So how much is it up by this Quarter?
Regardless though, fantastic numbers and looks like it's not losing any momentum at all. Holiday is going to do wonders for these numbers with Smash and Pokemon. Though I'm guessing this quarter will be a bit weaker.

I'm sorry, but I laughed at the "hard_soft/index.html" in the URL. (I know it's been round forever but I just noticed it now)
Great result for the Switch! Just under 2 million to go before GC is outsold.

Back in January it reported 7.63 million units
Almost assuredly over 20 million at this point. 19.67 million was at the end of June.
They needed those "DOWNLOAD FORTNITE FOR FREE" stickers on the Switch boxes sooner.
Geez, didn't know it was that low. I figured it for 30 mil but I guess that was the N64.
It sold way more than I was expecting. Down from 100k is quite good considering that the lineup last year was better.
That number isn't accurate for January, and the quarter starts in April.
This statement is likely true for all 3 console manufactures this year...okay MS might have a tougher time outside of UK/US...but for Sony and Nintendo Holiday season should be massive.
Yeah...they started last years period with MK8 and still had the launch bonus/boost from BotW.
They had nothing even close to those games in this years period.
Digital sales of consoles?
Ah, OP updated with software sales, nvm
A really close tie I think. Within the same time frame of 16 months the PS4 had sold 20m. Its pretty much following closely to PS4 sales, but PS4 had the advantage of 2 fall holiday sales and Switch has only had 1.
I stay with the same opinion since early May... down Q1, down Q2 and Q3 having a hard time to cover these two quarter when it needed to be avg. 35% up to reach these 20 million forecast.
I expect a forecast revision in October.

Does that matter if the consoles pretty much had no price drops at all?
Disappointing it's down for the same period last year when supply was still limited in areas of some regions, but they'll have all their hype back at the end of the year.

yeah everyone is about to go crazy.
so what do we think about that 100m software this FY?
I think it's pretty doable.
Sony announced 20.1 million PS4's sold on March 1st, 2015. Which is less than 16 months on the market. Switch is about at that 16 month mark.
Yeah. Xbox is a weird one, really can't tell how well they'll do. Nintendo have Smash and Pokemon, Sony will have Spider-Man and some strong bundles like FIFA and Red Dead 2. Not to say the content on Xbox is lacking, mind, just not sure what they'll be using to drive unit sales.
I hadn't noticed this. And I love it .
(But probably just a typo.)

Typo, but wonderful accident :)
It's a loophole to cover up that Nintendo hasn't really sold any Switches.
That it's keeping pace with PS4 with one less holiday season is remarkable. I think the wild swing between Wii and Wii U makes it seem that Nintendo only has boom or bust as it's two sales potentials. The Switch is following the typical sales pattern of a traditionally successful console. When is the last time that's been the case for Nintendo? SNES?
It is on all the numbers they updated... which means the wiiu DID SOLD SOMETHING in 2018 ! =O
20M is sell-through, so not exactly the same. Shipment was 22.3M.
But If we remove the 1st holiday of PS4 (FY13Q3) on the market and add FY15Q1, we get 20.8M though. (source: http://www.sie.com/en/corporate/data/hardware_sale.html )
1.98M last year same quarter iirc. Sold almost 3M next quarter last year.
Wii x 3DS x Wii U x NSW shipments, by quarter basis, launch-aligned
Switch is selling better than the 3DS.

piracy is a thing too so a lot of people illegally downloaded switches which won't be included in this number

If I didn't have a Wii U already it's a wonderful time to go shopping now, GameStop Italy was just selling both Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Bayonetta 1+2 at 12 euros each, and even stuff like Mario Maker is under 30 euros right now
It's easier to be up when your sales were very low to begin with.
Yeah that's not happening this year. At least I doubt it with Labo and a Xenoblade 2 Expansion being all they have to rely on for this quarter. But Q4 should be YUGE.
XBox One X doing work. Mid-gen refreshes are going to become industry standard.
