Sales of Nintendo Switch have reached historic levels

Nintendo Switch, one of the most important names in the gaming world, continues to increase its sales success.

Nintendo's acclaimed game console, the Switch, is entering its sixth year in the market and is reaching an impressive milestone. A recent report by Nihon Keizai Shimbun states that there was an extraordinary rise in Switch sales in Japan during June this year. The console sold around 380,000 units, an impressive increase of 68% when compared to the same time last year. This impressive sales record for June is a new high since the console's inception, largely attributed to the success of the game "Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom."

Nihon Keizai Shimbun also mentioned that Switch sales might see a drop in the years ahead. The projected net profits for the current fiscal year are expected to dip by 21%, amounting to approximately 340 billion yen.
