Nintendo has shared some pretty significant statistics regarding the Switch and Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild as a part of its financial results today.
The Switch has shipped around 2.17 million hardware units worldwide. The Switch generated the most sales in the Americas with 1.2 million units. Next up was Europe at 940,000 units. Japan rounds things out with 600,000 units.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has seen “immense popularity,” Nintendo says. It shipped 2.76 million copies on Switch alone, and 3.84 million with Wii U included.
In other Switch news, the Minecraft version of the Switch will feature “medium sized worlds”, will run at 60fps and will feature world transfers.
the Switch’s “Medium” sized worlds will be a whole lot bigger than the worlds on PS3 and Xbox 360, comparatively the PS3 and Xbox 360 had worlds as big as 864×864, while the Switch version goes as high as 3072×3072.
This latest portable version of Minecraft will also be running at a much smoother rate than the Vita version of Minecraft only runs at around 20-25FPS.
Finally, the Switch will feature world transfers from the Wii U so that you can keep working on your existing projects – however, this functionality will, unfortunately, not be available on the launch date.
I don’t know about you, but considering how bumpy the launch was and the mixed opinions before the launch, the Switch has been performing pretty brilliantly, especially considering the minimal triple-A titles available on the console. How have you found your time with the Switch? Worth the hype? Let us know in the comments!
