Nintendo has given its hardware sales forecast a shot in the arm with the Switch closing on 140 million lifetime sales.
The company has increased its Switch hardware forecast by 500,000 units to 15.5 million units for the fiscal year. That might seem like a minor bump given the Switch has sold 139.36 million units to date, but its indicative of the console’s enduring popularity seven years post launch.
As noted in Nintendo’s fiscal report for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, hardware sales across the entire Nintendo Switch family declined by 7.8 percent year-on-year to 13.74 million units, but Nintendo said those results were in line with expectations with the console entering its golden years.
