Nintendo Switch’s Sales to Customers Are Over 13 Million Units

3.9
Today, during Nintendo’s corporate strategy meeting, CEO Tatsumi Kimishima gave a few updates about the performance of the Switch and the manufacturer’s plans for the console and the rest of its lineup.

The information was provided on Twitter by the Wall Street Journal’s tech reporter Takashi Mochizuki.

We hear that sales-through to customers are at roughly 13 million, but this figure excludes Latin America and parts of Asia. The console’s momentum is faster than the Wii in North America, similar to the older machine in Europe, and slightly lower in Japan.

Nintendo plans to finally start its subscription-based online services in September 2018, and details will be announced later this year. We do hear that they’re preparing “attractive” content for the service, but no more info were provided.

Moving on to Labo, applications for the hands-on sessions in the United States became about fifty times bigger than the available slots in just a few days. Shinya Takahashi is also involved in Labo‘s development.

While the Switch is successful, Kimishima-san has pledged to continue supporting the 3DS leveraging the portable console’s large installed base and rich software lineup.

We also get a sales update (sell-through to customers) for the SNES Classic Edition, which is at four million units that found a loving home.

Last, but not least, we move on to mobile apps, Mario Kart Tour is will be released in the upcoming fiscal year, between April 2018 and March 2019.

Mike ilove the switch! so glad i purchased


Brah is it really worth the money would you say, because im still debating either or not to pick one up, but i think its too expensive still.


For what it is, i agree the price is too steep still.


It is. That is one of the reasons I never went out and bought it.


It's always been a thing that Nintendo do though, they have always supported their products far beyond the time span of any other manufacture. It's one of the reasons they have so many dedicated fans i suppose.


I feel like all platforms habe dedicated fans, all on the same level. But Xbox has been about money so they try saving as much as they can I.e less shipments at first.

The console has been out for awhile now so I see where you're coming from with the price. Hopefully we can see a decrease in price but probably not anytime soon since the charts for purchases are still skyrocketing.

I cannot wait to get a Nintendo switch. It seems like they are doing so much with the console. After I get my PC, I am definitely aiming towards this console next.
