[h=1]The Nintendo Switch has sold 10 million units in under a year[/h]

[h=2]Nintendo has had a pretty good year[/h]

Nintendo has sold 10 million Switch consoles to players worldwide, the company announced today. This puts the system well on its way to outperforming Nintendo’s last console, the Wii U, which has only sold 13.5 million units to date.
These numbers are taken from Nintendo’s own internal estimates.
“Compared to the Wii U on its merits, the Switch is a slam dunk,” our review of the hardware stated. “It takes the basic concept of the Wii U, of a tablet-based console, and fulfills the promise of it in a way Nintendo simply wasn’t capable of realizing in 2012. It’s launching with a piece of software that, more than anything in the Wii U’s first year, demonstrates its inherent capability of delivering what Nintendo says is one of the Switch’s primary missions: a big-budget, AAA game that exists across a handheld device and a television-connected portable.”
The Wall Street Journal has reported that production on the console was set to increase in order to meet demand.
2017 was a very successful year for Nintendo in general, as both Super Mario Odyssey andLegend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild were two of the best-reviewed games of the year.
Sony also recently announced it has sold 70 million PlayStation 4 consoles to date worldwide, a system that has been on the market since 2013.

That's cute Nintendo.

PlayStation 4 has now sold 70.6 million units worldwide as of December 3rd. That means the console sold through 20.6 million units in the past 12 months. More than in any prior 12 month period. It also went from 60m to 70m in 172 days. Less days than any other 10m milestone.

They need to sell better than Wii U to survive, not PS4 or Xbox

[manigamer]

its doing much better than WIIU and with the new games announced and more coming in 2018 going to be even more of a HIT !

It took Sony 9 months to sell the first 10M PS4s. Nintendo did it in roughly the same amount of time.

And yes, this essentially means it sold faster than the first 10M Xbox Ones.

It's a win over WiiU for sure but it is really weird to see how much it actually under performed compared to the PS4 this year considering how much media hype Switch has been getting even from mainstream channels. There's literally switch ads on every channel in the evenings (especially between The CW shows like Flash, Arrow, Supergirl etc).

I don't think we can attribute this 100% to "stock shortages" either. There's been no indication from Nitty that there was any issue like that recently.

The launch sales graph for both PS4/Switch is exactly the same, though. The PS4 is currently in its 4th year, has a large library of games, and costs a $100 less than it did at launch. The Switch, in year 4, potentially at $200 with a bigger lineup of software is likely to do as well as the PS4 is currently doing.

[MENTION=26]Chandoo[/MENTION]: Your comparison is flawed. Comparing first year of launch vs a console that now has 4 years worth of games. How did PS4 do in its first 10 months?

10 million in 9 months while selling at a $100 higher price point than the Switch ($399 vs 299).

It did reasonably well.

Sure, just pointing how marketing trends don't exactly reflect actual sales. In this case at least.

A true successor to the wii it is.
Same as PS4 is to PS2!

Switch’s hidden Iwata tribute removed in latest updateHackers say that the code for ‘Flog’ is all goneNintendo Switch’s hidden copy of Golf, a Nintendo Entertainment system game from 1984, appears to be gone from the console as of its latest firmware update. Members of the Switch’s datamining community found that Nintendo appears to have wiped Golf’s source code from the game, removing what many thought to be a loving tribute to its programmer, former Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata.“Switch update 4.0.0 stubs ‘flog’ — all code to launch it removed, and flog executable overwritten with (signed) garbage,” wrote user SciresM, who often shares findings from Switch hacks on Twitter.We’ve reached out to Nintendo about the seeming removal, although the company has been reticent to acknowledge the emulation before.“Flog” is the file name assigned to the emulator that ran Golf, which the same hacking community identified back in September. It reportedly could only be accessed through highly unconventional means: The Switch’s system date had to be set to July 11, which was the day Iwata died. But players can’t change the internal clock once they’ve connected their Switch to the internet, so very few owners were able to demonstrate Golf running on the system.Those who did showed another possible requirement to activate the game: holding the Joy-Con controllers and pointing them outward, as Satoru Iwata often did in Nintendo Direct presentations.With “flog” gone, so too is the Switch’s most obscure, touching reference. Nintendo has long declined to confirm or outright acknowledge the Golf emulation — with Nintendo of America president coming the closest to talking about it in a Kotaku interview — but it was certainly nice to think that a little part of Iwata lived on inside of the Switch, the first console Nintendo has released since his death in 2015.

Switch becomes fastest-selling console in US history, according to NintendoNintendo starts 2018 with a victory lapNintendo has announced that its portable/console hybrid is now the fastest-selling console in U.S. history, according to its own internal sales estimates. The Nintendo Switch is even beating the sales of the original Wii in the United States.“The home console that players can take wherever they go launched March 3, 2017, and in 10 months has sold more than 4.8 million units in the United States, according to Nintendo’s internal sales figures,” Nintendo stated. “That’s the highest total for the first 10 months of any home video game system in U.S. history, surpassing Nintendo’s own Wii system, which was the previous record holder with more than four million units sold during the same timeframe.”It’s going to be hard for Nintendo to top 2017 for hardware or software sales, as both Super Mario Odyssey and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild helped to move the hardware. Nintendo released a system that everyone seemed to want while also providing it with its most popular games.“In the U.S., more than 60 percent of Nintendo Switch owners have Super Mario Odyssey, and over 55 percent own The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” Nintendo announced. “Not only are these games system-sellers, but they’re also two of the highest-rated games in history.”
