Nintendo have barely added any updates to SMM2, which is kind of a game that requires constant updates.

This is the most surprising about all of this to me. Mario Maker lives off its active community of people who create and play new levels and it's pretty much basic wisdom that games like this need constant support to keep their playerbase engaged. And yet... Nintendo has barely done the bare minimum to keep Mario Maker 2 active. It's weird.
I'm not all that surprised NSMBU is doing better, though. There's a reason Mario platformers have been around for 30 years and a bunch of user created levels is just not a replacement for a proper Mario game. Mario Maker is great for the creative types, but that's not everyone's cup of tea.
I'm really curious about Switch Lite sales vs the standard Switch. Is there any info out there about the sales ratio between the two units?
You know why I'm here.
All hail Nomura! The one true tensai.

How much did the 360 sell in 2011? That was the 360 peak year in both in the US and worldwide right?
~7.3 million. The best year since then was the PS4 in 2015 (~5.7 million). Granted the Switch outperforming that year was a foregone conclusion.
Dunno if the source I found is correct but it said that the 360 did ~6.3 million a year later in 2012.
Maybe someone has access to data and can share them. It would be nice to know them.
Surprised to see Days Gone in the top 20 for the year.
Bummer no Death Stranding anywhere, its a brilliantly unique game and I wish more developers were encouraged to make unique games.
Is Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield two different games? Like is it just the same game with 2 different sets of pokemon or is are they actually different games?

I guess thats fair, although if NPD tracks dollars rather than units then it also makes sense to combine.
7.3M? That's.. a lot of consoles.
So probably somewhere in the 6.5M range give or take a few for the Switch this year I guess?
That is 100% wrong.
X360 did around 5.5 million in 2012

The old prediction archive had the 360 at ~5.3 million in 2012, so your source is probably incorrect
Combining the leaked results and estimates, the Switch was at roughly ~4.5 million after November. 6.3-6.5 million is probably a solid estimate imo.
I've got 4618K for the combined number so far. But yeah, around those numbers should be a pretty safe bet.
Damn that Xbox number though.. didnt realize it was that high.
2015 then? I thought ps4 peaked in its 4th year not 2nd
I'm actually surprised switch sold more in its best year vs PS4s best year
360 was a beast.
IIRC the PS4 did peak in 2017-globally. Individual markets don't automatically follow global trends though.
