Ah ok.
Yeah Fifa and Skyrim will likely be the big test for third parties on the Switch this year. I do expect Skyrim to sell pretty well, not sure about Fifa. It looks good though.
It also have those Sonic games.
Splat2...sold 1 million ww in its first week lol. Splatoon 1 is the biggest new console IP in japan last gen taking down even FF numbers...... the ignorance is staggering lol.
Theres no PES so I am stuck to just getting fifa
Lol
FIFA, NBA2K, and some lego games too. That all I can think of right now.

Dem ARMS numbers! Glad to see it's hit platinum already. 
Splatoon 2 will by far exceed ARMS.

Pretty sure Nintendo previsions works more according to production than what it's coming.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
1.97m/10m = less than 20%
So if they cannot increase production very much, they may feel more secure to stick to that 10m forecast for now.

Scratch that, didn't realize that the 1.18 million ARMS figure was up to the 30th of June. That makes it a more successful launch than the original Splatoon lol.
Well it isn't that simple. Monster Hunter XX is likely not coming to the West (or if it is at least not soon), and the holiday sales will depend a lot on the supply situation at that point. Mario and Splatoon will do well for the system no doubt, it's what happens between them that leaves room for doubt as to whether they can hit 10 million by next March.
There's still more games with selling power than this too.

This. Did Nintendo just stuff channels? If so I wouldn't count on sales going much higher just yet.

It's probably going to end up being the bestselling game in the entire series.

PS4 was at 7.5 million shipped after two quarters. XBO was at 5.1 million (last time MS gave us proper XBO shipments)
I can see FIFA, Skyrim and Sonic actually do really well. Sonic is most certain going to do well for how close Nintendo fans to Sonic franchise.
I think 10 million is for april to april next year. March is not counted. That would put the total at 12.7 million shipped.

At this point it`s probably all they can manufacture, i am assuming.
Nintendo was trying to get a whole bunch of online multiplayer titles out there to justify making people sign up for paid online. Although Nintendo changed their plans and now their online system is still TBD.

Rocket League is a must-buy for Nintendo fans. Game feels fantastic from the moment you pump the gas and perform a double jump. It's fun at a fundamental level, like the best Nintendo games. I can see it catching on with Switch owners.
XX Switch is a port of a game that's an expansion for a previously released game, and the 3DS SKU of XX already sold 1.5m+ copies on 3DS and will have been out for 5 months by the time XX Switch hits.
I don't think it's going to do the gangbusters people think.

Both numbers are great and both consoles had supply constraints.
Skyrim is the biggest 3rd party game this whole year, time to think a bit harder about why Nintendo published games are taking up the majority of sales. The makeup of the Switch user base is vastly different than previous Nintendo console owners, so as 3rd parties start to release their games on the platform, you will start to see 3rd party sales percentage rise.
You also have for the first time ever, a real reason to buy that 3rd party multiplat on the Nintendo platform over Microsoft's or Sony's and that is baked into the concept of the device. (play anywhere functionality) Personally as a PC gamer, Switch interests me in ways that no Nintendo device has ever interested me before, and I can see myself getting big AAA games on the Switch, publishers only have to be brave enough to port their games.

Holiday season rather than Fall, unfortunately.
One of my top 3 wanted Switch games for this year. The other 2 are Mario and FIFA.
This may be a good opportunity to see how much the market actually values the portability of the system. This is the first real batch of big third party titles, and most if not all are available in a better state on PS4 or PC. If people are serious about ideas like "portable Skyrim as a concept has new value", then this will be the time to see it bear fruit.
yeah. disgaea only makes up a small part of that 3m+, but it's a huge success relative to the company. the game continues to do well and it's on track to outsell the ps4 version before the end of the year.
For ps4 shipped was equal to sold.
Capcom is lucky if it does 300k in Japan

Still waiting on Stardew Valley. Is that still coming to Switch?

Nintendo making that stupid money.
If you ever wonder why developers and publishers need to think globally, just look at the breakdown on Switch sales.

If we're including Wii U SKUs, BOTW is not going to come out ahead...
The links are right there in the OP.

Wow, there must be quite a few copies of ARMS sitting on store shelves if these are shipped figures.
This will be a great post to come back to in the future.
I was under the impression early adopters got PS4 to play resogun.
