huh so our hardware numbers were pretty far off, Switch hitting 20M over a month ago now, not sure we will even see it at 20M when reported via famitsu.

6 million in a fiscal year out of 28.83 million sold WW is a great result. Nintendo is expecting a slight decrease for next FY to 25.5 million but if the Pro rumors are true it's hard to imagine that will be the case. But at any rate if it can replicate it's Japanese performance it'll put it within 6-7 million of DS lifetime sales, meaning it can coast it's way to the crown.

Given the PS5 numbers as seen above, maybe these are some of the areas where Japan's scalped PS5s ended up /semi-jk

NSW LTD in Taiwan is 1.466.738 vs 1.095.502 PS4
NSW LTD in South Korea is 2.327.125 vs 886.941 PS4

South Korea NSW sales nearly doubled YoY. PS4 collapse also happened in both Taiwan and South Korea.

Furukawa specifically noted their growth in Asia so those numbers are very interesting.

It definitely seems like those markets could trend towards Japan.

Let's just presume the PS5 moved 9 million units this week.
The market leader has been restored

You love to see it (I jest)


But on a more relevant and serious note, SK really saw an increase in the Switch playerbase in a massive way. No wonder you are seeing more of an uptick in Korean support for games, like localizations and such and games coming out from there.


Are there numbers for mainland China? Last I remember was something about 4 million?

I more interested in software.
Last year Taiwan moved almost the same software as South Korea, despite being less populated and moving less hardware.

Now that we got the final numbers for NSW shipments (6.6mil) and it being the 2nd highest of all time only behind the monster 9.11mil from DS....

What are your expectations/guesses for this FY? Up/down/flat? How much by? 7mil possible? Should I dare say close to 8mil?

I think Nintendo predicting a WW decline is the right call. Lockdowns are becoming less frequent, schools and businesses are opening back up which means less free time. Nintendo has also fired off most of their big guns. Japan is trending in the right direction though despite that.

Remember back in 2017 when Nintendo fired all of their big guns? I also remember they did the same thing with 2018, 2019, and again in 2020! Can't wait for them to fire off those big guns in 2021 and once more in 2022 😉 😝

I'm expecting a lot of announcements in 2021 but less heavy hitters because of COVID. 2022 might be properly stacked though.

I actually read somewhere that part of the reason they're conservative with the forecast is that they were/are expecting more competition in Japan from the PS5 this FY. Meaning, they think there may be a drop in Japan because of the PS5. That's very conservative thinking, when the exact opposite might wind up being true.

They seem to expect growth in EU and Asia.

If you look at their history of initial fiscal year projections, I would argue they have really really high expectations for this year. They usually undershoot..

China is going to be the new Japan in terms of the battlefield for devs and pubs and sales penetration.
