Nintendo shifted 1.97m of those during April, May and June, despite limited stock being available worldwide. It's an impressive start - and crucially, unlike Wii U, one which as yet shows no sign of losing momentum.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017- ... our-monthsSpeaking to retailers this morning, Nintendo Switch has sold around 80,000 units in the UK during its opening weekend.
That's double the number of Wii U consoles that were sold during its opening weekend (40,000 back in late 2013).
It's not as high as 3DS' debut, which was 113,000 according to Nintendo. Nor does it come close to the PS4 launch (250,000) or the Xbox One launch (150,000).
However, it is a strong and steady performance for the machine. There wasn't a huge number of units pushed into the channel (some units were sold out at major retailers) and the marketing and PR campaign was truncated and arrived late in the day. Retailers tell us that they were very happy with the launch and one store even declared: "Nintendo is back."
