Nintendo Switch is a great asset to a Japanese company and not for nothing, judging by the sales, it has managed to amass a device that, let’s not forget, generates huge profits from the day it arrives in stores, unlike consoles. competition from this and the previous generation.

According to Nintendo due to the presentation of fiscal results, as of March 31, 2022 Nintendo Switch has already sold more than 107 million units, surpassing the Wii as the best-selling desktop brand. And all this despite the fact that it has suffered a significant decline this year, partly due to supply chain problems and a shortage of components that have recently affected the entire industry.

In fact, the company already expects a 10% drop in Nintendo Switch sales due to the aforementioned failures, which is not the first time they have occurred. A few years ago, they even increased the price of the console for the same reason. In short, the Nintendo Switch boasts not only generating profits for hardware sold from day one, but also keeping the price virtually intact ever since.

Interestingly, at the end of 2021, it was announced that the Nintendo Switch had exceeded 2 million units sold in Spain.

Nintendo’s report also reveals an interesting fact, and it is most console sales are original versions: 58.7% compared to 25% for the OLED version, recorded only last year; and the rest for the Nintendo Switch Lite. But the point is that Nintendo also broke the record for software sales.

The Nintendo Switch is expected to have a catalog approaching 5,000 titles, although there are those that have not left their respective regions, and those that have done so in the physical format are barely thousands. The rest includes digital format and all kinds of other content, but does not include content available in packages such as Nintendo Switch Online.

In any case, there are far fewer games known for the Nintendo Switch than usual, although there are more than ever: there are almost forty that have sold more than a million pieces and is considering not only great successes, but also recent releases, such as Metroid Dread, Pokémon legends either Kirby and the forgotten landwith 2.9, 12.6 and 2.1 million pieces.

In short, the Nintendo Switch goes from success to success despite setbacks, and while still far from reaching 154 million units sold for the Nintendo DS or 155 million units for the PlayStation 2, it still has a long way to go until bonanza and launches accompany. So far, it is expected to beat the PlayStation 4 and sold nearly 117 million units this year.
