Only reason you would compare wii + ds sales number with anything is if your goal is to show how much mobile gaming has affected dedicated gaming devices. If that is your goal you also need to compare PS3 + PSP with PS4 + Vita.
I think the 3DS + wiiu comparison is dumb as that combo barley made any money. But we can have the comparison and it looks like Nintendo is doing great with one system instead of two.
The OG+Lite combined figures for MC match exactly with the Famitsu Lite numbers (both at 178k). I wonder if there was a mistake with one of the reports misinterpreting the Lite numbers as both models combined or vice-versa?
Nintendo did actually give some regional weekly sell-through graphs on the last few fiscal reports, if I remember correctly. But I think the JP numbers are sourced from MC, so it won't clear up this situation unless there indeed was a mistake with the MC report.

Famitsu report is clear. If such mistake happened it's from Bloomberg side. Dengeki will (likely) give the solution.
if they'll talk about sell through again this time, it definitely won't be 1st week only. it'll be 11 days and at that point not many people cares about whether the reported mc 1st week number is correct or not.
Wow that's one of the biggest discrepancies I've seen since I started following MC (if it's true)
Yup, lets begin comparing Wii+DS, 3DS+WiiU to the Switch+Switch. In fact we should compare all video game families.
The big story we should be talking about is the MASSIVE drop for PS3+PSP to PS4+Vita. A total disaster.
and it's going to drop even more with Next Gen around the corner and no portable hardware for Sony
I get comparing it to 3DS+ Wii U... well not quite, but I at least kinda get it. DS+Wii is a useless comparison for any console that has ever existed or will ever exist.
Yes, unless you achieve some sort of a miracle, your system is NOT gonna sell 250 million units. You could handily beat PS2 and still fall way short of that goal.

Like Chris said we didn't get the numbers from MC but from Bloomberg so Famitsu appears to be more reliable.
Why would Bloomberg misreport the numbers? How would that happen?
They maybe thought that 177k was for the Lite + OG and substracted 62k to have the Lite number ?
That does make sense, especially if it's an infamous case of non-Japanese people trying to decipher Japanese reports. That 178k number is suspicious as hell lol
The number is frankly incredible, so that it very nice. Lite should hold above OG for a while, so I think we will see 100k+ weeks for the rest of the year.
We missed you man haha, all sorts of craziness has been happening in this thread it seems.
The way the math works out on the units does indeed make me think that Bloomberg fubar-ed the interpretation of the numbers in their report. It'll be interesting to see how the OG Switch holds up the next few weeks.
That's wild that the Switch can potentially sell more than both it's console and portable predecessors combined.
Edit: Worldwide of course. There is 0% chance of that happening in Japan.
With such big numbers now I'm even more curious about how much evergreen games will he affected.
"Even more sense"? Implying that it even made a lick of sense prior to this?
Pray tell. And consider the above comments too which you haven't responded to yet.
Let's redo this one :P
1. Week 49 2018: 281,222
2. Week 50 2018: 281,213
3. Week 51 2018: 278,701
4. Week 51 2017: 269,684
5. Week 38 2019: 239,722
6. Week 50 2017: 221,210
7. Week 46, 2018: 200,850
8. Week 1, 2019: 199,982
It's like an AI looking at an archive of MC posts and just putting out common phrases.
It'll from having 2 months worth of 200k plus sales to 3 months by mid January 2020. Animal Crossing just might get it there again too.
LOL.
Well, bigger numbers are better, so I can't be worried about such procedures.
Haha I knew this was coming. So transparent...
Ironically enough the Switch will utterly destroy Wii U+3DS.
As for Wii+DS... well if it's all about combing them together all of a sudden now, how close has anyone else ever come to selling 255 million pieces of hardware in a single generation? Sony has never come close. It also means Nintendo has four generations where they sold 100 million consoles.
Nah, there were some prediction around 150k-200k if there was a big enough shipment to support that. I dont think that too far fetched considering that the Switch Lite was announced a while ago, so people had a longer awareness time of the product existing/coming, and most importantly, the Switch Lite having a 10k yen cheaper price tag. My prediction was 150k-200k, but i do believe i was thinking of the Switch overall, including the older model as well. Going by the Famitsu numbers, it sold better than even my highest expectation =)
