We know that the Nintendo Switch was a hot product during the holiday season. It’s not clear how much it has sold worldwide during the all-important months of October and December 2017. However, one analyst believes it could have shifted another seven million units globally over that time period. If that’s true then it could have surpassed Wii U sales in a period of ten months, which would be astounding.
Analyst says Nintnedo might have sold 7 million Switch units in Oct-Dec globally, which would bring life-to-date figure at more than 14.6 million. Nintendo reports its 3rd FY-quarter results at the end of this month. pic.twitter.com/qZGGWOKMpB

That would be huge!
That’s what she said. X3
Of note, unlike the others in the industry, Nintendo sells their hardware at a profit, even at launch. While Sony and Microsoft were losing money for each PS4 and Xbox sold at launch in order to compete for market share, Nintendo is making money in each Switch.
Actually Sony was selling every PS4 for like an $18 profit when it launched. Not sure if they also make a profit on the Pro out of the box though.
Oh really? That’s an interesting change from their strategy on previous platforms.
Yeah it was. I think it was the first time they actually made a profit from hardware sales. Ps2 and ps3 were especially costly to produce.
Wrong, it was reported that they sold the ps4 at a loss. They recouped the loss with every piece of software sold AND have plus, tjey wpuld make a small profit, but the box itself was sold at a loss.

In other words, Sony is going broke again. lol
No, not necessarily, theyve been working this way for a long time. Theyre just smarter this gen around. The loss was a lot smaller, so they were able to make it up with software sales. Of course, this was in its first year, Sony has since turned it all around, and they has been making profit off of hardware and software. Sony is safe, at least the PS brand.
You lost me at “just smarter”. Ehem, PSN…no PS3 backward compatibility…no cross platform play.
Smarter for them, not for the end user. To me theyre bottom tier of the 3. They only have 2 games that interest me and theyre not even out. Psn is trash, and as you said, no BC. Cross play is meh to me.
Compared to sony of last gen, they have been a lot smarter this time around.
Oh please. They’re surviving on brand name alone, nothing more plus PS is Sony’s only life line while they’re going bankrupt everywhere else. Xbox only exist because slowly gamers are becoming numb headed morons forgetting how to set and support proper gaming standards and that the PC exists.
You lost me at calling xbox gamers morons *yawn* come try to debate a topic when you realize that people have different taste in EVERYTHING and your way of seeing things, isnt the only way. Have fun playing with whatever box you play with.
I see crossplay as a positive for gamers because it’ll widen the audience for online play and keep it interesting. However, it may be more strain for programming and servers which is to be expected regardless or crossplay or solitary.
I don’t remember ever seeing that report. This is the report I was referencing. It cane out a couple months after the one you posted. I suppose if Sony said that though it’s true.

I wouldnt put much faith in IHS, theyre the same people that said that the PS3 was still being sold at a lost when Sony had already said they were making a profit. That being said, Sony reiterated that same quote a few times before and a bit after the PS4 released. Which wasnt out of the ordinary, since its how Sony has worked for a while, lose on the hardware and make it up with the software. MS is the same way. If I remember correctly though, Sony started making a profit off the PS4 a bit before it turned 1 year old.
Personally, I think that’s an overestimation. I think it sold around 6, which is still good. We’ll see though.

I still wanna know how much it did from December. I’m damn sure it already beaten that pedestrian turd Pii U by now. lol
Damn straight it’s a hot system.
You’ve really got to hand it to “Nintnedo”. Yikes.

How many people have more than one switch per house? Definitely can’t imagine sharing one.
