Nintendo dampens Switch enthusiasm in China
- Thursday | 25th April, 2019
Nintendo sold 16.95 million Switch hardware units in the year just ended, slightly undershooting its revised forecast of 17 million units. The Switch games pipeline continues to create fan excitement, with two full Pokemon titles due later this year. But though Nintendo Chief Executive Shuntaro Furukawa praised Tencent and the partnership on Thursday, he said Switch sales in China wouldn’t begin soon. Nintendo expects to sell 125 million copies of Switch games in the current fiscal year, versus 118.55 million in the year ended in March. Nintendo had initially forecast sales of 20 million units before Furukawa took up the role in June.
