Nintendo Q3 Sales

One month after the end of a quarter, Nintendo releases a financial report that includes worldwide sales data for their consoles and games.

The Nintendo Switch shipped a total of 79.87 million units to date. That's an increase of 11.57 million sold since last quarter. This puts it's lifetime sales at above the 3DS (75.94 million) and fast approaching the GBA (81.51 million).

Highlights for Q3 software sales include an incredible 31.18 million lifetime copies of Animal Crossing, with over 5 million in Q3 alone.
