If you could have picked up your PS2 and took it with your portably it would be a more decent comparison. The switch is both a handheld and a home console and should be measured as such.
Don't think so. Usually numbers on 3rd party game sales are released by their respective publishers.
Pretty sure it’s only first party stuff. For 3rd party you’d have to check each companies earnings report and if they specify anything outside of totals.
Every consoles sales are due to its hardware and software features. It epxlains the hardware sales but it doesn't change how we measure it sales, just like being a DVD player doesn't change how we measure PS2 sales, or being a Blu Ray player doesn't change how we measure PS3 sales.
Nintendo can only reveal numbers for games that they themselves publish. All we know is that there weren't any third party games which sold 1 million on Switch in the quarter. Which isn't surprising given the third party releases that quarter.

Lifetime sales, in 2-3 years PS5 would hit a 100 million.
It dropped at the peak of Switch hype, and was one of the first big 3rd parties to do it. Had gyro control options as well as a few Zelda items and was featured in Nintendo Direct. I think it did well, as you said.
This should be a thread.
26 games but 1/3rd of the entire series sales are from the last 2 gamesZelda series now over 150 million
- BotW was a dual release and includes 1.70 million units sold by the Wii U version
- TP was a dual release and includes 1.43 million units sold by the Gamecube version
Nintendo sells games and hardware to make money, ms and sony sells subs and microtransactions
Long live the Pareto Distribution.26 games but 1/3rd of the entire series sales are from the last 2 games
Nintendo Online is actually more aggressive. Only sub to have many games only available on it, and not for purchase.
The thirst in 2020 for Animal Crossing was real. "Stay at home but still go outside".Bar Charts for software and hardware
There’s possibility this year could be 3rd highest year!
It's a gaming device first and foremost, that's what counts. Or how do we measure ps2 sales? For it being a game console or DVD player?
By bunching Sony with MS and elevating Nintendo (even though they are third place in revenue every year), it minimizes how bad MS looks compared to PS/Nintendo.
Highly unlikely: holiday season coming up with a bunch of new Mario games.
It would be very very unlikely for Switch to finish the year up YoY hardware wise. Things are indeed slowing down.
Yea I'll take Sony busniess model anyday over Nintendo. I enjoy Sony's games more. Microtransactions and subs are optional. While if you are on a Nintendo console nothing is optional. You have no option for better hardware, games that are 10 years old are still 60$, while on Sony platform I can get 2 year old games for 10-20$. Getting a switch just to be functional home console will cost you as much as a ps5 digital cause you need a pro controller and sd card and the hardware are leagues apart in power.
That's when Nintendo will play the 'price-cut' card. They haven't had a need to do that yet, seven years into this monster's life.
Closer to 110+. It hit 100M when 360 released.
Wikipedia says over 24mn were sold in Asia after 2007. I would have to think they found new markets. That it wasn't just Japan. I don't know tho.
Lol, what game is this?
There is a small disclaimer to that though, both Sony and Microsoft consider 100% of third party software sales as their own revenue even though they only keep 30% of third party software revenue. Nintendo only considers their 30% cut as their revenue, Playstation would still make more revenue than Nintendo if they only considered 30% of third party software as their's but the gap wouldn't be as big.
Where is this from? That does not even sound legal when it comes to earnings reports.
Those days are long gone.
It comes from the Nintendo accounts themselves. They have a paragraph explaining it.
