NintendObserver’s select content on financial results.
Looking at the success of Paper Mario The Origami King, with a period of merely two months from reveal to launch, I really hope Nintendo will take advantage of this stage of the Nintendo Switch's lifecycle to revive and reinvigorate older, now obscure franchises.
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition reached 1.32 million units, and Clubhouse Games 51 Worldwide Classics sold 1.03 million units.
18 titles published by Nintendo sold more a million copies within this last fiscal year, and that includes Astral Chain.
"Animal Crossing: New Horizons, released in March, sold 11.77 million units, which is now the best start ever for a Nintendo Switch title."
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe still on top with 24.77 million units sold as of March 31, 2020. Also: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild outsold Super Mario Odyssey.
Nintendo Switch at 55.77 million units sold as of March 31, 2020.
"In total, sales reached 1,022.6 billion yen (including overseas sales of 795.7 billion yen, or 77.8% of the total)." ...That's over a trillion yen. A trillion with a t.
"On the software side, the period saw the release of Super Mario Maker 2 in June, which has sold 3.93 million units, Fire Emblem: Three Houses in July, which has sold 2.29 million units, and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening in September, which has sold 3.13 million units."
So Super Mario Maker 2 sold 2.42 million units in three days (the third day being a Sunday).
This includes the financial results for this fiscal year and the outlook for the one upcoming.
This is for the history books. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker crossed the million on Switch alone.
