The Switch is enjoying the strongest launch of any Nintendo home console - at least in the Americas

A report from New York Times writer Nick Wingfield claims that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch is already a massive success for Nintendo. Although exact numbers weren't shared, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told Wingfield that the system has easil𝓡y trumped launch weekend sales figures for the Wii U in the Americas, and it's even ove♊rtaken the original Wii as the company's best-selling product at launch (again, in the Americas).

It would be impossible - and a bit silly - to make a prediction about Nintendo's future success or failure based on this information, but what it does tell us is interesting nonetheless.

This is the first home console in a long time to be released outside of the typical holiday window, which shows that gamers' wallets aren't as tied to the season as 🍨many likely think. The number of units produced and sold exceeding the Wii also gives me hope that Nintendo has figured out its production pipeline, an꧙d hopefully there won't be months upon months of dry spells like back in 2006 and 2007.

In thওe meantime, Nintendo fans, be happy: you've got a sizeable number of comrades out t🦩here.
