Nintendo Switch

GamesIndustry has a new report on Switch sales in the UK. According to the site, 700,000 units have been sold since last year’s launch. GamesIndustry further adds that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have sold more than one million copies between them. As far as Wii U goes, Switch has already outsold the system.

While Switch is doing fairly well in the UK, it hasn’t taken off as much as it has in other countries. Unlike other regions, the console hasn’t broken again records there. Piers Harding-Rolls, director of research and analysis at IHS Markit, provides the following as to why that is:

Puyo Puyo Tetris is closing in on one million copies sold worldwide on Switch, SEGA has announced. Series producer Mizuki Hosoyamada shared the news during a Puyo Puyo Anniversary TV Show 2018 broadcast earlier today.

Unfortunately, the broadcast itself wasn’t too exciting. SEGA showed off its mobile game Puyo Puyo Quest, but there really wasn’t much new for fans of the series.

During the Q&A portion of Capcom’s latest financial results briefing, the company was asked about sales of Resident Evil Revelations’ port on various platforms. We now have concrete data for the first game’s performance on Switch.

Capcom indicated that Resident Evil Revelations for Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One has sold 500,000 copies. Of that number, roughly 250,000 units were on Switch specifically.

Capcom did not say how Resident Evil Revelations 2 has sold, unfortunately.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Nintendo confirmed earlier today that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has shipped 6.7 million copies on Switch worldwide. Adding in sales of the Wii U version of about 1.08 million, the overall total should be roughly 7.78 million units worldwide.

The big takeaway from that number is Breath of the Wild is now the second highest-selling Zelda game. Only Twilight Princess has it beat globally with 8.85 million copies sold. Breath of the Wild could very well overtake it in time.

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Media Create are as follows:

PS4 – 110,023
Switch – 47,107
PS4 Pro – 30,122
New 2DS LL – 6,842
Vita – 3,744
New 3DS LL – 3,377
Xbox One X – 1,618
2DS – 1,094
Xbox One – 68

For comparison’s sake, here are the hardware numbers from last week:

Switch – 43,027
PS4 – 37,572
PS4 Pro – 14,935
New 2DS LL – 7,302
