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.
Here’s some additional information shared by Lavoué:

Nintendo represented 80% of the console market in Japan in 2019, company’s strongest console sales since 1999
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
2019 was one of Nintendo’s better years for sales in Japan – especially when it comes to Switch specifically. The company secured 80 percent of the console market last year, with Switch accounting for 76 percent of that amount. Nintendo’s main platform also saw its sales increase 29 percent year-over-year.
Nintendo’s strong 2019 is really put into perspective when considering the past couple of decades. As it turns out, last year was the Big N’s best year when looking back on its console sales going back to 1999.

Untitled Goose Game has surpassed one million copies sold, publisher Panic has revealed. That news comes straight from co-founder Cabel Sasser.
