Nintendo announced its second-quarter results for the current fiscal year on Tuesday, revealing that its Switch console had sold 132.46 million units as of September 30. Sales of the console were up 2.4% compared to the first and second quarters of last year, selling 6.84 million units between April 1 and September 30.
The best-selling titles for Switch as of September 30 include:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 57.01 million copies Animal Crossing: New Horizons: 43.38 million copies Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: 32.44 million copies The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: 31.15 million copies Super Mario Odyssey: 26.95 million copies Pokémon Sword/Pokémon Shield: 26.02 million copies Pokémon Scarlet/Pokémon Violet: 23, 23 million copies Super Mario Party: 19.66 million copies The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: 19.50 million copies Super Mario Bros. New U Deluxe: 16.70 million copies
The company attributed its large revenue in the first half of the fiscal year to the rise of mobile gaming and the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. It also noted the yen’s depreciating value as a contributing factor.
Pikmin 4, released in July, achieved sales of 2.61 million.
Nintendo said its total revenue for the first two installments reached 796.2 billion yen, with sales outside Japan accounting for 78.3% of that total.
The Switch surpassed Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Nintendo’s Game Boy/Game Boy Color to become the third best-selling console of all time at the end of 2022 (behind the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS).
