Two years on the market, 37 million consoles sold and 5 games with sales over 10 million - Nintendo Switch in numbers

Nintendo published the financial results for the new quarter of 2019. It shows that the Nintendo Switch has already found 37 million buyers. Every third of them bought the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey races.

Finding a box with Fire Emblem: Three Heroes in the center of Warsaw was bordering on a miracle yesterday. Few premieres were sold out. Nintendo Switch enjoys a lot of success in our country, of course, as well as market realities and quite weak promotion and advertising. Demand for Switch is even more noticeable in Western countries, where Nintendo has solid sales results. The hybrid console beats sales records in France, Belgium and the United Kingdom. Handheld is also very popular in the USA.

Globally, 37 million copies of the Nintendo Switch console have already been sold.

From the perspective of 45 million Xboks One or 100 million. PlayStation 4 console number achieved by Big N does not make a big impression. However, we must remember that Nintendo has developed these 37 million. Switch presence on the market for equal two years. Both Xbox and PlayStation have been on the market for over 5 years. The difference is therefore diametrical. If the demand for the console remained at a similar level, and the Switch would start at the same time as the other eighth generation platforms, we would have to deal with a fierce duel between Sony and Nintendo.

At the turn of 2019 and 2020, Switch will most likely chase Xbox One, turning into the second largest platform on the market. For this we can be sure that the hybrid console will be supported long after the appearance of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett. Of course, with each subsequent year, the platform will seem more and more archaic. However, taking into account the sales results of the Nintendo 3DS console, graphics or computing power are not the most important among Nintendo fans. For them, the games are mainly important, and those issued for the Switch are - there will be no exaggeration in this term - CAPITAL.

Already five games on the Nintendo Switch console beat the barrier of 10 million copies sold.

The most popular production for the hybrid platform are the great Mario Kart 8 Deluxe races (18 million). This is a very good start position that connects generations and is also ideal for younger players . The second most-purchased Switch game is the Super Mario Odyssey platformer (15 million). In my review I wrote that this is the best Mario in 3D since the times of the Nintendo 64 console , also a very good result of the game does not surprise me at all.

The third item on the list is the Super Smash Bros. brawl. Ultimate (15 million). A great result, considering that the production premiered only in December. The fourth item is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (14 million). The open world game was a must-have for the premiere of the Switch. TOP 5 closes Pokemon Let's Go (11 million) - a simplified version of the game with creatures, which is also a remake of the first series of black and white GameBoy.

The latest Nintendo games are also selling extremely well. In just three days from the premiere, Super Mario Maker 2 has found 2.4 million buyers. This is the rate of disappearance from the shelves of the best exclusive games for the PlayStation 4 console. Just a few days ago, the Fire Emblem strategy debuted: Three Houses - one of the best Switch productions that you can actually make.

Despite good results, Nintendo's profit is 10 percent. smaller than last year.

Although Nintendo's revenue is 2.4 percent higher. compared to the same period of 12 months ago ($ 1.58 billion instead of $ 1.54 billion), the company's net profit fell from $ 281 million to $ 253 million. This may result from the smaller and smaller purchases on the ever less frequently launched 3DS platform. The R & D costs for the gossip Switch Pro can also leave a mark on the company. Big N, however, has no cause for concern. At any moment on the market there will be a cheaper version of the Switch - Nintendo Switch Lite - which will surely drive the sale of hardware and software.

It can not be forgotten that before Nintendo, the next premieres of great promising games. The sale of the handheld will be in the later part of 2019 driven by: Pokemon Sword, Pokemon Shield, Astral Chain, Deamon X Machina, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Luigi's Mansion 3 and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Please not laughing at the last position. The game will definitely be a sales hit in Japan.
