The company announced today that it sold 735,000 Switch consoles in the United States in October, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. That is up 136% year-over-year. And it’s the second-best October for any gaming hardware behind only the 807,000 Wiis that Nintendo sold in October 2008.

The Switch numbers are absolutely bonkers. We're talking Wii peak numbers here, with little risk of falling off a cliff like Wii did. It's a monster of a platform.

No price cut — just massive revenue
In its press release, Nintendo notes that Switch has outsold Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for the last 23 months. This has led to the company selling 22.5 million Switch consoles in the U.S. since launch. And Nintendo is behaving like that’s not going to change.

The company used this release to also talk about its plans for the holiday. And this was most notable for what it doesn’t include: a price cut.

Only a year after launch, Nintendo Switch becomes China's most popular gaming console
Thanks to a strategic partnership with Tencent
December 11, 2020
https://www.techspot.com/news/87920-only-year-after-launch-nintendo-switch-becomes-china.html

In April 2019, Nintendo saw an opportunity to partner up with Tencent on launching the Switch console in China, and by December it brought it into the world's biggest and fastest-growing gaming market. The two companies also enlisted the help of several local AAA game developers including Tencent's own Next Studio to add to the catalog.
One year in, the Switch console has set a foothold in a region where Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PlayStation consoles have fought hard for years to reach more consumers

According to a report from market tracking firm Niko Partners, the Nintendo Switch sold more than 1.3 million units this year, which includes sales made through gray market channels. That's close to double the sales of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 during the same period.

Analyst Daniel Ahmad from Niko Partners says the console games market in China is expected to grow to $2.15 billion by 2024, but that is a conservative estimate given that Tencent considers its partnership with Nintendo a rewarding endeavor.

Nintendo shoots down the Switch Pro 4K rumor... again
September 30, 2021
https://www.neowin.net/news/nintendo-shoots-down-the-switch-pro-4k-rumor-again/

Nintendo is all set to launch the updated Nintendo Switch OLED on October 8. However, that hasn't stopped speculations regarding a Switch Pro model with 4K gaming support. A recent report from Bloomberg claimed that third-party game developers including Zynga have access to Nintendo's 4K development tools. Hinting at the initial development of a 4K Switch console, this news spread like wildfire, and eventually, the Japanese company had to step in to address the situation.

Nintendo Japan's official Twitter account stated that Bloomberg's report "falsely claims that Nintendo is supplying tools to drive game development for a Nintendo Switch with 4K support." In the following tweet, the Japanese company reiterated that it has no plans for any new model save for the Switch OLED.

However, it is worth noting that Nintendo usually focuses more on gameplay experience rather than a mere visual upgrade. So, packing in more powerful hardware at this point may not align with its strategy.

Launched in 2017, Nintendo's Switch still brings in strong sales numbers. Going by the figures from June, the Japanese company has moved over 89 million units of its Switch console.
