Story number one. Nintendo admits sales quote below expectations as wait for Switch 2 continues. This comes from Tom Phillips at Eurogamer.

Switch 1 Software Sales also fell significantly down 24.4%.

Switch 1 Software Sales also fell significantly down 24.4%.

In a statement, Nintendo blamed the scale of the drop on tough comparisons with 2023 due to the launch of both Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Alongside the impact of a poorer US dollar exchange rate, Switch 1's performance has now forced Nintendo to lower its expectations again for the remainder of the financial year. It wasn't all doom and gloom, though. New releases included The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, selling just shy of 4 million copies.

A good number, though predictably nowhere near the sales of either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo also launched Super Mario Party Jamboree, which sold an impressive 6.17 million copies. And of course, the unstoppable Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continued to sell well. It shifted in the last nine months of 2024. 5.4 million copies, bless...

I'm gonna say it. This entire article reads a little bit more negative than I feel the news actually is.

Exactly. So what's interesting about that though is the numbers we're talking about are still freaking insane. And we're getting to the point that like... Wir reden darüber, dass es die zweitgrößte verkaufte Konsole ist, die es jemals gibt, insbesondere Handhelds. Ja.

Und dann potenziell die PS2 verkaufen, was ich denke, dass es sein wird, nach einigen Preisverlusten und ihnen weiterhin die Switch 1 zu unterstützen, nach der Eröffnung der Switch 2. Ja.

Ich denke, es wird klar geworden, dass das die Top 10 für den Konzern ist. Ja. Wir sind auf der Art und Weise solidifizierend und locken in.

Ich denke nicht. Nicht auf dieser Ebene. Ich denke nicht. Ich denke nicht, dass es die Top 10 schlagen wird. Weil Legend Arceus nicht ganz da ist. Ich denke, dass es so weit nicht so gut aussieht. Vielleicht bin ich da falsch.
