Despite Nintendo Switch 2 sales dropping by 37% it is still 6 million ahead of original Switch
By Google News Technology ·
Some fans were a little disheartened to learn earlier this week that Nintendo Switch 2 sales had dropped by 37%, which isn’t a small percentage by any means. However, thanks to data gathered by VGC the console is still performing well and is 6 million ahead of the Nintendo Switch when launched aligned.
It is also ahead of the PlayStation 5 when launched aligned, but that console was admittedly severely supply constrained for a long time post-launch. But still, it’s great to see the Nintendo Switch 2 continue to be a hit with consumers.
I assume it was because of the Zelda Special Edition consoles that released one week earlier to ocarina of time, for some reason.
I believe it has something to with it including the game bundle as well.
No… these Switch 2 sales are only as of September 30th. Everything that happened with the Zelda special edition Switch 2 or Ocarina of Time won’t be reported on until February of NEXT year.
Sickr has to go with that headline for clicks.
Yeah, I really appreciate how accurate and to the point it is. Sickr is great :)
Sony Xbox and all these other chip and memory users are just going along with the big three memory makers and their play to grift off the customer base. It’s way too convenient that soon as we started to get smaller on our chips which should have equaled the other ones go down in cost magically we have a shortage. Then ai stepped in and they have a new scapegoat for not putting out products.
If you think for a second that our governments around the world if the memory and silicon was in real dire straits, you think they would let the tech industry buy it all up for data centers or video game consoles? Have some common sense. It would go to military only at that point.
Do poor sales numbers affect the stock?? Looks like i will just hold longer if so.
