11.57 million consoles were moved in total, bringing the switch close to 80 million sold since its 2017 launch. Nintendo has increased its forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31 to 26.5 million switch units.
Only 730,000 3DS games were shipped during the last quarter. The older handheld reached a total of 75.94 million units before production was ended.
It was also a massive quarter for Nintendo in terms of software sales. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and animal crossing: New Horizons both crossed the 30 million mark for the first time.
Nintendo already raised its fiscal year forecast to 24 million switch units from 19 million three months ago, citing increased demand due to the covid-19 pandemic. With more than 12 million consoles shipped already at that point in the year, it was still a fairly conservative prediction.
