Those numbers are simply mindblowing.
Can't believe the Switch has reached nearly 70 million in just 3.5 years.
That's what I said. 150 thousand, thousand IS 150 million.
Which, yeah, sounds totally doable at this rate.
Although it will depend on how quickly they bring out their next gen replacement. Without needing to start over from scratch due to a WiiU like failure, there's no reason to wait until till midway through 9th gen to released the Switch 2, and that could heavily curtail the Switch sales towards the end of it's life.
Great time for me to sell my useless Switch. I sold my Smash Version with some games and controller for $550. I beat BOTW, nothing else to do.
Eh, most of the games weren't for me. I got it for Smash and BOTW. That phase ended. I don't like games like Villagers, etc.So much edge.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 28.99 million
Animal Crossing: New Horizons – 26.04 million
Hasn't even had a Christmas yet.Animal Crossing was at 22.4 million in Nintendo's last report. It picked up almost 4 million in (if I'm reading it correctly) July, August and September -- after you'd expect its initial sales surge to have trickled out.
It's going to leg it right to the top.
Switch should be compared to handhelds as it is not traditional home console
More fair would be to compare it to wii+3ds combined sales, as lite is pure handheld and original is handheld + "home console".
Ps4+xbox are on different category so comparing to those doesnt tell much
too bad it's now fading away as new consoles rise and outshine it
The new consoles haven't even outshone their predecessors yet

Some people are legit upset about this, did Nintendo burn people`s houses or something?
Did the Wii sale 100 million in 4 years? Or was it 5?
It's currently outpacing RDR2 and second only to GTAV.Geezus, did AC:NH had the single best year of any Nintendo game ever?
Did the Wii sale 100 million in 4 years? Or was it 5?
Wii achieved 100.4M (shipped) on June 30th, 2013. So around 7 years and 7 months. PS4 has the record, achieving 100M on 5 years and 7 months:Not sure. I think the Wii is still faster at the same time period.

Kinda a shame Super Mario 3D World is far below in sales compared to the the disapointment that was Mario Odyssey to me. But it was tied to the Wii U so I can see why.
I think they could easily keep the current switch cooking with a second lite revision that is smaller and more kid-friendly and make the "switch 2" the flagship hybrid, create a rotation to keep the previous "switch" as a pure portable while a more powerful console becomes a flagshipIt'll be stupid for Nintendo to even want the Switch to sell 150 million. At the rate tech is moving Nintendo NEEDs the Switch 2 to be out sometime in 2022.

Very, very, very, very, wayyy very small minority indeedGood going. I’m in the what I assume to be very very small minority who don’t like anything Nintendo. I feel like Nintendo gets so much hype because they’re Nintendo, not because what they put out is really that good. Kinda like Beyoncé..... both overrated
