The data you’ll see below is updated as of June 30, when the latest fiscal quarter (which began on April 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 Switch console has now reached 61.44 million units shipped worldwide.

Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that during the quarter lifetime software shipments for the Nintendo Switch surpassed the lifetime total shipped for the 3DS.

According to the figures, the Switch has shipped 5.68 million units between April and June.

For the sake of comparison, Sony has shipped 1.9 million units in the last quarter, reaching a grand total of 112.2 million units as of June 30.

We also get the current outlook for the full fiscal year, which will end on March 31, 2021. Nintendo still predicts selling 19 million Switch units in the twelve-months period, which would bring the total to 74.77 units if that goal was achieved. This prediction has not changed since the previous report.

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.
