.
 
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.

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.

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
*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...."
