Keep chugging along Nintendo! I wanna see switch outsell the Wii U in its first year!
Looks good. These numbers are for sales ending on September 30.
So oct 1-December 31 is the next quarter.
This is its first Christmas so I honestly think Nintendo will be very surprised if it sells less than 4 and a half million units. Seems assured that it sill sell at least that number.
Which will bring 2017 sales to over 12 million. It should sell around a million a month after that. So definitely on track to sell 14 million units by the start of March 2018.
Projected 14 million in the first year is excellent!
I’m honestly expecting it to be more than that too.
In comparison PS4 sold over 15 million in its first 12 months.
So this is definitely a healthy launch.
