Notes of the Nintendo FY'24 report
Nintendo Switch is focusing on breaking the PS2 record.
I’ll leave aside the company's financial performance and focus only on the platform/game results.
Nintendo Switch
In the fiscal year 2024 (from April 2023 to March 2024), the company sold 15.7 million Nintendo Switch units. The trend is declining for 4th year straight, which is normal for the end of the lifecycle.
The company reported a total of 141.32 million Nintendo Switch units sold.
❗️ Currently, the Nintendo Switch is the second best-selling console in history. The PlayStation 2 is in first place with 155.1 million units sold.
The number of active users has been steadily increasing since 2018. In the fiscal year 2024, the number of users reached 123 million.
Game Sales
Global sales of Nintendo's first-party lineup have been declining for the second consecutive year, despite the successes of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (20.6 million), Super Mario Bros. Wonder (13.4 million copies), and others.
In 2024, 31 games on Nintendo Switch surpassed the 1 million copies mark. 20 of them were Nintendo's own games, while 11 were from other publishers.
