Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training for Nintendo Switch launched for Switch in Japan on December 27. Through December 29, it sold around 35,000 copies in Japan. Dengeki reports a sell-through of only 20 percent.
The original Brain Age on DS sold 3.65 million copies in Japan and the sequel moved another 4.94 million units. It remains to be seen whether this new Switch entry will come even remotely close to those first couple of games, though it clearly has a long way to go as of now.

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:
