Well, what is there to say really. That's an insane number of consoles sold and Animal Crossing is just absolutely mindblowing, 22M sales in 3 and a half months is out of this world.

Switch is now well ahead of PS4 launch aligned, I think if there's no successor by the end of 2022 it will probably outsell PS4 into the #2 console of all time slot.

That's a crazy quarter. Would be nice to have the same details as in the playstation results.

we'll see.  nintendo consoles have a tradition of peaking early.   i think it is mostly because their consoles launch at such a low price compared to playstation so the demand can be more front loaded.   but this is the end of switch's 3rd year and traditionally it starts declining in the 4th year.   that's how ps4 outsold wii despite being trounced in the early 3 years.

i think switch will sell a bunch more units.  i think breaking 100 million is a pretty safe bet at this point but ps4 looks like it will stop between 120-130 million.  switch wont' get there if sales don't persist for another 5 years.  sales will be great in 2021 but i'm not so sure about 2023,4,5.

Switch will be at or close to 75M at the end of 2020 after a roughly 23M year. 2021 won't decline too hard, it'll still be ~18M+ I think. It would then take a hard decline for it to fall short of PS4, which like you said does often happen with Nintendo consoles though.

I said if there's no successor by end of 2022, and in that case I think it'll be another 15M year for about 108M LTD at end of 2022, if that's the case it'll be neck and neck with PS4.

Never even heard of 51 worldwide games, but good for them.


Switch has been amazing. It was perfect timing hardware wise with a handheld being able to play most console games. Don't know if it'll happen again. Will Switch and Switch 2 break as many records from here on out?

a.k.a Clubhouse Games.

I think Switch 2 will have a small decline.
