Nintendo is a company that has distanced itself from the console war for many years. Instead of trying to compete by making increasingly powerful consoles and releasing them one after another, the Japanese company does its own thing, catering to its own audience, and it’s doing well<\/strong>. If we look at the numbers they have shared about their financial performance in 2023<\/a>, it’s clear.<\/p>\n\n\n

The most striking thing is the sales of the console itself. Nintendo Switch continues to sell, even at what seems to be the end of its life cycle. Reaching 139.36 million units sold as of December 31, 2023, this places it as the third best-selling console in history<\/strong>. Only surpassed by Nintendo DS, which is at 154 million units, and the PlayStation 2, at 155 million units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to games, the numbers don’t hold many more secrets. The best-selling game during the last quarter of December 2023 was Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, selling 3.57 million copies, followed by Animal Crossing: New Horizons, with 1.41 million, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with 1.23 million<\/strong>. If we talk about the total number of copies sold historically, it’s not surprising either that these three games are the best-selling ones: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with 60.58 million copies, Animal Crossing: New Horizons with 44.79 million, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with 33.67 million. Although closely followed by Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with 31.61 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
