Based on the first six month of sales in 2020, Switch sales have more than doubled in the UK. Sales in the region are seeing the increase when compared to the first six months of last year.
Switch sales started to rise around the coronavirus pandemic in early March, before peaking in May. More stock also started to be made available in the UK in May, which also boosted sales.
VGC adds that gaming sales were still strong in June, especially when compared to the same month in 2019.

April was another strong month for Nintendo as far as Switch hardware sales in the United States are concerned. The system was again the best-selling platform in terms of both unit and dollar sales. We also heard that year-to-date dollar sales of Switch are the highest of any hardware platform ever.
It’s rare that we receive concrete sales data from the NPD, but we do actually have a few numbers this time around. According to Wedbush Securities media analyst Michael Pachter, Switch sold 808,000 units, which is more than his 400,000 estimate.
