How many Nintendo Switch 2 console units will be sold on the first day and week of its release?

@teezzy I might need you to put some Chamomile tea on the stove for me my boy, the stakeout tonight for a pre-order is going to be a bit more intense than anticipated

If Nintendo store is getting 550k, how much are the retailers getting? Will Japan get 2 mill in total for launch? Or did Nintendo allocated more to Japan after seeing the preorder demands?

This launch is going to be huge and only thing holding Switch 2 back will be stock!!

I'm starting to feel silly with my 3 million prediction. It's going to be north of 10. Japan is going to likely be around a million if that figure is right.

If the Nintendo store is getting 550k. 1 mill total for Japan is too low. Retailers only getting about 500k, they will riot!

Retailers gotta be a million or more units for launch.

Yeah, this thing is going to outsell Wii U in the first year alone.

Even though I changed my guess from 5 million to 7 million sold in the first week, seems like the actual number could be even higher if not much higher. But I'll keep the 7 million sold first week answer from here on out

Potentially in one quarter even

Potentially in one quarter even

Nintendo projection is 18 million first year! But someone said 20 million but I could verify!

I hope it is sold out and scalped to hell. I have an extra unit I will need to sell at launch.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that they were expected to have between 5-7million units available through the end of the year. That's why I guessed 6million.

I have a feeling I'm going to have an extra one as well. I'm probably going to grab one at Sam's club on launch day because I just don't trust a shipped package to not get stolen.

I had 4 preorders and if I was absolutely sure we'd have some crazy scalper situation, maybe I'd have kept all 4 lol

But I decided to be conservative and only kept 2.

 

[WhatIsThis?]

I said 4, because I have no idea what the standard is.

PS4 and PS5 has record about 4.5mill launch month!

Switch 2 is projected 6-8 million.

 

[Stopped_Cold_29]

I'll wait a month or two. The hype will die down a bit before it ramps up for Christmas in late September

Yea, based on PS4&5, I'd say 6-8 for Switch 2 as well. Possibly more if the stock is there.
