The Switch was unveiled on October 20, 2016; the concept came about as Nintendo's reaction to financial losses attributed to poor sales of the Wii U and market competition from <a href="/wiki/Mobile_game" title="Mobile game">mobile games</a>. Nintendo's then-president <a href="/wiki/Satoru_Iwata" title="Satoru Iwata">Satoru Iwata</a> pushed the company towards mobile gaming and novel hardware. The Switch's design was aimed at a wide demographic of players through multiple modes of use. Nintendo preemptively sought the support of many <a href="/wiki/Video_game_developer#Third-party_developers" title="Video game developer">third-party developers and publishers</a>, as well as <a href="/wiki/Independent_video_game" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent video game">independent</a> studios, to help build the Switch's game library alongside its first-party games, while standard electronic components, such as a chipset based on <a href="/wiki/Nvidia" title="Nvidia">Nvidia</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Tegra" title="Tegra">Tegra</a> line, were chosen to make development for the console easier for programmers and more compatible with existing <a href="/wiki/Game_engine" title="Game engine">game engines</a>.

The deal developed mobile titles based on Nintendo's first-party franchises, believing this approach would not compromise their integrity.<a href="#cite_note-30">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-31">[16]</a> Following Iwata's death in July 2015, Kimishima was named as <a href="/wiki/President_(corporate_title)" title="President (corporate title)">president</a> of Nintendo, while Miyamoto was promoted to the title of "Creative Fellow".<a href="#cite_note-bloomberg-29">[14]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Development">Development</h3></div> The initial conception for the Switch started shortly after the release of the Wii U in 2012.<a href="#cite_note-glixel_history-32">[17]</a> Kimishima stated that when Nintendo was evaluating what new hardware they wanted to produce, they "didn't just want a successor" to either the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_3DS" title="Nintendo 3DS">Nintendo 3DS</a> or Wii U, but instead asked "what kind of new experience can we create?"<a href="#cite_note-bloomberg-29">[14]</a> In an interview with <a href="/wiki/The_Asahi_Shimbun" title="The Asahi Shimbun">The Asahi Shimbun</a>, Kimishima said that the Switch was designed to provide a "new way to play" that would "have a larger impact than the Wii U".<a href="#cite_note-vg247-nxsuccessor-33">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-CnetNX-34">[19]</a> <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_of_America" class="mw-redirect" title="Nintendo of America">Nintendo of America</a> president and <a href="/wiki/Chief_operating_officer" title="Chief operating officer">COO</a> <a href="/wiki/Reggie_Fils-Aim%C3%A9" title="Reggie Fils-Aimé">Reggie Fils-Aimé</a> emphasized the console's appeal as a device that would provide gamers the option to play at home or on the go and noted that it would enable developers to create new types of games.<a href="#cite_note-NYT_new_market-35">[20]</a> This approach continued Nintendo's <a href="/wiki/Blue_Ocean_Strategy" title="Blue Ocean Strategy">blue ocean strategy</a> for the competitive console marketplace, as rather than compete feature for feature with the other consoles, they would establish unique and difficult-to-copy devices.<a href="#cite_note-36">[21]</a> Miyamoto said that some broad concepts of the Switch extend from the "lateral thinking with seasoned technology" design philosophy of <a href="/wiki/Gunpei_Yokoi" title="Gunpei Yokoi">Gunpei Yokoi</a> that Nintendo has used over the last couple of decades.<a href="#cite_note-time_miyamoto-37">[22]</a> The commercial failure of the Wii U also pressured Nintendo in the Switch's development. Early sales of the Wii U were weak compared to the Wii, and major third-party studios like <a href="/wiki/Electronic_Arts" title="Electronic Arts">Electronic Arts</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ubisoft" title="Ubisoft">Ubisoft</a> announced they would not support the console near the end of the Wii U's first year, further hampering its sales. According to Fils-Aimé, when it became apparent that the Wii U's life cycle performance would underperform the company's expectations, the Switch became a "make or break product" for Nintendo.<a href="#cite_note-38">[23]</a> The design of the Switch was aimed to bridge the polarization of the gaming market at the time, creating a device that could play "leisurely" video games along with games that are aimed to be played "deeply", according to Shinya Takahashi and <a href="/wiki/Yoshiaki_Koizumi" title="Yoshiaki Koizumi">Yoshiaki Koizumi</a>, general manager and deputy general manager of Nintendo's <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_Planning_%26_Development" title="Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development">Entertainment Planning & Development Division</a> (EPD) respectively.<a href="#cite_note-glixel_history-32">[17]</a> This approach also would apply to the cultural lifestyle and gaming differences between Japanese and Western players; Japanese players tend to play on the go and with social groups, while Western players tend to play at home by themselves.<a href="#cite_note-time_feb2017-39">[24]</a> The design of the Switch would meet both cultures, and certain games, like <a href="/wiki/1-2-Switch" title="1-2-Switch">1-2-Switch</a>, could potentially make social gaming more acceptable in Western culture.<a href="#cite_note-time_kimishima-40">[25]</a> Two key elements that were set to address this mixed market were the ability for the unit to play either on a television screen or as a portable and the use of detachable controllers.<a href="#cite_note-glixel_history-32">[17]</a> The "Switch" name was selected not only to refer to the console's ability to switch from handheld to home console modes, but to present "the idea of being a 'switch' that will flip and change the way people experience entertainment in their daily lives".<a href="#cite_note-siliconera_naming-41">[26]</a> Part of the inspiration of the Switch's form and design was from feedback players had given Nintendo on the <a href="/wiki/Wii_Remote" title="Wii Remote">Wii Remote</a>, according to Shinya Takahashi. With the release of games like <a href="/wiki/Wii_Sports" title="Wii Sports">Wii Sports</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wii_Fit" title="Wii Fit">Wii Fit</a>, players had asked Nintendo if they could make the Wii Remote in a smaller form factor, potentially strapped to a part of their body. This led to Nintendo envisioning what a smaller form-factor controller could provide in both hardware and gameplay, and it led to the idea of a console that was small enough with these new controllers to also be portable.<a href="#cite_note-42">[27]</a> Other concepts came out of critical consumer feedback of the Wii U. Fils-Aimé said that one common criticism they had for the Wii U was that while players did enjoy using the <a href="/wiki/Wii_U_GamePad" title="Wii U GamePad">Wii U GamePad</a> and would want to play games on it anywhere, it became functionless if they moved a distance away from the main console. This served for Nintendo to design a home console that the player could take with them anywhere.<a href="#cite_note-43">[28]</a> Around five different prototypes were developed for the Switch before they finalized on the released design. This included developing different methods of how the Joy-Con controllers would physically connect to the console, including using magnets to hold them in place.<a href="#cite_note-glixel_history-32">[17]</a> In addition to the form-factor design, Nintendo needed to balance the power and speed of the console's <a href="/wiki/Central_processing_unit" title="Central processing unit">central processing unit</a> with battery life and the unit's size, coupled with limited development resources and deadlines set by Nintendo's management. One choice made by the development team was to use an existing <a href="/wiki/System_on_a_chip" title="System on a chip">system on a chip</a> (SOC) rather than creating their own as they had done on previous consoles. Koizumi said that this break from tradition was done to gain more third-party support for the console by using an SOC to which developers could easily port games. Nintendo was not focused on raw processing power but was instead looking to balance the overall features of the system, including battery life and size, as well as keeping in mind their limited development resources and timeline. Koizumi said, "The most difficult part was on how to take an overall balance while we were getting entangled with all of those in complexity."<a href="#cite_note-glixel_history-32">[17]</a> To achieve this balance, they did not opt to use the more powerful hardware they could have used, instead using a middle-ground approach to achieve their vision of the Switch.<a href="#cite_note-44">[29]</a> Koizumi served as the general producer of the Switch during its development.<a href="#cite_note-time_feb2017-39">[24]</a> According to Miyamoto, the Switch's development within Nintendo was headed by younger employees, with him saying "it's really been them that have put this forward and designed this system".<a href="#cite_note-glixel_miyamoto-45">[30]</a><a href="#cite_note-nytimes_dec_2017-46">[31]</a> Miyamoto said of the younger employees: "I always look for designers who aren't super-passionate game fans. I make it a point to ensure they're not just a gamer, but that they have a lot of different interests and skill sets."<a href="#cite_note-nytimes_dec_2017-46">[31]</a> Junior developers were also used to help brainstorm ideas of how to make sure the Switch had a longer lifecycle beyond the typical five-to-six years as most other consoles had.<a href="#cite_note-47">[32]</a> Miyamoto, Takeda, and Iwata were less involved, but provided necessary oversight on the Switch's development principally around the cost of implementing new features that would make the Switch stand out.<a href="#cite_note-time_miyamoto-37">[22]</a> For Miyamoto, his limited involvement allowed him to spend more time on Nintendo's software titles being developed at the time, such as <a href="/wiki/Super_Mario_Run" title="Super Mario Run">Super Mario Run</a>.<a href="#cite_note-glixel_miyamoto-45">[30]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Announcements">Announcements</h3></div> The first public news about the Switch's hardware happened alongside the announcement of Nintendo and DeNA's partnership on March 17, 2015. At this stage, Nintendo referred to the console under the codename "NX" and described it as a "brand new concept".<a href="#cite_note-48">[33]</a> At an investor's meeting in April 2016, Nintendo announced that it planned to release the NX worldwide in March 2017.<a href="#cite_note-49">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-50">[35]</a> While Nintendo did not unveil the NX's hardware at <a href="/wiki/E3_2016" title="E3 2016">E3 2016</a> in June, it did announce that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which was originally announced as a Wii U-exclusive, would also be released for the NX. At a Nintendo shareholders' meeting following the conference, Miyamoto stated that the company had concerns that competitors could copy ideas from the NX if they revealed it too soon.<a href="#cite_note-geekcom-wontreplace-51">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-polygon-e3imitator-52">[37]</a> The following month, rumors began to surface surrounding the nature of the console, including its use of <a href="/wiki/Nvidia_Tegra" class="mw-redirect" title="Nvidia Tegra">Nvidia Tegra</a> hardware, being a "hybrid" device intended for both home and mobile use, controllers that can detach from the main device and be played separately, and that Nintendo would distribute games on the console via cartridges and digital downloads.<a href="#cite_note-53">[38]</a><a href="#cite_note-54">[39]</a><a href="#cite_note-55">[40]</a> On October 20, 2016, Nintendo officially announced the console under the name Nintendo Switch, alongside a trailer that demonstrated the hardware's nature as a hybrid device.<a href="#cite_note-engadget-nxreveal2-56">[41]</a> At the time of the trailer's release, Nintendo did not provide many details on features of the platform, though they planned to have events in 2017 to provide more details about the console.

This has caused some games also available on other consoles to be priced higher on the Switch due to the costs of manufacturing the game card for the Switch version.<a href="#cite_note-309">[292]</a> Online media outlets have colloquially referred to this price hike as the "Switch tax".<a href="#cite_note-310">[293]</a><a href="#cite_note-311">[294]</a> The "Switch tax" also applies to many games that had been previously released on other platforms ported later to the Switch, where the Switch game price reflects the original price of the game when it was first released rather than its current price. As of August 2018<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nintendo_Switch&action=edit">[update]</a>, it is estimated that the cost of Switch games is an average of 10% over other formats.<a href="#cite_note-312">[295]</a> Game cards at the time of the Switch's release had a 32 GB capacity; Nintendo had planned to introduce 64 GB game cards by the second half of 2018, but had to push this back.<a href="#cite_note-313">[296]</a> Some physical games may still require content to be installed to internal storage, with some games using a significant portion of the internal memory if a microSD card is not available.<a href="#cite_note-polygon-legocityinstall-314">[297]</a> Other physical games which have a large amount of content may require a microSD card to be present in the Switch, such as <a href="/wiki/NBA_2K18" title="NBA 2K18">NBA 2K18</a>; such games are clearly marked on the cover to show these requirements.<a href="#cite_note-315">[298]</a> The Switch supports the ability for <a href="/wiki/Cloud_gaming" title="Cloud gaming">cloud gaming</a> to run games that require more hardware capabilities than the Switch allows, running these games over a network with the game computations performed on server hardware. These games may be tied to specific regions due to purchasing options. Early examples of such games on the Switch include <a href="/wiki/Resident_Evil_7:_Biohazard" title="Resident Evil 7: Biohazard">Resident Evil 7: Biohazard</a>, <a href="/wiki/Phantasy_Star_Online_2" title="Phantasy Star Online 2">Phantasy Star Online 2</a> and <a href="/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed:_Odyssey" class="mw-redirect" title="Assassin's Creed: Odyssey">Assassin's Creed: Odyssey</a> which were primarily limited to Japanese releases,<a href="#cite_note-316">[299]</a> while more recently <a href="/wiki/Control_(video_game)" title="Control (video game)">Control</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hitman_3" title="Hitman 3">Hitman 3</a> will be offered through cloud gaming worldwide in 2020 and beyond.<a href="#cite_note-317">[300]</a> Unlike previous Nintendo home consoles, the Switch is <a href="/wiki/Regional_lockout" title="Regional lockout">region-free</a>.

Once the user re-registers their account to a Switch, they have access to download all previous purchases; however, a user can only have their account registered on one console at a time, and downloaded software tied to an account cannot be used if that account is not registered to the device.<a href="#cite_note-eurogamer_link-273">[257]</a> With the console's 6.0.0 system update, alongside the launch of the Online service in September 2018, a user can play games that they have purchased from the eShop on a second Switch console, though requiring continuous online connection and other restrictions.<a href="#cite_note-320">[303]</a> The Switch does not use <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_optical_discs" title="Nintendo optical discs">optical discs</a>, and as such does not have native <a href="/wiki/Backward_compatibility" title="Backward compatibility">backward compatibility</a> with software from any previous Nintendo console.<a href="#cite_note-321">[304]</a> The Switch is also not backward compatible with other digital titles from previous consoles.<a href="#cite_note-kotaku_questions-170">[154]</a> Emulated versions of games from previous Nintendo systems are offered through eShop and the Nintendo Switch Online service, although the blanket <a href="/wiki/Virtual_Console" title="Virtual Console">Virtual Console</a> brand used for these releases on Wii, Wii U, and 3DS has been dropped.<a href="#cite_note-322">[305]</a><a href="#cite_note-323">[306]</a> In February 2017, Kimishima said that the Switch is powerful enough to emulate titles from previous Nintendo consoles.<a href="#cite_note-time_kimishima-40">[25]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Third-party_support">Third-party support</h3></div> One of the generally perceived failures of the Wii U was a lack of support from third-party developers, leading to a weak library of games.<a href="#cite_note-324">[307]</a> Nintendo was more aggressive in trying to bring on third-party developers, early in the Switch's development, to ensure a stronger lineup of games. Takahashi and Koizumi reached out to many of the third-parties directly to help gain their support early on.<a href="#cite_note-time_feb2017-39">[24]</a> Electronic Arts' executive Patrick Söderlund said that Nintendo had taken a different track with attracting third-party developers to the Switch and have engaged Electronic Arts and other major developers throughout the development of the Switch, listening to their input, to help make the Switch more successful.<a href="#cite_note-325">[308]</a> Nintendo also began gaining support of <a href="/wiki/Independent_video_game_development" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent video game development">independent video game developers</a> in the middle of 2016 to provide assistance to help them bring games to the Switch, led by Nintendo's head of partner management Damon Baker.<a href="#cite_note-gameinformer_indies-326">[309]</a> They had tried to draw in indie developers near the end of the Wii U's lifetime, providing indie game demos that were highlighted during <a href="/wiki/E3_2015" title="E3 2015">E3 2015</a>, but by this point, the Wii U had already been considered a failure.<a href="#cite_note-gameinformer_indies-326">[309]</a> Nintendo sees games such as <a href="/wiki/Snipperclips" title="Snipperclips">Snipperclips</a> as a model of their target for indie games, in which they worked to help provide Switch implementation support and software tools to these parties early in the console's lifecycle, according to Takahashi and Koizumi.<a href="#cite_note-time_feb2017-39">[24]</a> Some, like <a href="/wiki/Yacht_Club_Games" title="Yacht Club Games">Yacht Club Games</a>, who have ported <a href="/wiki/Shovel_Knight" title="Shovel Knight">Shovel Knight</a> to the Switch, noted that some of the major innovations in the Switch, such as the Joy-Con, were not revealed to them until just prior to the January 2017 announcement.<a href="#cite_note-327">[310]</a> Nintendo of America reached out to many independent developers and publishers, including <a href="/wiki/Chucklefish" title="Chucklefish">Chucklefish</a>, <a href="/wiki/Team17" title="Team17">Team17</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Devolver_Digital" title="Devolver Digital">Devolver Digital</a>, to gain titles for the platform and make the process of publishing easier. Nintendo still curates which titles they allow on the system, using the company's past portfolio for evaluation, and still carefully time releases to keep a steady stream of new content. However, once a game is greenlit, pushing out patches and updates can be done rapidly and at no further cost to the developer.<a href="#cite_note-328">[311]</a><a href="#cite_note-329">[312]</a> Nintendo also offers the Switch's <a href="/wiki/Game_development_kit" title="Game development kit">dev kit</a> at 50,000 yen, or about $450, far under the cost of a comparable dev kit for other consoles, making it more amenable for smaller developers to afford and build for the unit.<a href="#cite_note-330">[313]</a> Nintendo offers several of these indie games as "Nindies" through the eShop. Nintendo had anticipated that they would have at least sixty indie games released for the Switch through 2017, but ended up with over 320 titles by the end of 2017 as a result of the console's popularity.<a href="#cite_note-331">[314]</a><a href="#cite_note-332">[315]</a><a href="#cite_note-glixel_gdc_2018-333">[316]</a> Indie developers have found that Nintendo has also had a significant role in the promotion and marketing of their games, including using the games to help promote the Switch itself, in contrast to Microsoft or Sony. These developers also found Nintendo tries to keep a better rapport with fans of Nintendo's products, and help these fans identify Switch indie games they feel they will like the most, including those games that build on Nintendo's classic games from the NES, SNES, and Game Boy eras that can draw in a more global audience.<a href="#cite_note-gameinformer_indies-326">[309]</a> Baker says that while they do try to encourage indie developers to release their games as a Switch console exclusive, they do not force developers towards this, knowing that the developers must have a good business case for doing so.<a href="#cite_note-gameinformer_indies-326">[309]</a> While many independent developers have praised Nintendo for better support for the Switch, others, speaking anonymously through <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Life" class="mw-redirect" title="Nintendo Life">Nintendo Life</a>, noted that Nintendo seemed to have a "<a href="/wiki/Walled_garden_(technology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Walled garden (technology)">walled garden</a>" approach with independent developers, a remnant from the <a href="/wiki/WiiWare" title="WiiWare">WiiWare</a> program that allowed a great deal of <a href="/wiki/Shovelware" title="Shovelware">shovelware</a> to be pushed onto it. These anonymous developers found that Nintendo was either eschewing some developers completely, or requiring them to have a well-known publishing partner or an inside person within Nintendo to be able to gain the rights to publish for the Switch.<a href="#cite_note-334">[317]</a><a href="#cite_note-335">[318]</a> Baker said that they encourage self-publishing, but do also place value on trust of established partners for their recommendations of what games would be best for the Switch.<a href="#cite_note-kotaku_baker_mar2018-319">[302]</a> Another factor limiting Nintendo is the availability of dev kits and other hardware at the start of the console's life. However, Baker does anticipate that Nintendo will be much more open in the future, once they have addressed the necessary issues for curation and discovery of titles via the eShop.<a href="#cite_note-glixel_gdc_2018-333">[316]</a> During its official unveiling in October 2016, Nintendo deliberately opted not to provide a list of games for the system, as they "want people to touch the device in January [2017] and experience the software for themselves", according to Kimishima.<a href="#cite_note-bloomberg_oct2016-137">[122]</a> Instead, Nintendo announced some of the partners that had committed to supporting the Switch; contrasting Nintendo's struggles to gain third-party support on-launch for previous platforms, the company initially listed 48 third-party publishers, studios, and <a href="/wiki/Middleware" title="Middleware">middleware</a> developers.<a href="#cite_note-engadget-nxreveal2-56">[41]</a> Among these partners, Nintendo listed major publishers such as <a href="/wiki/Activision" title="Activision">Activision</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bethesda_Softworks" title="Bethesda Softworks">Bethesda</a>, <a href="/wiki/Electronic_Arts" title="Electronic Arts">Electronic Arts</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sega" title="Sega">Sega</a>, <a href="/wiki/Square_Enix" title="Square Enix">Square Enix</a>, <a href="/wiki/Take-Two_Interactive" title="Take-Two Interactive">Take-Two Interactive</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Ubisoft" title="Ubisoft">Ubisoft</a>.<a href="#cite_note-engadget-nxreveal2-56">[41]</a><a href="#cite_note-vg247-nxpartners-336">[319]</a><a href="#cite_note-337">[320]</a> Nintendo had previously relied more on providing its own internally developed tools and libraries that third-party developers would use to develop games for earlier systems. With the Switch, the company went a different route. According to Takahashi, "we have been aiming to realize an environment in which a variety of different third-party developers are able to easily develop compatible software", taking advantage of the Nvidia chipset's support for many standard libraries that allows for ease of transition from other platforms to the Switch.<a href="#cite_note-vb_apis-338">[321]</a> <a href="/wiki/Unity_Technologies" title="Unity Technologies">Unity Technologies</a>, <a href="/wiki/Epic_Games" title="Epic Games">Epic Games</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Khronos_Group" title="Khronos Group">Khronos Group</a> pledged support to help developers bring games to the Switch using their game engines and middleware, <a href="/wiki/Unity_(game_engine)" title="Unity (game engine)">Unity</a>, <a href="/wiki/Unreal_Engine_4" title="Unreal Engine 4">Unreal Engine 4</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Vulkan_(API)" class="mw-redirect" title="Vulkan (API)">Vulkan</a> and <a href="/wiki/OpenGL" title="OpenGL">OpenGL</a> graphical APIs, respectively;<a href="#cite_note-339">[322]</a><a href="#cite_note-340">[323]</a><a href="#cite_note-341">[324]</a> for instance, the Unreal Engine toolkit was updated in February 2017 to provide beta testing for native support for Switch games, with full support added by May 2017.<a href="#cite_note-342">[325]</a><a href="#cite_note-343">[326]</a> In March 2018, Nintendo announced it had also gained support of <a href="/wiki/YoYo_Games" title="YoYo Games">YoYo Games</a>' <a href="/wiki/GameMaker_Studio" class="mw-redirect" title="GameMaker Studio">GameMaker Studio</a> 2 engine for the Switch.<a href="#cite_note-344">[327]</a> Miyamoto said that Nintendo's own developers have "mastered" engines like Unreal, so that while it would be unlikely that Nintendo would release a first-party title using such software, they can help support developers using these tools on the Switch.<a href="#cite_note-vb_apis-338">[321]</a> Several indie developers who have previously worked on Nintendo's consoles said that the Switch was "the least demanding Nintendo console" they have developed.<a href="#cite_note-345">[328]</a><a href="#cite_note-gameinformer_indies-326">[309]</a> In addition to these third-party middleware solutions, Nintendo developed its own NintendoWare Bezel Engine for first- and third-party developers, first announced in 2018, aimed "to provide an environment that can create interesting games in a short period of time while keeping development costs as low as possible".

units were sold in Japan within its first month, beating out the PlayStation 4 to this figure.<a href="#cite_note-424">[406]</a><a href="#cite_note-UK-twoday-425">[407]</a><a

performance in their 2016 fiscal year results (which ended March 31, 2017), reporting that more than 2.74 million units had been sold worldwide, exceeding their target of two million.<a href="#cite_note-NintendofirstofficialSwitchnumbers-429">[411]</a><a href="#cite_note-430">[412]</a> Retailer GameStop reported that initial sales of the Switch were "phenomenal" and on track to surpass the Wii U based on their historical sales data, with merchandising director Eric Bright saying the Switch has had "one of the highest attach rates of software and accessories to a device that we've seen in a long time".<a href="#cite_note-431">[413]</a> Retailer GameStop reported significant growth in hardware sales in its first quarter of 2017 due primarily to the Switch,<a href="#cite_note-432">[414]</a> while <a href="/wiki/Best_Buy" title="Best Buy">Best Buy</a> saw an unexpected increase in their hardware sales in its first quarter of 2017 buoyed by the popularity of the Switch.<a href="#cite_note-433">[415]</a> Console sales in Japan, which had been languishing due to the strength of the mobile game market, saw its first annual growth of 14.8% in 2017 due to the release of the Switch.<a href="#cite_note-434">[416]</a> Physical sales for Switch games were at 5.46 million worldwide in its first month, with 2.76 million copies of Breath of the Wild for the Switch making up nearly half of those sales.<a href="#cite_note-435">[417]</a> On Breath of the Wild's nearly 1-to-1 sales with the Switch console, Nintendo's Kimishima said, "This high of an attach rate is more or less unprecedented".<a href="#cite_note-436">[418]</a> The large sales within the first month forced Nintendo to increase their production capacity,<a href="#cite_note-437">[419]</a> and to temporarily use <a href="/wiki/Air_cargo" title="Air cargo">air freight</a> to ship Switch units instead of their usual overseas shipment, costing an estimated $45 per console, rather than the less-costly overseas shipment.<a href="#cite_note-438">[420]</a> With these changes, Nintendo projected that it would sell at least 10 million Switch consoles during the 2017 fiscal year, alongside 35 million games.<a href="#cite_note-NintendofirstofficialSwitchnumbers-429">[411]</a> Kimishima stated that having a Switch user base of 10 million "will give publishers and the rest of our business partners a sense that the future of Nintendo Switch is more promising" and spur further game development for the platform.<a href="#cite_note-gibiz_wii-439">[421]</a> Kimishima said that a key goal in their production ramp up would be to make sure they have enough Switch inventory near the end of 2017 for holiday sales, as to avoid the issue with Wii shortages that occurred during its first holiday-season period, while balancing the near-term high demand.<a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_fy2016_qa-193">[177]</a> According to Kimishima, Nintendo now believed that if they could reach 10 million in Switch sales in 2017, they expected the Switch would have lifetime sales comparable to the Wii, which had sold over 100 million units in its lifetime.<a href="#cite_note-gibiz_wii-439">[421]</a><a href="#cite_note-gamasutra_fy2016_qa-193">[177]</a> The Switch continued to show strong sales throughout its first year of release. In its financial report released in October 2017 for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, Nintendo reported worldwide sales of the Switch at 7.63 million, with the expectation to sell more than 14 million by the end of its current financial year, exceeding the Wii U's lifetime 13.56 million sales. Five software titles had achieved at least one million in sales by this point: Breath of the Wild (4.7M), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (4.42M), Splatoon 2 (3.61M), 1-2 Switch (1.37M), and Arms (1.35M).<a href="#cite_note-440">[422]</a> Shortly after this financial report, Nintendo reported that <a href="/wiki/Super_Mario_Odyssey" title="Super Mario Odyssey">Super Mario Odyssey</a> for the Switch sold more than two million copies within three days of its release on October 27, 2017.<a href="#cite_note-441">[423]</a> Following this financial report, the <a href="/wiki/Wall_Street_Journal" class="mw-redirect" title="Wall Street Journal">Wall Street Journal</a> asserted that Nintendo anticipated to continue ramping production of the Switch in its 2018 fiscal year, with plans to produce between 25 and 30 million units that year or more depending on the 2017 holiday sales.<a href="#cite_note-wsj_nov2017-383">[365]</a> During the November 2017 <a href="/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping)" title="Black Friday (shopping)">Black Friday</a>, <a href="/wiki/Small_Business_Saturday" title="Small Business Saturday">Small Business Saturday</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Cyber_Monday" title="Cyber Monday">Cyber Monday</a> sales that kicked off the holiday shopping season in North America, <a href="/wiki/Adobe_Systems" class="mw-redirect" title="Adobe Systems">Adobe Digital Insights</a>' analysis showed the Switch was one of the top-five selling items, outpacing the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. NPD Group adjusted their future performance of the Switch to follow more closely with the Wii's lifetime sales rather than the Wii U's.<a href="#cite_note-442">[424]</a> On December 12, 2017, the company announced the system had sold over 10 million units worldwide, having reached its sales goal for the 2017 fiscal year within nine months. Nintendo raised its Switch sales expectation to 14 million units for the fiscal year.<a href="#cite_note-443">[425]</a> Shortly after this announcement, Kimishima said that Nintendo has a target of 20 million units sold within the console's second year, along with releasing new games that "enables new ways of playing" to continue the sales momentum.<a href="#cite_note-444">[426]</a> Based on its first year sales, the Switch was considered to be the fastest-selling game console in history in many regions. With 2017 year end Japanese sales data from Media Create, the Switch became the fastest-selling home console in Japan in first year sales, with its total sales of 3.2 million units exceeding the 3.0 million units of the <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_2" title="PlayStation 2">PlayStation 2</a> during its first year of release,<a href="#cite_note-445">[427]</a><a href="#cite_note-446">[428]</a> while <a href="/wiki/Famitsu" title="Famitsu">Famitsu</a> reported that these sales had eclipsed the lifetime sales of the Wii U in the country,<a href="#cite_note-447">[429]</a> and helped to support the first growth in sales within Japan's console market in eleven years.<a href="#cite_note-448">[430]</a> Nintendo of America also reported that with 4.8 million units sold in the United States by the end of 2017, 1.5 million units in December 2017 alone, the Switch was the fastest-selling console in the United States in its first 10 months, outpacing the Wii's performance of 4 million units in the same time period.<a href="#cite_note-449">[431]</a><a href="#cite_note-450">[432]</a> Similarly, the Switch was the fastest-selling console in France, having sold 911,000 units through the end of

the Wii's performance of 392,000 units in the same time period, according to TechVibes.<a href="#cite_note-452">[434]</a> According to analysis firm GBH Insights, the Nintendo Switch was the fifth-best-selling technology product in 2017.<a href="#cite_note-453">[435]</a> As of January 2018, the Switch has sold more than 300,000 units in Spain, surpassing the total lifetime sales of one of
