Nintendo has released its financial statement for the nine-month period between April and December 2024, and although the Switch has hit a new sales milestone, profits and sales are down overall.
In its financial presentation, Nintendo acknowledges that sales are down by 31.4% and net profit has fallen by 41.9% when compared to the same nine-month period last year, with sales of both hardware and software plummeting.
Despite this, the company also reveals that the Switch has reached 150 million lifetime sales, putting it within throwing distance of the Nintendo DS family (around 154 million) and perhaps even the all-time title holder, Sony's PS2 (160 million).
In terms of software sales, while overall figures fell, Super Mario Party Jamboree emerged as a big seller for Nintendo, reaching 6.17 million units sold in the nine-month time period.
Newcomer The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom sold almost 4 million copies, while Nintendo Switch Sports picked up another 2.63 million sales for itself. Incredibly, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 5.38 million units during this time period. Could there still be Switch owners out there who don't own this game?
Of course, there's one big, massive exclamation point...
