Will it one day dethrone the Wii?
It is by revealing its balance sheet that Nintendo revealed the latest sales figures for the Nintendo Switch. The living room laptop is in great shape despite a global shortage since it has sold on June 30 to 61 million copies. As a reminder, NES 61.912 million have passed, a figure that the Switch should have beaten this summer.
As of January 30, 2020, 50 million Switches had passed, so 11 million consoles had been sold in the space of six months! The pandemic has surely helped this year, but the success of this console remains undeniable.
On the flip side, the current shortage due to the shutdown of factories has resulted in outrageously rising prices. They can sometimes be found in stores at the suggested price of $ 400 for a classic Switch, but they sell out very quickly. Online, count around $ 900 to $ 1,000 for a new console, while on occasion, the Switch trades for over $ 700.
