One year ago, the Nintendo Switch was released worldwide. On March 3rd, 2017, no one ever anticipated that the Nintendo Switch would be so successful. Ever since the console launched, the Switch has been breaking sales records everywhere, and its first-party titles have scored numerous awards and nominations. It has already surpassed the Wii U’s lifetime sales in many regions. The second year of the Nintendo Switch’s life looks to be just as promising. Pokemon, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Dark Souls and many more are on the way. Third-party and indie support have been fantastic, and this support keeps growing with every passing month. We will see if the Switch keeps its momentum in the next 12 months.
Happy birthday, Nintendo Switch!
If Pokémon drops this year good luck anyone that doesn’t have a Switch yet.

PS4 is all “Whatever. Let me know when you hit 30 or 60m then I’ll be impressed.”

Now it just looks confused. xD
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy biirrthdaayy dear switchhhh, happy birthday to you.
Bet u sang that.lol
Crazy seeing how long it’s been. It feels like March 3rd was yesterday.
Yeah, like I literally just got the system weeks ago. I remember waiting in line with a few recognizable folks in town and hoping for the Neon version but got the black. XP
Question is: How many units did it sell for it’s first year?
I think like, over 14.8 million. Enough to completely surpass Wii Us lifetime sales.
Pii didn’t even hit 14, not even close. I’m sure the Switch hit somewhere between 16-19m by now. It hit 10 million by November so December and January likely boosted those numbers by several million.
I never said the U made it past 14mil? And yes the holidays definitely boosted sales but I don’t think that much.
Then how come NPD stated the Switch sold amazingly well and beat the other two consoles? We’ll wait for the sales results this week.
Technically I got mine on August 31st. So in my opinion its not my year to say yet, but in reality it is its 1 year anniversary. Played Breath of the Wild today in honor of its first anniversary.
1 year anniversary. Broke a bunch of records before it’s first birthday and… Nothing. Nothing exciting at all to happen on it’s birthday. *shrug*
Maybe there will be more of a celebration on its 10th birthday when it’s still kicking ass!!
If it’s still kicking period. Plans change & they could suddenly decide that 8 or more years is too long of a life cycle and end it at 5 or 6 when they are able to push out a stronger system. Especially if a new PlayStation or Xbox comes along before Switch is 3 or 5 years old & the 3rd parties flock to it for the increase in power, leaving Switch with scraps. (Of course, it’s getting scraps now (mostly) but that could change within the next 6 months.) So many things can happen within a year alone so 3 to 5 to even 8 years can make an even bigger difference than 1.
That’s because Nintendo has some secret weapon to show in future
And still today I’m playing with my Switch
Let’s be honest. The Switch it’s a masterpiece
Happy anniversary Nintendo Switch.
I feel 20 year younger since i have my Switch. My rusty skills don’t agree sadly.
One full year and I’ve only played 2 games on the Switch (and only enjoyed one of those games). Yet I own 7 games. And I’ve never pulled it from the dock more than a few random times (but not to play it). Still eagerly awaiting Animal Crossing and Pikmin 4. WHERE ARE THEY?
Excellent year!
