Nintendo Reports Impressive Switch Sales Figures & Profit

[Uskompuf]

Nintendo has recently posted its FY2021 results which show extremely impressive sales and profit figures for their flagship Nintendo Switch console. The Nintendo Switch has now sold 84.59 million units over its lifetime which places it above the Game Boy Advance and puts it closer to reaching the Wii at 101.63 million units sold. In FY2021 28.84 million units were sold representing a 37% increase from FY2020, these impressive sales numbers resulted in hardware profits of 8.2 billion USD which accounted for 57.2% of total gaming earnings. The Nintendo Switch is unique in this regard as it is the only major console to have profitable hardware sales whereas the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 are all sold at a loss. Nintendo intends to maintain this momentum with forecasted sales of 25.50 million units in FY2022 which would make the Nintendo Switch the second best-selling Nintendo console of all time only behind the original Game Boy at 118 million units.

BotW style game w/ multiplayer. Me and the kids would never stop playing. I essentially had to quit playing BotW because if I played, the second I set it down they'd start a fight over who got dibs.

Honestly. I have 2 switches the OG one and the new Lite and i have been playing them i think more than my PC + PS4/XB1 combined. The convenience to sit down anywhere and play a game for 20 min intervals (depending on the game) is great. Also this is my biggest thing i liked. I do not have to wait for extra downloads for the game to work unlike PS4 for example.
