The period is on the balance sheet and it’s the turn of nintendo to go there on this Tuesday, with a report that you can consult in its entirety on his sitewhich therefore covers the quarter extending from July 1 to September 30, 2022. At the last count communicated this summer, the Switch was therefore at 111.08 million units sold, a huge quantity which continues to grow and which thus passed to 114.33 million over the period, which still gives us 3.25 million additional consoles sold. Yes, the PS5 sold better than the hybrid machine of Big N. this trimester ! Inevitably, the sales forecasts by the end of the current fiscal year have been revised slightly downwards, without this marking a decrease in the estimated cash inflows, on the contrary, like what…
On the games side, 54 million copies found takers, bringing the total to 917.59 million. The top 10 exclusives first-party Nintendo moves only very slightly at the end of the ranking with a simple inversion, no newcomer being able to access it at the moment, which could obviously change at the end of the year.

The publisher also reveals other figures concerning the titles located below this top in terms of sales performance:
- Pokemon Legends: Arceus – 13.91 million (read the test);
- Mario Party Superstars – 8.07 million;
- Splatoon 3 – 7.90 million (new entry, read test);
- Nintendo Switch Sports – 6.15 million;
- Kirby and the Forgotten World – 5.27 million (read the test);
- Mario Strikers: Battle League Football – 2.17 million (read the test);
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – 1.72 million (new entry, read test).
Well, clearly, this is where we find that the license Xenoblade from MonolithSoft is “niche”, but the latest episode has nothing to be ashamed of, while the new Splatoon made a canon start to him who is much more mainstream. They both make the best starts in their series.
See you in February for the next point of this kind, where we will then have the first sales figures of Bayonetta 3 and Pokemon Scarlet and Purple, the latter having the potential to upset the established order. You can also pre-order them for the price of €44.99 on Amazon.
