Nintendo switch sells 20 million consoles

The Japanese firm has released its earnings report for the first three months of the new fiscal year that started in April. This quarter, it had an operating profit of 30.5 trillion yen ($ 275 million), with total revenues of 168 trillion yen (1.51 trillion dollars), which translates into year-on-year increases of 88.4% and 9.1%, respectively. Mario Kart Deluxe has broken the sales threshold of 10 million units, joining Super Mario Odyssey, and expecting The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to do so later this quarter.

Something that seems difficult, although a big rebound is expected with the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Pokemon Let's Go and Super Mario Party later this year. year.
