1,72m for XC3, very good start.

and finally updated PLA numbers.

Someone had to have a 'decent' hw unit drop based off the market data that we are getting. 15% doesnt seem too bad.

12.32m for H2, how does that compare to last year?
 
I wonder if there's a chance Splatoon 3's Domestic/Overseas split ends up mirroring 2's 5 million/8 million but inverted.

If 3 is already at ~3m outside Japan then I would hazard to guess it wont struggle selling an additional 2m. Prob gonna be closer to a 15m seller I would think.
 
HW numbers were a bit under my prediction. Seems like shipments to Europe and "Other" regions really slowed down.

Switch FYQ2 (Jul-Sep) SW sales:
> FY3/2018: 13.87M
> FY3/2019: 24.16M
> FY3/2020: 35.88M
> FY3/2021: 49.82M
> FY3/2022: 48.59M
> FY3/2023: 54.01M

Nintendo actually shipped more SW last quarter than they did during the same quarter in 2020 (height of Covid lockdowns). Very strong SW numbers - a stark contrast from that of PlayStation which saw SW numbers decline by a decent amount YoY.
 
EDIT: Wrong thread, I guess. I moved the charts over here.

114+ million Nintendo switch consoles.
At the reveal I expected 3DS numbers or when everything works out a max of 100 million.

But nope that thing is a beast.
 
So we have likely one more quarter before Switch becomes the biggest packaged software seller in Nintendo's history, beating out the DS. At that point, the only thing left to see is, despite lacking several marquee 3rd-party games, how close it can get to matching PS4's approximate 1.6 billion SW units sold.

As an outsider looking in, it seems like there's less enthusiasm towards XB3 than XB2, but that's all anecdotal. Going to be interesting to see how it develops.

It’s hard to say since one could say the same thing for XC2 if they weren’t paying attention. The game kept silently climbing at small numbers till we got updates every quarter. It’ll definitely be interesting to watch which path is chosen; either the XCDE or XC2 route.
 
I seem to have finished already and all the data is in the OP. Point out to me if there is any errors.
 
So lots of takeways.

Software is doing great, Splatoon 3 start in the West has been solid but the numbers in Japan are out of this world. Catalogue sales seem doing going and several recent games are still chugging along nicely like Kirby or Switch Sports.

Another 3m+ this quarter for hardware is good, sell-through as shown in the slides remains very close to last year.
A bit surprised by the revised forecast down, sub-13m for the two remaining quarters seem pretty safe.

As expected, Xenoblade digital share is significant in Japan, around 60%. The game's launch is exactly on par with TH in Japan and around 200k below overseas. TH is on its way to 4m so I still expect XC3 to become the best-selling Xenoblade game without too much trouble.
 
From what I can gather in their report, sales to customers are around the same as last year but sales to retailers are down? Is that correct? Would correlate to reports of shortages, especially in Japan. Obviously the switch is getting a bit long in the tooth now as well but I feel like shortages are playing into more than age.

I can't see the legs being as poor as XB1DE, since that's remake, but my gut says XB2's legs are the exception. Certainly didn't hurt it was in the Switch's launch year either.

In regards to other games, very impressed with Kirby and Mario Kart. I guess that DLC is doing work.

In regards to HW revision down, I think it's fairly soft. Between manufacturing issues and an expected new hardware announcement, we're heading into the 7th year. Some decline is unavoidable.

The new hardware forecast will be an interesting talking point.

Anything that's a drop when other consoles are on the rise will be interesting to some.

I always wait for Splatoon to have a more balanced launch period of sales but maybe next game.

This confirms the great digital sales of Xenoblade 3. Easily passed through the niche barrier(tm) like it's saloon doors.

Hopefully the upcoming DLC will continue to keep the game's mindshare for years to come.

Indeed, sell-through is almost similar as last year:

And below are their comments on the hardware situation:
While there is a gradual improvement in semiconductor and other component supplies and a recovery trend in hardware manufacturing for Nintendo Switch, taking into consideration production and sales performances thus far, we have modified the Nintendo Switch hardware sales units forecast for the fiscal year. By continually working to front-load production and selecting appropriate transportation methods in preparation for the holiday season, we will work to deliver as many consoles as possible toconsumers in every region of the world

Very reasonable start for Xenoblade 3, I hope it will reach over 500k in Japan this quarter and 2m WW.

Scarlet & Violet should be interesting to see at this rate.
 
For anyone wondering the adjustments on Zelda and Smash are minimal, it only increases their LTD by 20k and 10k respectively. The one for Pokémon Sword/Shield is big because they added its Expansion Pass SKU to the total.

Edit: My bad it's 10k for Smash, I typod.

All mainline pokemon games will probably exceed 15 million on Switch
Kirby, Switch Sports, Mario Kart,Smash,Zelda are monster.
if Kirby keeps selling like Luigi it could be 10 million
The first quartet of new games are strong/very strong
Finally we learned the real pokemon sword shield numbers

Mario Kart > 60m
AC > 50m(hard)
Smash > 35m(hard)
Zelda > 30m
Pokemon Sword Shield, Mario Odyssey, Pokemon Scarlet > 25m
Mario Party > 20m(very hard)
Probably there won't be any other game on the switch that exceeds 20 million(except Zelda, and maybe Splatoon 3) if the switch is released in 2023. If a new console comes out in 2023, it's close to 0 probability that splatoon 3 will have 20 million only with the switch version.
Will there be an update on the next generation console for AC, Smash? Will we see more discounts? Will bundle be more? Or will the continuation of these games come out in the first 2 years?

Where is golf Switch Sport update?

Software sales growth in Japan, Europe and Asia but Murica still on decline. Wonder if the big Pokemon hit will be able to stop the decline of software there
