Nintendo Switch

Switch secured another milestone today stemming from Nintendo’s latest financial results. At a total of 84.59 million units, it has now outsold the Game Boy Advance. The GBA’s total sits at 81.51 million units.

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Switch sales had surpassed those of the 3DS. The console has also outsold the Wii U, GameCube, N64, SNES, and NES.

There’s a chance that Switch could end up as Nintendo’s best-selling platform of all time. Wii (101.63 million), Game Boy (118.69) million, and DS (154.02 million) are currently ahead. However, Switch sales have not slowed down at all since launching in March 2017.

Based on the latest sales from the UK, Switch was the best-selling console during the month of April. Although sales are actually down year-over-year, it’s still performing very well.

GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring says that sales trends puts Switch “on par with Xbox 360, which over time went on to do 9 million units in the UK.” Only the DS and PS2 sold more.

Also worth mentioning is that New Pokemon Snap was the best-selling game in the UK in April. That feat was accomplished in just two days. On Sunday, we heard that physical launch sales were four times higher than the original.

Epic and Apple have been going head to head in court with a new case that officially started today. After Fortnite previously bypassed Apple’s payment system so that the company wouldn’t receive commission, the game was removed from the App Store. Epic was none too pleased with the move, and has regularly expressed dissatisfaction with Apple taking 30 percent of revenue earned on the digital marketplace.

The start of the lawsuit has brought about a document that reveal all sorts of information about Fortnite – including plans that were either scrapped or could be happening in the future. This includes a whole bunch of skins that have never been mentioned before.

May is looking to be another full month for Switch, with a lot of awesome releases coming soon. To help sort through them all, we’ve put together a video of the most anticipated Switch games coming in the month.
