Nintendo Switch Sells 10 Million Worldwide
Nintendo’s Video Game System Passes Major Milestone in Just Nine Months

Despite launching in March, a month not usually reserved for home console launches, and with the busy holiday shopping season still in full swing, the Nintendo Switch system has already sold 10 million units to consumers around the world, according to Nintendo’s internal sales figures.

Full PR:

Nintendo Switch is a home console that can be played on a TV, and also taken instantly on the go – it lets people play their favorite games anytime, anywhere and with anyone. And since every Nintendo Switch system comes bundled with two Joy-Con controllers, players can easily share the fun of compatible multiplayer games with friends and family right out of the box.

The robust and diverse library on Nintendo Switch features two of the most acclaimed video games of all time in Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. At The Game Awards last week in Los Angeles, Super Mario Odyssey won the award for Best Family Game. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was honored with the awards for Game of the Year, Best Action/Adventure Game and Best Game Direction.

Nintendo Switch is also home to fun multiplayer games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and ARMS that can be played online or with friends and family in the same room, as well as an ever-growing list of great third-party games like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, FIFA 18, Rocket League, L.A. Noire, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Golf Story and Stardew Valley, Nintendo Switch is truly for any player.

“As you can see in people’s living rooms, on a plane or riding the subway, fans all over the world can enjoy playing Nintendo Switch wherever they go,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. “The response from fans has been great, and we’re doing our very best to satisfy demand during the holiday shopping season.”

After a record-breaking 2017, Nintendo Switch will continue its momentum in 2018. The system will see the launch of Nintendo-published games like Kirby Star Allies, Bayonetta, Bayonetta 2 and a new game in the beloved Yoshi franchise, in addition to big third-party games like Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus from Bethesda, Mega Man 11 from Capcom, PROJECT OCTOPATH TRAVELER (working title) from Square Enix, Shovel Knight: King of Cards from Yacht Club Games and Runner 3 from Choice Provisions.

Nintendo Switch hits 10 million sales worldwide since its launch on 3rd March 2017, with a range of award-winning games including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey already available, with plenty more experiences to come in 2018.

It is crazier that this is 1/3 of the Xbox One's suspected sales...No wonder why Microsoft stopped reporting those numbers.

Also, considering Pokemon coming next year and some more mature titles like Metroid Prime and Bayonetta I think that those sales are going to continue to grow. Plus, the hype has maintained itself by the release cycle Nintendo is promoting. That is despite all the naysayers that said the hype would die out in a couple months.

i love this console. etc. bit worried about next year tho.. hopefully we get some idea this month or next as to what we will be getting.


I want:
- new fire emblem
- new bayonetta
- another mario local game (tennis or party would be fine)
- if possible a new pokemon but its so doubtful

I'd really appreciate
- xenoblade chronicles 1 hd as the one on 3DS looks terrible
- zelda hd remaster of twilight princess or skyward sword or both (doubtful)


Honestly if Nintendo deliver a Fire Emblem or Pokemon game in 2018, I'll be INCREDIBLY happy but I'm not sure if I see it happening.

There will be a fair few good games since bayo 3 is gonna drop, but how many titles are there going to be released to rival botw/odyssey? rival.. obv not equal/surpass.
