Switch is no spring chicken anymore as it’s coming up on its sixth anniversary. Simply because of its age, one would expect sales to begin trickling off.
Nintendo president Shuntaru Furukawa did acknowledge that Switch is entering “uncharted territory in the history of our dedicated video game platforms” during the company’s latest financial briefing. However, he still believes there’s room for sales to grow given “both new demand and multiple system demand for the hardware”. Nintendo will be looking to create new demand with new games plus “working further to convey the appeal of existing titles.”

During Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing, president Shuntaru Furukawa spoke about the differing software sales for Switch in North America, Europe, Japan, and Asia. One investor brought up how sales seemed to decline in the Americas.
Furukawa acknowledged that to be the case, explaining that various factors contributed “such as the absence of sizable growth in sales of evergreen titles, particularly during the third quarter (October-December).” Japan saw a boost with Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Scarlet / Violet.

A new sales update for Monster Hunter Rise has just been disclosed by Capcom. We now know the game has sold over 12 million units worldwide across all versions of the game, which is being commemorated with the artwork featured above.
Monster Hunter Rise initially released on Switch in March 2021, receiving its Sunbreak expansion (which recently reached another sales milestone) in June 2022. The game was also released on PC in January 2022 and just recently received Playstation and Xbox ports a few weeks ago, which likely contributed to it reaching this new milestone.
