Nintendo Switch sales surge past those of the 3DS – Yahoo News Australia
The Japanese firm’s latest console has sold about four million more units than its predecessor.
Sales of Nintendo’s Switch gaming consoles have surpassed those of their predecessor – the 3DS – despite being available for a much shorter period.
The firm said 79.87 million units had been sold since its March 2017 launch.
The figures accompanied the Japanese firm’s financial results, which saw it declare a record 377bn yen ($3.6bn) profit for the April-December period.
Analysts attribute the Switch’s success to the popularity of Animal Crossing, among other family-friendly exclusives.
