>Switch 2 launches June 5th
>A week later Nintendo proudly announced the Switch 2 is killing records and sold over 3.5 million, it's a gangbuster hit!!!!
>suddenly a week after no sales talks
>Or the week after that
Trouble in paradise eh? If the Switch 2 is really the "best selling console of all time" like they tried to tell us why haven't they updated the sales figures yet?

Doesn't help that other companies have come out of the woodwork to say that their third party games are selling like shit
So my guess is after the TikTok Nintendo crowd finished the "hype" after the first week, they moved on like they always do and everyone realized that no, paying $80 for Mario Kart but open world doesn't sound like a reasonable investment

You mean one (1) Bongoloid journalist analysed UK-only physical sales, concluded this meant the games were selling poorly, and then gave an unsourced account of one (1) unnamed 3rd party developer agreeing with him (almost certainly a western dev given he's UK-based).

And then other journalists and analysts BTFO'd him and gave statistics proving 3rd parties are selling better at Switch 2 launch than Switch 1 launch.

Ah yes and are these "statistics" in the room with us?

Does the sonysister realize the quarterly report is in a month and keeping all sales info to wow investors is a better strategy?

>>713453640
Wait so when the Switch 2's sales were announced and there were nonstop threads up here about it you were fine with it but suddenly now you don't want to talk about it flopping? Interesting

>Hate to contribute to a Discourse, but 3rd party share of Switch 2 software in the US is far better than it was during the Switch 1 launch.

>Third party unit share of Switch 2 physical software during week 1 reached just shy of 40%. For month 1 of the Switch launch it was less than 20%.

>Like, it's far too early to claim best or worst this or that or whatever when it comes to Switch 2. Sheesh, the thing hasn't even been out 3 weeks yet.

>Source: Circana retail tracking service.

>Look, it's way too early and the sample size of games is far too small to do any of this.

Strike 1, find an actual source of you want me to take your seriously

>>713452869 (OP)
The launch sales were completely front-loaded. All the hype died down completely and it will not even sell ten million by the end of the year.

>>713454017
And your source is instead a Bongistani journalist who also posts on Bluesky.

Do you expect daily sales updates? Fucking Hell, schizo...

>>713454650
>WOW THEY UPDATED THAT THE SWITCH 2 IS SELLING SO MUCH IN THE FIRST XOUPLE DAYS FUCK YEAH
>W-Well obviously they wouldn't update the sales after 3 weeks i-idiot!
kek

As the games roll in so will discussion, right now there’s only two reasons to own one
>A: you want MKW
>B: you want a switch and its library but don’t want the old model
And it will be a tremendous success as more exclusives come out.

>>713454938
Just like the Wii-U eh

>>713454920
You're lucky they even gave you the 3.5 million update. Nintendo doesn't often give sales updates outside of investors meetings.

If you're that desperate you can use the Famitsu sales statistics from last week and try to extrapolate how those Japan-only numbers might be reflected in other regions:
https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/713082702/#q713082702
>Switch 2 – 153.205 (1.101.136)
>PlayStation 5 – 14.129 (6.896.940)
>Switch – 13.319 (35.765.339)
>Xbox Series X|S – 261 (677.751)
>PlayStation 4 – 22 (9.504.998)

Keep in mind also that allegedly Switch 2 is sold out pretty much everywhere in Japan, so 150k is probably the maximum Nintendo can produce for their home country per week.

>>713455720
Also, fun fact: At 153k, Switch 2's 2nd week in Japan was bigger than PS5's launch week in Japan.

So is his new cope that Nintendo isn't posting global sales figures literally every week, something nobody in the industry does, therefore it's flopping?

PS5's fucked then, no new sales figures for months.

>All the switch 2 stocks they made ended
>See it's not selling anymore!
I mean how anyone is going to buy something you can't find? Just because people are losing their FOMO for Mario kart doesn't mean the game or the console will stop selling lol. Nobody even talks about MK8 deluxe and that game still sells to this day. I'm even ignoring poke because that's when you won't be able to find any switch 2 with how many retards will migrate to their new Pokemon drug game.

everyone who wanted already bought lol

anyone posting or caring about video game console sales metrics is a complete and utter dork
