[Nintendo HP] News Release “Worldwide sales of Nintendo Switch 2 surpass 3.5 million units in the first four days after launch” has been posted.
Naso
nin
The Switch sold 1.5 million units in a week, right?
It’s sales like a super popular game software.
Smash hit
It’s not enough.
Please increase production quickly.
Have we prepared about 4 million units of the main unit?
I just prayed for 4 lose.png at the Yodobashi lottery yesterday.
About one-third domestic?
>>8If you’re saying that much, it seems like there should be some good news about the economy from software and other sectors…
>>8I think it’s less than a quarter.
During the Switch era, it was about 1:2:1 in Japan, the US, and Europe, right?
We can reach 1,000 units by the end of the year.
This should be amazing, right…?
>>10The fact that they have prepared this many at the initial stage is itself abnormal.
I don’t think I was naive or that I narrowed it down too much.
There were simply too many buyers.
It’s still painful that I can’t get it.
Is it still only that widespread in the world?
Has it already surpassed the total number of Neo Geo Pocket and WonderSwan?
>>14Stop it, because comparing it to weird things doesn’t really convey its greatness.
>>19There shouldn’t be anything strange directed towards a well-documented handheld device for enthusiasts.
>>38The Neo Geo Pocket aside, the WonderSwan is definitely aimed at the general audience!
>>19It’s selling at more than double the pace of the Switch.
It’s normally conveyed how amazing it is.
Cannot buy.
I still can’t buy it.
↑
People who are outside of 3.5 million.
Please provide the text you would like me to translate.
The first week of Switch 1 is 1.5 million, so it is about 2 million more.
It’s a celebration, but please let me make a reservation too!
In simple calculations, if it’s 20%, then it would be less than 100 in terms of what is considered domestic.
Well, I don’t really understand the distribution.
But after all, the Switch 2 has weak software…
I’m good with just the Switch…
>>24How foolish.
If a crazy software is released the moment it goes on sale, then those who can’t buy it will start a riot.
>>26This is really true.
I’m a bit frustrated that I can’t play Mario Kart yet.
>>24It’s tough to say that the software is weak when the latest installment of the best-selling game on Switch is being released and it’s selling more than twice as much!
>>24The software is weak, yet it’s selling so well—won’t it get even crazier when a strong software is released?
>>24When they say the software is weak, they’re talking about something like the WiiU.
I want to know the number of domestic units.
Isn’t the software deliberately not released to avoid a panic?
Even if I choose one that seems to have a good margin, I can only make this much?
Since I can’t buy it, this is bad news.
Maybe around 700,000 in the country.
If it’s 100, it seems like the announcement would be quicker.
It’s selling as well as Night Rain.
I’m hoping to buy it by October…
Even so, it’s still not too much, you know…
>>361 is at the level of 90 million units worldwide.
Even this tenfold is still not enough.
The stability of Switch software has improved significantly, which is already something to be grateful for.
>>37I saw the comparison of Pokémon’s movements and it really feels like a different thing, I was amazed by the Switch 2.
>>64In this case, the original Pokémon is just too crappy.
>>74The original optimization of the game was terrible, creating a strange composition where its true potential is being showcased.
Reducing the resolution and locking it at 30fps, or simplifying the models for optimization means that the game doesn’t take full advantage of the Switch 2’s performance.
>>93It’s really funny that a game that was forcefully ported and received harsh criticism is now improving its rating.
>>154I want a list of games that have different behavior on Switch2, since that’s why I’m buying them.
>>93On the contrary, Nintendo is the one being forced to create an upgraded version…
>>173Nintendo’s has also changed the texture, after all…
>>74Huh?
Seriously, you should try playing Pokémon SV again in the second version.
It’s become something entirely different.
It has already reached 2.2 million people.
The quality of Mario Kart is around 80 points, so there still feels like a sense of calm.
Well, Mario Kart World is quite fun too…
If you like Mario, you won’t regret buying it.
It will be interesting to see when games like Smash Bros and Animal Crossing come out.
Well, there’s really no software at all.
It’s not time to panic yet.
It’s clear that strong software will be released in the future, so just looking at the current software situation doesn’t provide a reason not to buy.
If I’ve made this much, I can confidently say I have prepared plenty!
Whoa, there are just too many applications!
>>47There were some lenient conditions, but that was really unusual, wasn’t it?
I used to think, “Where’s the risk, you idiot?” but this is risky…
If you have that much, sell some to me too.
If anything, I can see the air rider coming up soon…
It’s a lot, but you could say it’s a quantity that doesn’t even make sense.
If there is supply, it seems like we could reach the total PS5 sales domestically by the end of the year…
>>52The sales figure of just under 7 million units is the number that can be achieved in a year for the Switch, so expecting it in just six months is unreasonable…
I only thought it would be good if I could buy it by the time of the air rider, but now I feel like I should be more anxious about it.
>>53Since 2025 is being hinted at, it feels like it might be around the end of the year, but it could surprisingly come sooner.
It’s not enough.
Regarding the first week, it’s clear that I was prepared to the point where it’s physically difficult to ask for more.
The only question is how much you will prepare for the continued shipments…
If Animal Crossing were to come out in this situation, it would be a hellish scene…
I don’t really want it.
>>57You already have it, huh…
The unexpectedly successful Switch sold 2.7 million units worldwide in one month.
In four days, producing 3.5 million units is at a level of overproduction, even for Nintendo.
I was also not selected for Famima.
I want it already.
I wasn’t even chosen by 3.5 million people.
I want to secure it before the announcement of the 10th generation of Pokémon and Animal Crossing…
The difficulty of obtaining it will definitely increase again.
Can we ramp up production from here?
After all, it’s obvious that the launch period for any hardware is the time when there are the least amount of software available.
Switch1 had no compatibility and was technically weak when it was first released.
>>65I wonder how many people are aware of titles other than 12Switch and Breath of the Wild as launch titles for the Switch.
Actually, games like Mario and ARMS are not launch titles.
>>91Blaster Master Zero and Flying Bumburn are great!
Actually, I enjoyed Blaster Master Zero the most…
>>91I remember Disgaea 5.
I cleared BotW in March, and the timing was perfect for the gap until Mario Kart at the end of April.
I’m playing Breath of the Wild again during breaks from Mario Kart, and the loading times are clearly faster…
>>66The loading of G Generation is incredibly fast.
Some of the Switch1 software has become more comfortable.
New releases for Pokémon, Mario, Zelda, Kirby, and Splatoon are also confirmed.
It’s okay if the launch is a bit weak.
There are so many idiots who buy it…
Now that the concept of reselling has become commonplace, it must be too scary for Nintendo to simply be pleased or to reconsider production based on these numbers.
>>68This is not the shipment number.
>>79World sales have exceeded 3.5 million units.
For now, it’s just Mario Kart, so I can manage even if I can’t get it.
If there had been a new Zelda release at launch, I would have lost my mind.
What was all the fuss about yesterday when they were saying that the unnamed was bombing and not selling well?
>>72Is there anyone who takes what the bald guy says seriously?
>>72If I had really flopped, I wouldn’t be here crying about being rejected even after the release.
>>72Given how much noise there is about the lottery, it’s unbelievable if you think about it logically.
Just not ordinary.
It’s amazing that the PS5 only sold 120,000 units in its launch week.
I want to play Bravely Default…
I’m curious about how many domestic versions have been released.
I’ve heard that making it is tough, but I wonder how amazing this is.
Yesterday, there was a quiet announcement of a new Splatoon title, so I wonder when the competition will settle down…
>>85Well, the new Splatoon is currently in active development, so it will probably be released in the latter half of next year.
There is no reason to be that impatient.
It was already a given that a new release would eventually come out in 2 anyway.
>>127The update for Splatoon 3 on Switch 2 is tomorrow…
>>286That’s addressing a compatibility bug.
Hamamura said that if it exceeds 3 million units, it’s the dominant hardware, right?
That was quick.
Shall I tell you the story of when I was doing the Bim Bam Bom at the launch of switch1?
If you concentrate domestically, everyone could have won the official reservations, right?
I wonder how many people are active.
It looks overdone just by the text! But in reality, it’s scary how insufficient it is.
There are kids with IDs, but where have they been causing a stir?
When the outcome is such a hot topic, it makes me curious about how much is shipped domestically in Japan.
It’s likely the number one in shipments for Nintendo hardware by a wide margin.

It’s less than I thought.
I heard you were preparing 7 million in stock.
I want to do Shine Post too.
The initial response is amazing, but there are various bugs that are lacking.
I wonder how much is flowing into the resale market.
Send the surplus you have overseas to Japan.
>>102It’s a multilingual version, is that okay?
It is not the demand for hardware immediately after its release.
As expected, should we switch to a multilingual version or hold a lottery?
I can’t handle the Mario Kart set.
>>104If you order the multilingual version together with Marika at the time of payment, you can receive a discount equivalent to that of the Marika set.
The bald guy here is just crazy…
At least give an apology for the shortage.
>>107It’s not in short supply.
Isn’t the number of people who hit the jackpot among the first 2.2 million really small…?
>>108I think I hit about 500,000, so while it’s a small percentage, the amount is still large.
In the first week, even though it was for the whole world, they had prepared about 4 million units and were likely feeling optimistic before the reservations started.
Then I would be surprised if it suddenly comes to 2.2 million with a conditional reservation lottery…
I want to say “awesome,” but since it hasn’t reached my hands yet, I can’t really be happy about it.
I wish they would stop the automatic entries for the lottery so that my chances of winning could increase, even just a little.
>>111I don’t think I’ll run into someone with that kind of temperament.
>>111It’s good because I just finished.
It feels ridiculous that there are probably a ton of users who meet the criteria while the lottery is still open for entries for the new squid release announcement.
I wonder if they were accumulating inventory over the course of a year.
It seems that the domestic version crack will be a multilingual version.
If negative campaigns had any influence, My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen in Jump would have been canceled long ago.
Since there is almost only a lottery and first-come-first-served sold out immediately, effectively, shipments equal sales numbers, right?
>>115They don’t have a lottery overseas.
It seems that it’s normally sold abroad, so we can say that the demand in Japan is unusual.
>>116I think it would have sold out instantly if it were 50,000 overseas.
>>116Even if they say it’s normally sold, it’s usually the kind of stuff that they don’t take reservations for and just put out in the store.
And it’s sold out.
>>140It seems that you can normally buy it without it being sold out.
>>150It seems that way.
>>150Where specifically is it?
At least in America, the major large retailers have all gone out of business.
I can still tolerate Mario Kart, but I really want to play Pokémon 2, so I want to get it somehow before then.
In other words, it’s on the level of a WonderSwan…
>>119That’s the total sales number.
Not the initial response.
>>133In other words, it means WonderSwan level every week…
I don’t care about sales numbers, just come to me!
>>121The more the production number, the higher the probability, so it can’t be irrelevant…
I am interested in the percentage of those that were activated and connected online.
I’m also too lazy to put on the film, so I haven’t opened it yet.
Even though I don’t even know if Splatoon will be released any more, it seems like it’s going to get tough again since they’ve announced information about a new spin-off.
I want you to wait until I secure the Pro Controller 2, even for that kind of information.
Because the total global sales volume is 3.5 million units.
It must have been unexpected to have 2.2 million domestically…
There are rumors that resold items can get your account banned, but that’s pretty crazy.
>>128That’s just an account on an online shopping site that got banned, so it doesn’t matter.
>>128I can’t do something like that…
The Switch sold 2.74 million units in one month (from March 3 to March 31).
What a great start!
>>130It seems they couldn’t prepare many due to concerns about the Wii U.
>>138Hey, aren’t you super prepared…?
>>130However, there seems to be a limit to how many can physically increase, so it doesn’t look like the numbers will grow significantly from here.
Can we reach 4 million?
Is that all you made? That’s too little, isn’t it?
>>132Do you know the first-week sales numbers of past hardware?
The PS5 sold less than the Virtual Boy…
>>141What are you looking at? It’s the PSVR2, right?
>>141The Virtual Boy didn’t sell well, but the PS5 is intentionally not being sold.
I’m not that interested in Mario Kart, so it’s okay if I don’t win the lottery yet…
I was thinking that way, but after yesterday’s Splatoon news, I suddenly want it even more.
Well, it will probably take a while until the release anyway.
Somehow, those who are reporting their wins are starting to look like enemies to me.
Now that information about the high odds of winning in the multilingual version has spread so widely.
I don’t really think the odds are that great at the moment.
It’s funny that the SV field is overflowing with WaraWara Pokémon and it’s not lagging.
By the way, I bought it somewhere else, but it’s still the same as Nintendo’s lottery.
“Please line them up so they can’t be resold…”
No matter what, I will only buy through legitimate means.
Hurry up and hit it so I don’t miss my chance.
Finally, I received an invitation from Amazon!
100 yen coupon giveaway for daily necessities, food, beauty, pets, and baby products.
Damn it.
You might need at least double.
Isn’t it strange that the original PSVR sold so well but had so few software titles?
>>156There were quite a lot of software, you know?
There are still many games that can only be played on PSVR, which is troublesome.
>>156PS users were watching VRAV without buying software…
If you’re going to buy a multilingual version, it’s probably cheaper to just buy it with Mario Kart on Mercari.
>>158I might get banned.
>>158Resale vendor’s response.
Get out of here!
Surprisingly quiet, huh…
I thought it would produce even crazier numbers…
>>159You’re seriously messed up…
>>159There are also physical limitations.
>>159I think I would have gone more if there had been more.
If it’s 3 million in 4 days, then it will reach 10 million in a month.
Well, it’s probably not that simple, though.
>>160Production can’t keep up, it’s impossible.
The goal is 15 million by March next year.
>>160The problem of not being able to produce that much.
>>160It’s a problem of factory production.
>>189I wonder which is harder to produce, high-performance devices equipped only with gaming processing capabilities like the PS5 and XBOX, or multifunctional devices like the Switch 2 that incorporate displays and peripherals.
>>229I don’t know the difficulty since I haven’t seen the factory, but generally speaking, the Switch 2 is faster because it has fewer parts and is smaller.
Nintendo expects the prices to stabilize soon, right?
If the lottery is for those peripherals and you really want them at the store, it seems like even if you have the main unit, you would still have to apply again, and depending on the circumstances, the lottery might end up being excessively harsh.
I can understand Nintendo’s feelings, thinking that producing this large quantity would be enough to meet the initial demand.
>>163Looking at the past starting sales, it’s clearly way overproduced.
There’s nothing we can do about this.
Is the most amazing thing happening with SV?
The sales number in the first week of release is also a result of selling all the stock that was prepared in advance at once.
From here on, it will be a gradual input of the production batch.
I got rejected at Yodobashi, Kojima, and FamilyMart just yesterday and today.
When is it… when is it…!?
>>171I will definitely come back someday…
They will probably increase production by the end of the year.
>>174Initial shipment to increase from 3.5 million?
In Canada, I could normally go to the store and buy it on the afternoon of the release date.
I’m irritated.
That’s a pretty crazy number, isn’t it?
Nintendo must think that the most.
The demand is really ten times this, right?
Switch1 saw someone named Anonymous enjoying Zelda and thought, “I should buy one too,” and had enough money to do so at first… but apparently, after a while, they couldn’t buy it anymore.
By the way, the total worldwide sales of the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast are about 9 million units each.
I love Goki-chan Suuji ❤️ Suuji ❤️, but when it comes to inconvenient numbers, you go silent, huh? 🤗
VR itself seems interesting, but because of the weight and the hassle of putting it on, it just doesn’t seem likely to catch on.
The Switch2’s packaging has definitely gotten slimmer, hasn’t it?
I wonder how many times 3.5 million is compared to the number of people on the bulletin board.
>>186If you only look at Mario Kart at night, there are probably around 50 people, I guess.
I’ll be arriving in a few hours.
I’ll play Mario Kart first.
>>190It will take about three more days over here.
Have fun!
>>190Racing is fun, but leisurely driving through the field is also enjoyable, so hurry up and come!
>>217It’s actually fun and a bit troublesome just watching it lazily on the title screen without touching any buttons.
It’s surprisingly safe driving, or rather, there are strange discoveries.
>>239Well, dangerous driving on roads that are generally used by regular vehicles is…
Well, I can’t help but think that if that’s the case, you should wear a helmet too.
When it comes down to it, a major accident happens…
