The Nintendo Switch OLED sold around 314.000 times in the United States in October, according to the NPD Group. The Japanese console manufacturer got off to a good start. Much more impressive, however, are the stable sales figures for the Nintendo Switch overall.
Weltweit beinahe 93 Millionen Mal hat sich die Nintendo Switch inzwischen insgesamt verkauft. In weniger als fünf Jahren hat der japanische Konsolenhersteller diese Bilanz hinlegen können. Mit dem Verkaufsstart des verbesserten Modells Nintendo Switch OLED wird die Marke erneut gestärkt – und damit vermutlich deutlich langlebiger.
Nintendo Switch: Year-on-year stable figures
Mit 314.000 allein in den Vereinigten Staaten verkauften Exemplaren hat die Nintendo Switch OLED einen soliden Start hingelegt. Die guten Absätze stärken damit erneut das Phänomen „Nintendo Switch“ – it can be assumed that the hybrid console will often find its way from retail shelves into living rooms in the coming months.
This is made clear, among other things, by the figures from the year-on-year comparison. According to the NPD Group, only three percent fewer Nintendo Switches were sold in October 2021 than last year. The sales figures are proving to be stable. In numbers, that's 711.000 console units sold. The boss of Nintendo of America, Doug Bowser, pointed this out recently in one Interview with the Washington Post out.
At the same time, Bowser looks positively towards the Christmas season, which traditionally ensures particularly strong console sales. And something else is surprising: the US American boss confirmed that many of the Nintendo Switch units that were sold during the month were bought by those who already own the console and another for themselves or their families bought. There are no exact figures, but the statement alone is surprising. Nintendo Switch fans seem to be building a strong bond with the console brand.
Auch in Großbritannien und in Japan startete die Nintendo Switch OLED stark. Jüngst stellte Nintendo zudem erneut klar, dass man bei der Nintendo Switch I'm only halfway through the console's life cycle. However, the good sales figures, combined with the noticeable global shortage of semiconductor chips, also have a downside. As Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa stated, they will probably not be able to meet demand this holiday season. This pleases fans who get hold of a console, but also so-called scalpers who want to profit from hardware shortages.
