Nintendo Celebrates 10 Million Switch Console Sales Across Europe

That has to be some kind of record for Nintendo in Europe. Probably held up by the main continent mind.

attach rate of 3.6 , seams low ive 30+

Can't wait to get mine in 5 days.

Way better then the Wii U for sure

Can't Nintendo celebrate by giving us some free goodies?

@jockmahon It does seem a bit low considering that the overall average attach rate is nearly 5+ for Switch.

"Nintendo of Europe President, Stephan Bole"

I keep forgetting it is not Satoru Shibata. Kind of miss seeing him in Directs. Either way though, this is good news.

And the Trolls are out in full force to deny what they refuse to admit. Nintendo Switch smashed everything of their delusional dreams of failures.

@ryancraddock Oops, indeed. In that case, it looks really good. Long live Nintendo!

I myself have bought 2 Nintendo and 1 3rd party physical games while travelling in the UK, so I contributed as well.

Good stuff.

People will scoff at ports on Switch, but look how successful some ports like MK8D, NSMBUD, Crash and Minecraft have done, in just one region. Nintendo and 3rd parties release ports because people buy them, simple as.

@wazlon Was thinking the same thing

Mario Maker is notoriously absent.
I guess NSMBU sold alot because it was released without too much competition, whereas Mario Maker was released at the start of summer craziness.

@Starvald I totally don't care for Mario Maker. Each his own of course. But New Super Mario Bros game to me is way better and fun. Who wants to waste time to create levels you made yourself and knowing all the secrets and takes time before you really can play. To me it doesn't work. I need it ready as it is

@Alucard83 I understand that - they are different kinda types of games. I don't doubt Mario Maker will surpass NSMBU sales.

Just as a note, I have played 75h of Mario Maker and haven't created a single level.

I have over 100 Switch games at this point between physical and digital... #IdonthaveaproblemWhatareyoutalkingabout?

@SwitchForce
I may be considered a troll because of my strong negative comments of the "switch" lite, but of course I don't deny the numbers or success of Nintendo. Nor is there a desire to do that. I just don't like one particular member of the family and that is ok. I'll always look at it as a half baked pointless not-worthy-of-the name product and that's it.

And only 9,999,999 have problems with JoyCon drift.

@Heavyarms55
I think you need to book an appointment at your local GP's.

So I’m guessing sales of switch lite are good?

i imagine links awakening will easily get into that million sellers list

@Mountain_Man : I'm sure the number would be higher if your calculator could accommodate more than 7 digits.

@dew12333 : Amusingly, "Nintendo thumb", "nintendonitis", and "Wii shoulder" are actual entries in the Australian Macquarie Dictionary.

Can't wait for pokemon sword and shield, they will surely be added to that million list in a matter of days

Congrats!
A little above average with 300+ physical games, no joycon drift, so keeping my fingers crossed!

@PiXeLSteF You have over 300 games?? Woah!

I have over 30 games, I'll probably only grab another 25 or so more though. 60 to 70 games is more than enough for a system.

I have all of the games listed there, too, aside from 1-2-Switch. Why did that game sell so much I wonder? It's a tech-demo sold for full price. Never really saw the appeal outside of just looking like an idiot playing games. Even moreso than with the Wii.

Well whatever, nice milestone right here! Here's to another 10 million more units and many more games to grace this lovely system!

Well ninty, if you rlly wanted to celebrate with us and thank us. Why not giving is a nice sale with decent discounts on those games.. They're just bragging now how much money they make. xD

@Divinebovine Yes I am ill 😝

@jockmahon you bought 30 games with your switch? That's what attach rate means..

@Joe-b yes more than 30

@Yosher Yeah 1-2 Switch would be a real head scratcher, but one must remember......There were only like a handful of games on launch day and 1-2 Switch was just the beneficiary of being there at the beginning with no real competition. I took a hard pass just going home with Zelda at midnight on that lovely March day. After getting home I purchased FR_Neo and I am (not) Setsuna. Like others I pretty much played Zelda non stop until MK8D and M+RK came out. Scary to think the system isn't even 3yrs old and it has a library rivaling any system ever made....count me as someone who thinks the best is yet to come but 17 and 19 will have to go down as banner years for Nintendo made/published games.

So that's
9.2m for Japan
10m for Europe
18m for USA
37.2m lifetime
And XMAS still to come.............

Pretty impressive for Splatoon 2 to be the only non Mario/Zelda/Pokemon game to break into the list.

UK Switch sales are at 1.9 million so far

@YozenFroghurt, @aVagabond everyone knows it's hard to admit when your own forecast was clearly wrong and trying to be revisionist doesn't change the outcome. Nintendo clearly picked the right decision even when naysayers said it wouldn't work. But don't worry given enough sunshine and you will grow more.

@SwitchForce
Forecast? I believe I gave no forecast. I expressed my hope for "switch" lite to flop and am still hoping it will. Because in my opinion it is not a complete product, plus there is that ominous potential drift. But if it survives and thrives, so be it. It won't get my support and that is fine. Just like it's fine that people buy the thing.

@jockmahon that's quite a haul. 30 games and a switch unit in one transaction. An attach rate of 3 is really good. Switch is doing well. I wish they would announce Pikmin4

@Lord 100 million would be nice but I'm thinking maybe 70-73 million tops. But really I don't know.

@lemonjellydude I'd like to see how the DQ XI does. It's the best game ice played in a long time. It's different than links awakening but in my opinion better. DQ XI is amazing.

@jockmahon I guess piracy is strong in Europe.

@Pariz Nope, the prices for the games are too high. Europa isnt just the rich countrys like germany, great britain, france and sweden, we have strong problems with unemployment and poverty in way too much countrys. Even in germany we need institutes that feeding the poors, there is absolutley no chance for these people, to buy a luxury product like a Nintendo game for 50 to 60€.

1/2 Switch: the quiet, underrated masterpiece (please Nintendo, give us the ability to use whatever games we wish to use in party mode)

@Pestilence #getajob#lol#smh

@pullmyfinger #GetCancerToo#lol#HealthInsurance

Well I contributed 2x switches to the pool and will be adding a switch lite to that next year. Possibly an extended battery version too if no news of a pro is released

@Pestilence Thanks for the insight!

Fix your fking joycons c*nts

1-2 Switch has shifted 1m+ copies but ARMS hasn’t?! 😔

@PiXeLSteF

But do you play them all ?

@KitsuneNight
Unfortunately not, I work full time+ and have a huge backlog in the meantime. But I decided this was going to be the last console collecting for, so I might have the rest of my life to spend time on that backlog

@PiXeLSteF

Sadly i have a huge backlog too ( 853 steam games ) so I was wondering what your secret was to get through them.

Oh well at least we will never be bored.
