Spending on Nintendo products roughly doubles in 2017, Nintendo expected to overtake Microsoft in console market share this year
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
According to IHS Markit’s analysis, roughly $8 billion was spent on Nintendo products in 2017. That’s about double what the Big N generated the year prior. The arrival of Switch, the SNES Classic Edition, and continued 3DS sales contributed to the increase.
IHS Markit indicates that Nintendo will have a larger share of the console market than Microsoft this year. In 2017, over $10 billion was spent globally on Xbox hardware, software, and services.
