Update – Thu 12th Dec, 2019 02:00 GMT:<\/strong> Following on from last week’s Switch pre-order data for China, Niko Partners now estimates<\/a> “more than 50,000” Nintendo Switch Console (Tencent China Version) were sold to consumers in the country on launch day. This data comes from online retailers and Niko’s own market model.<\/p>\n

Online retailer JD.com revealed it sold more than 20,000 units via its website, with 47% of buyers aged between 16-25. TMall reportedly sold around 10,000 units before 10am, and 75% of its buyers were under the age of 30. The Switch is now on-track to reach Niko’s initial forecast of 100,000 units sold in China before the end of this year, and the system is expected to surpass PlayStation 4 sales in China by 2022 (covering both legal and grey market sales).<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Nintendo shares reached<\/a> a 19 month high following the launch of the Switch in mainland China.<\/p>\n
