Lifetime Switch sales have surpassed 17M units
<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/lifetime-switch-sales-have-surpassed-17m-units.jpg" width="646" height="404" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>The Nintendo Switch has <a href="https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.html">sold 17.79 million units</a> since launching just over a year ago on March 3, 2017. </p>
<p>Nintendo revealed <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/317077/Nintendo_reports_jump_in_profits_as_Switch_tops_15M_sales.php">15.05 million of those sales</a> came during the past fiscal year, helping to bump up the company’s full-year sales and profits. </p>
<p>It’s not just Switch hardware that’s selling, either. The console’s software roster has pulled in combined sales of 68.97 million, with popular first-party franchises like <em>Super Mario</em>, <em>The Legend of Zelda</em>, and <em>Splatoon </em>leading the charge.</p>
<p>The latest hardware figures put the Switch well beyond its predecessor, with the Wii U only racking up 13.56 million lifetime sales. </p>
<p>As it stands, Nintendo expects the Switch to <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/312378/Report_Nintendo_expects_to_sell_20M_Switch_consoles_in_the_next_fiscal_year.php">sell another 20 million units</a> during this financial year. If that happens, we could very well see the console close in on the 40 million sales mark by March 2019.</p>
