PS4 and PS5 sold 4.5 million in two months, from what I remember, and they were the previous record holder for best console launch

 

[Vaquilla]

But that can't be, the internet told me there was no demand, that it was overpriced and nobody wanted one

 

[GigaBowser]

ohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohohoho peoples doobted the spirit of gaming can retires now unbeet he saved gaming the spirit of gaming they wills say

game over

 

[Sanepar]

Biggest launch ever?

 

[nial]

Great to see a healthy competitive scene in the console market.

 

[havoc00]

 

[DaleinCalgary]

HUGE

I decided against it.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Yeah but it was 3m on day 1, so only 500k since then? Demand has fallen off a cliff.

 

[blacktout]

So safe to say that Mario Kart is well over two million then.

I wonder if CDPR will make a PR tweet when Cyberpunk crosses 1 million on the Switch 2. They can't be too far off, judging by the sales charts.

 

[GermanZepp]

So.. 319 million in a year. Impressive.

switch 2 derstoy record

 

[Jacobson]

quickly guys, we have to move the goalposts!!

 

[Draugoth]

The PS5 took 1 month to ship 3.4 million, Nintendo did it in 4 days.

PS5 was severely supply constrained because of the pandemic though

 

[daclynk]

Its going to be a great Gen for Nintendo.

[Buggy Loop]

The few haters..

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

You are joking, but the sales trajectory is going to be very interesting.

 

[ReBurn]

Is that good?

 

[mckmas8808]

So how long will it take for the video game podcasters to tell us consoles are dead and hardware is a thing of the past?

Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Numbers Are Reportedly Breaking Historic Records

The Nintendo Switch 2 is reportedly breaking sales records in just the first few days of its lifespan, at least according to industry insiders.

gamerant.com

Yeah I was thinking that

 

[yogaflame]

Good for Nintendo. Congratulations. Im sure Japan carried much of the percentage. I might get one next year. Just to many backlogs on Ps5 and so many good upcoming games which my budget is already alloted.

 

[Amin_Parker]

Congratulations Nintendo. The Nintendo Switch 2 is most definitely destined for success.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

But that can't be, the internet told me there was no demand, that it was overpriced and nobody wanted one

That's all internet talk … the console has been sold out in all major markets the day after it released.

Been trying to get a console for a friend and it's been sold out everywhere.

 

[GigaBowser]

hatters

Is that good?

best ever by a milions miles

they already move on from that talking point. The new spin will be: "Closed ecosystems BAD".

 

[poppabk]

I think I will trust UK estimated sales numbers rather than this nintendo guy whoever he is.

 

[Codes 208]

quickly, someone check in on the haters in the I HOPE THE SWITCH 2 FAILS HARD thread.

We gotta make sure theyre ok

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

That's might be the case for Xbox but not for Sony or Nintendo lol

 

[Unknown Soldier]

But but GAF told me Nintendo and Sony aren't competitors so why are you mentioning the PS4 and PS5 OP?!?!?!??!?!

 

[Rentahamster]

Good job, Nintendo.

 

[GigaBowser]

I think I will trust UK estimated sales numbers rather than this nintendo guy whoever he is.

nintendos announced it ahahahahaha game over

 

[Power Pro]

But that can't be, the internet told me there was no demand, that it was overpriced and nobody wanted one

I was told it was the next Wii U. This is just early adopter buzz. Demand will die down. lol

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Funny how the price didn't have much affect lol well deserved, it's a nice system

 

[Vaquilla]

I was told it was the next Wii U. This is just early adopter buzz. Demand will die down. lol

I remember when people said this about Switch 1 in 2017 lmao

 

[TGO]

You are joking, but the sales trajectory is going to be very interesting.

This is me right now..

we had the thread right here on GAF saying it sold 3m in 24 hours.
now it's 3.5m in 4 days
Numbers are still good but I don't see the joke here...

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

I remember when people said this about Switch 1 in 2017 lmao

It's just because there's way more jobless losers out there especially online, anyone with real jobs doesn't sweat 500 bucks for a console that'll give them litrelly thousands upon thousands of hours of enjoyment.

 

[Ailike]

Imagine how many it would be if they had the initial supply meet demand.

 

[poppabk]

nintendos announced it ahahahahaha game over

 

[Ceadeus]

The moment you pick it up you know it's the real deal. Such a good system , anything else looks boring

 

[kevboard]

I think this is mostly thanks to supply. I bet the Switch 1 could have had a similar launch if they had enough supply on launch day, but Nintendo at that time weren't as sure that they can sell out as they were now with the Switch 2, so they produced a shitload more

 

[M.W.]

 

[Kataploom]

Sure third parties won't be interested in publishing on it

 

[scydrex]

I read here in GAF it sold 3 million in 24hr. What happened?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

This is me right now..

we had the thread right here on GAF saying it sold 3m in 24 hours.
now it's 3.5m in 4 days
Numbers are still good but I don't see the joke here...

I dont think the 24hrs statement had any backing.
