Nintendo highlights how its series have grown on Switch

Given how Switch is one of Nintendo’s best-selling platforms of all time, it’s been no surprise to see that many game series have taken off on the system. This has now been highlighted in an official graphic.

Nintendo has given us a look at how Pikmin, Kirby, Metroid, and Xenoblade Chronicles have performed on Switch. When put up against Wii U and 3DS, the comparison isn’t really close. It’s true that Switch hardware sold significantly more than those two older platforms (especially Wii U), but it’s noteworthy nonetheless.

The graphic above comes from Nintendo’s Corporate Management Policy Briefing. Looking at Xenoblade as an example, while the franchise only sold 1.41 million copies between Wii U and 3DS, it moved over seven million units on Switch. Nintendo just announced a few days ago that it’s bringing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition to Switch next year.

What do you make of the results above? Let us know in the comments.
