Well they upped their forecast to 14 million this fiscal, and then there were the coupl e of million they sold before the fiscal (but still classed as this year) so...maybe...?

@YummyHappyPills Oh, does the command just say L & R? My bad! (..I think it works with the trigger buttons as well though)
@StuTwo Haha! Yeah, that stage was awesome too! ..they all were! ..and the fact that you had to find all of those hidden keys just to unlock the stages in the first place! (I remember some of them being crazy hard to find - like the one in a distant water cave! ..had fun hunting them all down though!)
@YummyHappyPills
I think it does say L and R. But ZL/ZR work too and they're what I always use. Bigger and easier to press

MK8D is back up at no.4 (I think) on the UK eshop, thanks to Christmas, ahead of Nintendo's 'christmas' release, Odyssey.
I really like the character design in Shu ('coming soon') but the characters look like they move a bit funny possibly. I really hope it's good, but I suspect otherwise.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

@Ralizah Nintendo themselves said 10 million sold through as of December 10th. Yeah I find it hard to believe they sold another 5 million since then. I can see them selling another 2 million for 12 million total, but 5 million? Nah.
Probably meant by the end of the fiscal year, which ends in March. They are right on track to sell 15, million by the end of the fiscal year.

@JaxonH The article clearly said for all of 2017. Now maybe they were just rounding up from say 14.6 million or something. I hope it's true but even I have a hard time believing 15 million after Nintendo just said 10 million a few weeks back.

@Spoony_Tech
I didn't read it, but it just makes no sense to claim a number that high, which is why I think they meant fiscal year, even if that's not how it was said.
Only other option is shipped. Probably 11 million sold by end of 2017, with another 3.xx mil shipped out on top of it, rounding up to 15... Idk.
Fiscal year makes more sense to me

Sales aren't linear. If they're going to hit 15mill this fiscal year they will be very, very close to that by Jan 1. Purely because the vast majority of sales are in Dec/Nov. For example the Wii in 2008 only about 8% of the calendar year sales were in jan-mar while 42% were in oct-dec. December sales alone were ~20% of the years sales, which is typical.
I could possibly see 15 million shipped as others pointed out. No way 15 million is possible unless stores really loaded up last minute which doesn't make sense so late in the year.
Although in my area there are tons of Switches everywhere.
@skywake Yeah but doing the math shows 700k-800k sales in Japan from the start of December to now. Add in Nintendo said 10m worldwide in the first week of December, I want to know where those other 4.2 mil came from.

@YummyHappyPills
Japan is only about 1/4 of global Switch sales so there's 2.2mill explained right there without even trying. In addition there's a fair chance that whoever posted the above may have rounded. So that's another ~500k potentially explained. You're also forgetting that we only currently know Japan's sales upto Dec 24th, post-Christmas sales are a thing. That's probably another good ~500k or so globally.
All of a sudden there's only 1mill unaccounted for sales. Which is probably just whoever wrote the article confusing calendar and fiscal years....
@skywake Perhaps. It's certainly not impossible but 5 million in a month is...well let's be honest that would make the PS4 jealous.
If that is the case, then I'm both shocked and horrified. To see such sales in a single 4 weeks would be unprecedented especially at full price in the first year of a system.

@YummyHappyPills
Decent sales? definitely. But not unprecedented. Both the Wii and DS hit those sort of numbers globally for December year after year during the peak of the Wii/DS era. The PS4 has been sitting at ~4mill every December since its launch. I don't think it's surprising at all for the new top performing console on the market to be moving those sort of numbers in December.
