In the reports, Nintendo detailed that the life-to-date hardware sales of the Nintendo Switch are at 14.86 million units. That means, yes, its officially outsold the Wii U, which settled on 13.56 million units when its life was cut short. Switch software sales are currently sitting at 52.5 million units, roughly double that of the life-to-date software sales data presented last quarterly report, and about halfway to the Wii Us lifetime software sales.

Top selling software titles for the Switch are as follows:

Super Mario Odyssey 9.07 million units
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 7.33 million units
Splatoon 2 4.91 million units
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 6.70 million units
ARMS 1.61 million units
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 1.06 million units


Damn Mario outsold Battlefront 2

But I'm surprised that Xenoblade 2 did as well as it did, whereas Pokken DX didn't make the list.

I'm surprised people were so quick to trust Nintendo again, especially after the Wii U.

That being said, once Metroid Prime 4 releases and a price drop comes around, I might pick one up

Super Mario Odyssey has already outsold the highest selling Wii U title, Mario Kart 8, which had impressive sales tbh (around 7.5 million units) in just 3 months. Pretty crazy.

I guess they cut corners with the rather shoddy dub to get it out at the same time internationally.

This is worldwide sales of course, and Mario has always been a much bigger seller than Zelda in Japan. BotW is actually the best-performing Zelda game in years.

Because Nintendo is a shit tier company.

Seriously though, I was sort of kidding. I have a lot of money invested in them, so it's great news for me.

I think if anything, it shows and somewhat proves that the biggest issue with the Wii U was the marketing. The casuals that bought up the Wii by the thousands didn't see any reason to "upgrade" to the Wii U because they more than likely couldn't understand the point. They didn't understand the draw of the Wii U and that's 100% on Nintendo.

From the very beginning, Nintendo has made it blatantly obvious what the Nintendo Switch is and what it can do, and most importantly how it differs from any other previous Nintendo product.

With the flaming rule being on the side of welchers (you can't call them welchers directly anymore) nobody is ever going to follow through with bets. I mean, we knew he was probably welching anyway, but still.

Personally, I'm waiting for Pikmin 3 to get ported over. Really wanted to play that, but no way I was buying a Wii U for it.

A lot of Wii U games still have demand from being ported over to the Switch with success though. Demand is still high for more ports lol. If you play those games and enjoy them youre being a hypocrite. The setup of the Switch played on the TV with a pro controller was also common with Wii U players - people just obsessed over the tablet.

Got a proper answer for this now.

So it sold 1.5 million

Another interesting statement from Miyamoto.
