Obviously as the Nintendo Switch has previously recorded to overtake legacy handhelds GameBoy Advanced and PlayStation Portable during Nintendo’s previous financial report earlier this year at 84.59 million units sold, it is anticipated that Nintendo does not plan to withhold more pursuits to keep that momentum going. So when it came time, the firm unveiled its next iteration of the Nintendo Switch.
For those that remember just briefly this past few weeks, Nintendo revealed the Nintendo Switch OLED Model: a new iteration on the classic handheld/console hybrid which introduced a new version of the TV dock while the device itself is equipped with an 7-inch OLED display. But while fans were anticipating to grasp what could come after with speculation for a ‘Pro’ model soon after, Nintendo poured water over that flame almost instantly.
Now during the recent financial report that went up on Thursday, Nintendo now records the Nintendo Switch selling 89.04 million units. The new metric now puts the 2017 device over the Xbox 360 alongside the PlayStation 3. Nintendo also supplied updates on its top 10 most sold releases which you can read in the list below:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 37.08 million
Animal Crossing: New Horizons – 33.89 million
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – 24.77 million
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 23.20 million
Pokemon Sword/Pokemon Shield – 21.85 million
Super Mario Odyssey – 21.40 million
Super Mario Party – 15.72 million
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!/Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! – 13.57 million
Splatoon 2 – 12.45 million
Ring Fit Adventure – 11.26 million
From VGChartz, the next to fall victim from Nintendo Switch is quite a while away. Just close to more than 10 million units needed to sell is the record held by the Nintendo Wii at 101.64. Atop of that, the original PlayStation is after that with 102.50. But, the Nintendo Switch might not reach that milestone by the next financial report alike this in a timely manner. But the holiday season forthcoming could influence more drive in the market.
Previously, the Nintendo Switch was recorded as the second best-selling system from Nintendo by NPD Group. While it outsold the previously #1 spot for the firm’s handheld, it was ranked second in dollar sales in contrast to the Nintendo Wii. You can read the full report by heading here.
