They reached their original 10 month Switch 2 estimate (15M units) after only 7 months - in sell-through. With an additional 2.37M to boot when counting sell-in. All despite a, supposedly, "stumbling" holiday season..

No change in the forecast either, so it seems to be on pace to reach the revised 19M forecast by March. Might even beat it, which is pretty insane.

Great performance. MKW with family and friends has been an absolute blast, I just hope they patch the XC games soon.. Apparently, legends z-a sold more than 12 million as well. That is not a shocker, but it goes to show that vocal youtube hate and middling critical reception does not always equate to less sales.
 
So in 6 months it outperformed the wii u with like an additional 30~% to spare

Daaayum. At this rate itll eclipse the xbox series in just another year or two.
 
Oh no no no no no! I need an explanation from you guys

you SWORE to me that after a good launch sales slowed down and no one wanted a Switch 2 anymore. But the numbers clearly say that not only Nintendo will hit their 19 million target by March, most likely they will surpass it. I bet all my savings on the Switch 2 flopping what am I gonna do now? You're gonna pay for this!

First time they just updated their main console and it's a huge success. From now on we will see Switch 3, 4, 5… Has Nintendo's creativity died?
 
Sell-through units are 15 million according the financial report?

The official number that is reported is always sell-in, since that's what Nintendo themselves have sold. We rarely get the sell-through data. I assume they're providing it now only because the numbers are so high.

When they adjusted their forecasts up to 19 mil from 15 mil it was pretty apparent that this thing was beating everyone's expectations. Nintendo does stupid shit all the time, but they wouldn't be adjusting numbers up to come up short if they weren't extremely confident.

Anyone still think it's not hitting 100m+?

I originally thought 80-100m lifetime, but unless the RAM/GPU stuff and the global economy take a massive dive, it's hard to not see it get over 100.
 
Now imagine how crazy the sales would have been if there was actually something worth playing on the Switch 2

The wii u crawled so the switch could walk and the switch 2 could run.

Wii U didn't even get to crawl, it was born and then immediately attacked by wolves and angry cavemen with spiked clubs.

Switch 2 seems to have flown out of the womb by comparison.

Pretty incredible.

I remember the hype around Switch 1, with it's launch with Zelda and excitement around Super Mario Odyssey which was releasing shortly afterwards. Seemed unstoppable then.

Switch 2, didn't have the same launch titles and no word on the next Mario yet, and to still have these kind of numbers is hard to make sense of. Looking forward to their next direct.. please have a new Mario!

Not sales-wise but more of functionality. The wii u was more like an in-between for the wii and switch (with the switch basically being a fully dedicated wii u gamepad with detachable controllers that also act similarly to wiimotes)

Not so sure some on here actually thought it would stop based on any real evidence, Spain excluded !!.... they simply hoped it would stop lol..
