It seems like a joke, but next March it will be seven years since the launch of the Nintendo Switch, a console that took the entire world by surprise due to its peculiar way of working. We are clearly talking about the aspect of going from portable to of TV. This leads us to the fact that it has currently managed to position itself as the company's best-selling console, at least in its homeland (Japan), and we have learned of this from the financial reports revealed today.
In the financial report, which covers until December 31, 2023, they mention that at this time there is little more than 139.36 million of consoles distributed in the world, a figure that probably increased in the first month of 2024 due to the small holidays that follow Christmas. Regarding video games, there is talk of 1,200.10 milliontaking into account physical distribution but above all, digital, a place in which sales gradually increase until they eventually surpass the traditional one.
Here the complete details of the information:
– Net sales this period – 1,394.7 billion yen
– Operating profit this period – 464.4 billion yen
– Ordinary profit this period – 567.3 billion yen
– Total hardware: 139.36 million
– Total software – 1,200.10 million
– Total Switch sales this period – 13.74 million
– Standard Switch sales this period – 3.40 million
– Switch OLED sales in this period: 8.17 million
– Switch Lite sales this period – 2.18 million
With this information in mind, it is very possible that the company is already preparing to close the fiscal year of 2023which will end on March 31, 2024, to begin a new stage that until this moment is unknown. That's because we don't know what big games are on the horizon, as the latest one is Princess Peach Showtime!and then there are only remasters, the proof of this is Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD.

Editor's note: The total sales for 2023 of the Nintendo Switch console are announced. Reaching incredible numbers that the company itself had not had in many years, it still does not surpass the Nintendo DS. However, having the third place of best-selling platforms is not bad.
