nintendo switch 36 million seller games

The Nintendo Switch just runs around the fucking ring, discus-lariating any motherfucker that gets in its way. It’s unstoppable, fucking unstoppable. This son of a bitch as 36 million-seller titles, and I imagine that ain’t the final count.

Venture Beat:

Nintendo reported an operating profit today of 640 billion yen, which converts to about $5.86 billion. That is a massive haul, and the highest profits the company has ever reported.

This comes as the company has shipped 28.83 million Switch consoles to retailers and an astonishing 230.88 million in software units. Nintendo also revealed that the Switch now has 36 games that have surpassed 1 million copies sold. That includes 22 Nintendo games and 14 third-party releases. Among those Nintendo games, 11 have surpassed 10 million copies sold.

  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe — 35.39 million
  • Animal Crossing: New Horizons — 32.63 million

Thanks to the success of these games and the 26 other million-plus sellers, Switch is now at a total of 84.59 million systems sold and 587.12 million software units sold. These are massive numbers that put the console onto a similar trajectory to Sony’s PlayStation 4.
