In the second quarter, Nintendo Switch sales were 6.93 million units, a 36% increase compared to the same period last year. Nintendo Switch Lite released on September 21, 2019 and the new model of Nintendo Switch with significantly improved battery life have greatly influenced the increase in sales volume, and Nintendo Switch Lite is only 11 days after launch With 1.95 million units sold.

According to financial statements, Nintendo is enjoying strong digital sales, with digital sales revenue (71.6 billion yen) increasing by 83% in the second half of 2019. In the six months from April 2019 to the end of September, Nintendo sales were 443.9 billion yen and operating income was 94.2 billion yen.

Analyst Daniel Ahmad has released a graph summarizing the cumulative shipment volume of home video game consoles on Twitter, and how much Nintendo Switch from the release to the 31st week is selling compared to other games The contents are understandable.

The purple line in the graph below shows the cumulative shipment volume of Nintendo Switch, so far the only Nintendo stationary game machine that has sold over 100 million Wii (11.63 million) ), PS2 (155 million units), the best-selling game machine in history, and PS4 (102.8 million units), the fastest in history and 100 million units sold as a stationary game machine You can see that you can increase.



Looking only at the Nintendo game console, it's as follows. Although it is defeated by Wii (red line) and Nintendo DS (black line), it is clear that it is performing well compared to the previous generation stationary game console Wii U (blue line).



The reason why Xbox One shipments are not listed in the graph published by Ahmad is because Microsoft no longer announces the sales volume of Xbox.
