The story
A thread appeared on 5ch’s “Hardware/Industry (Geha)” board pointing out how thin Switch2’s upcoming lineup looks. The thread starter posted “there’s no ammo left,” prompting a wave of replies citing cumulative sales figures for major Nintendo titles like Mario Kart World and Animal Crossing: New Horizons and countering with “they’re not even trying yet.” Meanwhile, PS5 fans fired back with single-month sales figures for titles like Call of Duty and Resident Evil Requiem, and both sides traded their own sets of numbers to argue for superiority. The thread also drifted into GTA6’s release timing and frame-rate specs, but with Nintendo and PlayStation fans talking past each other, the debate never converged.
What people said
Ha, 15 to 15 (lol)
No good, PS is out of ammo too
Even if it had some, hitting 15 would be impossible
They're even expanding their office building
Sony's stuck not knowing what to do with Bungie
That's the seizure that flares up whenever a Nintendo Direct gets close
50.29 million copies: Animal Crossing: New Horizons → new Animal Crossing not yet announced
38.14 million copies: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate → new Smash Bros. not yet announced
34.06 million copies: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild → new open-air Zelda not yet announced
30.80 million copies: Super Mario Odyssey → new 3D Mario not yet announced
28.46 million copies: Pokémon Scarlet/Violet → next Pokémon title (called "Kazenami" in the post) slated for next year
21.36 million copies: Super Mario Party → new Mario Party not yet announced
18.32 million copies: Nintendo Switch Sports → a "Resort" expansion coming this fall
17.44 million copies: Super Mario Bros. Wonder → new 2D Mario not yet announced
15.38 million copies: Ring Fit Adventure → new Ring Fit not yet announced
15.06 million copies: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl → Pokémon Black/White remake not yet announced
14.83 million copies: Pokémon Legends: Arceus → new Pokémon Legends not yet announced
14.25 million copies: Luigi's Mansion 3 → Luigi's Mansion 4 not announced
13.60 million copies: Splatoon 2 → Splatoon 4 not announced
They're still nowhere near going all-out.
That top one, Mario Kart World, is already looking shaky though
The console's only sold 24 million units so far and it's already at 15 million copies sold
The bar is: even past 90 million consoles sold, the only game that ever beat that was the freely bundled "Daman 2" (exact title referenced is unclear)
How many years off is that though?
Like, four years?
Kind of underwhelming given how long the silence was before Switch2 dropped…
Guess leaning on third parties backfired once delays and cancellations threw the plan off
* Call of Duty: Black Ops 2: 8.2 million (July 2026, single month)
* Resident Evil Requiem: 8 million (lifetime total)
* Call of Duty: Black Ops: 3 million (July 2026, single month)
* Pragmata: 2.5 million (lifetime total)
* Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: 1.6 million (July 2026, single month)
So the best-seller is a straight port of a 15-year-old game, huh
No wonder they'd want to port it to Switch
It's not selling on PS (lol)
Just this year alone there's still Zelda, Fire Emblem, and Switch Sports left to release
Lol, none of that even comes close to PS5-exclusive GTA6, total garbage by comparison
What happened to the usual "bundle copies don't count!" line?

Performance ranking: PS5 Pro > base PS5 > Steam Machine
Nearly 80% of PC users are running hardware weaker than a PS5
This is reality
Gamers are choosing the PS5 that can actually run GTA6
And once again this year, GOTY belongs entirely to our PS5
Wait, none of that matters when GTA6 is stuck at 30fps lolololololol
What was the PS5 Pro (snicker) even born for? Wasn't it supposed to be for playing GTA6 at 60fps? lol
Nah, that's not true at all
Switch is a platform where even third-party games sell
The real heavy-hitter first-party titles are still coming, so the future's bright
Not like PS, whose last fireworks show is a 30fps offline game
Background and Key Points of This Debate
“No ammo left” is a stock phrase on the Hardware/Industry board for a platform that’s run out of upcoming titles to point to, and here it sparked a back-and-forth with PS5 fans over how thin Switch2’s future lineup looks. The numbers cited mix cumulative sales figures for Nintendo’s major franchises with single-month sales figures for PS5-exclusive and ported titles, and since the source data covers different time frames and metrics (“single month” versus “lifetime total”), a straight comparison is misleading. It’s also worth noting that claims about GTA6’s delay and its resolution/frame-rate specs aren’t based on any official Nintendo or Sony announcement at this point — they’re just hearsay circulating in the thread. The split came down to whether posters believed Nintendo is “holding titles in reserve” or read the weak current sales as a sign of an upcoming slowdown, and neither side offered conclusive evidence either way.
