Switch sets new record as best-selling console in the U.S. for 22 consecutive months
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
We heard earlier today that Switch was again the best-selling console in the United States. That piece of information was more important than initially thought, as the system has set a new record.
Following what took place in September, Switch has been the best-selling console in the U.S. since December 2018. That marks 22 consecutive months that this has happened, and a new record has been set. The Xbox 360 previous held the record with 21 consecutive months, which took place between August 2011 and April 2013.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars has sixth-biggest launch month physical dollar sales of any Nintendo-published title in U.S. history
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Super Mario 3D All-Stars narrowly missed out on the top spot as the best-selling release of September in the United States. We now have more news from this month’s NPD report that gives an even greater idea of its impressive debut.
The launch month physical dollar sales for Super Mario 3D All-Stars rank as the sixth biggest for a Nintendo-published title in U.S. history. Additionally, it generated the second-highest launch month physical dollar sales of any 2020 release – only Animal Crossing: New Horizons was bigger. We’ll also mention that Super Mario 3D All-Stars is already the tenth best-selling game of 2020 year-to-date.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars launched in mid-September, so NPD’s report doesn’t account for a full month – making the game’s strong start even more meaningful.

The Pokemon Company International brought in $4.2 billion in retail sales in 2019
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Pokemon Company generated $2.98 billion in 2018. That number went up to $4.2 billion in 2019, according to License Global.
2019 was one of the biggest years yet for Pokemon. The franchise saw Detective Pikachu in movie theaters and the launch of Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield on Switch. We’d also be remiss if we failed to mention Pokemon GO, which continues to be a monster success. The IP is represented in many areas with the trading card game, toys, apparel and accessories, designer collaborations, tech gear, home decor, and more.
Thanks to Timurs for the tip.
