already sold 10 million units to
consumers around the world according to
Nintendo's internal sales figures that
10 million unit mark was reached within
nine months of release for comparison
the Nintendo Wii U sold around 13.5
million units since its release over a
period of five years the original Wii
sold over 100 million units over its
lifespan as it brought motion controlled
console games to the masses if you want
to compare the switch to its current
rivals the Sony Playstation 4 sold 10
million units worldwide in just under
nine months after its release in 2013
Microsoft said that the Xbox one was
nearing 10 million units sold in to
retailers within about a year of its

helped by strong games like Super Mario
