First released to the public back in 2017, the Nintendo Switch\u00a0<\/strong>led to\u00a0a meteoric resurgence for Nintendo, with its innovative design and ability to play sprawling games while on the go turning it into one of the company’s\u00a0most beloved consoles to date. It’s also shipped some of the most revered games in Nintendo’s entire library, including\u00a0The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/a>, Super Mario Odyssey,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Animal Crossing: New Horizons.<\/em><\/p>\n

It makes sense that the console’s rampant popularity would translate well to sales, and thanks to a new financial report, fans now know exactly how well the Switch is doing. According to the report, a whopping\u00a079.87 million Nintendo Switch<\/a>\u00a0units\u00a0have been shipped across the world, seeing the console overtake the Nintendo 3DS’ sales in just under four years.<\/p>\n

To put that in perspective, the Nintendo 3DS<\/a>\u00a0launched back in 2011 and was discontinued\u00a0last September\u00a0with 75.94 million sales, so the Switch is no doubt primed to set new records in the years to come. It does have some pretty steep competition to overcome, however, with it currently ranking as the fifth most successful Nintendo console of all time. It’s beaten out by four pretty historic names, with the Game Boy Advance just managing to retain fourth with 81.5 million units sold, the Nintendo\u00a0Wii sitting comfortably in\u00a0third with 101.6 million, and the Game Boy taking second with 118.7 million. The Nintendo DS is still atop the pack, though, with an astounding 154 million units shipped.<\/p>\n

It’ll be intriguing to see where the Nintendo Switch winds up in the years to come, especially with the console continuing to ship seminal new games that act as wide draws to the console’s audience.\u00a0Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>has been a particularly important exclusive for the platform, with it becoming a worldwide phenomenon last year during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. The game is still selling extraordinarily well, even topping the UK physical sales chart\u00a0last week almost a year after it first debuted.<\/p>\n

As for what blockbuster experiences the console will wind up dropping this year, it still seems a little too early to predict. In terms of what fans do know, they will be getting a sequel to the cult-classic hack-and-slash franchise\u00a0No More Heroes\u00a0<\/em>during 2021\u00a0and\u00a0Monster Hunter Rise\u00a0<\/em>will be coming exclusively to the Switch in March. Meanwhile, Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Bravely Default 2\u00a0<\/em>launch this month, while a follow-up to\u00a0Pokemon Snap\u00a0<\/em>is set to launch on April 30.<\/p>\n
