Nintendo sold 6.86 million units of the Switch between July and September, reaching a total of 68.3 million units sold since the console’s launch in 2017. The hybrid console topped the total sales of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
Sales in Q3 2020 represent growth of more than 40% over the same period last year, which is particularly impressive considering the Switch Lite launch this time in 2019.
In a statement released on the investor page, Nintendo informs that Animal Crossing: New Horizons was one of the main drivers of console sales. The game reached a total of 26.04 million units sold.
