  • Consoles: Nintendo will launch two new Switch models this year

Nintendo sold 4.8 million Nintendo Switch in the last quarter , a figure that covers the hybrid video game console up to 41.67 million units sold since its launch in March 2017.

Although it is a figure that is far from the more than 100 million PlayStation 4 sold since 2013, it is an impressive fact while those 4.8 million represent an increase in 50% of units sold compared to the same period last year and that 1.8 million of those consoles correspond to the Nintendo Switch Lite.

The data is even more surprising if you look at the dates: last quarter I counted the video consoles sold between July, August and September, and since the Switch Lite went on sale on the 20th of that month, that number was achieved in the course of only 10 days .

The total number of units sold by Switch has already surpassed past Nintendo consoles, such as Game Cube or Nintendo 64, and is on its way to surpassing Super Nintendo , the 16-bit console that sold 49.1 million units. Switch would exceed that number if the predictions of the Japanese company, which intends to sell 11 million consoles before the end of the fiscal year (March 2020), are met.

Among the launchers that should promote such sales are names such as Luigi's Mansion 3 (available today), Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield (launched on November 15) and Animal Crossing: New Horizons (launched on March 20).
