Welp, RIP to my prediction numbers 😞That's 906k+ units for the Switch in March
PS4 should be around 316k and XBO around 276k
MLB managing to break sales when there isn't even a baseball season is honestly crazy.
Also I'm a bit confused by the Persona sales. Does March NPD just end on March 31? So all of those sales are from the first day?
Craziness.
What was the total in Japan again? Something like 950k? And they needed to ship 1.5m units in Q4 to hit their FY goal?
We're probably looking at a 21-22m sold FY result.

Do you mean March or YTD in JP? 'cause W10-13 in Japan is 50+57+392+282=781k for March, missing a few days from W9 and W14.
Why would a publisher bring games to a console where they won't sell? Especially given they will likely have to downgrade the game significantly to even run?
Look, I hate EA as much as the next guy, but it's not hard to see why they'd rather focus on higher-end platforms.
Baffling. Huge.
Not sure if boasting about your own economic strength is a good idea in these times.
Remember when people thought the 800-900k predictions were way too optimistic? lol
Also why the heck is Nintendo not releasing a PR? These are insane results.
I cancel my pre order and go digital for AC, my GF too.EDIT: Also, I'd be curious to see how purchasing trends have changed due to COVID-19. Digital sales have to be way up and Animal Crossing has to be one of the biggest benefactors.

Nintendo putting up holiday numbers in March.
The Switch was destined to sell 100+ million. The Wii had a great start, but it fell off. The Switch has a slower start than the Wii, BUT it paces itself much better throughout it's life and grows on occasions
Animal Crossing: New Horizons achieved the 3rd highest launch month physical dollar and unit sales of any Nintendo published game in tracked history. Only Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Dec 2018) and Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Mar 2008) sold more in the launch month.
What a monster.
They got multiplayer trophies again? Damn that sucks. So their more difficult to achieve than sixteens?
Which is just insane. The greatest turnaround in video game history. The GC to Wii wasn't this huge.We don't get actual numbers in these reports. We'll hear how much it sold through March 31st at the earnings release on May 7th.
Honestly it feels like we're looking at a DS-like sales curve rather than a Wii one, albeit at a lesser magnitude. I could see something like 125M lifetime at this point.
Oh yeah DS/Wii crazy days are back!
