Nintendo Switch has outsold Gamecube with more than 22 million consoles coming

The Nintendo Switch achieves new sales successes, managing in a year and a half to overcome the moderate failure that was the Nintendo GameCube, managing to sell more than 22 million consoles.

Nintendo needed a breath of fresh air after the disaster that was the Wii U, which barely sold 13 million consoles and everything indicates that with the Nintendo Switch they have found a new golden goose to live on for a long time. The portability of the console and having a huge support from indie creators have made the console sell 22 million copies.

In the latest Nintendo report, they have confirmed that their hybrid console has sold more than 22 million consoles specifically 22.860.000 units of Switch are already in player homes around the world. We cannot but be delighted that Nintendo is continuing to offer a competitive offering, although it is far from the hundreds of millions of sales of the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii, but these 22 million have been achieved in just over a year and a half, going on sale around the world in spring, a time of few purchases.

Nintendo Switch surpasses Gamecube in sales

With said console overcome, the next target to overcome is the almost 33 million Nintendo 64 that were sold at the time, and the Switch is aiming to do so before the end of the fiscal year in March. This prediction is due to a Christmas campaign that includes Super Smash Bros Ultimate and with an Animal Crossing already announced, capable of bringing the most demanding Nintendo audience and players looking for more relaxed experiences but with a recognizable franchise.

They have also given data from software sold with 111 million games that have been sold for the Switch, which really points to a console that can really be interesting for all kinds of developers looking for a platform on which to sell their games.
