 Hey everyone, how's it going? We have a video here for you tonight that has some exclusive Information available to you about the launch sales worldwide of switch OLED and yes Even Metroid Dread although I will know right now the Metroid Dread ones are not necessarily 100% accurate whereas the switch OLED figures are essentially yeah, that's exactly what was sold during launch So yeah, Nintendo hasn't announced anything so this news isn't coming from Nintendo in an official manner although Here's what I'll say my source on all this information is Paul Gale Network. He is a friend of the channel He's been on our podcast And he's actually a massive industry veteran with his own connections including one Directly with the company in question, so it is what it is We're gonna go over some of the sales data And I will link to where you can follow Paul Gale down below is got a YouTube channel as well as a Twitter account You guys can follow before we get into that I want to remind you we are giving away a few copies of Metroid Dread just click on that link down in the Description or the pinned comment with a viral sweep link also We have a much of a grander giveaway happening over the holiday period that I'm waiting to review the details on later And we will It's just gonna be a big event and I know there's gonna be that one commenter Nate giveaway giveaway giveaway giveaway giveaway, you know, you can just skip the intro right we have chapters All right, folks, so let's just get straight into this information I'm gonna be reading Some some private DMs that were happening between me and Paul Gale Network Because he informed me that he had some data and I wanted to make sure that not not that he was trustworthy But I had a hunch on where the data came from and I wanted to in sure So I'm not gonna talk about his source directly here So the Nintendo switch OLED sold exactly how many were shipped So we've talked about this before that it felt like switch OLED sold out worldwide and According to Paul Gale Network, it did sell out Entirely so here's the details on how many units Nintendo shipped out So for switch OLED Nintendo switched out over 600,000 units and that's not just shipped. That's also sold so we know 600k maybe 650k or so Were sold for switch OLED during launch So that is obviously really really interesting data and we'll get into why some people might be disappointed when you hear that number More beyond that Metroid dread. So you have some launch figures from Metroid Dread, although not Exact figures because his source said hey Metroid Dread sold over 500,000 units, but sold Significantly over so we don't know what that means. It could be 900,000. So almost a million It'll be 700 800. So all we know is it's north of 500 probably coming close to a million if I had to guess And that's worldwide sales for launch has nothing to do with what's happened since launch. So What does this mean? Well, we know the switch light sales came out And switch light in the first 10 days on the market sold 2 million units So when you hear 600,000 switch OLED sold that doesn't sound like very much Also, when you consider that we were hoping that switch OLED was going to be like a switch pro I think we can kind of see why Nintendo went the direction they did We all know there's been manufacturing issues for really quite some time over a year two years almost now You know with all of these tech companies trying to get enough supply of their products out to customers And the thing is 600,000 units is not actually a lot to have ready to go at launch of a new product But since this is a non essential upgrade product, you could still buy the switch light You can still buy the original switch all the games play the same same frame rate all that jazz It's a non essential device Nintendo probably felt like they didn't need as many devices ready to go at launch I assumed they would have liked to have a couple million ready to go But they didn't and they still put it out there because they probably didn't feel it was essential that it had that So I don't know. This is just my food for thought on this whole process here Switch all that sold out. So I don't know what the upper level limits of sales would be for switch OLED Because there was obviously limited supply now getting to Metroid Obviously Metroid launching at almost a million units or close to it would be rather big news for Metroid that traditionally only sells 1.5 to 2 a little bit over 2 million units So we'll have to see what happens Obviously, we're all hoping it hits at least three millions of rgt-85 has to do a full playthrough of all in Wonderland But even beyond all that we really just want to see Metroid do well that way we get more games in the future So I don't know. This is just some data.
