In just 5 years’ time, the Switch has revolutionized Nintendo’s business. The company was teetering on the brink of ruin following the Wii U’s massive flop, but the Switch sparked incredible year-over-year growth and eventually led to the highest operating profits and ordinary profits in Nintendo history.
A significant portion of this turnaround success is owed to the Nintendo Switch’s vast library of games. First-party game sales and revenues reign over third-party–Nintendo is the only platform-holder to make more from first-party than third-party–and software has steadily grown year-over-year thanks to the Switch’s strong lineup and growing eShop presence.
First-party games are performing better than ever. Below you can find a chart that details the performance of key first-party best-sellers and how much they’ve grown throughout Q3-Q4 alongside cumulative sell-in, and a breakdown of how much the top-sellers have sold during the entire FY22 period.
