Nintendo switch would have reached 15 million units in 2017

Nintendo Switch has been one of the technological products that have surprised the most during this year, having a sales volume that no one could predict before the launch of the game console.

Nintendo Switch is one of the best-selling technology products

According to the GBH Insights report, the Nintendo console was the fifth best-selling technology product in the world, reaching 15 million units sold around the globe. Nintendo Switch rubs shoulders with other products like the Apple Watch (20 million), Amazon Echo Dot (24 million), the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 (33 million), and the unstoppable iPhone with 223 million phones sold during 2017.

During last December 12, Nintendo reported that it had exceeded 10 million Switch consoles sold worldwide. These data are estimates from GBH (unofficial), but if true or approximate, Nintendo would have sold only during the Christmas campaign, about 5 million Nintendo Switch. a figure that would be quite impressive.

Other products that have surprised are the Amazon Echo Dot, which has caused a furor in the United States and the United Kingdom. This device is capable of receiving commands by voice and executing them, such as listening to any music we say, reading news, searching for anything on Google or controlling any device in the home that is linked to the device. Maybe much of its success is because it only costs $ 30.

But going back to Nintendo Switch. The success of the console is such that from the Japanese company itself they estimate that in 2018 they would sell more than 20 million video game consoles. Will they succeed?
