Bobdapeach · May 6, 2021

AC sold like 800k units since the last earnings? thought it would have done more

Cass_Se · May 6, 2021

So that's nearly 29m consoles for third best selling fiscal year ever, behind NDS Fy09 of 31.18m and NDS Fy08 of 30.31m?

Insanity

MK8DX by itself is very close to outselling MKWii. Amazing.

I think AC: New Horizons has just about reached it's peak with over 32m copies sold. Still good, nonetheless.

Looks like AC's steamroll has run out, probably wont outsell MK8

not denying any incredible sale figures but thought it'd have more growth but i guess 1.45m is still good cause im stupid and thought it was only 800k LMAO

unicornKnight · May 6, 2021

AC slowed down compared to MK

TechnicPuppet · May 6, 2021

Could they end up selling the most consoles? Or will switch 2 come too soon.

Nolbertos · May 6, 2021

I was waiting for this thread. Wil read the rest tomorrow morning. So what's Switch's WW LTD now

edit: see its 84.9 Million. It has slowed this Fiscal YR, but Nikkei expects 30 Million for next year which to me shows that Nintendo purposelly held back some big franchises for the Switch Pro refresh to get more Switch sales.

Pokémon · May 6, 2021

Hardware did not even reach 85 million? Meh.

It was the best-selling game in January and March in the UK, and still charting high everywhere.

It is far from being done selling. 40m is the floor for AC.

Eventually they'll release them separately if they don't do the collection again.

sebbbbe_WiiG · May 6, 2021

Some observations:
- Highest software sales ever with 230.88 mln units, surpassing Wii's best year with 204.58 mln units
- Third best hardware unit sales ever with 28.83 mln units, before DS's 30.31 mln in FY 2008 and 31.18 mln. in FY 2009), beating Wii's best year
- Surpassed the GBA as 4th best selling Nintendo platform ever
- Switch now has 11 first-party 10-million-sellers, more than any other Nintendo platform (surpassing DS with ten 10-million-sellers)
- Sales of Super Mario 3D World surpassed almost the total for the original release in just 6 weeks (5.59 mln on Switch vs. 5.86 mln on Wii U)

Yes they could since the Switch 2 isn't coming anytime soon (the Pro is only coming in the next 9 months or so.)

SM3DW already selling 5.6 millions under 2 months in the winter is crazy.

Xita · May 6, 2021

I did not realize Super Mario Party was that popular.

legend166 · May 6, 2021

TechnicPuppet said:

Most ever or compared to PS4?

I think at this point it'd be favourite to overtake the PS4 which looks like it will top out at 120 million.

All time? It could, but I don't see it reaching 150 million. I think a true successor will come out in 2024.

Lelouch0612 · May 6, 2021

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just sold an additional 10m+ copies over the past year lol

Astrogamer · May 6, 2021

So there's 14 third party million sellers this fiscal year. I wonder what they are besides Monster Hunter and Momotaro

Switch SKU sold more than LTD sales of the Wii U version during its fourth year alone LOL

Zedark · May 6, 2021

Wii hardware after 17 quarters was 84.64M, so Switch is 50k behind the Wii launch aligned (but Wii had half a month extra in its first quarter).

Switch attach rate (excluding digital-only releases) is now 6.94. For comparison, Wii was at 8.22 (but the digital-only indie scene wasn't there back in the Wii days).

Catalyst · May 6, 2021

The biggest surprise is that Link's Awakening is a million seller for the fiscal year. It sold 1.11m in the past year, now at 5.49m overall.

Also nice to see Pikmin finally over the 2m mark.

If you do the maths, it'll become quite clear they'll hit it:

March 31st 2021: ~85m (+29m)
March 31st 2022 : ~110m (+25m which is their forecast).
March 31st 2023 : ~ 130m (+20m)
March 31st 2024 : ~ 145m (+15m)
March 31st 2025 : ~ 155m (+10m)

And that's with being very aggressive with the decline rates.

Even if Nintendo were to announce a new MK game at E3 for this holiday season MK8D (Switch alone) will beat MK Wii this year.

Zedark · May 6, 2021

Nintendo are forecasting 25.5M units shipped for the next fiscal year, and 190M units of software. A very ambitious target, suggests to me they have some big software lined up (well, we know of TWO Pokémon games, and probably BOTW2 will hit within the FY).

Lelouch0612 said:

It'll do another 10M this year I feel.

Drblitzk · May 6, 2021

Nintendo forecast for next year is 25.5 mill Switches, way higher than their initial 19 mill (lol) for this year. They sure are cooking something.

Mind boggling numbers all around and it's funny to see 3D World surpassing its LTD Wii U numbers in two months. Forecast next year is 25m which is curious...

Nintendo FY3/2021 Q4 Earnings Release, Switch Hardware Q4 - 4.73M (+43.7% YoY), 84.59M LTD

Sales Heaven or Sales Hell?
