More or less yeah
PS5 is like PS4 x5, XSX is XBO x10, XSX is XBO x3~4
Considering that PS4 was 50% faster than XBO

Japan alone is doing 100k or more every week…

It was -1 mil of Sw1 sales, +6 mil Sw2 sales, +4 mil Software sales
I roughly attributed increase in profit to increase in software sales so 6 mil Sw2 brought around the same profit as 1 mil of Sw1

5.8m is the sell-in for June (sold to retailers), more than 6m is sell-through after 7 weeks (sold by retailers to costumers).
So is not the same data, if we'd know the sell-in right now the number would be (probably lot) higher.

No, you're mixing shipped units and reported sell-through. They had likely already shipped a lot more than 6M by the same point they reached sell-through of 6M.

Unfortunately scalpers probably broke even because it does temporarily go out of stock. Hopefully Sony prevent a scalper shit show with the PS6.Best thing about this is that they're breaking these insane records while still maintaining availability.
Scalpers must have gotten screwed over in droves with this launch.

Was in GameStop yesterday buying a new switch 2 game and this lady and her kid came in wanting a switch 2. I fully expected them to be like "sorry, we're sold out." But they had two or three of each version.
Given how strong the sales are for this I was kinda surprised. Really happy they were able to get one though!

Probably close to 7M.

No he'll say Nintendo doesn't count cause they are in a specific market.

Depends on how much they can produce basically, since in lot of markets is sold-out. We'll only find in the next quarter I guess.

Or they can just make up on the lower hardware margins with strong 1P software sales...
...you know, the thing they're doing already with MK World and DK Bananza? Don't forget the accessories (which were increased in price to offset a console price increase).

Agree, but in Japan they sold around 250k the last two weeks, before that they were already above 6M. So for the rest of the world is not crazy another 400K.
The low profit margins of the Switch 2 actually shows that PS handheld is dead on arrival. Basically the Switch 2 cost 450$ and they are seemingly selling it at incredibly low margins. And this is even though they are using an ancient 8nm node for the Switch 2. Imagine how much a more modern PS handheld will cost, naturally making it hard for it to get a big install base. It will probably be dead on arrival in Japan due to the high yen price it will have, while Nintendo seemingly is selling the Switch 2 at a loss in Japan and making it up with software sales.

Wii U's next three quarters after launch were 0.39m, 0.16m and 0.30m. I think Switch 2 will be multiple millions higher.

It's probably there mostly to pale some of the reduced profits from Switch 2

Insane numbers, especially for a June release
Just wait until they release Pokemon bundle over the holidays
This will be the best selling console in history

Here you have one:
The data in the graph is real: literally almost 2/3 of the software sold for Switch 2 has been Mario Kart World, the rest of games and software had to split the remaining 3M units sold between all of them.
Imagine the face of the 3rd parties who released a game at launch, and if they will be willing to continue supporting it with more games or not.

This reporting only covers Nintendo. You'd have to check any future financial report from CD Project Red for that info.
I recall reading it was one of the best selling 3rd party launch titles, but I can't imagine it accounts for very much of those 8.67M software sales given that Mario Kart World alone makes up 5.63M of them.

At a cost as the bundle is more than the base console. It's cheaper than both the physical and digital retail versions but is still not totally free.

Less I would imagine as it would be more expensive. And at best exactly the same numbers.
Final Fantasy XVI basically sold a few hundred thousand copies when it was ported to PC, and that was basically a pretty recent game ported to PC (which has an enormously bigger user base than Switch 2). But i'm sure late ports to a new console with a minuscule user base should sell millions of copies by comparison.Here you have one:

And i'm sure the PS5 audience, which doesn't even buy new first party games like Death Stranding 2 would rush to buy a 10 year old Yakuza game with some added cutscenes at full price by their millions.
Mario Kart is a franchise capable of selling 70M+ copies on a single console, it can't be compared from a sales perspective to late ports of old and niche games with low sales potential.

The beauty of Nintendo is they're in a situation/market where they're literally competing with absolutely nobody. They deserve huge props to be able to carve a space out for themselves in this way. Others have come before and failed miserably.
Very curious to see how fast it'll take Switch 2 to overtake all the other consoles. It'll probably be by far the #1 wishlisted gaming product this fall.

When CDPR complains, I'll be concerned. Fuck off until then.Here you have one:

You mean doing 1/3 of WiiU's lifetime sales in the first 6 weeks?

Third parties will need more data. It would like if Capcom based their support for Xbox Series on how well the DMC V port sold.Here you have one:

It's just as weird as how some people tried to equate "plentiful stock" with "poor sales" as if the ONLY way to measure good sales is if the product is constantly out of stock due to poor supplyBest thing about this is that they're breaking these insane records while still maintaining availability.
Scalpers must have gotten screwed over in droves with this launch.

Well, big 3rd parties have a lot of data. If not, doesn't matter: every quarter Nintendo shares the software sales and the percentage of them that are first party. That Switch 2 start wasn't a rare case:
Fuck off yourself. And well, CD Projekt was busy with other things to hurry to have a port for launch: pretty likely Nintendo paid them the port, and in this case they don't care about the sales and won't complain.

Yeah, but now we can see the regional split and know it did insanely well in every region - not just Japan. So that argument can be put to bed at least.
I'm sure at least one third-party will do its job: PlayStation Publishing.

This is being overlooked by many. This is usually a pretty quiet time for videogame sales.
