Nintendo has confirmed this morning that the Nintendo Switch family of systems has shifted 150.86 million units worldwide since the system launched in March 2017. The system’s successor the Nintendo Switch 2 launches later this year.
Nintendo Switch has now sold 150.86 million units worldwide since 2017
That’s over 52 billion dollars in Switch hardware sales btw. Not all profit obviously but still – a staggering amount of money.
This is what we call turnover and contrary to popular belief, it is not representative of the health of a company,it represents gross overall sales and in this case -here it is shared between several actors and without me being mistaken,I would say that Nintendo represents 20 to 30% of the volume, which is huge but to determine how much has won Nintendo it’s more delicate and especially it is spread over 8 years
This can be said about jus anyone, but who exactly do you think they’re sharing profit with?
All the companies who made the hardware.
I always figured that Nintendo bought components out right. I remember few years back there was an article that talked about Nintendo reusing old LCD screens on new hardware because they had overstock. I do understand that even them buying components out right means that they aren’t making 100 profit, but percentage shouldn’t apply since all components decrease in price year after year, making it impossible for us outsiders to gauge just how much of that was profit.
Sickr, I’m a big fan of the site mate.
However, this has got to be the laziest editorial I’ve ever seen from you guys.
It’s was about 8.30am 😂
I’m starting to think this console was a success…
Despite what many people tell on YouTube and other sites.
Sony will soon “find” another one or two million Playstation 2s sold. 🤷♂️
I’m waiting for them to go up to Geoff Keighley , and hit him with the, “What’s this behind your ear” and then they pull out another 10 million more PS2 sold out of it.
PS2 sold from 2000-2013. The switch has been sold since 2017. That’s 8 years compared to Sony. Sony only sold 130 million consoles by 2008. Switch has already surpassed that by 20 million. By the time the switch comes off the shelves (which will probably be around 2027) they will have amassed enough to overtake the PS2. They should continue making Switch’s until 2030 in my opinion.
