It’s been a little over nine months since the Nintendo Switch was launched but the console has already surpassed 10 million units sold. This was according to the internal sales figures by Nintendo itself, which proves just how successful this console/mobile hybrid has become. A lot of its success is being attributed to the console’s appealing library of games, one of which won the Game of the Year award.
During the recent The Game Awards, Switch exclusive The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilds took home multiple victories, which culminated in the highly coveted Game of the Year trophy. This is despite the fact that the Nintendo console is home to some other spectacular titles, including the recently released and critically praised Super Mario Odyssey.
At this point, it’s safe to say that the Japanese firm has played its cards right. Nintendo of America boss, Reggie Fils-Aimé was also quick to point out that the phenomenal performance of the Switch continues all through the holiday season.
"In short, our unique and differentiated proposition with Nintendo Switch is working,” he said. "We're seeing ongoing momentum and strong demand for the system, since our March launch, through the Black Friday weekend, and now well into the holiday period."
To better appreciate how well the hybrid gaming unit is selling, Forbes notes that the sales performance of the Switch is comparable to that of the highest-selling video console of this generation; the PlayStation 4. Sony’s console also sold 10 million units in the first nine months of its existence, give or take a few days in differences, but the similarities are there.
What’s more, the PS4 actually had a holiday window launch to give it a boost while the Switch hit the market on an atypical date. This has led many to conclude that the Switch could very well outsell the PS4 in the long run. Not a small feat, considering the Sony console has sold over 70 million units thus far and is still continuing to perform well.
