That is a lot more since just a few weeks ago.

Not a great source. No data, little information. I hope it did well, but lets wait for official sales data.
|

Wouldn't Nintendo have reported it themselves if that was the case? I mean, thats great if true!
We just have to wait for Nintendo's reportings next month I believe? |

I thought the Galaxy lineup had outsold the iPhones by a lot, I wonder where I read that at.

I thought the Galaxy lineup had outsold the iPhones by a lot, I wonder where I read that at. You're not wrong. The same source of this article says this: The global market share for smartphones is dominated by Google's Android system, which owns 85%, compared to 15% for Apple's iOS, according to researcher IDC. But the iPhone is the most popular smartphone brand, having opened a huge gap compared to No. 2 Samsung's Galaxy phones at 33 million. However Samsung, which has a broader portfolio of phones, sells more overall. Indeed, in 2016, Samsung shipped over 320 million phones, most lower-priced phones sold outside the United States, like the J3, On8 and A9 lines. So the iPhone X sold more than any other tech product this year, but if you add up all those Samsung phones sold this year, it's actually more than what the iPhone X sold.

I don't think they sold 5 million units in 2 months...or was it 3? I guess 3 months is possible, but that's still a large number even with Christmas season

It sold 1.154m so far in Japan alone in november to december, and it still got this week to go. That will probably get it to around 1.25m, which is 25% of 5m. And 25% is pretty much Japan's share of total Switch sales.

I doubt they hit 15 million already. We’ll know for sure when Nintendo has their quarterly earnings next month. This is still a good sign though. It won’t be long before the Switch outsells the Wii U and GameCube assuming it hasn’t already outsold the Wii U.

Nintendo were still insanely popular when the wii u came out. The fans were still there, they were just waiting for a better console. This site is just a cesspool of complaining and drama from anxious ridden people who demand you agree with them for some reason.

StickMen1090 posted...Nertak posted...show hidden quote(s) They are probably saving that announcement as a high note for the investor meeting January 31st. This will also keep good media buzz flowing for Nintendo during these dryer months. I personally think they will have sold 15.1 million consoles to retailers by December 31st (what Nintendo will report at this meeting) and will have only sold 13.6 million consoles through to customers by December 31st (which they might also mention at the meeting since it is above the Wii U lifetime sell-through) Either way, good news all around and this will be garnering more focus from 3rd parties for sure. |

Doubtful.
Didn't they announce a little more than 2 weeks ago that Switch had reached 10M? I doubt it has been able to move 5M units in 18 days, holidays or not. Or has any console ever had similar numbers in less than a month during the holiday season? |

They don't want to remind the average consumer of it. "What's a Wii U?" is their new company slogan. Saw it in a recent commercial. And I actually liked the Wii u. But I admit it's bad for the brand right now to associate with it. |

After years of mocking Nintendo and it's fans for the Wii U low sales....the haters cry out in disbelief...they had felt true Nintendoom within their grasp...and now it slips away once again.
On the bright side, you'll get to spend at least a few more years warning us of the impending end of Nintendo.

Looking back, the "Nintendoom" thing seems a bit ridiculous! The Wii U failed, but they still had tons of cash from the very successful Wii. Not to mention the successful 3DS, and before that, the REALLY successful DS. Maybe "nintendoom" is actually just a meme and the trolls know and always knew Nintendo wasn't in any real danger...

In all fairness, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade, Arms, Mario Rabbids and more became known after this point last year. It's just plain short sighted to call 2018 dry at this point.

They would for a specific landmark, and outselling the Wii U so quickly is a specific and important landmark. "Hey everyone! Switch outsold Wii U's lifetime sales in under 10 months". Why wouldn't Nintendo of America tweet that? It isn't though. When the Wii released I recall Iwata said that they didn't consider outselling the GC as a target or a goal.

Do you intentionally try to make yourself look stupid or what? Why would anyone claim that a <5mil source is credible given that Nintendo themselves confirmed 10mil+ sales for the Switch? If anything, people may try and argue that this source isn't credible since it isn't official. Although I personally, given how great the Switch is doing, think that it is possible that the Switch already reached 15mil in sales.

Huh? We already know that we're getting Yoshi, Kirby, Wolfenstein 2, Bayonetta 1+2 collection and possibly Metroid Prime 4 and Pokémon Switch next year. Plus there's going to be directs where they'll announce new games. Not to mention all the indies that pop out every now and then.Nintendo doesn't need system sellers next year. They need more games that sell a million like ARMS, which basically means games that will give a modest bump here and there. That alone will keep momentum. And they already have enough games of that sort lined up for next year. That's not including third parties or multi-million selling stuff like Animal Crossingand Fire Emblem.
Stuff like a W101 port is on the way. I'm sure of it. I doubt Pokemon releases this year.DreTam2000 posted...Nintendo doesn't need system sellers next year.

This is in fact true they make a small profit on the console (unlike competitors) yes but that isnt what create money for them all console sales mean is a greater install base as the sale of games is what makes money

It is good to see the sales and as I posted earlier apparently they are on par with ps2 sales in japan first year which is great but it is all about game sales!- Boards
