Kezay Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Running late with this but we still in the game! Without further ado: (Link to data here) The data for the final quarter and full fiscal year information is in and it makes for a nice snapshot as to just how healthy the Switch ecosystem of things is as it surpasses 107M in sales globally. (and that's without any meaningful price drop whatsoever!) Software wise there are some interesting chart movers. Kirby & The Forgotten Land managed well over 2M after less than a week on sale up to when tracking for Q4 ended. It's likely well on its way to becoming the best selling Kirby at this rate. Speaking of best selling, Metroid Dread officially surpassed Metroid Prime to become the best selling Metroid title in the series. It has been a crawl (heh) but it's a nice return to form for Samus to hopefully put the franchise back on the map as a prime (heh-heh) pillar in Nintendo's stable. Here's to hoping we get some info on Metroid Prime 4 soon! Continuing the train, Skyward Sword HD has surpassed the sales of the original release on Wii; additionally, Pokemon Legends Arceus managed to nearly double it's total sales count since the previous quarter. It's already tracking to potentially surpass every other Pokemon title released on Switch thus far, not name Sword/Shield, by the time the next quarter rolls around. With Scarlet and Violet pegged as the big holiday releases it still has time to continue racking up numbers before everyone starts moving towards the next in line.

DLurkster Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Really impressed with Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I bring those up because this is the first pretty much mainline Pokemon game with a single SKU to sell that much. If there was 2 it would of sold as well as Pokemon S&S in LTD sales. That's crazy! Kirby, besides this was gonna sell in how reinvigorated this outing to sell that much in 6 days before the fiscal year end is almost on the same sales trajectory PLA sold in that timeframe. Congrats to Metroid Dread to being the best selling Metroid game ever. I want to be 3+ million plus. really thought it would at hat point. It probably is now. I can't say if the free update before the fiscal cut off began but it should of done more to me. Just glad we broke that Metroid ceiling. I honestly had no expectations of how much over 100 miliion Switch are out there. We sure are gonna pass PS4 and GB LTD sales sometime this year. We are so close, I can taste it! As for the legendary DS and PS2 LTD sales, I say in the next 2 full fiscal years will beat if Nintendo keeps the estimates of sales of hardware and have software to play. Despite chip shortage it is affecting Nintendo the least than Sony and Microsoft and we Nintendo is mostly outselling PS5 and Xbox series in NPD sales each month. Just keep pumping those software and we can surpass DS and PS2. I wasn't sure it was possible like a year ago we could imagine we could pass PS2 and DS overall hardware but this is starting to look like a reality now! Quote Link to comment
