That figure of 20 million units sold by the end of the next FY isn’t just not looking crazy at all, it’s actually starting to seem rather on the conservative end. 

Crazier still is that Super Mario Odyssey is already up to 9.07 million units sold, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is up to 7.33 million, and Breath of the Wild is up to 6.70 million. Oh, and Xenoblade is already sitting at 1.06 million units sold!

Warms my heart to see Nintendo thriving once again.

Nine million for Odyssey, in what two months!! That's insane. Eurogamer reporting that that's more than Battlefront 2 sold on PC/PS4/XBO combined! 14 million Switches in 9 months is crazy

Xenoblade over a million too

Indeed. The industry as a whole seems to be really doing well, which is great for gamers, whatever their console choice.

Absolutely. With Nintendo back in the game we can all be happy to live in these times when console gaming was supposed to be dead :D


Really happy to see Nintendo doing well :) Pretty confident that they'll keep it up :peace:

Very impressive numbers indeed! I’m very curious how third party games are doing though as that will be the most important factor in getting continued 3rd party support in the future.

Especially Fifa, Doom, Skyrim, Rocket League, LA Noire, and later on Dead Souls and Wolfenstein are key titles.

I read a comment on Resetera saying that there were two third party titles that sold over 1 million units, I'm assuming one is Mario + Rabbids (it counts as 3rd party because Ubisoft published it) so it'll be interesting to see what the other one is.

My guess would be Minecraft

Ah, that's a good shout. I didn't even consider it. I reckon Skyrim is probably nudging 1m considering it's a sale juggernaut on every platform it gets released on. I really want to know how well FIFA has sold on the Switch, it's apparently done well enough for EA to offer continued support to the platform and it seems to be selling quite consistently.

I wonder how close Odyssey is to FIFA 18's sales on all platforms, VG Chartz is pretty out of date but as of December 1st FIFA had sold 8.6m copies worldwide. They would have probably sold quite a lot over Xmas though, does anyone know when EA reveal their sales data?

Can’t be.  It’s not available at retail, how would they have the numbers?

 

It’s probably Super Bomberman R.  It broke the 500k mark quite a while ago and it absolutely wouldn’t surprise me to hear that it crawled to a million.

I know it’s not saying all, and it’s an old article, but: https://www.slashgear.com/mario-zelda-are-not-the-nintendo-switchs-top-sellers-in-japan-06490725/

It was number two in total sales in Japan halfway last year (if the article’s correct).

Minecraft is what kids play these days, together with PUBG, Rocket League, etc.

So let’s wait and see, third party sales are very important for Nintendo.

The figures Nintendo discussed today are inclusive of all eShop sales so I would assume the same is true for the third party numbers.
