The last financial results of Nintendo They show again the good time they spend so much Nintendo Switch like its franchises. Still far from the stunning numbers of Wii, DS or Game Boy, Switch has already placed 55.77 million Of units.
With this, it is close to exceeding the almost 62 million that NES placed in its day, but it has already been ahead of SNES (49.10 million) and total more units than the combination of GameCube and Nintendo 64 (21.74 and 32.93 million, respectively).
Your next goal would be to reach 75.77 for Nintendo 3DS which has added barely 60,000 copies during the last quarter of the year, but the great objective will always be to exceed 154 million Nintendo DS.

Animal Crossing is the best-selling launch
At the software level, Switch It has far exceeded the 140 million games that had been targeted for this fiscal year. Adding up the 45.59 million titles of the last quarter they have closed the year with almost 169 million units.
Animal Crossing New Horizons here has been the great protagonist. Nintendo's flagship game for the first half of the year has even surpassed total sales for Animal Crossing New Leaf, 12.55 million units today.
In fact, he managed to exceed those numbers in just six weeks and it already takes 13.41 million units. Six years versus six weeks give a good account of how well what until a few months ago was considered a niche game has worked.

Luigi's Mansion 3 has stayed in 6.33 million, Link's Awakening in 4.38 million, Rig Fit Adventure in 2.73 million and Astral Chain in 1.08 million, the same as Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.
