At this point, we don’t need to go over what a huge success Switch has been. It has blown everyone’s expectations out of the water, including Nintendo’s.
We’ve seen how well Switch can do when enough stock is available, and a new stat from analyst Mat Piscatella from NPD further puts this into perspective. According to Piscatella, physical software sales for the console in the United States “are on pace to be the biggest ever for a Nintendo platform launch year since ’95, by a fairly large margin.”
Worth noting, sales started to be tracked in 1995. So Switch is performing just about as well as Nintendo could have hoped – both with the hardware and physical software sales as well.
