The Nintendo Switch is associated with another impressive number. The handheld has now sold over 143.42 million units.
In its financial report for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, Nintendo announced that the Nintendo Switch had sold 143.42 million units worldwide, meaning sales increased by a further 2.1 million units in the past three months alone.
While this is a strong result, it is important to note that sales fell 46.3 percent year-on-year, while game sales fell 41.3 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
However, Nintendo also notes that the previous year’s quarter was exceptionally strong. The Super Mario Bros. Movie was released in theaters and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom thrilled the community on the console. Such “special factors” were missing in the current quarter.
