Nintendo has sold 1.5 million Switch consoles globally, according to box counters SuperData, with 85,000 sold in the UK.
While it was clear that the console launch had proved successful , these figures suggest that Nintendo is well on-course to exceed its sales target of two million by the end of March. Of the 1.5 million sold worldwide one-third, or 500,000, went to buyers in the US, 360,000 were sold in Japan and 11,000 in France.
As noted by Gamesindustry.biz , SuperData’s figures are mainly being sourced from the first week of sales, so it’s likely that the current total of Nintendo Switch consoles sold is higher than 1.5 million units.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , pretty much the only game available for the console (and not cheap at £60) has also been touted as the fastest-selling launch title in Nintendo history, with 89 per cent of Switch buyers picking up the game along with their console.
