Nintendo Switch was Nintendo’s best launch ever, in the Americas
Nintendo has just announced that this weekend’s console launch was the highest in the company’s history, at least in the Americas.
Additionally, the hybrid console’s launch title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was the best-selling launch title of any Nintendo console. Next in line for that title is now Super Mario 64 which launched with the Nintendo 64.
