According to research done by SuperData, Nintendo has so far managed to sell 1.5 million Switch systems worldwide. 500,000 systems were sold in the US, 360,000 were sold in Japan and Europe “isn’t far behind”, though it should be noted that most of these numbers are from first week sales, so they’re likely higher by now. Nintendo’s goal is to sell 2 million units in March, a goal they will likely easily achieve.

Unsurprisingly, the best-selling Switch title so far is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. According to SuperData, 89% of Switch owners also bought the new Zelda game, which would equate to 1.34 million copies sold.

Much has been made of Rime’s price on Switch. Unfortunately, you’ll have to pay $10 / £10 extra for the game on Nintendo’s console in comparison to other versions of the game.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a must-have game on Switch. If there’s one thing to criticize though, it’d be the game’s technical performance. Specifically, Breath of the Wild sometimes experiences frame rate drops. Some players have even experienced the screen freezing for a second or two.

Zelda isn’t actually the only game with frame rate issues. FAST RMX and I Am Setsuna both have problems with resolution drops and frame rate fluctuations respectively. However, an anonymous third-party developer has told Nintendo Life that the situation is resulting from a known issue with Switch’s Wi-Fi connection which places additional load on the processor.

One of the site’s readers, JunkRabbit, also provides the following explanation:
