Switch ships one million consoles in China, Nintendo now the country’s market leader

According to information provided by Tencent, Nintendo has shipped one million consoles in China. That’s based on all systems that have been distributed in the country since launch back in December 2019.

Niko Partners reports that, based on Tencent’s figures, Nintendo has surpassed Sony and Microsoft as China’s biggest console device seller. Additionally, Switch selling one million units is bigger than the combined sales of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One over the same period.

Reuters notes that Switch’s “early sales were hampered by a limited number of available games and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in China,” but later increased thanks to Ring Fit Adventure’s popularity.
