During the first quarter of this period (April through June 2019), for Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Maker 2 released in June and has
gotten off to a good start with 2.42 million units sold. In addition, sales of titles released in previous fiscal years and titles released by
other software publishers continued to grow at a steady pace, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which sold 1.2 million units (17.89
million units on a cumulative basis). As a result, hardware and software sales reached 2.13 million units (13.2% increase on a year-on-
year basis) and 22.62 million units (25.9% increase on a year-on-year basis) respectively.
For Nintendo 3DS, hardware sales totaled 0.2 million units (44.9% decrease on a year-on-year basis), while software sales came to
1.48 million units (49.7% decrease on a year-on-year basis).
Turning to our digital business for dedicated video game platforms, sales of downloadable versions of packaged software and
download-only software for Nintendo Switch showed particularly steady growth, bringing digital sales to 30.6 billion yen (65.3%
increase on a year-on-year basis).
For the mobile business, many consumers continue to enjoy titles that were released in previous years, and our mobile, IP related
income reached 10 billion yen (10.0% increase on a year-on-year basis).
In total, net sales reached 172.1 billion yen (including overseas sales of 131.7 billion yen, or 76.5% of the total sales). Operating
profit came to 27.4 billion yen. As a result of foreign exchange losses of 12 billion yen and other factors, ordinary profit came to 22.2
billion yen and profit attributable to owners of parent totaled 16.6 billion yen.

Congrats to Nintendo.

Edit: I just noticed numbers are quite lower than PS4's. Still impressive tho' but I thought they would be more.

We will see Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (on it's own, without the Wii U version of 8) overtake Mario Kart 7 by the time of the next Earnings Release.

All consoles over ship. There'd be constant stock problems if they didn't. This just means Nintendo withheld supply to clear out stock before the revisions.

Or thats most likely case, they are clearing stocs for upcoming revisions.
Only US and Japan are like around 70% of WW sales for Switch.

People calling it disappointing despite them making mega profits on each unit sold, as well as selling an immense amount of software.

I sincerely doubt Switch is tanking in Europe and rest of the world when the software sales data suggests otherwise.

It is quite possible they overshipped last year though.

Nobody said anything about tanking. But they clearly have not sold as many units as expected otherwise their shipments wouldn't be that low.

Almost a total absence of big software for the quarter, and with revisions on the way. I see no surprises here.

Software strength is still bonkers.

Shipments have been well behind sales for 2 quarters now, they're channel clearing as analysts suspected months ago.

We also have sellthrough data for Spain this year and it's the same story as the US and Japan.

Pokemon X and Y are still outpacing Let's Go (X and Y had sold 11.6 million by April 2014, so over 5 months) so all is right in the world.

Of course shipments will be up, would be pretty bad if they weren't. Doesn't change that they either greatly overshipped in the past or are not selling through as much as expected.
