 well well well apparently today is the day that we get updated on the switches sales numbers and the software sales numbers at least through June 30th now we thought we were gonna get an update back in June because they had a meeting towards the end of the month at least an update on what the switch numbers were to date but now we know now we know at least what they are up until July so there are no sales numbers included in this data from Nintendo for the past month but I mean that that's okay that's expected so here is where the switch stands as of June 30th worldwide it is sold 4.7 million units obviously if you include this month it's probably over five at this point especially with the release of Splatoon 2 but yeah 4.7 million units that that is the lifetime to date sales to put that in perspective at the same point for the Wii U it sold like 3.45 million units and the thing is 10 months after the Wii U came out it still had and broke 4 million units and now we're looking at the switches probably broken 5 million units by now that's just insane also with this sales data we get updates on game sales so it's probably no surprise that the number one selling game for Nintendo Switch is still Breath of the Wild which sold 3.92 million units on Nintendo Switch which is great that's already more than some others all the games and if these sales keep up by the end of the year this could end up being one of the best-selling Zelda games of all time just on the switch not counting Wii U sales the next best selling game is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at 3.54 million units I mean this is a a re-release a remastering of sorts of a Wii U game and it almost tied Breath of the Wild that just crazy arms which just released last month has already sold 1.18 million units and that is a brand new IP on a console that only has 4.7 million that that's an insane attach rate of arms to the amount of switches out there that is very very good news for arms as a new IP and as a potential of becoming a franchise so it's not a one-off game it could get sequels in the future even if it's a once per generation game like Smash Bros and Mario Kart generally are and that about does it for the million-sellers Switch we Nintendo's only given us the million-sellers here and they're obviously only talking about their games are not talking about third-party games and what those sales might be it's up to those companies to discuss those sales what's also really neat about this is we have something really cool media create they always post a week-to-week sales in Japan and normally I don't talk about them because you know there's nothing extremely notable but this this week is especially notable at least this new report from media create because this is the launch week of Splatoon 2 so Splatoon 2 in Japan launch week so 648 thousand units to put that in perspective the number two title on their list which is also a new game for 3ds Leighton's mystery journey by level 5 brand new number 270,867 so that's an insane amount Splatoon 2 is well on its way to top in a million maybe even 2 million units in Japan just Japan and to show you how big this impact was on the switch itself last week the switch sold about 32,000 units this week it sold about 99,000 units and it probably could have sold more but you know we all know the switches supply constrained so it is what it is and lifetime to date tend to switch is sold 1,196,986 units just in Japan so of that 4.7 million unit we know that 1.2 million of that is Japan and obviously this is insane this is really really good numbers the switch is doing really well really well that that's what the big takeaway from these numbers are also in general the Nintendo switch is sold 13.6 million units of software with 4.7 million hardware you know that gives it almost the three-to-one attach rate of software to hardware which means every switch owner essentially has at least three games or at least on average there are three games each switch owner owns which if I had to guess Mario Kart Zelda and arms or Mario Kart Zelda and some other you know other game in any game or whatever the case may be I don't know if indie game sales are counted in this or if it's just these are just physical sales I have no idea I don't know how Nintendo counts their units and it's important note that this is just an update for Q1 right because this includes obviously this is lifetime to date sales so this obviously includes launch month which was Q4 of last of last fiscal year but yeah this is really really good so essentially the switch from March has sold 2 million more units overall now that might seem like a small amount because launch month you know hey they sold 2.74 million in March but they only sold 2 million cents man the switch momentum's dying but that's not really what's happening Nintendo just can't make enough of these dang things they have production ramped up to the max and they just cannot meet demand you think they only wanted a hundred thousand units available in Japan when they sold 600,000 plus copies of of Splatoon 2 no if they had it their way they probably want you know 500,000 switches available in Japan for launch week of Splatoon because they probably would have sold every single one of them but it is it's what it is what to give you an idea just for the quarter sales switch hardware sold 1.97 million in this first quarter of this current fiscal year and switch software have sold 8.14 million for this fiscal quarter again kind of maintaining that momentum you know that that three-to-one game ratio also as a note obviously 3ds is still kind of a thing the 3ds hardware sold 950 case for this quarter and 5.85 million units of software for the quarter again a really nice attach rate you know six to one that's that's great stuff also their smart device and IP related income for the quarter was 9,062 million yen just a lot of money Nintendo's earning share from Pokemon Go is 3,286 million Nintendo made 81 million dollars for the smartphone games that are not Pokemon Go and Nintendo made to 29.4 million from Pokemon Go so overall they made over they made about 110 million dollars this is in USD off of smartphone stuff that's really really good yeah that there isn't really much more to say than that I mean I'm just looking at the official press release and you know it says there were a few type of amiibo compared to the same period last year few new titles offered amiibo functionality amiibo sales were approximately 1.6 million units for figure type and 1.3 million units for card type in our digital business sales digital versions of package software downloaded content and Nintendo switch showed study growth with total digital sales of 11 billion yen which is a 41% increase year-on-year yeah it I'm just glancing at the rest of this you know in addition the Super Nintendo entertainment system the Super NES Classic Edition is a compact recreation of the Super Nintendo entertainment system which launched in 1990 and it features a collection of 21 titles from Rich Library we plan to launch this system globally in September and October blah blah blah blah there are no revisions to the financial forecast for this period originally published on April 27 2017 and the big takeaway from that is Nintendo predicted that they would sell you know 10 million switches in this fiscal year now selling you know just under 2 million in the first quarter might seem like a bit of a bummer but we saw the holiday period coming that's usually as higher sales than normal plus there's still selling every unit there's no doubt in my mind that if they had 2.5 million switches available worldwide they would have sold 2.5 million switches so again you know a lot of this is going to come down to can Nintendo stop supply constraining themselves but yeah this is all really good news you know but again this is just my take let me know what you think and I'll put links to all the results down in the description so if you want to dissect even further into the details be my guest but I went through all what I feel is all the relevant information I mean if you want to know I guess I didn't talk about this the lifetime sales total for the 3ds are 67.08 million units with software at 335.10 million units you're just really insane stuff if you want to know for the Wii U Wii U hardware is obviously done 13.56 million units that it's it that number will never go higher than that but the Wii U software is at 99.97 million units again a pretty good attach right there but yeah it's Nintendo's doing pretty good man they're doing really good right now the switches is selling like hotcakes the 3ds is still moving you know almost a million units per quarter I know that's not you know as much as you would like but again you know the amount of software they're moving in compared 5.85 million for only a million units so that's insane Nintendo's doing really well right now switches doing really well I'm hoping it continues the momentum Nintendo can catch up to demand and we can see them hit that 10 million goal that they had which would put the system at about 13 million units around the end of the fiscal year but yeah I'm excited I hope you're excited good job Nintendo you have hit a home run in my opinion and as always
