That's insane. IF true of course.For perspective, no console has come close to that level of sales in 24 hours. Over a 24 hour launch, the previous record was held by PS4, which sold just over 1m units worldwide.
Problem they have imo is they released a lot of wii and wii u games on the switch to pad out the first party stuff.I really hope we don't get arrogant Nintendo this gen. They need to provide plenty of great exclusives in combination with strong third-party support. If they do that I think this could very well become my favourite Nintendo console, perhaps even rivaling PS2.
It's the lastest of generations.Only shills give a shit about this last gen console obviously.
ship waaaaaay lessDidn't Japan alone have 2.2 million pre-orders? Even if only 1.5 million of those sold, achieving 1.5 million or more globally wouldn't be that difficult.
According to some reports only ~1.2 million were available for the Japan market at launch.Didn't Japan alone have 2.2 million pre-orders? Even if only 1.5 million of those sold, achieving 1.5 million or more globally wouldn't be that difficult.

That info is incorrect, it did 1M in US, it never launched WW at the same time.That's insane. IF true of course.
Was always going to sell gangbusters unless you listen to chumps on gaf like this one:It's the lastest of generations.
Seems like a good result if true, no? I heard on X this console flopped and had a muted launch.
Nobody apart from shills give a shit about a last gen console releasing in 2025.
So many they had to double the player count in Mario Kart to cope.Yes but how many players ?
I hope we see a lot of games from Nintendo that have a gameplay time of 10-20 hours. That length often means that I have a much bigger desire to replay a game several times. When it's 50-60 like Ghost of Tsushima or BotW I feel one and done with them. I don't want less quality, just more unique and excellent games that are shorter so that Nintendo can release more during the gen.Problem they have imo is they released a lot of wii and wii u games on the switch to pad out the first party stuff.
I feel like that well is dry now outside of full blown remakes.
I think well see a lot of last gen third party ports filling the gaps and a lot less first party this time around.
No way we see a mainline Zelda until 2030 for example imo
Trust me when I tell you it's all downhill from here, my friends. Nintendo done fukked up with the Switch 2 launch.
Agree, specially when a new Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros comes out… Nintendo is really Doomed this time.Trust me when I tell you it's all downhill from here, my friends. Nintendo done fukked up with the Switch 2 launch.
Agreed. A quick level on Mario while taking a crap is what i want from this system.I hope we see a lot of games from Nintendo that have a gameplay time of 10-20 hours.

Of course, I know that even those games take time to produce, but it's better to get six shorter games during a two year period than two bigger games. Especially when it's for a handheld like the Switch 2, they shouldn't try to compete with Big Console like Microsoft and Sony. I want more shortburst handheld games than what I got with Switch One.

Hand cramps and carpal tunnel syndrome from 12 hours on Zelda is a pass from me.
Some would say they just shot themselves in the foot.Trust me when I tell you it's all downhill from here, my friends. Nintendo done fukked up with the Switch 2 launch.
Im not taking a shit in my front room you lunaticor you could.. you know....

I am expecting 1 week for a PR official announcement. This is free marketing.Nintendo probably won't say anything either way. When is the next quarterly financial report?
