Looking at those numbers, it's actually impressive how many sales Nintendo is losing by not porting their games to PC. They need to do it ASAP, like Sony.

Switch definitely gonna pass the PS2, might it takedown the DS as well.

Zelda almost matching Hogwarts legacy with 3 months less on the market... Impressive.

Mario Wonder sold a crazy amount over the holidays!. Good game.

Assuming the Switch 2 releases this year, I wouldn't be that confident.

They sold 6.90 million last quarter, but numbers are declining and this is the quarter with the most sales. Based on previous quarters, they are probably going to be selling less than 3 million per quarter this year:

Considering they are 20M short of the PS5, and that a new console will be out by end of year, the Switch will die out relatively quickly as Nintendo doesn't really dwell on older platforms (unless we're talking the full portables). It will depend if the Switch 2 is backwards compatible I guess.

However, I still think these numbers are very poor considering the Switch replaced home and portable consoles simultaneously.

PS2 : ≥159.2 million
DS : 154.02


Switch : 139.36

But it has already started its descent since 2021: 28.82 > 23.06 > 17.97 > 15.5 (end March 2024?).
If it finishes at 15.5 it will be at 141.12 million (03/31/2024).

so it will need at least 19 million to overtake the PS2. And it's now that things are going to get complicated, and even more so if the Switch 2 is made official.

with today's update to splatoon 3's sales, the series combined sales have now surpassed 30 million copies:
  • Splatoon (released in May 2015) - 4.95M as of March 2023
  • Splatoon 2 (released in July 2017) - 13.60M as of December 2022
  • Splatoon 3 (released in September 2022) - 11.71M as of December 2023
which brings the total to 30.26 million. pretty good for a new-ish IP.

I wonder if a switch 2 announcement will happen in March just right before the fiscal year ends to avoid sales collapsing and missing the 15.5 million number

Sony looked at both Nintendo and Xbox and decided they should follow Xbox. Morons, they are lucky Xbox is somehow run by an even more clueless individual.

They abandoned portables, pivoted to games as a service and decided to port everything to PC and got used to devaluing their own games.

Nintendo even has the disadvantage of weak hardware with relative little third party support and games that are emulatable/piratable on PC and yet they keep doing their own thing and stick to what they are good at.

If kept on just PS5 Sony games would pretty much be vitually untouched by piracy, their team would be able to develop for single device (getting a boost to quality and saving costs) and they would not have to give 30% to Steam (now their most direct competitor).

Really big numbers all around, Switch continues its wild success.
One thing with all these numbers that really sticks out to me for this quarter is Super Mario RPG Remake with 3.14 million.
Did not expect this amount of sales from this title, at least not so quickly.
