As was posted on our official website yesterday, these are the four Nintendo Switch software titles with the highest total sell-in. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which was only just released in last December, has already joined this lineup after less than a month since its release by selling over 10 million units, an amount that other popular titles have taken years to grow into. Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, released during the holiday season last year, are ranked fifth in total sell-in, while Super Mario Party, released during the same period, is in seventh position. Each of the new titles released in succession during the holiday season sold at an unprecedented pace. Looking back on this holiday season, I feel that we have managed to further enhance the Nintendo Switch software lineup consumers all over the world were looking forward to playing and would recommend them to the people close to them.

Note: Sell-in refers to units sold to retailers from the Nintendo group of companies

This graph shows the trend in cumulative sell-through following the launch of Nintendo Switch in our major markets. Because Nintendo Switch was launched in March, its sales can’t be directly compared to those of Wii or Wii U, which were launched in the holiday season. Even so, Nintendo Switch sell-through rose greatly during this past holiday season, and it continues to sell at a pace close to that of Wii up to this point.

And cumulative global sell-through, including sales outside of the major markets you saw on the previous slides, has surpassed 30 million units as of the end of January, and the Nintendo Switch business is on a trajectory for further growth. Also, all of the new titles released in succession during the holiday season also showed exceptional sales.

First, I would like to give you my perception on the current state of the Nintendo Switch business. Hardware sales so far this fiscal year have not been at a pace needed to reach the full-year target that we set at the beginning of the fiscal year. But Nintendo Switch sales continue to grow at a rapid pace globally, and especially software sales are extremely robust. I believe this past holiday season laid a solid foundation for further expansion of the Nintendo Switch business.

Nintendo released these new titles between October and December of last year. The release of major titles for Nintendo Switch was concentrated in the third quarter of this fiscal year. As we stressed in last October’s financial results briefing, it was important to enhance the appeal of Nintendo Switch with these titles and to promote hardware expansion in the holiday season.

Update: After having three separate translators look at Nikkei’s article, we believe what we have shared in this post is accurate. To clarify, the publication claims that Nintendo will be strengthening its monthly paid service, Nintendo Switch Online, which launched last September. It does not elaborate by saying whether this is an update/upgrade to Nintendo Switch Online, something separate, etc. Whether Nikkei is wrong or misreporting this or not remains to be seen.

Original: In a new report today, Japanese publication Nikkei claims to have information regarding Nintendo’s future plans for Switch. According to the outlet, a smaller version of the Switch is in the works and may release as early as this year.

Nikkei also claims that Nintendo is readying some sort of new service for this year aimed at game enthusiasts. However, further details were not provided.
