According to a report by the NPD Group, which tracks the sale of video games in the us, the Nintendo Switch system sold more than 906,000 units in the month of March, making it one of the fastest-selling gaming systems of all times.
It is confirmed that more than nine-hundred thousand units of Nintendo Switch was sold last month.
The company sold over 906,000 Switches in the USA in March. "We are thrilled with the incredible response we have received to date for Project Scorpio, and look forward to sharing more about the Xbox One family of devices in the coming months", Xbox marketing boss Mike Nichols stated. The Nintendo Switch sold 906,000 SKUs in North America, while the remaining stock of their 2 million SKU supply was split between Japan, Europe and Australia. It is now contingent on Nintendo to ensure they can maintain this kind of momentum going forward, preferably with good new game releases.
