Nintendo Co. Ltd sold 18.95 million Switch video game consoles in the nine months to the end of December, the Japanese company said on Thursday, taking total sales past 100 million and beating the lifetime sales of its Wii console.
Although the figure undershot the 24.1 million Switch units sold in the same period a year earlier, the milestone highlights the continuing demand for the device which is in its fifth year on the market.
The games maker based in Kyoto is seeking to extend the life of the aging system, launching an OLED model in October which had sold 3.99 million units by the end of the year.
