The cumulative sales volume of Switch has been rising steadily, and now it has finally broken through 1 100 million units.
Recently, VGChartz released the latest data. As of 12 and 18, Switch is estimated to have sold 10072 million units, exceeding1000 million units.
It is not surprising that Switch can achieve this result, and there are many factors behind it.
First of all, although the function of Switch is weak, the design of handheld and host in one is basically unique in the game market, and this convenient form switching has attracted many users.
And compared with PC-like hosts, its price also has great advantages.
Secondly, Nintendo's first-party game production ability is very strong. Since the release of Switch, a series of phenomenal games such as Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness, Sports Sen, Mario Odyssey and Fitness Ring have been launched successively. This also made Switch a success.
In addition, the new situation of home office and home isolation brought by * * has objectively increased the demand for games and game consoles.
The skyrocketing price of graphics cards has also caused more PC players to turn their attention to Switch.
Nintendo's financial report shows that in 2020, the sales volume of Switch was 28.83 million units, and the cumulative sales volume exceeded 80 million units. Now, the sales volume exceeds 100 million.
So far, Switch has been subdivided into four versions, but the core configuration and functions remain basically unchanged.
In fact, many switches are not satisfied with their weak performance, large fruit screen and easily broken handle. I hope the next generation of switches will come soon.
However, personally, Xiao Lei thinks that the true next-generation Switch has not been released so soon.
Now, the number of Switch users has exceeded 1 100 million, which is a huge market for the host. Making and selling games for this group is very cost-effective, and Nintendo can make a lot of profits from it.
The rumored Switch2 or SwitchPro feels that it will be compatible with the current Switch cassette with a high probability.
In any case, Xiao Lei still wants to buy the next generation Switch with better performance as soon as possible, at least with better picture quality and frame number.
