The numbers you’ll see below are updated as of December 31, when the latest fiscal quarter (which begun on October 1) ended.

In the infographic below you can see exactly how many Nintendo Switch units have been shipped to retailers, alongside shipped units for software, and the same goes for Nintendo’s older portable, the 3DS.

The hybrid console has now reached 52.48 million units worldwide.

This means that the Switch has shipped a whopping 10.81 million units during the Holiday quarter, between October and December.

We also get the outlook for the current fiscal year, which will end on March 31, 2020. Nintendo predicts to sell 19.5 million Switch units in the twelve-months period, which would bring the total to 54.24 units if that goal was achieved.

This is an increase of 1.5 million units compared to the predictions shared earlier this year.

This isn’t too surprising considering that the previous outlook aimed to reach 52.74 million units by march 31, and the Switch was just 260,000 units short of that goal by December 31.

If you want to compare, you can check out the previous update that was released in Octovber and was related to the fiscal quarter ended on September 30, 2019.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
