Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 13 Comments
European retailer GAME published its latest financial report this week. In the document, the retailer shares insight into Switch sales across the UK and Spain.
One big number is 469,000. That’s the amount of units that have been sold in the UK and Spain. According to GamesIndustry, this figure is roughly 49 percent of what the Wii managed to do over the same period, though one thing to note is how Switch debuted in March rather than the holiday season. It’s also 300 percent of what the Wii U sold. Sales have been steady and have only decreased during stock shortages.
