Switch vs 3DS
For those that miss the Media Create threads, here's some graphs.
Wow the Switch has almost caught the PS4 then IIRC. Pretty impressive. Japan loves their handhelds.
Oops, guess I was a bit off. In any case, yeah definitely not surprising to see Zelda selling under a million. Do agree with BotW potentially hitting 1m though.
Don't take it as fact, but I think PS4 sold in the 800k-1 million range.
PS4 started quite a bit slower than WiiU.
The Blessed Kimishima of Good Fortune shines upon us.
Wtf lol
Kimishima has serious gif/pic potential.
Yeah, it didn't go too far from 1m.
The next milestone will be 3D Land which is past 2m. Odyssey will definitely do that.
Great result for Mario and Switch. Supply in Japan is still very much constrained, with several Chains still doing lotteries and other stores selling out of their allocations within the hour. Switch probably could have kept up with or surpassed 3ds' 4.3 million if stock were available. The fact that it wasn't, though, means that elsewhere in the world Switch is selling briskly enough to warrant a good stock allocation. Healthy situation for Nintendo, and 2018 will likely see a lot of sales momentum as a result.
SMO passed 1 million, and will likely continue selling. 2 million should be almost certain, 3 million is the dream.
Besides that, Splatoon 2 has likely passed 1.5 million physical sales this week as well, MK8D passed 900k sales, and BOTW Switch passed 700k (appendages all with likely). Great sales for Nintendo.

Amazon Japan apparently had a very large shipment, and unless I am mistaken I think it's still available right now.
It is, it's on pace to be the best-selling Zelda in 20 years. That doesn't mean it'll do Mario or Splatoon numbers.
Breath of the Wild will do a million eventually. It will just take a bit longer but it has shown to be able to sell consistently with hardware. Considering Wii U and digital it should already be around 900k.
Haha! Poor Luigi. Worst part is I didn't care to finish any of the "Year of Luigi" games I played."You see what I can a-do? And to think we wasted a whole year on a-YOU."
Luigi got his chance to shine in Mario Kart 8 as the meme of the game that got the game to sell like hotcakes on a dwindling failure Wii-U"You see what I can a-do? And to think we wasted a whole year on a-YOU."
In Japan?
It will overtake it next year. Might've done this year already if not for the well-documented shortages in Japan.
The Switch is doing very well!
Knowing what these numbers could be is a bit frustrating but I guess Nintendo is doing the best it can.
So next week's tracking is where it surpasses the Wii U.

For context, here's some work by silpheed-mcd:
SMO is the best-selling 3D Mario game in its first 8 weeks. Its only rival, Super Mario 3D Land, also had week 51 included in its first 8 weeks (week 51 is by far the biggest week for software and hardware: it's the famous week where the 3DS sold 482k units, and SM 3D Land sold 200k in that week. It'll be interesting to see how many units SMO can sell that week.8 weeks: 3D Mario Ranking Sales by Famitsu (no digital)

Super Mario Odyssey is so impressive, damn!
Week 9 for Super Mario 3D Land is: 84.986
SMO week 9 will blow that so easily ^^
Damn, this hurts so much, poor Luigi :("You see what I can a-do? And to think we wasted a whole year on a-YOU."
It sold better than BotW? For shame, Japan.
(I guess Zelda just isn't that popular over there.)
(In a perfect world the sales of both these games would be 1:1 with Switch hardware sales. Everyone needs to own both of them.)

Probably not. There wasn't tech to make a hybrid to surpass even the PS3 in 2013.
I think 2 million is a lock.
3 million, definitely possible. The title is going to be the charts for years to come. I mean Mario Kart 7 is still charting !
We're the ones who made it this far!
I really wish the game itself had the full version... it's too bad that the most meta verses in the song aren't in the game.
Switch seems to be on target to meet Nintendo's adjusted Fiscal Year target of 14 million. If I'm not mistaken it should also be on track to top Wii U LTD sales around the end of Dec/beginning of Jan, right?
Edit: end of Dec seems like a real possibility to pass Wii U LTD if stock holds.

So..........Fortnites producers reply to someone suggesting for it to come to the Nintendo switch
