Switch

Nintendo has revealed that the Switch family of systems - so the original model and the new Nintendo Switch Lite - have now shifted 10 million units between them across Europe, with hardware sales rising year-on-year.

It's not a bad milestone to have reached as the gaming giant gears up for the holiday season; across the continent, hardware sales in 2019 are almost 30% higher than last year and more than 40% higher than 2017.

Nintendo of Europe President, Stephan Bole, has shared the following in a press release:

“The Nintendo Switch family of consoles is being enjoyed by millions of players across Europe, and passing such a major milestone is testament to its broad appeal. European sales of Nintendo Switch hardware and software are growing significantly each year, and existing and new console owners have a wealth of titles to choose from, with plenty more on the way.

The company has also revealed that European Switch owners have purchased more than 36 million Nintendo-published titles since the console first released in March 2017, with nine Nintendo-published games going on to sell more than a million copies:

Nintendo-published Switch games which have sold more than one million copies in Europe:

Nintendo has also praised a selection of third-party games including Minecraft, Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and Stardew Valley, all of which have sold more than half a million copies across Europe.

Not bad at all, huh?
