Switch pre-orders off to a strong start in Japan, reportedly over 80% of initial shipment
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 120 Comments
Initial Media Create data for the week of January 16 came in earlier this week. However, the sales tracker now provides some extra information about the Japanese market, including an important note about Switch.
Media Create says that Switch pre-orders have already surpassed 80 percent of the system’s initial shipment. While we sadly don’t have a specific number for Switch’s initial shipment in Japan, the fact that it’s already sold through such a high percentage is encouraging. This was also done just after pre-orders opened last weekend.
