We know it sold 6 million worldwide towards the end of July, and US sales were 2 million at the end of July. It sold 2.4mil in August but the fact he doesn’t say what the number is and that it’s declined suggest Switch 2 dropped a bit and lost its seat as “fastest selling console” to the PS5. September’s hardware sales were still down compared to Sept 2023 so either PS5 dropped a lot or Switch 2 isn’t doing as miraculous as Tendies claim.
I don’t have Japanese sales in front of me but it’s been stagnant since August only selling 40-45K a week. It probably did 500K over those two months, but Europe is in the toilet. I know Tendies want to brag about Japan sales, but the Switch 1 sold more in Europe than it did in Japan (34M v 36M). So it has maybe sold 600-800K in the US, a little under 500K in Japan, and what ever in Europe, it’s probably at 7.5-8 million. That’s good but a lot of it is still driven by the first weekend. Also, Nintendo’s reports shipped to retail, not sell through. If they say 9 million, then expect the system to be overstocked and there is a good chance you will be able to get one on a discount after Christmas.
