Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
When Switch launched last year, the system managed to reach the 300,000 units sold milestone in the UK during Super Mario Odyssey’s release week. Fast forward a year later and you could argue that the console is having even more success.
Over the previous three weeks, Switch sold 200,000 units in the UK. For those who are interested in comparisons, the platform sold roughly 130,000 units during the same period in 2017.
Switch sales in the UK currently sit at around 1.4 million.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Director Junichi Masuda was interviewed for the game’s Japanese strategy guide, which was then published in the English version. In it, Masuda mentioned that the team started development before Switch launched “so we really couldn’t predict at all whether the console was going to sell well or not.” The team was “quite relieved to see it hit record sales figures” following release.
