This is not very surprising, as the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is one of the biggest games that is available for the Nintendo Switch at the time of launch and the attach rate between the console and this game is nearly one to one.
The report further suggests that Nintendo Switch mini could sell 6.7 million units in 12 months through March 2019 and the standard Nintendo Switch will have sold 25.7 million units by then.
It out-sold every single prior Nintendo product in their first-month release, including the Wii, and the Gameboy Advance.
You didn't read that wrong: there were more copies of Breath of the Wild sold on Switch than there were Switches themselves. The game sold more than 925,000 units for the Nintendo Switch, and 460,000 units for the Wii U console. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is launching on April 28th, while ARMS and Splatoon 2 are headed to the console this summer.
It is undoubtedly that the Nintendo Switch will get the top spot in March's sales.

They played with such an intensity, I couldn't ask any more of them. "This group don't know how to give in". We need a win and I'm confident we'll get it.
Though it's too early to say any of this is certain-the Switch has barely been out one month-this would be a very Nintendo move. That's a pretty incredible considering they sold more copies of the game itself than systems. Today, an independent research group, SuperData, released a report that reveals the console's global success, selling over 2.4 million units across the world! In fact, it sold 906,000 units in just 28 days since its sale in North America.
The Nintendo Switch is selling fast and breaking records at Nintendo.
It also didn't hurt that "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" - an incredible game that received near-universal praise from critics and consumers alike - launched alongside the Switch. Do you think Nintendo's newest console will be successful as the Wii had been?
The Zelda franchise is "a system seller", a game so appealing that users will buy the hardware in order to play it, said Serkan Toto, a Tokyo-based game industry analyst.
