Switch has sold a total of 3.3 million Switch units in France. That’s according to Nintendo France’s general manager Philippe Lavoué, who revealed the news in an interview with Le Figaro.
In 2019, 1.25 million Switch consoles were sold in France, up from 1.1 million in 2018. Switch Lite was the third best-selling console of 2019, ahead of the Xbox One. The dedicated handheld is said to have its primary audience with young adults. However, some original Switch users purchased the Lite as an additional device. Most of Switch’s sales during Christmas were for the standard model rather than the Lite.
