The return of Nintendo is complete as the company gets closer to 20 million sales of Switch

NINTENDO'S REVIVAL continues relentlessly a few years after the Wii U was announced in a low voice as the end of the company.

Its Q1 results for 2018 show that the Japanese pillar has sold 19.67 million Switch consoles worldwide, well beyond the initial expectations and only seven months after breaking the 10 million mark, which earned him the fastest console title in the history of the United States.

Nintendo is committed to breaking through this barrier to beat the 20 million mark. At the moment, it has only managed about 10% of this figure, but it's not really the game period.

Once we get closer to Black Friday and then spendorama six weeks, we will probably see a lot more figures on the target – all the more so as there is a series of new games on the horizon (unfortunately no port of Big Brain Academy or Wii Sports Resort. Boo).

Nintendo achieved the £ 208m equivalent of its £ 1.14bn business this quarter and it's a huge leap for a company that did The Switch in " Do-or- end-up-like-HTC -Die "At the end of the quarter, The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of Nature is expected to touch 10 million. copies sold, putting it alongside Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe the latter having crossed the 10 million mark this quarter.

All this is blatant and talkative of course because the question will be whether Chris can become as good as Carly or Roland on Zelda . The answer is probably no.

The Nintendo Switch has also been reinforced with the all-conqueror Fortnite arriving on the console as a free-to-play title, which makes it attractive for those who just want to get the console without an agreement, but then are not sure what they will play.

The games are likely to fuel future finances with Mario Tennis Aces already 1.4 million sales in just a few weeks.

Meanwhile, Nintendo is committed to the 3DS after some have questioned its lifespan. However, the regular versions of the devices are now disappearing in favor of the XL editions, and these are the ones we will see promoted at Christmas.

With even more sodding Pokemon we would wait. μ
